I hope everyone had a great weekend. I wound up doing lots of yard work. Last night was the first time I've been able to park in the garage since we moved. Yeah.” 4:13:40 AM 11/19/07 Hugs. “Good morning. Going to be a busy day for me. Have a great week.” 4:48:48 AM 11/19/07 “Goood Morning! Mata, you and your mom have been in my prayers since you first posted about her cancer. I hope all goes well and she sails through chemo. Not much doing today. I can walk w/out the crutches again (sorta). Think I'll be doing alittle more day by day. It's getting better every day. =) I am so thankful. You guys have a great week!” 4:54:07 AM 11/19/07 “Ya know? Sleeping on thermarests in the dirt is much more comfortable than sleeping on thermarests on a floor.... I've got circles under my eyes this morning. Terrible night's sleep. Watched nearly my entire tangible life as I know it walk out the door yesterday. All in preperation to move to CO. Who knew that starting completely over would be so stressful? Morning everyone. Hope ya'll have a fantastic day. Only 3 days of work at this hell hole left for me!!! :D” 5:13:31 AM 11/19/07 “get up! No you can`t make me !! Wait I am up,oh rats never mind.....” 5:16:26 AM 11/19/07 “What a great weekend!!! The first one I have truly had in Months to rest. Back at it today...gotta go play with an Architect today....” 5:17:10 AM 11/19/07 “Morning. I caught Evie's cold, and am feeling slightly miserable. Oh well, this too shall pass. Starting the preparations for Turkey Day. I"m in for the stuffing once more. There's nothing like mom's sausage and sage dressing. YUM! I also have to bake something for G's family gathering on Saturday. Supposed to rain here later. Cold and rainy, fall is here.” 5:33:48 AM 11/19/07 “coffees almost done....there is hope.......” 5:58:48 AM 11/19/07 “mornin'... I am so looking forward to 4 days off...” 6:16:35 AM 11/19/07 MsDoolittle “embrace the spartan existence just think how good you'll sleep that first night out on the trail now. Hey, it's like Wednesday already isn't it? Good morning everyone” 7:31:00 AM 11/19/07 “I agree with the sleeping on the ground vs. floor assessment, MsD. I'm dreading going to Florida. We're leaving tomorrow evening; I pick HPM up directly from work. Bleah.” 7:50:35 AM 11/19/07 “Ugh...... More to come when I'm a bit more awake...” 3:48:29 AM 11/20/07 “I'm here....” 4:16:28 AM 11/20/07 “Good Morning Dave...........” 4:30:37 AM 11/20/07 “Whose dave” 4:37:56 AM 11/20/07 “Good Morning. Safe travels Treebait, or maybe a convenient temporary car malfunction just four miles from home that will unfortunately veto your trip? ;)” 4:39:08 AM 11/20/07 “2001, A Space Odyssey......uh, a movie..... The HAL 2000 computer was a bit cranky in that one.....” 4:43:58 AM 11/20/07 Dave? “Dave's not here!” 4:48:12 AM 11/20/07 “Where's Dave?” 5:37:51 AM 11/20/07 “I gotta ya. I've had coffee now and a gingerbread bagel so I'm happier now.” 5:40:16 AM 11/20/07 “:( I got no bagel...........” 5:42:26 AM 11/20/07 “Morning. I got nothin' to say!” 5:54:50 AM 11/20/07 “Mmmm, a gingerbread bagel sounds good. I'm having Harney and Sons holiday blend tea, while waiting for the oatmeal to cook. Yes, its the real kind not the instant. I have most of the stuff needed for the trip packed, then I get to clean the house some more. THe one thing I hate about ongoing outdoor projects is all of the red mud that gets tracked all through the house no matter what I do. Grrr.... Laurel also lost a pair of shoes somewhere between dinner last night and getting ready for school this morning. All 3 of us tore the house apart trying to find the damn things to no avail. Double grrr.” 5:55:32 AM 11/20/07 “Did you look on the stuffed animals?” 5:56:59 AM 11/20/07 “Oh yeah. Laurel's room in particular got torn apart, so I get to clean all that up now. She really has no idea where they are. I know they came home from the restaurant but that's it.” 5:58:35 AM 11/20/07 “Mornin' I hope your Mom had a nice Birthday, Mata. I'm sure she was happy you were with her. :-)” 6:00:04 AM 11/20/07 “mornin' My water heater crapped out last week, and I finally got it replaced yesterday. I couldn't believe how much plumbers wanted, so considered doing it myself...then a friend said she'd do it for $50, so now we have hot water again. yay! Best of all, she's going to tackle some other projects I just haven't had time to do...” 6:09:56 AM 11/20/07 “Check the car, under the seats? It never ceases to amaze me how they can lose something like the shoes they had on their feet five minutes ago. Children are truly wonders.” 6:11:45 AM 11/20/07 “Cold showers in Maine? *shudder*” 6:12:48 AM 11/20/07 “LOL...no Stovie, my lobster pot served double duty as my water heater, and I took hot showers (think camping...) :)” 6:29:52 AM 11/20/07 Hugs. “Good morning. The shoe is in the bed, under the covers. Have a great day.” 9:37:01 AM 11/20/07 “Don't forget the meds this morning.” 9:41:31 AM 11/20/07 “Open the pod bay door, HAL ----” 10:04:47 AM 11/20/07 “I found Laurel's shoes. In my room, under a bench under the window, up against the base board where I couldn't see them unless I was on my knees at the front of the bench. Sheesh.” 10:14:12 AM 11/20/07 “I used to go crazy chasing the kid's (and my) stuff in the morning... We have this shallow tub we call "the pig." We all throw our stuff in it when we get home. With school backpacks, my work bag and pocketbook, school uniforms, dance bags, karate bags, lunch bags, cub scout stuff, I can spend the whole evening just getting us ready for the next day - this makes it sooooo much easier. Kind of corrals the mess...LOL” 11:02:23 AM 11/20/07 “WOW am I the first??? Happy Friday on Wednesday!!! Yippie!!! Hope every one has a good day...time to go get ready to conquer the world!” 4:12:03 AM 11/21/07 Wow am I the first? “Exactly the words every teen age boy hopes to utter, ha ha.” 4:39:22 AM 11/21/07 “Good morning, good thoughts on the way for your mom Matahari. I'm getting ready to go backpacking this weekend. The weather is looking good and I'm trying to decide which sleeping bag to bring. I'm thinking about testing a bag I've added 3 ounces of 800 fill power down to that I haven't had a chance to try yet. A part broke on my blender this morning, but I think I can fix it and get it running again. I think I'll need to buy a better one soon though. last edited: 11/21/07 5:11:05 AM” 5:07:59 AM 11/21/07 “Oh good, something else to look forward to! Keeping track of Evie's stuff, in addition to G's crap! LOL! Have to make the stuffing this afternoon for the turkey. I have no idea what time the turkey is going in the oven tomorrow at my brother's house, though. I guess at this point I'll get there with the stuffing when I darn well feel like it. Gonna head up to school today at lunch, too. If I help them count money from the Toys for Tots penny drive I get free pasta pizza. Mmmmm. Have a good day, and a Happy Thanksgiving!” 5:14:51 AM 11/21/07 “Morning all...” 5:17:22 AM 11/21/07 “Mornin' Mr. Puddles! LOL!” 5:21:49 AM 11/21/07 Good Morning and Goodbye “Going down to Austin for T'day to see the folks, inlaws, outlaws, lots to eat and some backwoods reclining. My son wants to go shooting so I'll pack the 9 and plenty of bb's........ Have a great Thanksgiving y'all...and don't forget to give Thanks to God for all you have...” 5:23:24 AM 11/21/07 “Good morning! Lots to do today. Have to pack for that wedding, go to Target, the library, the pet store and work three hours. Still having a hard time putting my foot flat on the floor. Working will be interesting. Oh well. I'm still tickled pink I don't need the crutchs anymore! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving you all. I'm thankful for this crazy interweb family. Here we are, spread across two or three countries, countless miles and yet we still tell each other good morning almost every day and keep up with what's going on in each other's lives. You all are special(ed). Kidding, you really are special.” 5:43:52 AM 11/21/07 Hugs. “Good morning. FIRE There is one less trailer in the area. I was just leaving my trailer, where I had been watching TV. I heard three blasts, like that from a shotgun or high powered rifle. Several short blocks from my place a trailer was burning. Police and fire departments were there almost immediatly. The man, who lived there, had been able to get out. I watched for a while and then went home to my daughter's place. This morning as I drove in to the Resource Cafe, I glanced between two trailers and saw the the fire had completely destroyed the one trailer and a car, that is, except for bits of metal hanging together. I recalled that a similar fire a few years ago, had killed a woman. She died in her bed, probably overcome by the smoke. Life can be rough. Happy Thanksgiving. 5:58:28 AM 11/21/07 “NS...glad you are ok...is sad when someone looses their home but is sadder at the holidays. Rich..have fun!!! :-) Glad you are going. Morning Paddles..Sass..Happy..Smiley...Sneezy...Grumpy......!!!” 6:28:27 AM 11/21/07 “Thanks, I'm looking forward to going hiking and on my home turf too. It's only an 18 mile ride from here.” 6:38:48 AM 11/21/07 Hugs. “ 2:40:23 AM 11/22/07 “Wake up, Turkeys! Time to get cookin'!” 4:19:45 AM 11/22/07 “   Cloudy The sky is grey and white and cloudy Sometimes I think it's hanging down on me It's hitch-hike a hundred miles I'm a rag-a-muffin child Pointed finger, painted smile I left my shadow waiting down the road for me a while Cloudy My thoughts are scattered and they're cloudy They have no borders, no boundaries They echo and they swell From Tolstoy to Tinkerbell Down from Berkeley to Carmel Got some pictures in my pocket and a lot of time to kill Hey, Sunshine I haven't seen you in a long time Why don't you show your face and bend my mind These clouds stick to the sky Like a floating question, why And they linger there to die They don't know where they're going, and my friend, neither do I Cloudy… Cloudy… Cloudy… Cloudy… "Cloudy" Paul Simon Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme (1966) Simon and Garfunkel ” 5:02:06 AM 11/22/07 Jump to Page << prev
