Good afternoon. Don't know if you saw the photo on Facebook but Chris came home with a 12 week old Husky puppy. This thing is a ball of energy. You know that old adage, "When she is good, she is very very good, but when she is bad, she is horrible. That's about right on the money. LOL Poor Misty has gotten bitten enough that now she runs and hides when Dakota is nearby.

Lizzy I am so glad to hear that things are coming together. Jim had an issue the other day with the warranty on his car. The car had a problem but the warranty wouldn't cover it. It was something that American car manufacturers cover but not Audi. So when I walked into the showroom to pick him up and he was arguing with the guy, he introduced me as his wife, "the social media expert." A couple days later, Jon and I went to pick up the car and he said to me. "We don't like bad publicity, there will be no charge on your car." I cracked up. It does work so keep it in your back pocket.

Laurie good luck with job hunting. Glad to hear the showing went well.

Pat have you got your garden planted yet? I am having deer problems. They like tomato plants. Don't you just love the puzzle books. I think that is why I am liking this social media thing. It's a big puzzle trying to figure out what works and what doesn't

Rhonda I love the card. I will be borrowing your idea.

Paula and Nancy what is happening?

Well I have some work to do and a puppy to take outside. We'll need to electric fence train her.

Hello ladies!

Rhonda, I was glad to see you posted. I was wondering about you with those storms hitting KS. I am glad it missed you and your brother too!
Crazy weather. We had rain roll through here during the night.

Well, I am dragging. I spent Sun. in bed with a migraine. Yesterday I felt weak but had to clean a house then helped work on grad. pic. again at a friends. Today is monster house and my other big one. Vonda and I will do them together. Nothing for tonight. :)

Oh, Katie is in Haiti on a mission trip.

Gotta run, not dressed yet and Vonda will be her in 15 minutes. ugh...

Good morning ladies!

Sure is quiet around here.

We got some rain during the night.

Laurie, what are you working on these days? It looks like you had a nice trip to MI.

Pat, did you get to talk to your sister?
I see you have all occasion cards on CFS and the date is June 8th. Does that mean they need to be to you by then? We are spending next week at the cottage and I thought if I got set up, I could work on some there.

Rhonda, how is work going? Are things getting a bit smoother?

Carrie, how is life with that puppy??

Nancy, what is going on with you?

Today I will go to Kelly's after I clean. We will be working on pics for her son's graduation party. (I think Lizzy, Laurie and Carrie met her at a crop we had ... Indy maybe??) Dinner is in the crock pot. Beef tips...will just need to make noodles later.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Good afternoon!

Pat I hope your day is more productive for you. I think I always wish I were more productive. I hope your mom is doing well. I don't remember if you mentioned it or not, but did the steroid shot help your mom?

Paula you are always off helping someone. I am not looking forward to another graduation. At least a lot of the decor stuff is done. I just need to change it a bit for Carter.

Rhonda I am glad you are OK. It is devastating the loss that KS suffered. You did have a busy Saturday but it sounded lovely! I hope work is treating you well this week.

Carrie poor Misty. I imagine Dakota is just playing....at least I hope so. That is funny about the car. You didn't even have to post the bad service and you got what you wanted!

Laurie that is good that the showing went well. Have you had an open house yet? Your weekend sounded wonderful. I imagine it was nice to have a break from the house.

Lizzy I am glad Terminix finally got ahold of you. I think that is a great idea moving the the kids so they can interact more while they work on their projects. I imagine it will be nice for them after all the testing and needing to be quiet.

My weekend was another busy one with errands. I ended up running errands on Sunday too. My plan was to stay home but I decided to weigh in and Rick came with and he had a couple of things to do. Oh well.

We looked at a camper last night but decided it wasn't for us. We should wait but it was priced well so we decided to look.

Today I was up earlier than normal but I got a lot accomplished. I made a penny slider card, got the turkey off the bone and back in the crockpot for turkey sandwiches tonight, did 2 loads of laundry instead of one and got the leftover ham off the bone and into the freezer. I need to try to keep busy at rest time too so I can get everything done before we go up north for the long weekend. We do have to leave early on Monday though to go to my niece's birthday party. We will work on the dock and I also plan to do a lot of reading. I haven't done that in a long time!

Well the kids have settled down to I am off to get a bite to eat and keep working!!

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning! Feels like afternoon. Berkley got up at 5:30 so of course someone needs to get up with him. Then Misty got up since I was up and that set off puppy. And she must have had a fly bothering her. She was running as fast as she could around and around and dive bombing poor Berkley. He can't figure out where this thing came from. She is now happily chewing on a bully stick and Chris doesn't know it yet but he'll be going to the store for more today. Keeping his mother's sanity is a very good thing. LOL

Jen brought her dog, Merry, over last night who loves it here. She has lots of room to run and wants to go out back every time she comes. Merry plays with the puppy pretty well but she is so big that she doesn't know her own strength and hurts little Dakota.

Rhonda I don't know how you live there dodging tornadoes every spring. But then I guess we all have things we dodge where we live. Stay safe!

Pat how is your mom doing? Dont' worry about being productive everyday. Sometimes you just need to recharge your batteries.

Nancy enjoy your weekend up north. We are planning to take the boat out on Sunday. You did accomplish a lot yesterday.

Well I have to run. I have started and stopped this several times as Dakota keeps bringing me things from the laundry room. She even finds things under the couch and chairs and behind doors. Ugh!

good morning.. windy and wet following a line of storms last night. I managed to get a walk in yesterday, but Jim had to skip his. I am hoping I can get out in a while, but not looking too promising. Might have to be happy with a bike ride and maybe some Zumba moving.

I have not talked to my sister/mom this week. Today they should be driving down to my sister's house if all went well at the follow up appt yesterday. I am confident that if things were not going well, I would have heard from them.

Carrie, you have lots going on with all those pooches. How is Berkley doing otherwise? Not sure what bully sticks are, but they sound like a good thing.
I try to regroup everyday and move past things that just don't get done. I do need to keep pushing myself though with the purging/tossing. And staying on top of the yard work.

Rhonda, we are having a quiet weekend here. Plan is to attend youngest dgs's baseball game tomorrow, do what we can in the yard, and anything else we can do around here. That will be fun if you can get Cody and Drew to join you and Amber. I am glad that the job is working out better.

Paula, you always seem to have a lot going on at once. Hope everything goes well at the cottage. I have trouble with one house. Great score on the carts. I am not investing in any, even if they are giving them away. I barely utilize the ones I have.

Well,I need to get off the computer and put a load in the washer. Then I will probably ride the bike.

hello Friends!

I hope you all are working on having an awesome holiday weekend. I am heading up to my sister's in Ft Wayne for a BBQ tomorrow. I doubt I'll spend the night because I'll have Sadie and the stairs are very steep there. I sleep in a room upstairs and then we all hang out in the basement. I'm not sure with her hip if she'll handle them. And she follows me everywher I go when we are at someone else's house. She would follow me up and down those stairs. And it's not like in MI where my other Sister lives in the boonies and have a huge yard where I don't have to worry about her. Kris lives in a subdivision with trees and a creek behind her...and hundreds of squirrels. Sadie would be chasing them all over. So anyway, we will just go for the day. I'm going because my Niece from DC will be there. I haven't seen her since we switched cars and I really miss her.

What's everyone's plans this weekend? I know Paula and Nancy are traveling north. I guess I am too LOL

Pat, I am really enjoying your flowers on FB. They are just gorgeous! I don't have a green thumb at all.

The job hunt goes on. I don't want to travel too far. No more showings set up. My alergies are killing me and I have a sty on my eye, which doesn't help with my runny eyes from the allergies.

that's all for now. I think I a going to take a nap. I'e not been sleeping because of pain in my feet at night. I think it might be that my 2 broken toes never healed right and I've got some arthritis. The only thing that works is a combo of ibuprophen and Aleve. I took a lot last night because it just hurt so bad. I just hope it doesn't upset my stomache. I am taking them with milk. Calling Dr on Tues. Need to make sure it's not neuropathy or that the bones are still broken. If they are, I'm going with the walking boot cast. I think that little boot I work last year didn't help at all.

Later!

Well, that's all. Not much going on here. Nothing to do. My house is spotless and my paper is packed.
