Only going to 85 today in beautiful, downtown Melbourne. Then some musical thunder and the things that go with it. I'm just watching for the big, brown truck to arrive. Already had a swim and a steam bath. At the moment I'm enjoying a cup of grits. Coffee will be next.

Have a great day. Hugs.

Morning, everyone.

Divinity, why is your daughter driving you crazy? I hope I don't do that to my mom before my wedding next year!

Its my fiance's fault I'm so tired. He's a teacher, off school for the summer, and still hasn't learned that my daily schedule hasn't changed even though his did. We were up until midnight doing stuff around the house, but he gets to sleep in while I get to come to work. I'm exhausted, and its only the first week he's been around! Grrr!

Sigh, Got home from Kansas at 9:00pm last night, it was 98° there. Came back to MI to a cool 78° but it's hiking up to 95° today.

Hey, I found some mid-western hotel coupon book. Michigan was not included as mid-western. Ohio and Wisconsin were. Who do we belong to if not the midwest? Birch says we make up our own region called great lakes or something? Anyone?

Well today is the grand opening of our new building at work. Gov. Jeb is supposed to be here so now we have disinterested security guards and painfully obvious "undercover" state police wandering around bugging people to see their badges. Gimme a break, I can't get in the building without getting my retina scaned and they are worried about badges?

Hopefully I can get out of here before the circus really begins.

Good Luck Pathman...did ya get the shopping done for your boys????

I took my 19 yr old shopping the other morning...we got everything we needed but a shirt...wooohooo...

...yes......less than a week until my daughters wedding...everyone arrives Thursday....and then I am going to expect total chaos, so I will not be surprized by anything!!!

...busy week for my oldest daughter...her and her hubby are in Chicago for a convention... ( Ray Bradbury speaking...wooohooo) they fly to Columbus Ohio Thursday, pick up their rental car and head for Alabama...so...I expect cranky kids.....

Y'all have a GREAT day..I have to go look for jewelry for the wedding.....something amethyst (sp) will do nicely!!

This is my second daughters wedding.......my oldest daughter graduated from college 10 am and got married at 7pm...same day...we figured it would be better for all the Family coming from Ohio to do it all at once......the bride and groom were late for the wedding tho...they had misplaced their keys.....otherwise things went smoothly...

NOW on the other hand , my daughter getting married this Saturday( the EVIL one) is a drama queen....and it will be interesting to watch if something goes wrong....( I hope not)....her wedding is out side...LOL...THAT may be interesting......if rain is involved..and at 3pm it is VERY hot in Alabama.....we will see how the Yankees attending fare.....I am praying for a cool, clear day!!

I seriously hope my parents aren't worried that I'll turn into a Bridezilla. I'm trying to keep my feet on the ground with the wedding stuff. So far we've saved almost $1000 on our budget. HOpe that trend continues!


Great news over the weekend! I sold my condo! That's one thing off my to-do list for the next couple of months. Now all I have to do is move out! LOL!

Wedding Smedding! No Problem Man
Wedding Smedding!

My wife and I announced we were getting married on a Monday and we got married on Thursday. Our friends sang and played piano, a friend took great photos, everybody brought a dish, my wife borrowed a dress, I wore my Army Dress Blues, the church was full over 200 people in attendance, the place was full of flowers and candles, everybody had a great time. That was 1990 and we are still going strong. I'm so glad we did it that way. The only thing missing was a honeymoon, not that we had the money for one anyway. I had recently gotten a nasty set of orders from GHW Bush. Uncle Sam had me in formation the next morning. It was the start of Gulf War I and I was sent off to Oklahoma for training. My new bride and I hardly saw each other the first year.

Sass, yes, it sold in 6 weeks. I had a bidding war on it, and I got $100 over my asking price! Unheard of in this market!

Unfortuatly, it looks like the association is about to slap a special assessment on us, and according to the purchase agreement, I get to pay it. Ug.

Good morning all! This is the end of my work week which is a good thing. With a 4 day weekend looming (even if it is choked with home projects) I don't think there is much that can get me down today. Of course none of my crew is here yet and I haven't full awakened. Maybe I'll get a chance to gulp down a steaming cup of Columbian before it all starts. Good luck to all those with the wedding plans!
