On top of being so busy it's sure hot and humid! Even when we have some rain everyday it gets too humid. I and family have been working to get my parents house ready to sell. We started painting last weekend and are packing up everything we can donate. We took my brother out to eat for his birthday too so glad we were all together for that. I have been getting our yearly recertification training at work too. Yesterday was a 9 hour day!
I and my daughter are getting ready for our trip next week. I have my list so I don't forget anything .....but we usually do! My son will be feeding the cats, maybe I can get him to do some more yardwork too while we're gone! It's good to get away to a different place for a while to recharge.
take care, LindaView Thread

Wow, I got to see all kinds of things today! Traffic on the highway was almost at a standstill from an accident, I was late to work. I saw a turtle that must have been over a foot long, looked like a swimmer. He was trying to cross the street and a truck at least saw it and went around. Probubly came from the small pond there.
I locked my keys in my car at grocery store! Very glad I had a spare! I made dinner and exercised and felt better. It's a new day tomorrow!
Have a good day! LindaView Thread


Yeah, I'm trying not to take too much from M/D's house. I find some things have strong feelings in them when you've seen it for so long. There are things from when I was little that we always had. But, I don't want to end up on that show..."Hoarders" too! lol
My grandson has begun playing piano so my son came yesterday and we went and loaded up Mom's organ for them to have. I haven't sewn in some time but I have Mom's sewing machine/cabinent. My brother suggested I make some quilts-she always had quilts to give us. Mom had a walker with wheels and a seat on it. We decided to keep it "in the family" in case one of us needs it soon! lol With my knees I might be first in line! It's almost new.
The realator didn't give the price we had hoped for so we'll see if there is something we can do to help.
We did so much moving yesterday, my yard didn't get cut. So my son and grandson are coming back today....good reason to start the grill!! Have a good day, LindaView Thread

I hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of their weekend! I was doing some shopping on my way home. I went to pay with debit card and saw strange writing on card machine after I slid card. Letters were scattered and didn't make a sensible word. I wondered if the machine was wearing out. I asked cashier and she said to enter my numbers and we got sale done. We came to find out it was "communicating" to us in spanish!! I read muchos gracias on the machine as I left. haha Next time I should look and choose the language I can read!
We have begun clean up on Mom and Dad's house. Want to sell it asap. The realator said now is a good time to sell but by the time we're done getting everything out and painting ect. it will be after the good buying time. I'll be spending the day tomorrow on it with brother and sisters. We're packing up any knick knacks and donating them all to good will ect. We run across a favorite now and then and discuss who wants it. Mirrors, furniture ect. I was cleaning out freezer(it was left as is til my brother moved out. I found peanut butter cookies Mom made last year.... wow.
Looks like we're having a warm weekend. Hope you all have a good one! LindaView Thread

It was different at the arena football I went to Sat. nite.....but it was cool in there! I had that sameguy today at work....did pretty well but he was really sleepy from his meds so didn't do much. I'm waiting to see how someone else does with him and they wonder what they did wrong! One staff in particular was too worried about her individuals to even help me! Some are like that.View Thread

Hope you all had a happy safe 4th! I had a great time at a bbq. We had chicken, ribs, shrimp kabobs, crab legs and fixins. I made potato salad...and they wanted the rest for later....just like last time. They keep asking me to make potato salad..hmm.....! Well, as long as I get my bowl back I'll keep making it! Before we ate we were in the pool most of the time with our rum slushies. The dog jumped in with us.
The days seem to be dryer.....more time to mow grass in between rain! Hey, I got accolades at work. I worked so well with my individual-found something to keep him busy and kept his interest. I gave he spelled words to me as I wrote them and he loved it! My manager went to tell his boss and he had to see it! I thought I was just doing my job and everyone was coming in to watch!! One of the behavior analysts came in and watched for a while. They told me what a good job I did and all I could think of was what's the big deal? But, usually this guy is getting out of the room and laying on the floor. I was exhausted when I got home!
Have a good week ! LindaView Thread

I think we get on the board when we can and have to do what we can. Good to hear from everyone.... You're helping the soil with all those plants Phyllis. You must have a beautiful showcase when they all are growing! Maybe we'll see some pics on facebook? I see some of my periwinkles got left when the rest froze over the winter. I'm trying to put them all in one place! Some are in other plant's pots! Our weather is getting better everyday. The rain is less but the grass still grows.
Everyone having cookouts this weekend? I got invited to a football game Saturday and a cook out on Sunday. Maybe this time it won't rain and we'll get in the pool! lol
Have a good weekend and be safe, LindaView Thread

Seems like everyone is getting their share of rain. We're having thunder everyday and sometimes rain with it. So we have to mow more often now. My grandson does a good job. I have a wire fence around my wisteria so he know where it is! Glad to hear we'll hear from you again!
