COMMON GROUND COFFEE HOUSE #92

preacher, there is a nice complex on Vandalia Road in between South Elm Eugene Street and Randleman Road. Can't Remember the name, I believe it is Quail Run, but don't hold me to it.

Several good christian brothers live in that complex.

 

Evening all!

Been kind of a quiet day around here, once I got all the phone calling done and got Chris picked back up from school. He didn't make it very long but at least he tried. He's done better this pm so we'll try school again tomorrow.

The girls are quiet too. One is asleep and one is playing on the computer. Probably killing off some more of her Sims. She doesn't quite have the hang of keeping them happy AND healthy.

I baked a chocolate sheet cake(no frosting) for the kids. Ya'll are welcome to a piece if you wish.

 

just ate a piece of homemade fudge, but may try a piece of that cake later

Thanx
Blessings

 

Jim, no..we're trying to start a cleaning business for vacant apts. & homes.
SFIC, I know the area, but today & friday I'm hitting the properties I worked as an exterminator. Then I'll go in a grid after that to go through the rest of G'boro. or mostly anyway. I told Agee there are some sections I Don't want to work in. Too much dope & stuff.

 

Blessed Morning all:

This is the day that the Lord hath made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.

Happiness is a choice. Though things sometimes come into our lives that we don't expect, we know that everything that comes before us has first been approved by God for our learning. I will therefore be happy in all things. (Sorry, had to give myself a little pep talk and reminder!)

This morning it's 32 degrees and very foggy. Vivian made it to work ok, but it was a rough road. She could barely see where she was going and she killed a poor little bunny on the way up our road. She should have picked it up and brought it back so I could have skinned it and cut it's feet off to make "Lucky" rabbits feet!

Sue, I used to listen to my Grandfather's stories about his childhood all the time, and then about his days in the CCC during WW II. If I wouldn't have listened, my mother and her sister wouldn't have even known about Grandfather's sister and another brother who had passed away at birth or shortly thereafter. They went back and did a check to see if I was right, and low and behold, in my uncles family history book it was there in black and white! I wish I would have listened more closely. I could have gleaned so much more from my Grandfather, and not only from him, but from my adoptive father, James Lanius. I miss them both greatly. Even my own father in law, though he was an alcoholic, had some hard life experiences that he spoke only to me about.

Can anyone believe that January is almost over?!? I can't! It's hard to believe that it's passed so quickly.

Everyone, have a blessed day. Though some of you may think I'm joking or "mushy", I want you to know that I pray for all of you every day and love each and every one of you. I'm glad that the Lord put you ALL in my path.

Remember to:

Be good, Be kind, Be careful.

Wow, isn't this place the hub of activity today!?!

It's up to 53 here and it's windy. I've yet to eat lunch, but I'm heading that way shortly. I think we're going to have chili-mac again tonight for dinner! Tomorrow night will be breakfast or soup. I've GOT to be there for adult Bible study. It's going to be hard doing this for the next few months until Vivian has a change in her hours. <<<<<sigh>>>>>

 

Afternoon Everyone!

Sue, what kind of needles are you using in your machine? The best are made by Schmetz. Lots of things can cause a needle to break including, the thread coming off the wrong end of the spool(gets caught in the split), lint in your bobbin case, not enough oil in the right places or the wrong size needle for your fabric. If all that doesn't fix it, it might be time for an actual repairman(nah!).

Whatcha sewing?

It's been a good day here. The sun is shining which lifted my mood. Chris was smiling and joking when I got to school to check on him. He said his head still hurt some but I gave him some advil and he was fine to stay at school. No gym, though and I left his sunglasses so the sunlight wouldn't trigger the migraine back off when school let out. The sun is very bright today, probably cause it's been cloudy for so long.

Gotta run clean out my car. Two and a half weeks of sick kids, grocery shopping and todays excurision to the coop to pick up bedding and hay for the critters has taken it's toll. I'm even going to have to break down and vacuum.

 

My grandmother told us a couple stories that her grandfather had told her about his experiences in the "War of Northern Aggression" or "The War Between the States"
He was helping the cook make biscuits one time and didn't like the thick dough on his hands, so he kept scraping it off. He ended up with very few biscuits.
The other was about taking a bullet in the leg. (Kinda yucky) there was a hole, so it was cleaned out by running a piece of silk cloth through the hole.

Y'all have a good evening!!

 

Evening All,
Well I went & got our insurance today, actually found some at a reasonable price for the amount we need. So we should be set for friday, less of course the Lord has other plans!!
I forgot about the food being "virtual", so...BH! ya can have all the chocolate ya want in here!!! Now watch her not like chocolate!
At least here in the real world she's been acting more like her old self. I tried to get some pics last night of her fightin' with my hand, but that cheap camera just don't take good pictures.
Well gotta run & eat for now!

 

Well Sue, your broken limb has displaced these two.. Don't mind if they spend some time with BH here at CGCH, do you?

 

I Knew something was up. There was a lot more cotton in the rocker than usual!

 

Since I had relatives who fought on both sides of the War of Northern Aggression, I heard stories from both sides. My grandfather's great grandfather or grandfather fought for the North and was captured and imprisoned 2x near Chattanooga. He escaped both times. My birth father's family fought on both sides....his mothers side of the family fought on the side of the South, his fathers side fought for the North. I wish I would have recorded or written down all the stories that were passed down. I was just a wee young lad then, and didn't. I didn't think much about it until after they were all gone.

 

Blessed morning all...

It's a cold 39 here. The wind chill, believe it or not, is only 29. It's still sort of foggy, but we will get through that.

Tonight is adult Bible study and the Kids of Faith. Starting next week, I will take over the adults training. I'm not sure what kind of materials to use. I haven't taught in years. Any suggestions? Remember...we are planning on being a SBC church.

Well, I'm a little wiped out right now. The barometric pressure is wreaking havoc with my ears.

Be good, Be kind, Be careful.

Bro. T

 

Good Morning All,

Hope she understands when they head for the woods across the street!!
Well, lets go make some batteries!!

 

Morning all -

Windy, freezing temps, snow showers here...
