Common Ground Coffee House #111

Oh my goodness, Ann, those French Puffy Muffin thingies are Dee-lish-ee-ous!!!!!!

 

Good almost afternoon, all!

Some of you folks are sure getting the snow! Keep safe, PLEASE! We are raining this week here, so above freezing. Mountains around us are starting to collect the snow, though.

Barry bought me a lamp for one of our end tables so that I would have enough direct light to do some needlepoint in the evenings. I got it out last night and did about an hour's worth. It was fun getting back to that. Many years ago I spent about five months on a leopard which is hanging in our den. This one is two roses. At the rate I am going I might have it done for our anniversary next October! But it is fun to do in front of the wood stove on a winter evening, with some television program or another on.

Got to get downtown in a bit. Chris is about out of diapers, but we have found a hospital supply which will honor prescriptions for adult diapers. We have been paying for them ourselves up until now and Chris is on Medicare, so having that expense taken care of will be wonderful.

Tanya, hang in there! I'm not here much, but I've been following your progress....or lack of it....and am so glad your husband will be back with you for the birth. God bless you both.

To everyone else, God bless you all, and please drive carefully.

 

Good afternoon all,
Just dropping by for a moment. It is a beautiful afternoon here. I think it got up to 58 for the high here. It is so nice not to have fog and rain with temperatures just above freezing! The kids play went good last night- a few mess ups but nothing major that changed the message. The kiddos are here until there mom finishes work at Wally world tonight. I brought in some chex mix and Christmas cookies left from church last night. Y'all have a good day and stay warm and safe!
:godisgood:

i hope you are all trying to stay warm!!!

 

Good Morning Everybody,

Sorry gals, I can't hold-it-in any longer.

WE GOT THE HOUSE!!!!!! The realtor called this morning and everything came through. We're supposed to meet the realtor at the house tomorrow.

THANK YOU!!!! to everybody for your prayers and encouragement. I don't think I can ever say just how much you are loved and appreciated. :1_grouphug:

This is just going to be a hit-and-run post. I've suddely got a lot of things to do.

Will check in later.

 

Congratulations, Cuz!!!!!!!

I know your family is very excited. Now the hard part starts:



You have to pack!!!

 

Evening, Folks!

Rob-Congrats on the house!

My lower back is hurting! I really hope it is not because of the big "C". But we wonder with every little thing nowadays.:tear:

Will go get the tumor marker drawn tomorrow.raying: please be down please be down


Is everything a "go" for Tanya and baby tomorrow? Will be praying here.raying:

 

congratulations Rob!

Gayla...we are praying the markers go downraying:

we have to be at the hospital by 5:30am and if all goes well my hubby should be holding a baby by noon:thumbs:

i'll have Cindi post an update with all of Leah's info when she is born.

 

Congratulations Rob!
Tanya, you will be in my prayers tommorrow.
Gayla, hoping that your markers are down.
I am going to post and go, oldest nephew is spending the night and I need to get laundry done and work on my solo for Sunday morning.
:godisgood:

 

Good Morning Everybody,

Gayla-Praying the markers go down and stay down.

Tanya-Praying for a safe delivery. Are they using the Lamaize Method?, you know where one of the doctors stands by the sturrups with a glass of French Champagne saying come on babee, come on babee. So the trick to blasting my Cuz away from her sewing machine is to have a baby.

Thanks everybody for the well wishes about the house. We have to go there and sign papers today.[

Too bad we don't have a video of Anns office party. Whos the brunette [who is married to one of the Pastors] with the lampshade on her head and singing atop the table?

No problem about packing Cuz. We're packing one room at-a-time. When we get to the new house[still seems funny to say that] everything goes into the room it belongs in. Thats the plan at least. :BangHead:

I brought in Scottish Toffee Cake. Enjoy.

What is the secret to keeping Women happy at Christmas? The secret goes back over 2000 years...

Wise men still bring gifts. :wavey:

 

Ahh, Cuz! I see you wife has you well trained. :laugh:

Okay folks, we have a baby! Miss Leah (who still doesn't have a middle name) was born this morning at 11:42! She is 19.5 inches long and weighs in at 7 lbs and 12 oz.

Cuz, I am NOT away from the sewing machine. The original plan was that Tanya was going to have Leah tomorrow, Friday, a day that should have been totally empty of plans on my part, except to keep the other 6. I even managed to halfway toddler proof my house. However Tanya's doc couldn't seem to get the idea that "any day, but Thursday" meant "any day but Thursday"! Today was Jenna's school party so I didn't get to go, but rather stayed here and since I am here, the sewing machine is working. Matter of fact, it just beeped at me to put in the next panel to embroider as it is finished with the one in it.

And if anyone thinks that it is possible to have only one thing going on around here at a time, let me inform you of reality: Tanya has a baby, Jenna has a cold and is currently in bed willingly, the sewing machine is working and the cousins will be here this pm. (Party is over, all I had to for it was pick up the pizza's from the restaurant. That was a 'nother whole story. We won't go there today) Oh and I already have an extra kid at my house.

Just think, there will be 6 kids (not even Tanya's), two puppys and 6 adults at my house this evening. Sounds like fun!

 

Sounds like you got a free day tomorrow Cuz. Want to help us pack?

Realtor says we could be in the new house in two weeks.

We're going to look like The Beverly Hillbillies when we move. We'll load up the trucks, and the trailers. Any volunteers to sit in the rocking chair holding the shotgun on top of the truck?

Yessir I done gradeated the sixth grade. Twice. Gonna be a double-ought spy next.

If I was ever stupid enough to call Sue Granny then you'd see somebody usin' a shotgun, and she's probably a crack shot too.

Okay Mrs Menageriekeeper: Back to work. You've had your break for today. I want you rested and strong to help lift tomorrow. Okay, okay I'll feed you too.

Hey Cuz you wanna be Elly May? :smilewinkgrin:

 

Congratulations, FOG!

Here's my advice. Have the new place professionally cleaned and carpets cleaned, etc. before you move in. Makes it much easier.

 

No, I don't want to be Elly Mae! I want to hold the shotgun!!! I'll even bring my own shells. Oohh, can I bring T's .44 Magnum to play with too???

Okay, Baby Leah has a middle name now. She will be Leah Paige. Tanya is also doing fine.

Now wait. Dear Cuz, where'd you get the idea tomorrow was an off day? I still have Christmas to buy and we have rellytives come to visit. I'll be lucky if'n I get to sleep til 8 tomorrow.

 

Morning all,
I am grabbing some breakfast and a Mt. Dew and going to work- have a good day!
