Memorial Day Roll Call

I want to first and foremost thank all the wonderful men and women that have ever served in the armed forces for this country. They stepped up to the plate to guard the God given freedom that we have in this country and for us to continue to enjoy it for now and the future. We also remember the ones that gave their lives to guard that freedom and we celebrate the ones that were able to return home.   Well, that little guy in the subject line was able to utilize his shades yesterday here in my area and should also be able to today.  I know I had mine on when I went for a bike ride. I was very crafty - I rode over to a greenhouse about 2 miles away, got about $20 worth of flowers in my two baskets and rode home without even loosing a flower pedal. With the price of gas if we can avoid driving somewhere we do. I am so super glad that I live so close to work and ride my bike most of the days of the week.  Hope you have a great day and get a lot of things done that you were planning on doing or just lounge around enjoying the fellowship of your family and friends.

Happy Memorial Day Christine!    Well, it is raining here again today.  The weatherman has it predicted for us all week...yuck!  I have the pool opened and ready, but if it keeps this up, not sure when we can use it.  Guess I should have had it opened 2 weeks ago when it was almost 90... Hope you have a great day, and a wonderful week. Dee

Going to take my daughter to see priates today and then try to get the house work caught up.  Went to a cook out yesturday.  My friend had kindly bought sugar free jello knowing that I was on my liquid diet.  3rd day today of the liquid diet. Hard not to walk past food or make my daughter something to eat without having a bite myself. But I'm bound and determined to do this thing right, even if it means I'm having to go potty every 5 mins from all the liquids I'm drinking. LOL  Hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day. Shelley

Hi There, I am still packing and pitching things out. This move to Florida is getting on my last nerve. I have to much junky juhk in my house. I am cured of junk!!!!!!! Today it is nice out and my friend and I took some time out to go to Walmart, Sams Club, Rite Aide, Kohls, Ulta, and Old Navy. I didnt buy a stupid thing!!!!!! That is a new one for me. I did get Starbucks though. I cant live without it. Tomorrow I am taking a load of junk to the dump or land fill. and comming back and reloading again. Anyone interested in size 6 winter clothes let me know. Carla Klein I am willing to ship. and give away.

Hi Chris - It's good to be home!  It was nice to get away but it's always good to be back home.  Hope you were able to enjoy the festivities your City put on this Memorial weekend. I'm just hanging low and enjoy a little R&R.  Calvin has to work tonight so I'm just puttsing around.  I was so excited when we got home today because we are starting to sprout baby grass all over the front.  YYYIIIPPPEEE!!!  Of course, some of it may get torn out because Thursday evening we had high winds and my Magnolia tree in the front yard snapped right down the middle.  I was so crushed.  It was a beautiful tree and it had to come down on Friday.  They will be back this week to remove the stump.  Then I went out back today and part of one of my lilac trees/bush has been split.  I think we can salvage part of it.  So, I will be shopping for a replacement tree tomorrow for the front yard.  I don't go back to wor****il Wednesday. God Bless our Troops! Christina

I spent most of my memorial day at work, then went to the gym for about an hour nad a half, then a sandwich for dinner and just hung out w/ DH and watched a new show on TLC called big medicine that follows gastric bypass patients through their journey.
