Thanks snowflake! Mom just called me ~ she didn't know that I had already heard about my aunt. She's so upset. That makes me so sad! My Mom has always been close to this sister. :(

(((Hugs)))

Merry Morning,

It's going to be in the 60s today! Welcome summer :)

Up way to early on a Saturday morning but such is the life with young children :D
We had a nice Friday evening. We watched Everest. Amazing true story.

I'm preparing the house for a viewing at midday. I would have preferred to kick of the weekend with a lazy morning. Thinking about taking the children to the nature park while they show the house. The squirrels are so tame there, they eat out of your hands :)

Hope to resume lazy time on the sofa before work tomorrow for me :D Other than that we will play some board games, watch a couple movies and I am making roast chicken with roasted potatoes and summer vegtables for dinner.

Have a beautiful Saturday everyone.

Good morning everyone! The school year is over! Yesterday was the last exam day and then the teachers had to stay until 8 to clean and finish up grades. It is strange, it really does not feel like the school year is done. But, I will take it. We leave for vacation on Tuesday. I will take about a month and not think much about school. Then I will start planning and updating lessons and getting ready for next year.
I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend!
Have a safe & fun filled trip!!!

Good morning/afternoon, Sam~
Glad you're enjoying such summery weather! Have fun at the park =]
Love that the squirrels eat right out of your hands!! ❤️

Hope the showing goes well!

Enjoy your delicious dinner, and relaxation time on the sofa!
Speaking of squirrels, there was one on our patio at the lake this morning. It didn't take long to run away once I let Gracie outside. LOL It was so cute though!

We were at the local Christmas Tree Shop this weekend, and they had a BIG display of all sorts of Yankee Candles. So if you're a Yankee Candles fan and there's a CTS in your neighborhood, check it out.
The closest one is over 2 hours away. :(

Good morning, Happy Tuesday!
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend. Back in to the swing of things today. I'm heading out soon, I have to do some food shopping. Back home afterward to work on the laundry, I definitely slacked this weekend and it really piled up. I have a couple of other errands to run this afternoon so I'll be in and out today. I'll pop back in when I can. Hope everyone is well and has a nice day!
Have a great day HMG!

Hey MMC friends! I'm sorry I missed you all this weekend. I worked and kept super busy. But I'm excited to be back! Things have been pretty good. The only difficult thing right now that's new is that my dad's cousin had a heart attack and he's in the hospital now. He's expected to pull through so that's good! We're hoping he feels better soon-lots of caretaking for me currently between him and my aunt.

Hoping you all had a wonderful weekend! Looking forward to hearing how everyone is-apologies for anything I missed!!

Good morning!

All caught up ~ took quite a bit of time as I was over three days behind. :)

The past three days went by fast! Quite an interesting time, too. It was very hot and humid, the promised rain never happened, although it stormed in the surrounding areas, and I have been sick since Friday afternoon. Better, but exhausted today, so I am going to catch up on chores around the house and see if the stuff picked up for the store were good finds.

Speaking of the store, the sale is going all right, but the punch bowl sets still haven't sold. Keeping the sale going for at least two more weeks as June is also a slow month. If all else fails, Plan B will take effect. The mall owner said we were doing great for our size, but I hinted around again that I would like a bigger space. :)

A critter threw the dirt out of the pots that were going to be a part of my kitchen garden and since I found 4 kittens under the barberry bush that was nearby, I decided to scrap the idea for this year. The kittens are adorable! :)
All but the beans have been planted, so as of now, things are looking good garden-wise. Hopefully it will rain tonight/tomorrow as the fruit trees and berry bushes really need the rain!

Off to catch up on chores. Have a most merry day!!
I'm glad you're getting better, but you better still take it easy. You don't want a relapse. Take care my Christmas Fan friend!

Good morning guys & gals! Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a wonderful memorial weekend! The weather turned out to be awesome! We had a major downpour Saturday night just as we were getting ready to eat our smoked food - but not a big deal, we just piled inside & ate. ;) And I must say it was quite delicious! Then us girls played marbles. Haven't played that for a long time ~ it got pretty heated! Ha ha!!! It was fun!

This morning has been a little unusual. I was supposed to stay with Mom last night but her AC went out, so my sis took her to her house on Saturday night & she stayed there for the weekend. I had already told my boss I would be in late this morning since I thought I would be staying with Mom ~ I woke up today & felt like I had a cow sitting on my chest! I'm not sure if it's a cold or allergies! My co-worker said he had the same thing, all weekend. UGH! Anyway, I'm feeling better now, but I did take advantage of coming into work late. I stayed at the lake a little longer this morning & enjoyed some couch & tv time! Hard to come in after that. What a beautiful morning!

THEN I got some sad news that my Moms youngest sister was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer! UGH! Cancer sucks! :( Makes me so sad. She's such a sweet lady! Her husband died of kidney cancer probably close to 15 years ago. I hate this for their family! She see's a specialist on Thursday which also happens to be my uncle Bobs funeral. Viewing is Wednesday so I guess I'll be off work Thursday instead of today. What a week, huh?! Just reinforces that we need to cherish family, friends & health!

Everyone, have a great day!!!

My heart breaks for you and your family. Blessings and prayers friend.

Good afternoon, DYHWIH~
Sorry to hear about your Dad's cousin, he's in my thoughts and prayers, as well as you and your entire family. Praying for a smooth recovery.

Good afternoon, Holiday!
I'm so glad you had awesome weather over the weekend!
Oh, the way you woke up sounds horrible ~ praying you are better soon!! Hope you get out in time to enjoy some of that gorgeous weather today, too. :)
My goodness, what an awful time your family is having. Sending up many prayers for your aunt and for you and the rest of the family. (((HUGS)))
Thanks so much M! Prayers for my Aunt are surely appreciated!
I am definitely feeling much better. As I mentioned before I really think it was allergies form those darn cottonwood tree's!
