You Can Tell!!

[Janet]

You can sure tell that summer is here. Talk about a slow down at 4WT...LOL. Everyone is busy outside...as it should be. Fresh air and physical exercise will keep us healthier but I sure miss all the chatter that is usually here.

Hey Janet, I was thinking this myself yesterday... Great minds think alike...lol

I guess with summer approaching everyone is doing out door activities. I have been busy just cleaning my house . Tomorrow is Father's Day and I am having his family over for a bbq. So thats what I am doing this weekend. What are you and the others doing?

I miss the new threads new, hey we have to meet up one night in the chat room and all of us can catch up. :)

[Janet]

Chat room is a great idea!!!

I've just been doing the normal outdoor things...you know...pull weeds, help mow the yard. Getting ready to head out here in a few minutes, but needed to get some laundry done this morning. I'm trying to get up enough energy to start painting, but gee that sounds like a lot of work....LOL. It does need done though.

I remember last summer it was pretty quiet too. I hope everyone is okay.

I'm in the house because

1. It's been too hot to go anywhere, except the beach

2. I'm supposed to be packing (I'm obviously not doing that either).

I also miss the normal activity on 4WT, but I'm happy for those of you who have backyards, etc. to go to. I'll soon have that too! It's a little surreal at the moment.

I'm here and hopefully can be on a little bit more than I have been. I finally got all of my plants and flowers planted!!!!! Yay!!! I completely took almost everything out of my flower beds and replanted. It looks so much better now. When it starts really warming up I'm going to mulch everything to save on watering.

We flooded yesterday. This was the third time this year and the worst of the three. My son had water right up to his house. I have some pictures and I'll try soon to get all of my pictures posted on here.

I have a lot of threads to catch up on so don't be surprised to see some from days ago show up!!!

[Janet]

As long as you're here I don't care how old the threads are. I am looking forward to the pictures.

[katcarasella]

I'm not outside, it's too hot for me. I have to dust off all my trophy's on my bookcase today. :bleh:

[DianaB]

Ok, I didn't get to them today but I haven't forgotten them. Tomorrow I'll be busy with church and stuff so I'll shoot for Monday. Ok?

I'm so sorry you got hit with the floods again Diana! I hope you and your family don't have too much damage. Will you be able to plant your crops this season?

[Tink]

I've been busy outside, ran off with Londa yesterday for several hours, have been meeting with buyers picking up pups, talking with others interested in the remaining pups, and so on.
Greg planted a new flowerbed for me this weekend with the perennials I bought at a garage sale last weekend. He put border around it, mulched it with cedar chips, and it looks very nice! Gotta love a man who's willing to do this kind of work for his lady.
:D He also patched the big run where Canada had made some holes, added to the Hosta bed, and only "let" me go shopping yesterday if I'd promise not to buy him a fathers day gift. He said there's nothing he needs and he knows I love him, so that's all the gift he wants. Awwwwwwwwww

[HALEY]

we'll im here on and off, Monday - Friday from 6:30 am till 3:00 pm...
then my second baby shift starts, i'll run home and pick him up, feed him then if its nice we are outdoors for play time.:):)

[donna1990]

I am here every day because it is too hot and humid to work outdoors. We have been having a lot of unexpected lightening and I am scared of it. When I was a teen ager, was ironing and a streak of lightening came in and knocked the iron out of my hand. MAD WE A BELIEVER!!!!!

[Janet]

Oh Donna, that had to have been so scary. Were you hurt in any way? It was in our paper that a teenage girl was closing a window because it was raining in and she got struct by lightening. She is fine except for some tinkling AND numbness in her arms, but with therapy, it should leave no lasting effects.

[HALEY]

lightening is nothing to mess with! My brother had a cb in his room when i was little and he had this big antanna outside in the yard, just an old ugly looking thing, anyways lightening stuck it. My Dad said he didn't ground the antanna, well my girlfriend and i were playing in that room, i just remember a big boom !! We couldn't hear for a long time .. Thank God he always unpluged the back of the cb and stuck it in an old flower vase, i guess the lighting came into the house and the vase counter reacted the impact, but when the lightening went back out of the house where my brother drilled a hole for the connection to the antanna it blow a nice hole in the house! Lighting and thunder still scare the crap out of me.
After that happen, my mother took the cb out of his room!

[DianaB]

Our home was struck by lightening when I was a little girl and again after Glen and I were married. I hate lightening especially when it's close. We had so many close hits in the old house because we sat right in the middle of a large field so the trees were the highest things around.

Janet, I read about the girl that you talked about. The lightening struck her while she was inside of the house closing a window. Scary.

[Tink]

We had lightening strike right outside our front door when I was about 5 or 6. I happened to be standing by the door at the time, and ended up with what looked like a sunburn on my back through the screen from it.

I'm still not smart enough to be scared of it. lol

Yes she was inside her house. I don't remember exactly where she lived, but that would have scared me to death.

About 15-20 years ago, a storm struck during the night. It must have been a Friday night because I was cleaning the next day and I ALWAYS cleaned on Saturday. When I pulled the nightstand out, the wall around the phone jack was all black and the little mini tape that was in the answering machine (we didn't have digital then) was on the floor. The wall could have very easily caught fire, but we didn't hear a thing, slept right through it. That was scary to think would COULD have happened.
