Goodmorning ladies....well DH and DS are on there way, DH got up at 3:30 this morning to shower and finish packing and DS got here at 4:15....he was pretty excited...I got up and helped DH so he wouldnt forget anything, we packed the cooler with corn on the cob and his tri tip roast that I marinaded yesterday and he took water and ice tea and soda and all kinds of goodies...I just called him and they are in the San Fernando Valley now and heading out the the ocean.....he said he will call me when they get to San Pedro Harbor...then they will get in line for the boat out to 2 Harbors where our friend will meet them with his boat and then they all will boat out to Emerald Bay and unload all of their stuff...

Char I hope you have a wonderful time camping this weekend with your friends and family.....and I am glad you had a very nice time in PG yesterday.....

Well I need to get moving, I got up early this morning so I need to feed my animals and I have to weedeat my backyard before it gets to warm....

have a great day everyone.....I shall return later.

Hi, Pam and Friends!

Chex Mix is almost finished.  A batch of cookies is next.  I'm preparing a care package for my son who is overseas.  We're hoping to put it in the mail by tomorrow.

Pam - Glad to hear you husband and son are on their way.  Hope they have a super weekend.... and you, too.

Have a super day!
Vicki

Goodmorning Viki.....boy you are busy this morning....what a nice mom you are to do that for him, and I bet he loves getting those care packages from home too....

Animals are fed now I need to get my pants on and get weed eating before it gets to hot back there....BBL

Good Morning All glad to hear your boys got off all right I'm sure they will have a great time. Not much going on right now, going to be another hot one.

I'm going to cook that roast today, on the bbq will let you know how it goes. BBL Marion

This is the front of my store.

Hey Marion what a cute store you have....now whose idea was it to have that store??? Was it there already or did you and your DH build it?? Very nice, so you sell groceries and what not??

Well stay cool dear...and let us know how that roast turns out on the bbq....

I finished my backyard now I need to jump in the shower...it sure feels funny knowing DH is that far away....but it is 11:00 here right now and they are probably almost to 2 Harbors....our friend will be there to meet them....and DH will call me this evening....

BBL......

morning...

tests this morning for the kid.. so havent had much time other than to read yet today....

well up early, two miles, chores, and woohoo--- i have a new clothesline!  i love it. i missed having one.. this one is pretty cool too.... attaches to the side of the house and then folds back up against the house when not in use (it looks like one of those umbrella like types that you stick out in the ground)  anyhow, on my second load of laundry.. sure dries quicker than the dryer!!  supposed to be at least 27 or 28 degrees today... ugggg. that is just too hot to quickly for me!  i like the gradual break-in of hot temps..  not the 'slam... here ya go!  snow then 30degrees!!'

anyhow, the homeschool group i belong to has started baseball friday afternoons for the kids, so i am taking the chicklets for the first time... first time ever playing baseball this will be soo much fun~!!  but they'be been warned that if it gets too hot we are not staying... figured i would warn them first.. saves on tears later in front of everybody, making me look like the evil-est mean-est mama ever!! 

anyhow, i really have to run... i think i have to pick up a few things from the grocery store while i am in town, so best go make a list.. since i hate forgetting something, and wont go back for it!  no special trips in this house at these fuel prices let me tell you!!!

i have a new clothesline!  i love it.

Cookie I love you, I've never known anyone to get excited about a clothesline. LOL Now don't be a mean Mom let the kids play ball.

Oh Cookie you are such a hoot.....LOL you sound like me when it comes to getting excited over little or simple things....when we moved in here DH put up a clothes line in the garage..I have a front door and a back door and when they are bothe open my clothes get nice and dry really fast and I just loved having it in the garage, instead of standing in the hot sun...

And baseball??? Sounds like it will be good for you all to get out and have some fun....now tell me what your temp is in our language....28....that sounds pretty cold to me..LOL..so far it is getting pretty warm outside here..good thing I got my back yard done before it got to warm...

I hope all that arent here are having a good day today...

Jenni I miss you...hope your doing okay??

Pam my DH and I found this place on line 10 years ago, it was being run like a mini mart. We have got it now where alot of my people buy all thier things here, I have a full grocery store. Being on the river we get alot of tourist, beer,soda's, ice and snacks. Hunting season it's BEER.LOL

Good Afternoon SAHWs,

I was determined to get here today. to be honest I have felt like caw-caw the past week. I'm just praying that I feel better.

Pam-- Thanks for missing me!!! That makes me feel soooo good. I'm trying to ignore the pain and fatigue today. Your men are on such a neat trip! Hoping they are safe and have a dynamite of a time. I hope you enjoy your time alone too. Hugs GF!

Vicki -- Thank your DS for his bravery for me please. I do appreciate his valor! I need to bake something for DH today. He ate the last cupcake yesterday.

Marion -- You have a beautiful store. The kind one might see on Andy Griffith, which is one of my favorite shows.  I hope our travels bring us out your way. I would love to sit outside and sip lemonade or iced tea with you.

cookie -- If my calculations are correct it is around 83º F there. That is quite a change in weather. No Spring for you I guess. I admire you for home schooling your children. Not all public schools offer a good education these days. I didn't home school my son but he did attend Lutheran Schools. 

I slept til noon. I've been doing that a lot lately...sleeping late. I'm trying to get through the day without the Big Guns (strong pain pills) but I don't know if it's going to happen. I know this isn't a support group for those with chronic illnesses so I will not post about this anymore.

I hope you all have a fun and relaxing weekend.

Happy Victoria Day Weekend to my friends up North.

Hugs to all,

Jenni 

first, before i forget!  jenni, someone was looking for you over in crafters chat.. something about some yarn you won...   i forgot to post this morning, that you've been missing in action lately--- glad to see you get here today :)

okay, so you think being excited about a clothesline is funny... well then all y'll will be hooting and hollerin over this one....

our neighbor disked and harrowed his grain field next door, and up came this massive rock. and yesterday he came to pick it up and throw it in the ditch.. so i begged and pleaded and guess what??  I GOT THE MOST COOLEST BIGGEST ROCK EVER!!  okay, so i dont know what i'm going to do with it yet.. but man!! ya gotta admit.. it's soooooooo cool!!  i want somemore so i can make some sort of display, and if i can find an even bigger, humungus one, i would like to have our ranch name and brand etched on it  (if we could ever agree on a name that is!!  i think we (my husband and i) might have finally settled on one, so we just have to do a search, make sure its not in use, and then plan our brand (we have a family one, but would like one for us that ours)...    anyhow, where was i?? OH YEAH!!  THE BIG ROCK   WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!

oh and i forgot.. 28C is 82.4 in my little bookie thing... doesnt matter anyhow... point is -- last friday temps were no more than 30F and over a foot of snow.  this week... outrageous!!  i'm hot!!!!  is it too much to ask for some reasonable temps first to get used to this?????

c_oo_kie:

THE BIG ROCK   WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!

Oh Cookie you are priceless, but I have to admit. I like rocks too.LOL
