Happy Sunday!

Morning all! I haven't been around much lately......work has been wild this weekend.  We have really been busy, and that is a good thing.  It pays the bills, and thats what counts. Not much going on here, just a cool start to a beautiful day.  Of course, I have to be inside at work, so oh well. Have a great day! Gotta go!

What You do provides a service to people... People like me and my sister once a year who comes down to donate, to release a few inhabitions and just have a great time away from home for a day.. I for one appreciate your dedication to your job.... I even wish where I choose to work next has a gym as nice as the one you just got as a benifit!!Have a wonderful day!!!! Linda Kay

Good morning all...                    I spent yesterday doing 'busy' work here in the house...paid bills, went to the grocery, dried some stuff in my dehydrator. That kind of stuff. Anymore, I really like my jerky. The stuff I get from the store though is too moist for me so I dry it down some more and then it is yum-mo. If I don't really care for the flavor, I have a bag with marinade in it. I cut up the jerky in 1" pieces then soak it in the marinade overnight so it can re-moisten and take on 'my' flavor mix. The next day, I rinse it off and put in the dehydrator. I ordered some jerky's through Amazon that weren't just 'beef'. I've gotten in squid (Very interesting flavor!), Venison & Buffalo (both very good!), several different flavors of turkey (which...none were very good so it all went into my mix), and some dried cataloupe (flavor ok but VERY chewy!). I'm also drying down some more apples Gail...lol. This fall, I'm hoping to get to an orchard when they are in season and drying down a bunch of apples.                   I checked on Weather.com and the lowest low projected for the next month is 44..so I'm going to go ahead and plant my seedlings outside today. If I don't, they won't be alive this time next week. I am HORRIBLE when it comes to indoor plants. I just  don't have the sun-light in here that they need. I usually buy tomato plants instead of going with seeds..this year, I may need to do both if my seedlings don't perk up! LOL! If they do though, I am going to have tons of tomatoes! Hmmm...I could dehydrate them too! It's suppose to be 63 and sunny here today so the weather would be nice anyway..and it'd be good to be outside instead of cooped up in the house.              Some people have written me about my saying that 'peace' is my favorite word yesterday. I do appreciate all of your concern. Bill is betting that the first thing I do is run to my friends here and share all that has been happening since Friday night. Trust me girlfriends, there is nothing I'd like to do right now than pick up the phone and cry on your shoulders. I can't do that though. And please..don't call the house to see how I'm doing. That would just make matters worse right now. It will be much easier for me to talk on my cell phone from 6-4 M-F this week.  About once a year Bill put me through something similar to this. It use to be ~every 6 months so at least the time span has increased this time...but then again, maybe he couldn't bring himself to doing it right after I came home from a coma. He said he was waiting for me to be back to work...like that was a symbol that I should have been healthy enough to do anything & everything he thought I should have been doing all along. This time, he definately pushed the envelope VERY far. Too far? I don't know. That is why I have been trying to keep my hands busy so my brain can register all that he said..and how I feel about it. My heart tells me I should go and my brain reminds me I can't afford to do that...besides, I do love him..even with all he said, I do love him.  Right now, Bill & I just need your prayers. And if God chooses for me to stay, then please pray that I'll never have to go through this again. I don't know how many more rounds of this I can handle...and each round seems to get worst in regards to what comes out of his mouth. So please...just pray for us and for our situation...ok? I know, those of you who know us are going to be thinking 'but you guys seem so happy together'. Yeah, that's the hard part! We will be going along with everything going great..us getting along great..and then boom! Out of thin air will come all of this crap and I'm left wondering where in the hell that verbal mac truck was hiding at! I can't keep doing through this.                                 Well..time to get my jeans on and get some dirt under my nails!            love you all.....Sherri

Sherri, you & Bill are in my prayers,   and I sending a really big hug to you,    Love you.  those "mac trucks" can really hurt    Gail.

Sherri, my prayers are with you. I know most of the time those verbal Mac trucks come at you worse than a real one~I know this for a fact. My love and prayers are with you that you find peace and answers. My love and big hugs are with you.

Sherri my thoughts and prayers are here for you and Bill.  We all go through hard times. Don't be afraid to ask for help.  You don't deserve to be verbally abused for what ever reason.  

Good Morning All, I plan on getting some walking in today, I didn't really walk as much yesterday as I wanted. I went to dinner last night with Phil (my man friend ) it wonderful to see Phil trying so hard to be OK but he still has away to go. He insisted on opening car door for me like always but I could see it was hard for him. I am proud of Phil and his positive "actions" as he calls them. I  hope to get some walking in today and I need to get cards for Mother's Day. But thats all I have planned. I go see Dr Huse tomorrow @ 3, and go to the Bariatric Center first. I think its time to get some protein in. Love to all. And you know I send HEALTHY wishes to those in need. Hugs & Blessings, Gail LaCelle and Linda, I need to visit a    ,I have never been. LOL Sherri when did you pop in ?? Call me later. AND YES I LOVE THOSE APPLES   

Since I'm a people watcher I think your job could be mighty entertaining.  The smoke would be hard for me to take but I guess you'd get used to it.  We will be visiting there with our "donations" around Labor day weekend.  We have camp ground reservations at Spring Mill then and I plan to drag my DH there.   We are winding up our maiden voyage in our new RV right now.  We are in Brown County at the Last resort RV park.  Looks like it used to be a KOA.  It's a 5 on a scale of 1-10 for me so far.  It has the extra's I like (free Wi fi and Cable TV)  But the sites are a little to close.  Our tip out almost touches the tip out of the RV next to us. The drive is all gravel and only the pull thru sites have a patio.  When we got here it was pouring down rain and they had put us in a backin site that was solid mud.  We went back and asked for a pull thru and got the last one. It is on the end so you hear more trafic but it s better than mud. I've been having fun checking out all systems in the RV and cooking.  My DH thinks I'm nuts.  He wants to eat out.  I love my new RV, I know it is not as big as some of you are used to but I think it is a perfect fit for Tim and I.   I'll put in a few pics on my profile as soon as my battery re charges.

Good Sunday Morning Indiana..... I am coming to you from Sanford North Carolina.  I flew in on Friday morning to spend five days with my Brother and family.  Things have always been a little different between my brother and I.  You know the big bro, little sis stuff.  And he has always been fit and thin....and I have always been a chunky monkey.  Well he picked me up at the Airport, and told me I looked good.   Have spent most of the last two days with my nieces and nephew......spent time on the boat yesterday.....bought me a new Vera Bradley purse at the BX....20% off retail and no tax....that way I even got the checkbook cover and wallet, for what I would have paid for the purse back home. Been doing very well with my food choices while here.  And staying on top of my fluids.......have to do that all important big weigh in when I get home for my 1 year mark.......I want to reach my goal before I see Dr. C on the 16th.   I am sitting her sipping on my protein and watching my brothers cat look at nature right out their back lot.....they live on a lake.......BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!  Deer come right up to the back deck..... I am sending hopes and prayers for everyone that needs them right now.  I believe we all are in need of silent prayers for some reason or another. I will talk soon......but am keeping tabs on all who post!!!!!! Love and Hugs, Holly

Good morning to all my dear friends. I hope that you have a great day.  I am leaving for church in a bit. I have to get my girlfriend since her car is in the shop. Her and I are ushers today. I like doing that mostly since this is the only Sunday I have to do it.  I have to go to the funeral home this afternoon because one of my friends mother's passed away the other day. She was 92 and had been sick for a bit.  Today is sunny but cool. I like the sun but would rather have it a bit warmer. I would think that by now it would be warmer but I guess that is what I get for thinking.  I better get going. I have a couple of things to do before I leave for church. I hope that everyone has a wonderful and blessed day today. My prayers are with everyone and special ones for those in need weather it be physical or emotional. I am sending love and hugs to all.
