it's snowing here, just got done filling up the bird feeders..looks like we are going to get quite a bit of snow...but i love it! wishing you a really nice tuesday...marykay
We had over and inch of rain yesterday with a beautiful 30 minute Texas rain storm. It was a warm front moving up from South Texas. Needless to say, the grass was a little more than wet and the girls weren't interested in going out.
When we get lots of rain, especially when the ground is already soaked, we have a river that runs through the entire back yard. Then around 6:30 am this morning, we had a cool front come through moving at 55 mph. It only took 10 minutes to get another .8" of rain. It was magnificent with lots of lightning (which I love). BUT, guess what...
The SUN is shining for the first time in about 5 days and that is a very long time for us in Texas. So here is to a Blessed week for all of us!
Another dreary day but tomorrow it is supposed to rain. So how is your weekend going so far? Guess I'll just have some peppermint tea and read my kindle book.
Hello happy weekend. Pleasant weather here . Got my new IPad in this week and my grandson came to get it set up for me. He drove round trip about 120 miles and only took him about 20 minutes to do it. He downloaded the stuff in the old one to the cloud then put it in the new one. Sure is nice to have your own in house tech support. The old one was about 13 years old, kept crashing and running very slow. Enjoy your day and stay happy.....George
I have lost count of how long it has been since we have seen the sun. Not much measurable rain; maybe 1/2" rain in 4 days or so. But I NEED sun and sunshine. We have a chance for sun on Monday or Tuesday, that's it for the next 10 days. So I just go to my pictures that are bright and cheerful.
I can't wait for my lemons to finish ripening. Nothing as good as fresh lemonade. So here is to Friday. Hope your weekend is full of Blessings!
hi there, how's your week been going? it's a beautiful day here, but really cold. but i'm glad the sun is shinning. hope your day is happy and peaceful..hugs..marykay
I promised you a picture of my girls. Nicole is 13 and will be 14 later this year. Michelle is going to be 12 in less than a month. Oh wait, you can't see Michelle.
It only took 4 tries to get a picture where Michelle's face was showing. Yes, they love each other and have fun. Nicole is the tallest in her class and Michelle is the shortest in her class.
Goodness, I am blessed! Wayne and Evelyn will have been married 22 years in just a few days. So I am looking forward to seeing your family soon.
So excited that my girls are coming this afternoon. So lots of cleaning, washing, and straightening up going on here. Can't wait to hear how your week is going and what you have been getting into already. My oldest granddaughter got a phone and we have been having sticker wars. So much fun and looking forward to comparing apps. As usual, I am sending
Yesterday was a bad hair day. We had winds between 40 & 50 mph. It was one of those days where you could hardly get the car door open and then it would try to blow off the hinges. As I was getting in with my hair blowing every direction and shutting the car door, my hair got caught in the door. I had to get the door open again and get my hair out in order to move my head without loosing a lot of hair. Ok, just a strand or two. Gotta love Texas weather. Today is calmer with some sun and even though the rain is coming next week, we should have highs in low 50's to mid 60's for the next 10 days. So, if you don't like your weather come on over for a visit and we will sit on the back porch with blue skies and let all our worries drift with the clouds as we watch the birds fly by.
Hello happy weekend for you. Cool nights here then warming up into the 50's and 60's. Went the other day for the Corona 19 vaccination and had no adverse affects at all then go back first of February for the second. have a great weekend and start for the new week.....George
good morning! hope you had a nice week...we are getting more snow here...2 to 4 inches...i don't have to go anywhere so going to enjoy it..have a lovely friday...much love marykay
Running late today having a lot of busy things going on. Did manage to get my covid 19 vaccination though. Hope all is doing well for you so take care and enjoy the rest of the week....George
Each day we start with temperatures just cold enough that my plants that are covered or in garage will not like it uncovered or outside. But we are going to chance it for a day or two. Hopefully we don't get a surprise freeze, even though I don't think any meteorologist in the Dallas area can predict the weather accurately. Then if it is warm enough, I might cut back some things that got burned in the last freeze. But I would rather sit down and read. I have a great Christian fiction book on my kindle that is calling my name.
So what ever you decide to do today, share your smile with someone who needs it. Oh, and that housecleaning Fairy did get lots of stuff thrown out but my goodness there is so much more to do.
Talk about the perfect snow. On Sunday we accumulated 1-1/2" of snow and a few hours later it was gone. But wasn't it beautiful? Big, puffy flakes. Surrounding areas got more and built snowmen in special Texas fashion.
So now it is back to cleaning, cooking and paying bills. We are still pretty cold at night but nice temps as long as you aren't in the wind during the day.
So here I am checking to see what you have been doing and
Can't wait for our next visit. Hope you don't mind if I cut this one short and get busy.
I'm off to find the house cleaning fairy and tell her to get back to work. Thank you for all the bulletins you post. We are holding steady and prepared.
Good day to you and wishing you a great weekend. Been warm here but going to have to put the plants under cover as we have some freezing temps coming in.Wife is still in hospital but may get to go to rehab Monday.Poor girl fell Tuesday and has hairline fracture on right shoulder and hip. You enjoy your weekend and keep the feet warm....George
Ok... tomorrow is finally Friday... probably by the time you are reading this. I am so tired at 5 pm I unlocked the door as I was leaving work instead of locking it. I love getting out of the house and I love working with Kelly. I love learning and helping others. But working a week in a row is hard when you aren't use to doing it.
Now weather it is raining or shining I am hoping that you have had a most blessed week. Most of all I want to thank you for stopping by and visiting with me as I always look forward to your visits and hearing about your day.
a very good day to you and hoping all is well . Been having unusual warm weather here being short sleeve type. We really don't have but an occasional freeze like some of you with the snow. Enjoy the rest of the week and stay safe....George
OK, so I retired over 5 years ago and my Financial Advisor and friend since 7th grade told me if I wanted to keep busy I should be an On Call for Edward Jones. So I applied and was hired. The first year was a learning curve doing the training and putting my name out there. I don't remember how much I worked that year but I have worked at 10-12 different offices over the years. The second year I worked just under 1000 hours. The third year over 800 hours. I had over 200 hours before covid hit last year and still ended up with amost 350 hours. After covid started I only worked at one office, my home branch, and decided that I was tired of traveling 20-30 miles one way to different offices in traffic anyway. My home branch is 8 miles one way.
This morning my phone rang and Kelly, FA of my home branch, called and asked if I wanted to work because she was sending Tisha home sick. The picture above is how my day went! I know I am working tomorrow and was already scheduled to work on Wednesday. I might work the whole week and maybe longer. Time will tell. So if you don't hear from me, please don't panic. I'll check in when I can. Edward Jones is a great place to work part time or full time... Thank goodness I have a wonderful Hubby that can help at home, even though he doesn't know how to turn the computer on let alone pay bills online.
My how time flys when you are having fun. Where do the days go? Thank you for stopping by my place even when I just can't seem to get here.
I hope you know how much your friendship means to me. We had over 4" of rain the past 3 days. But this morning the clouds were breaking up and the sun is now shining. So I hope you enjoy my morning picture.
