Home is behind, the world ahead, |

God Bless Tim and his family.
Heh, but a vacuum cleaner is not a nice present unless it is specifically requested. Even if you really need a vacuum... I know someone who was given a new screen door as a birthday present once from her husband. She wasn't too pleased.
For future reference on presents, in case my future husband (impossibly) is lurking:
Kitchen appliances and utensils and gadgets and such: good.
Cleaning gadgets and appliances that aren't specifically asked for: baaad.
Oh man...really sorry to hear this. Will certainly be praying.
Hey, it ain't impossible! That he's posting, pretty unlikely, but we are being watched you know...
Attention lurkers, there's an excellent hobbit-lass who is possibly interested in a man of the best quality... submit your applications to RosieCotton in person... also take note that she does not want cleaning gadgets as presents...
Hmm, my mom and I were going to get my brother a vaccuum for his birthday - which is next Monday.
That's sad news indeed, prayers for his family and comrades. OB & LSA
I swear I am not making this up.
I'm waiting to hear from Jr. He's been at work today. His car won't start. ~Of course~ it's in the parking lot at King's Dominion.
Triple A tow truck driver is there. I'm waiting to see if they can get it started or if I'll have to meet him at the garage.
I'd promised myself I'd get to bed early.
~sigh~
Well dang... Hopefully he just left the lights on or something!
Reminds me, I really oughta re-up my AAA membership soon...
Heh. I wouldn't have been either!
I'll see y'all sometime late on Monday.
How did that work out? Oh dear...
Happy Friday, all. That was a less than terribly painful week.
One of two main possibilities is likely to happen today:
(1) I will finish work at a reasonable hour, come home, clean up 'n' change, and get back on the road to be with my sweetie, or
(2) I will get some good overtime, come home, and go over there in the morning.
Sometime Saturday morning I will pick her up at her house and take her up to Frankenmuth, a decent half-way point between D-town and Mom's town, to meet Mom. We plan to meet at noon at a prominent local landmark.
After what I expect will be a nice lunch and pleasant afternoon, there are again two main possibilities:
(1) I will take my sweetie back to her town and stay through Sunday afternoon, or
(2) I will bring her here to stay with me (overnight with our mutual friends) through Sunday afternoon, when she will hitch a ride with other mutual friends back to her home.
Next weekend is difficult to foresee at this time...
What a nice plan for the weekend! Have fun! Keep us posted...
Well, did you have to go?
~sip~
Good morning :~D
Have a good time this weekend XGI :~)
A vacuum cleaner's a great present if you need one. I got one as a present... from my dad once.
My dad once got my mom an anchor and fifty feet of anchor chain for the boat... for her birthday :)
Only as far as the garage to pick him up...and pay the tow truck driver. They tried to jump it, but the engine wouldn't turn over. Prayers up that it's something simple (and not too spendy).
Prayers for a safe trip Suzi, we're thinking about you and your family.
Prayers for your weekend too XGI.
Luke is in NC. Jr. leaves for Brazil tonight. Wife goes to FL on Sunday. It'll be just me and Nana.
She can stay as long as she remembers to close the bathroom door. I don't ~care~ if she thought no one else was home, or upstairs. She's been told there are people in nursing homes that will ~help~ you close the bathroom door...
I'm just sayin is all.
~sip~
~chuckling~ :~)
