hi 2k2c ... sorry to hear about your car .. but that everybody is okay ...

are you anywhere close to wisconsin?? I love to tie .. and hand-bind ... I should get some more quilts posted ... just finished a b/w quilt - very classy, I thought ...

will post the latest that I submitted to the wisconsin art board promotion for direct purchase and fellowship ...

thanks for your kind words - now to pull it all together and make a difference!

Kelly, so sorry to hear about the loss. Keeping the whole family in prayer.

Pam, so thankful DH is ok.

Debbie, glad you're having a great time up north. As to the bladder stuff, I've had to see a urologist too. He confirmed that the bladder stuff was caused by the MS and gave me some helpful hints and such. Not perfect, but a little better now.

Weave, sorry to hear about the bank stuff. I've had to fight with some of the med people recently to find out what's been going on. One sent us to collections when they shouldn't have (and they are fixing that), and the other billed the insurance company incorrectly and tried coming after me for the balance. They are duking it out right now, and I have it on my schedule to call them next week to see what's up.

Sandy, hoping the boys show up to help you this weekend with the rocks and you can get that discount.

Happy Labour day weekend everyone!!!!!

Beautiful day and not sure what we're going to do. May paint some. Trying to do handmade bookmarks to sell at my festival tent next weekend. Those little suckers have been hard to prep.

On the plus side, the thunking in my head is less. So thinking the inflammation in the eye was causing it and the drops are helping. But waiting to talk to eye doc again next week to see where to go from here before I call the neuro about some of my other issues. Especially since hubby is starting to get in a tizzy about it, despite the fact he understands why I'm doing my order of operation.

Hoping everyone has a wonderful and safe weekend!!!

Good Morning all. I can't believe it's Labor Day Weekend already.....but I'm so glad it is. This means Fall and Winter are not far away. I'm so tired of this hot, humid weather.

I'm not doing anything special for the holiday. It's still pretty warm here and rain is in the forecast so I'll be inside. I have lots of housework to catch up with so this will be a good weekend to do that. Both boys are gone off to spend the weekend with friends so I have a quiet house to clean.

Oldest DS is moving out at the end of October with his girlfriend. That will give me my spare bedroom back. Think I'll move the treadmill in there and put a TV, too. Maybe that will motivate me to start using it again!

I haven't heard when or where my BIL's brothers funeral will be held. I plan on going to the visitation but not the funeral. It will be crowded as he was a firefighter and they usually all turn out when a fellow firefighter dies regardless of the circumstances. So ironic.....he risked his life so many times while working and then, on one of his off days, this accident happened. Makes me think about all the family I've lost over the past 8 years......just makes me sad. I hadn't lost anyone close to me except my grandmother during my whole life......then wham, it all happens pretty much at once. Just makes me think about it too much and too often.

OK, enough with the sad talk. I need to get started on this dirty house. First, another cup of coffee.

Ya'll have a good holiday weekend and stay safe.

I understand, Kelly. ((((Hugs))))

(((kelly))) It's so, so difficult when a young person dies so suddenly...so shocking. Prayers still going out for the families...

Fin, glad the thumping is lessening...

Wish we would have had this gorgeous weather earlier in the summer! The lake water is nice, and the sun is shining and it's absolutely beautiful! DD and new DH arrived safely last night, and we've had a good time playing games and taking them tubing. So nice to see my Pumpkin again!!

Play safe everyone, and remember this is a holiday to celebrate the contributions of all of our regular Joes and Janes who put so much into work...

Hi all! We've been out all day digging rocks. Here's a cute pic of the guys that helped out. I still have some work to do but not the back bending kind anymore.

Evenin' all. Hugs all around.

Well my school funk is lifting some. Would still be nice if I had a crystal ball or something like that. Oh well, such is life.

Not much happening this weekend. DS was supposed to go on a sleepover but it fell through at the last minute. He is miffed at DD who got invited to one kind of spur of the moment. Life ain't always fair kiddo. Deal. I'm sure we will throw something on the BBQ on Monday and call it a holiday.

Went to a book store today intending to only get one book. I walked out with two. Time to curl up again with the career picking title. It suggests careers based on your personality. I still don't have the peace I'm looking for about becoming an MT. After all this time I think I need to move on. If I come back to it I know which school I won't be going to.

Have a safe holiday everyone.

Way to go for that rock-moving team Sandy! They did a great job helping you. I hope you rewarded them well.

Weave,

I hope it works out for your schooling. When I went to college starting in my late 30s, I started thinking of one subject and changed a few times and finally ended up in business and computers/IS classes. My degree is in business administration because by the time I finally got to finish it, it was the most practical one in my late 40s. It will hit you one day of what you really want from your studies.

My biggest desire was to have training for a good job but I ended up wanting something general that I could apply to many occupations. It will all work out, you'll see.

Kelly:


Everybody:

Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend.

It was pretty warm today so I stayed inside and did tax work for the businesses. I was tired anyway because my infusion was yesterday.

Tomorrow I hope to garden and work out if it isn't too hot. I haven't shot any baskets yet this week so maybe I can do so tomorrow at some point. I need to set up some little seed baskets too so I can attempt to harvest some flower seed for next spring.

Hugs and prayers and good thoughts to all who need them...

Morning all The sun is shining, and I have coffee!!!

Been considering calling the neuro. Pain and spacticity has gotten worse, which is fun when it happens on a holiday weekend - LOL! Even my stretching has begun to hurt, so need to call him on Tuesday. Fun, fun, fun.

But other than that, still doing what I'm doing. Being the stubborn, mad artist.

Praying all have a safe weekend!!!
