TGIF everyone!!

I haven't been around a whole lot lately. Taking eight days off from work is great but catching up is a lot of work. LOL

It's been a very busy month for me and with school and football season starting here in a few weeks it's not going to slow down anytime soon.

I spent last weekend up at the lake so I'm staying in town and prepping for a big party I'm hosting for my nephew in a couple of weeks. He is leaving for boot camp (Marines) in a couple of weeks and we are giving him a big send off. It will be fun and a little sad all at the same time. I've got to get all the extra chairs and tables cleaned up. They have been in the shed since I moved last November. I'll be working on a plan for food, drinks, and entertainment for the day.....that and the normal chores for the weekend.

The dog days of summer are here so I'll raise a cold one to y'all around six....I'll be in the pool!! What's everyone else up to this weekend??

Have a great weekend!!

Hello and TGIF to you all!!!

David, I'll meet you in the pool! We've been spending a lot of time in ours too, the water finally got warm enough!

No big plans this weekend, just being lazy and hanging out at home.

There's a new burger joint that opened up near us that I'd like to try tomorrow night but that's really about it!

Hope you all have a terrific weekend!

TGIF!

Shaun and David I hope you enjoy your pool time.

No plans for tonight. Sat. we are attending a benefit concert for Luke Menard of American Idol fame. His medical bills are astronomical and he has many more treatments to go through yet.

Sunday we go to pick up 92 y/o DML and bring her back to our home for the week. A long 8 hour drive total. DH can't go back to work for another week, so she is spending that week over here with us.

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Jcrowley, I can't imagine who thought 2 am was a wise time to end a high school party either! Jeepers, right when the sleepy drunks are hitting the roads! There's a local talk radio team around here I like, and one of the guys (who was apparently quite the party dude in his time) says every so often, that "nothing good happens after midnight". Around here (CA Central Valley), we are battening down the hatches for a storm that is meant to be coming our way. 50 mph winds, supposedly. Our back yard will be a lake again...the hardpan is so high that any hard rain saturates the thin layer of soil quite quickly, much to the displeasure of our resident felines, who, upon demanding we open the door to let them out will survey the liquid environs and eye us with displeasure, sure that they are that we could arrange the weather to their liking if we were really interested in their welfare. My husband is off tomorrow afternoon to sing with his Barbershop Quartet, which means I'll have all afternoon and evening to deal with the pile of Meyer lemons given me by a client (Lemon Curd, Lemon Marmalade, frozen lemon juice and peel...and, my husband may just come home to a nice loaf of lemon bread, saturated with lemon syrup.) I was really wanting to get out into the yard this weekend, but it seems that is not to be, so I will console myself with cooking! Enjoy, all! :D

TGIF here too. Elery is on his way up for the weekend and he's bringing supper, that's a good thing. Tomorrow we're going out to visit my mother and I'm taking Amanda and the kids with me. Check up on the "old people", aka Dad and Stepmom, and do the regular chores then because Elery wants to go to church on Sunday. He wants to meet my pastor, he's shopping for someone to marry us, LOL. I keep telling him not to rush me.... Lori, no one notices those 10 hour days I put in either, but they sure sit up and mention it when I'm half an hour late because I have a dentist appointment or something, sheesh. They don't manage to add up those late days either, to find out that I worked 60 hours and got paid for 40, they just notice that half an hour. And have I mentioned that I just hate the media anyway? chase, I hope that septic problem is quick and cheap, this time of year, with all that snow, it's going to be a PIA, plus stinky. Ick. Terri, no Trader Joe's? Well, OK, I guess a new couch should make up for it. Michelle, we had 14 inches of snow here too, some is going to have to melt before we have room for any more! The rivers are already high here, it's so cold that the water doesn't soak into the frozen ground and we've already had flood warnings. In February! Yes, if we get a thaw, it'll be exciting all right. duane, I'm glad business is good. I think. (grin) Fish and chips do sound good, though. Annie

WTG Brendan! Lori, is that the good news in his future you alluded to in Support #7 or is there something more? Lyra, it has been so hot here (Ellen how did everyone get through graduation!!!) that we still had the A/C on at 9:30 at night. More today and tomorrow. Yesterday I took DS #1 to the DMV to take his written provisional driver license test. He passed, dang. California requires six hours profe$$ional driver training, and that starts next Saturday! Clear the roads! Tonight I go to my High School 30th reiunion. I have't even been to one of them. I contacted someone I used to be freinds with and we're looking forward to hooking up again. I'm leaving DH at home - why do people take spouses, they will only be bored! I'm going with a synagogue member - someone connected the dots for us. We never knew each other in high school, but interact a lot now. Small world. Tomorrow I dump DS #2 off at computer camp. Heh heh. Buh-bye! Trying to stay cool. It will be record breaking HOT here this weekend, so hot I didn't make a challah yesterday, I didn't want to turn on the oven. Yikes! Clink with iced tea!

TGIF y'all! Welcome to the newbies and my old friends. Happy Thanksgiving to those up north! Houseguests were last weekend and it was wonderful! They were fabulous and helpful guests, we had a blast! It was good to have the house full again! Tomorrow I've got a chiro session scheduled, a haircut and then the wedding of a co-worker. It should be a nice event. Sunday we're taking MIL out to brunch and then marketing. She's the one who lost her license in August and has gotten a learner's permit (at 90!) to try and retake the test after driving lessons. She's a sharp cookie, she might just be able to do it. If not, we'll have to consider the alternative sources of transportation. The taxi coupons are a joke, everything around here is a $25+ plus fare--one way!! Sunday later afternoon and eve we've got plans with friends and hopefully an activity. We'll see... Happy Birthday Susie! Nancy, I'd love to be in Traverse City this weekend for the festival! Have fun! Maggie- good luck on the sale! Stacy- thanks for reposting the garage sale info, that's good to know! Seagrass- welcome back!!! Crafty/Diane-- where have you been? Enjoying the summer? Glad to see you back here! Annie- enjoy the munchkins, how did the auction go? I hope Amanda feels better quickly! Sharon/chase...who's jason? Sharon/cb--enjoy your paradise! Theresa- photos please to share your beautiful work with us! Pat- enjoy your company! Lorri- cauliflower pasta? Recipe please! velodoug, duane, michael, and anyone else that I missed, take it easy and have a good one!

Another friday! Whew...time flies when you are having fun. Another nice weekend here. Tomatoes are just starting to come in and the sweet corn is in so I grabbed a dozen ears and want to try taking some off the cob and blanching and freezing. Never done it before, but I bought the tool to do that several years ago and it's still in the package.

Only 3 dogs here this weekend and just a few misc in-home visits. Should be kind of laid back. I'm reading some good books and spending my down-time in the backyard. Cold beverage and a book. My kinda free time. With this weather I haven't spent a single moment with my big screen t.v. and surround sound package I bought last year. Plenty of time for that in the winter.

Hope everyone has a super weekend and I might crack open a hard ice-tea in about an hour!

Enjoy that pool David! You too Shaun. I do need to get a tan on my legs - I have "farmer's tan" right now - arms only!

Tonight is a ping pong lesson. I'm doing a pilates class in the morning, then grocery shopping and errands. Maybe some pool time in the afternoon. Oh, both our cars need washing too.

Sunday is ping-pong then I'm grilling baby back ribs for some friends.

Clink to everyone!

Clink to everyone from me too! Mine is just cold bubbly water for the moment.

I could join you in your pools Shaun and David. Weather is warm and humid here and I have a busy weekend beginning to get the house ready before going on holidays. We have a house guest arriving soon and I have to clear out the past months' collection of stuff that has accumulated in his guest room. So I'll start getting clothes ready for the trip and will be buying a few small gifts.

Must make a tour around the garden and check out some cuttings of pink brugmansia that I planted.
They seem to have all taken root and are sprouting leaves.

Happy Weekend!

Oh how nice that would be, a pool party at David's...I'm in!

Great start to my weekend. Janet and Chance were here for the day! We "did" downtown Oakville, stopped at the ice cream shop for Chance and Whole Foods for Janet and I. Back here for a sprinkle run for Chance ( no pool!) and a glass of wine for the big kids.

Had dinner and some more chat but they had to get away early to drive back into Toronto. We had a really nice visit, really nice.

Tomorrow is my niece's bridal shower, then directly up to the cottage for a few days. Back down on Wednesday becasue Meredith is due home. Then back up on Thursday for a week or so.

David it must be so hard to see your nephew go off to boot camp. My best thoughts and prayers go with him. Hopefully this darn war will soon end.
