TGIF!

Whew, it has been a busy week, what with working three days in the church office, getting rear ended, and just the normal work that I do for our own business. I could use a break, and this photo gives me a happy feeling while I wait on the computer guy to show up here.

He is bringing a network drive with him, and he is going to tweak our network situation so that all the computers speak the right bytes to find the network and the printer! Woohoo!!! I like it when everything cooperates and plays nicely.

Enjoy your Friday. Share a smile!

Happy birthday, Nan...

Happy birthday, little sister! You know that Mother is smiling down on you...I sure miss "Miss Willie!"
I have church bulletins for two services ready to fold and then stuff the inserts inside. Whew, it's been a busy two days. At least I don't have to go home and cook dinner tonight. Life is good!!!

Bumper to bumper…

The only TWO vehicles in the whole parking lot, and the lady manages to back her truck into my car after lunch yesterday!  And I don’t know how she managed to hit this side of may car, as she was parked not only across the lot from me, but she was closer to the *other* side.  Now that takes talent!  Idiot.  Her big ole trailer hitch put a hole there in my bumper.  It is not a pretty picture.

The claims adjuster will be in touch today or tomorrow the insurance lady said.  You can count on it getting fixed right.  This car had NO dings on it till now, even though it is six years old.  I am not a happy camper.

But the good news is that no one was hurt and *stuff* is fixable…and life goes on………and it is still good!

Happy Tuesday, y’all.  Stay accident free!

Monday, Monday...

The fog should be lifting shortly so that Dick can once again see this beautiful view as he makes his flight today. Just as humans need an annual check up, so do airplanes...and today is the day for that. He'll be happy just to be up flying!

I will be playing church secretary this week while Maureen has knee surgery, so I'm going in this afternoon for a refresher course on what to do. And cleaning off my own desk here so that I can be off working elsewhere!

And then tonight, the whole family will be over to celebrate Brian's birthday, now that he and Jason are back from their fishing/lobstering trip.

Thanks to all who sent comments and good wishes to Haley. It made us both SMILE. You can click on the *smile* if you missed it, or want to see the follow up:-)

Cheers for your Monday...make it a good one!

Sunday smiles...

Everyone deserves a SMILE, right? Some children can't enjoy this basic function. Haley has helped make a difference in a child's life (of course she is a teacher and she already makes a difference in LOTS of lives, but this time it is something very different...and foreign...and fulfilling...and fun)...............

This proud mama wants you to go check out her site to see what she did. Leave her a sweet comment, OK? She and I both will appreciate it.

Enjoy your Sunday, y'all, and count your blessings. Be sure to share a smile with someone today...and every day! It makes a difference.

Happy Birthday, Bike Dude!

Happy birthday, honey! I remember so well our happiness upon your arrival in the world. And it has only gotten better. You have always been a joy to Dad and me, and only an occasional pain in the you-know-what. We love you very much. For sure.
Doodlebug misses his "Bike Dude" and wants you to hurry back. You are such a good uncle to all the kiddies!

Celebrate your special day!!! No, you cannot have the keys to the airplane!

Saturday morning update: Brian and Jason finally got into ATL late last night and friend Matt picked them up at MARTA and drove Jason home this morning. Brian's new bike frame needed to be picked up and then his bike re-done, so that is how he is spending his birthday. Then dinner with friends. We'll celebrate with the family tomorrow!

Aviation adventure...

Instead of Where’s Waldo, you are perhaps wondering after yesterday’s tease–where's Dick? He is at the Oshkosh fly-in today, the world’s greatest annual aviation celebration! Friend Jim (of the Jim/Janet friends–remember our St. Maarten trips?) called and said he has passes to get in today and would Dick like to join him? Does Dick love all things aviation? He was on the computer checking airline schedules/prices before you could even spell Oshkosh!

Obviously there will be thousands of aircraft to see, but also forums, exhibits, people, food...and the main event - the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. Unique aircraft, from early air racers to historical airplanes, participate, along with the world’s finest performers, all headliners on their own, but at Oshkosh, are part of an all-star lineup in a daily three-hour spectacular.

My, oh my. Do ya think Dick is gonna love this? Right on! I know he’ll bring home lots of photos, and I also know I’ll snag and share a few here on the blog. It’s the least I can do.

Have fun, honey. You’ve earned it!

I hope all the rest of you have some fun this Friday...and a great weekend. Life is...all about attitude! How's yours???
