Hi everyone! Happy first day of Fall! I know for some of you it is still hot hot hot where you live but here in Canada things are definitely cooling off ... Happy happy birthday to AussieMeg and scrappintoee! . I hope you are both able to celebrate! I didn't go to Denny's for breakfast with my mum today ... I woke up with a headache and slightly queasy so I cancelled ... I'm feeling better now ... No real plans for the day other than laundry ... which brings me to my meme! I am the Queen of Procrastination and only do laundry when I have run out of comfortable underwear. . If I had to do it with this contraption I would probably just go out and buy new underwear instead! Dinner tonight is undecided ... maybe takeout of some sort! How is everyone feeling today? Those who are injured? How is your dh today **GypsyGirl**? How are things going for you in Texas scrapmaven? What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a relaxing Sunday everybody!

Happy birthday AussieMeg and scrappintoee! Also happy first day of fall even though it's going to be 92 here today. I'm just puttering around the house this morning but managed to get my kitchen cleaned up. I've got laundry and dust mopping to do today and hopefully, I'll get that done before football starts. My game is at 3pm but I'll try to keep up with the others for my fantasy team. I'm 0-2 so it's not starting out well for me. I ended up drinking wine at my sister's house last night to decompress from the stressful day and I sure felt it this morning! I'm not a spring chicken any more Not sure what dinner will be tonight. I have stuff to make a quiche so I might do that or make some cheeseburger soup. I hope you all have a great day!

Happy Sunday! AussieMeg and scrappintoee I hope you both get to celebrate in a big way! I was gone all week to Vegas for a meeting. It was a good trip but I was so ready to be home Friday. My flight was delayed over 3 hours. I finally rolled in the house at 2:30am Saturday. Ugh...I finally unpacked this morning and have laundry going. Headed to the grocery store in a few minutes then I am not doing anything the rest of the day. Looks like I need to go back and catch up on this past week. It is finally raining here. It is so dry and dusty. Temps are still high. Vegas was actually cooler last week than it was at home! Dinner will be beef tips.

I'm sorry that you missed breakfast w/your mother this am, leannec. I hope that the rest of your day is much better. I'm doing well down here, just bored. I don't like being home alone all day. I miss having dh to yak at, periiocally. Still, I'm getting what I need and that's why I'm here. This afternoon, I'm going to dedicate time to YouTube and finding a video that will teach me how to fix knitting mistakes. Though I searched for a class here, I couldn't find one. Enough is enough. I'll learn from You Tube. Oh My Gosh. We have 2 birthdays. Wishing both AussieMeg and scrappintoee the Happiest of Birthdays scrappintoee, may your year be filled w/healing, release from pain and lots of fun w/your friends. AussieMeg, may your year be filled w/delicious meals, doing things you love to do and lots of fun.

Happy birthday AussieMeg and scrappintoee. Hope you both have a wonderful day. Dinner is leftover chicken soup. The Buffalo Bills don’t play till tomorrow night so today I’m going to do some more decluttering. I just emptied out my kitchen drawers. I found some things that I forgot I had. I also made the decision that I am going to go to my nieces wedding in Mumbai India, probably 18 months from now. The flight was what was concerning me because of the length but I suck it up and go. She is getting married here a year from now and then the wedding in India will follow.

Happy birthday AussieMeg and scrappintoee! I hope this is a fun day for the two of you! Scrappintoee your DH and your birthday is so close, will you get another cake or do you still have some left? Aussiemeg I feel like we should have wished you happy birthday on yesterday's thread...lol...the time difference messes me up. I pulled a leannec today and I was up at 3 am. Wide awake. 🙄 So I got up, made the coffee, read from two different books. And then I was at the market when it opened at 7 today. I got all my groceries and was home by 8 am. I cleaned the kitchen, put the groceries away and made myself some banana stuffed pancakes. I cannot decide if I want some green peppers stuffed with lentils, quinoa, and tomatoes tonight. (The peppers came from my garden.) Or if I want to make some butternut squash soup. We will see how I feel later. I'm quilting right now. Camper quilt still in timeout. I'm working on a different one. Jeremy is golfing and when he gets home he will resume stripping the deck so we can refinish. It's our first sell the house project.

He's doing so much better! They will start stepping down the size of his trach tube tomorrow and are thinking about removing the vent from his room! He's been off that for 4 days now! Discussion has started on what his next step is and which rehab facility it will be. It won't surprise us if he is moved to rehab by the end of the week. Fingers crossed! This begins week #13 and we are all completely over this journey!

I'm back to feeling normal again this morning and slept like the dead! AussieMeg and scrappintoee I hope both of you have fabulous day. My sister would have been 79 today. This picture of her always cracked me up ~ Miss Toilet Paper 1963. This was taken in front of our school in Hawaii when she was a senior. To my knowledge, she was the first and last Miss TP. Dinner will be Horseradish Meatloaf.

Happy Sunday dinner friends.
Happy birthday ladies!! I hope you both have a fantastic day!
Yesterday was a busy and exhausting day. We were awaken at 6 am by the fire department to let us know that the hangar where our larger plane lives caught fire. Luckily the sprinklers saved the plane with minimal damage. Dh had some stuff(junk) stored in the back that has water damage,that needs to be dealt with. And the plane evaluated in depth but overall it could have been much much worse. After that I ran home and headed to GS’s game halfway there DH called to say he was locked out of the house. So I turned back. But then he found a key in his truck. So I proceeded to the baseball game. I was exhausted from all the confusion and it was 98 degrees. There was a break between his games and DH brought the pup to the 2nd game that was an evening game and much more comfortable at 92 degrees. Hehe!
Today DH is at the hangar re-assessing the damage and the plane . I’m hanging with the pup. I’d like to sew but we will see. Dinner is lasagna that I have in the freezer. Easy peasy.
Wishing everyone a great day!

She is getting married here a year from now and then the wedding in India will follow. That will be an adventure! Hot! Will it be a multi-day affair? Indian weddings often are ... Try to fly in business class because it is a long flight! I pulled a leannec today and I was up at 3 am. Wide awake. Hahahahaha!!! I was up at that time too!

Good evening all, We are home and about collapsed on the sofa and thinking that dinner just won’t happen tonight. After church this morning, we made our way to the Oktoberfest grounds, had a yummy lunch at our favourite tent, then wandered around for a bit before coming home. It was lovely out - warm and sunny - and the Wiesn grounds were absolutely packed. Yesterday the reported a crowd of around half a million and I think today will be the same. I have tried to post some photos , but Tapatalk is not cooperating with me. Hopefully I can get things figured out later!

Happy birthday AussieMeg and scrappintoee! DH and I went for a 21 km bike ride this morning before the rain arrives. I’ve checked the long term forecast for each of the ports we will visit and the temps are between 17-20 degrees C. There will be a couple days of rain. I realize that this could change and probably will but it gives me an idea of what to pack. Now I just have to do it! Supper will be rechauffe steak.

I also made the decision that I am going to go to my nieces wedding in Mumbai India, probably 18 months from now. Wowww....yes, very long flight, but I hope you have a blast! Is she having the big, days-long weddings? I've seen several amaaazing Indian weddings on "90 Day Fiancee." Scrappintoee your DH and your birthday is so close, will you get another cake or do you still have some left? Hee hee---I actually make a cute, small cake for him per his request. With the rest of the batter, another cake or cupcakes and freeze. Ohhh, and of course I had to "taste-test" some of the extra cake. cadoodlebug----How funny!!! . And your sister was so pretty. (( hugs )) I'm so sorry you lost her---I think you said she had Alzheimers?

AussieMeg....my birthday twin !!! I wish we could all meet you in person, I think you would be a BLAST to hang out with !!!! I am very excited to see my dear friends today, it has been too long. Besides chatting/laughing, I am MOST excited about going to stores to look at / LAUGH at Halloween stuff. It's been a tradition of ours that we haven't been able to do for about 6 years, so I cannot WAIT!

So long story why she and her brother have no contact with her mother

Happy Sunday!!! Not much going on around here. Just a lot of resting. I am going to get a shower and put on fresh jams. Very exciting, I know!!! Happy Birthday AussieMeg and @scrappintoe I hope this coming year is full of happiness and great surprises!!! Today is also my oldest son’s birthday. He is 35. Yikes!!! I’m going to see if he wants to come over later for wings. I can order those on my phone and he can pick them up. Sorry about your hangar and plane. I’m glad the damage wasn’t too bad. Very scary though! @austinscrapaddict @leanne I started watching the new season of selling sunset. I can tell it’s going to be a good one!!!

scrappintoee ! I'm so glad you are getting out with friends today. Have fun!!! I feel like I should wish you a belated AussieMeg as you probably won't see this until Monday morning, but know that half a world away we were thinking of you on the 22nd!!! Hoping the family spoils you with a lovely spread of interesting and exotic foods. leannec , your meme made me LOL. I'll take modern laundry over the olden days anytime, but still reserve the right to complain and want someone to invent the automatic folding machine. Hope today is much smoother and relaxing, austnscrapaddict . Today is a mix of chores and play but all at home because DH is replacing bits and pieces of my car (struts, hoses, filters, ??). If I have enough potting soil a whole bunch of indoor and outdoor plants are getting repotted today. ETA christine58, good for you! What a fabulous reason to go to India! Netflix had a series about big, insanely over the top Indian weddings a few years ago. If it is still available, you should check it out.

scrappintoee and AussieMeg wishing you both a very happy birthday! DS decided to make jambalaya today. I decided to let him! I hope I like it. We had a busy morning and I didn’t sleep well so I’m guessing I’ll be napping soon.

Ok you guys have to settle an argument.
If I asked you to bring me a bag of plain chips, what would you bring? Now if I asked you to bring me a bag of plain pretzels, what would you bring?

Your sister was friends with Bette? Cool Yeah, it seems so weird now that she spent the night at our house all the time. My sister started the junior and senior class plays as the director and Bette was the lead. We always knew she would be a star. A blast from the past: My sister is on the left, you can recognize Bette! ntsf, you always amaze me driving 13 hours by yourself to get to Idaho!
