Marilyn congratulations to your hubby!! I am glad you got to spend some quality time for Melissa.

Everyone seems to be busy. I have been busy myself with work, taking real estate classes and took a test and Passed!! Got my designation for my business card I am now a ABR which stands for a buyers representative looks good on business cards lol.

My daughter turned 21 on May 6th she came home from school yesterday and is out celebrating in Atlantic City now that she is of legal age to drink and gamble. oh boy. lol I will plan a party with some of her friends and family in a few weeks when it is warmer outside and we can bbq .

I swear this place is like a ghost town...............Maybe I'll go redecorate my Profile.

It does sound like everyone is busy with their lives and children's lives. We don't have as much going on here. Hope you all can take time to rest.

Janet, I for one do miss being on there with everyone. So sorry there is so little time. I'm still wishing I could make the meetup. There's just so much right now. Work is booming and taking extra hours, and we have the following going on.

1. May 10 - 18, Parade of Homes
2. June 15, we close on the sale of the property and home where I grew up. I have never finished going through my parents stuff. It was very hard for me. So many memories. What is left is stored in buildings on the property. We have to go through it and be out by closing.
3. June 21, Melissa's wedding.

The sale of this property is something we've been wanting for years. The sign's been up for two or three years. I can't believe that it is happening right now. The timing could hardly be worse. Going through the emotions of closing one chapter in life by going through my parent's things then our daughter's wedding. Tears come at the drop of a hat right now.

Once all this is completed, I think we're taking a short trip somewhere. Hubby says maybe Vegas. We've never gone there. He wouldn't go because of the gambling, but I think we have him convinced that there is a lot more to do. He even joked that the might marry me again. :rolleyes:

It looks as though you're gonna need a liitle R & R after these next few weeks Marilyn. :hug: for you and remember we're thinking about you.

Sorry that I wasn't on more this weekend but I'd come on and post to 2 or 3 threads and then someone would come in. We had a great weekend. My cousin, Rick, and his wife and family are probably the cousins that we're closest to. They also came up to visit with Rick's grandfather from the other side of his family. He's been going downhill since he's been put in an assisted living home. The family all went out to his grandfather's place and mowed and cleaned up. While they were gone doing all of that I went to some garage sales. I was late getting out since I'd made a big breakfast but it was just nice to get out for a change. Things were pretty picked over so I didn't get much.

Then on Sunday we went to church at our high school because we had the Power Team here! The speaker was really, really good! Then we went home and I had dinner for 24 of us. My Mom and my girls are all really good about bringing food and helping out so it was pretty easy to get it all ready. Our company left about 3 or so. Then we went in and saw the Power Team perform! All I can say is WOW!! They had a great service and tonight we have another one. This afternoon I'm just catching up on 4WT!!!!

Your family sounds so wonderful!

I'm sorry you were lonely Janet! I was hanging out with my 2 granddaughters.
Brandon, the 6 year old was recuperating overnight in the hospital. He had his tonsils and adenoids out.

I really enjoyed being with the girls.

awwww, mom, I really enjoyed it as well. That was part of the reason i didn't want to leave when you kicked me out :eek:. ((she sent me home becasue it was already dark and she was falling asleep.)) Of course, part of it was that i wanted to be there in case you needed anything and to make sure the doctors and nurses were taking good care of you too.

Not Friday any longer, but I am here! :wavey:
