What Did You Do Today?

[gja1000]

Hi Linda, its good to see you here! I think you mentioned in another thread that you got some rain. I sure hope so. It is so terrible to have such hot temperatures and no rain.

I'm leaving for New Mexico tomorrow. My cousin in Albuquerque is buying Gary's Toyota FJ Cruiser and I'm driving it out to her. I'll stay a few days and then fly home. I have a lot of family in NM so I'm really looking forward to seeing all of them. I'll have my iPad so I'll check in when I can.

[Janet]

You are quite the traveler there Gayle... Just stay safe and have a great time. Glad you'll be checking in...I always worry about everyone.

I really didn't do much at all today. Did go to town to meet the bat guy so he could take down the net. There was no bat, so with all the holes sealed, it will die without food and water. The renters were not there but I called and let them know we would be getting the net.

Thanks Gayle, So glad you are keeping busy. Going to be a long day here. But that's okay.

Janet, how is your mouth?

I'm going for a massage this morning. My neck and shoulder are bothering me too much to ignore, so I better get there before I have to really go for treatments! I love a massage, but it is expensive! Better than suffering though!

Gayle, have aq good time! The OK pix are beautiful!

It's raining now, but might be sunny this afternoon. You just can never tell up here, and have to just go with the flow. I hope I can go in the pool. I agree with you Diana. Being in the water is just so wonderful! It's also the best way to cool off, especially if the water is a bit cold.

Mackenzie slept over two nights ago, and we had a wonderful time. Kass has asthma, which is why her cough is lingering. The doctor says it will more than likely go away as she gets older. He is a very good pediatrician.

[Lindsey]

I got through my first week back in the real world. It felt like the longest work week ever!

Tomorrow is Scott's birthday Hopefully he likes what I got him. It's our first birthday as a married couple lol. I finally got to shop in the "Birthday - Husband" section of the card aisle hahaha

[gja1000]

I bet you are tired Lindsey, you've been running running running for weeks!

I'm in Roswell NM tonight. I drove 10 hours today. That's my butt limit.

[Blueyes]

Gayle, watch out for aliens!

[judy]

I was thinking the same thing, Betsi!

Linds, that is so cute! I hope Scott's birthday is wonderful. What did you buy your husband?

It was raining yesterday and today, but I went to the pool for a bit when it cleared up. Of course, my friends came over too! We know what fun the pool can be, even in a light rain!

[Janet]

I'm taking a medication for my swollen jaw, Judy. Hope it works.


Lindsey, tell Scott happy birthday!!

[Lindsey]

I hope your jaw feels better soon Janet!

You are such a traveler Gayle!

I bought my husband a remote control helicopter hahaha! When I bought it, the guy at Best Buy wondered if it was for a nephew. I said nope, it's for my husband. Then he asked if my husband has Benjamin Button syndrome where he keeps getting younger Nope, I guess he's just childish! Oh well, he loved it! But he flew it twice and he broke it, so we are taking it back tomorrow. Maybe we can get a new one. There was some plastic piece that just snapped right off, and it is supposed to be the "best" so I wasn't happy about that. It wasn't cheap!!!

Tonight I took him out to eat at a really nice place! He had prime rib and I had honey garlic ribs. Mmmmmm! After that, we headed to the race track to watch a bunch of races! His coworker races stock cars so it was cool to see someone we know! He won too!

[gja1000]

Betsi, I just barely escaped the aliens in Roswell. I triple locked my door and they pounded on it to get in, but I stood my ground and I guess they got sombody else, cuz I'm still here .

Lindsey, we bought a remote control helicopter AND a remote control flying duck for our son-in-law who is older than Scott. Like Scott, he LOVED them! I don't think guys ever outgrow things like that, and we wouldn't want them to either! I hope you get one that works!

I made it to Albuquerque about 10:30 yesterday morning and then we took off for Santa Fe shortly thereafter. We went to Spanish market, a big festival where individual artists have a booth with Spanish inspired art. There are way over 100 booths (but we didnt see them all). I prefer Indian market which occurs in August, but Spanish market was fun too, and it was great being in Santa Fe.

My cousin's house in Albuquerque is in the foothills of the Sandia mountains on the east side of the city. She has a HUGE picture window in the family room that faces the mountains. It is such a spectacular view. Last night we watched a family of quail, mama, papa, and 9very tiny baby chicks, scratching and eating in the yard, only about five feet from the house. So beautiful!

[judy]

How beautiful that must have been, Gayle! You are so busy! Good for you...you are a smart, strong woman!

Linds, one of the grandpas buy my grandson a remote plane or car every year so that all of the men can play with it! That salesman is a buzzkill!!!

It's raining again. I could do some laundry, bathe Annie, and I am listening to The Age of Miracles, an audiobook, for my next book disccussion group. It is so boring!

[Janet]

Not doing a whole lot today. Last night Rick and I went to town to the Hotdog Festival. There are lots of flea market booths and food booths and even a stage with entertainment right on the downtown square. We walked around the square once and then went to the Main Street Pub for supper. I had the Tilapia...it was so good. Rick was getting on my nerves so bad that we didn't stay and came back home.

This morning I started doing laundry and cleaned up a nice old oak table I bought at the auction yesterday. I'm not sure what kind of table it is, kind of like an end table, but I love it and only paid $20 for it.

I was invited to go to concert today, but just didn't have the desire to go. I know I'm missing some great entertainment, but with Ricky working all the time now and looking for a house, I'm taking advantage of our time together. I really enjoy being with him. He is so funny.

[DianaB]

Sorry that I've been MIA!! It's been pretty busy here and when things do slow down Dean makes it impossible to be on the computer for long!! That child is into everything!!

Still have been going to the pond almost everyday to swim!! So nice!! Judy, I see that you're staying cool the same way!! Enjoy!!!

This last week had everyone out of town at one time or another. Glen and I were gone last weekend. Feyn, Tammy, and the kids left a week ago for San Antonio and are expected back this evening. Jaci and Nate went to Wyoming to visit some friends then traveled on to Yellowstone and made a big circle. They were gone almost a week. Amy's family and Dae Lynn's family have both been out of town. Whew!! It's been hard keeping up with everyone!!

While Amy's family was out of town yesterday I dog-sat their little poodle, Toby! He's a cutie!! Reuger treats him like he's in heat and absolutely won't leave him alone.......and while that's going on Jazzi's snapping at him. Poor little guy! So....Reuger spent most of the day in his kennel and with him locked up Jazzi was a lot better. He's probably a little over a year old and was so playful and cuddly! You could tell that he was ready for them to come back home.

Gayle.....you're on the go so much! One of these days I'm coming down there and just follow you around!! You do so much interesting stuff!! I hope you're having fun!!......and I'm glad that the Aliens didn't get you!!

Lindsey, the guys are NEVER too old for toys!! I still buy Glen things like that!! I have found that anything that flies only makes one flight!! Maybe two if you're lucky!! They are a waste of money......sad but true!!

Janet, How's the jaw feeling? And how is Ricky's house search coming? Is he getting serious about this house? We're waiting for news!!

Linda and Betsi.....we need to hear more about what's going on. How is Mike feeling since his surgery?

[Blueyes]

Hi everybody! Mike is doing just fine. He has more good days than bad, so that's a good thing.

I went wedding dress shopping this week with my niece, Casey. We found a beautiful dress for her backyard wedding, which is Oct. 27th. She and Micah are head over heels in love. They are both 32, and ready to get married and start a family. I'm so happy for them! Casey has always been like a daughter to me, and I love her dearly!

I spent this week redecorating a night stand for my room. It was one of those brown wooden things that I have had for 35 years, lol! It almost went to the dump, but it came out really cute!
