Common Ground Coffee House #113

Was that a cry for help I heard?!

You'll be fine. No, you won't have enough food. You can never have enough food for a party, and look at me. LOOK AT ME! It's OKAY. They'll come through and devour it like a herd of wild beasts, so you don't even have to make it look nice. In fact, you can just save yourself the time and put out empty plates with some crumbs on the bottom, they'll never know. Stand there and say "oh my goodness, look at how much food is gone!" and they'll just go listen to some weird, modern music that'll give you a headache and then they'll all be gone and you won't know what happened but you'll take some Motrin and it'll all be over and...LOOK AT ME! That is OKAY.

:laugh:

I'm sure it will be wonderful. Tell us about it when it's over!

Nothing too exciting to report here. Just busy, tired, bought some of THE yummiest grapes ever, and

WAIT A MINUTE!

Yes there IS something exciting to report!

We picked two fat, ripe tomatoes out of our garden today along with a handful of snap peas! I can't believe I forgot!

They are SO delicious, and we're all happy and wiggly and are you allowed to be proud of God for making the earth able to produce such neat and things? Because I think I am! VERY impressive it is. :godisgood:

 

Ann? Ann?? Ann??? Ann?????

You still alive??

 

Send out the royal hounds!

 

Still no sign of Ann.... I hope she is okay. Today has been relaxing. I was supposed to go with some girls from work and get a pedi but we didn't connect so we will try for next weekend. I sat at home and cleaned all day! Mom and dad have gotten a house in town closer to his doctors' offices so I am at the big one in the country by myself. It has been so peaceful and quiet. Dad is doing better. He is scheduled for another skin graft in two weeks and the first one looks good! I had better go, y'all take care!
:godisgood:

 

Fresh doughnuts and coffee in far corner. Also hot water for tea or hot chocolate sitting on the wood stove.

Please be careful, contents are very HOT!!

 

Kids are always weird! Glad she had a nice time.

now I wanna snowcone!!!

 

Whhewwwwhoooo! Can I borrow that car when you are done with it Sue?

Praying for your DH today. My parents have had this done. They say it's not as bad as it sounds.

Good Morning Everyone and welcome to Monday!

The house needs cleaning and there's sewing to be done! Whether or not any of it actually gets done is another question. right now I have two kids and a cat sprawled across my bed, relaxin' and the third kid hasn't crawled out of his own bed yet! Just another lazy summer morning at the menagerie. I'm letting 'em enjoy it while they can, school starts back in just 3 weeks.

Thanks for coffee and breakfast Sue!

 

Good Morning Everybody,

Praying for Dale right now. raying:

Thanks for breakfast Sue!!

Oh Great!, now the gals want to go cruisin' in the 'vette. Please don't go "Thelma and Louise" on us.

Today I have my cardiac ultrasound and carotid doppler done, then hopefully I'm done with cardiac tests.

You keepin' your eyes open for storms Cuz? In the nawth we have tornados, and in the Sawoth you have hurricanes. Now if we could find something to do with the snow and ice. :laugh:

Gotta make Rosemary Chicken and Potatoes, and Apple-Stuffed Acorn Squash for tonight's potluck at church that is before Bible Study every monday night.

Now I have to go wash and gas the 'vette so you gals can cruise.

 

So glad to hear this, Sue! :godisgood:
HAGD :wavey:

 

Good Morning Everyone!

Ann, tell your daughter congrats on her drivers liscense! :applause:

Cass will hers next Monday.

I've hurt my back again this morning in the simple act of bending over. I've just got to quit doing that! So I'm not going to be up to much, but, Cass has to go buy her locker and pay school fees at noon today so we'll get out to do that. I think the rest of the day will be spent resting cause I test for my next rank in karate on Saturday and I've waited nearly a year to be well enough to and I'm NOT planning on missing it.

That's pretty much all that is going on here right now, 'cept I need and $1100 miracle by the 8th of next month. Ya'll could help me pray for that.

I've put smoothie fixin's in the fridge cause it's too hot for coffee!

Ya'll have a good day!

 

Good Afternoon Everybody,

Congratulations Ann on surviving the Open house, and on your daughter passing her driving test.

Praying for your health and your miracle right now Cuz.

We had a little excitement yesterday. There was a drug raid just down the street from us yesterday afternoon. About 2pm two unmarked cars pulled up in front of the house involved and out came police officers. Some headed for the house itself, some went around the back. It was exactly as you would see on an episode of COPS. A total of five marijauna plants were seized, but no arrests were made. After the raid I was walking down the opposite side of the street when I spotted one of the officers that I know. He came over and we talked some, he was kidding me about having a raid on the street I live on, and told me I was" 'showin my age" lettin that go on where I live. I grinned at him and quietly said " and who do you think made the tip, sarge?" I knew the raid was goin' down, that was why I made sure all my Gkids were in our house, and not near the front of the house. I was outside "washing" the car. I have a CCW to carry a 9mm handgun and it was in my rear waistband under my tee-shirt. I was pretty sure that with all the manpower nothing was going to happen anywhere near my house, but when my family could be involved I like to make sure, hence my deciding to "wash the car" yesterday afternoon.

After yesterday today seems kind of dull and quiet - just like I like it too.

I see the 'vette is gone again and so are Sue, Ann, and PJ, guess they're out "testing the environmental air quality" around the Coffeehouse. The best way to do that, I hear, is to have the air blowing through your hair in a convertible. Good to see they're so civic-minded. :laugh:

 

Awwww, it's a great day for a drive with the top down ... :laugh: :thumbs::wavey:

 

Evening Folks,
Been busy the last few days with Agee. She's been having a lot of health issues lately & they have been running all kind of tests. She had another appointment this morning and the Dr. informed her she has lupus. Neither one of us really knew what it is till we got home & did some reasearch, now I'm more than a little concerned.
With that & me being out of work the past month it's piling up on both of us. I was supposed to go out of town next week to do a job up in DC but I told her I'll look for something a little closer to home. I had been installing industrial carousels, thats why I haven't worked...was waiting on another contract to be finished. But I don't want to be 500 miles away if she needs something.
Something seems to be wrong with BH too, hasn't been eating right. Usually she will pig out, but the past two or three days she barely eats. Hope it's just a temporary thing. Can't have her checked by a vet here being wildlife.
Sorry to ramble on, but thats what I've done all day I guess....ramble here & there.
