(Notice Lori on the phone - I think I have abotu 10 pictures on the phone - she was frantically trying to find her little boy Troy. I'll share more as we go along.)The only surprise here is that one of us is actually writting here! If you girls are like me, I check every day or so to see if there is anything going on and am always disappointed that there isn't.
What's going on with everyone?
I'm on my lunch hour and doing some surfing, with the heating pad on my back. This darn back problem has been hanging around for quite a while this time. My friend at work gave me some muscle relaxers and I'm going home and 'relax.'
The bathroom project is coming along nicely - even if it's a little slow. Hopefully, by the end of next week it will be finished. The cabinet we ordered was damaged in shipment so we have to start all over with that part.
Virginia's estate is starting to have a little bit of activity. The farm appraised at $118,000. I was a bit surprised - thought it might be a little more. I believe it will get auctioned (rather than given to a realtor). The heir search people have made their report to the attorney, he has to file it and then the Court will determine the distribution. Still will take months, I'm sure.
We took the RV to Deer Creek this past Sunday. Baby steps. There is so much crap one has to know about the water, the pump, the generator, the leveling system, the frig, the lp gas thingy. We were going to go for the weekend this coming Friday but decided to try to get some projects finished at the house and study a little more. It will be fun when we take a real trip. Baby steps.
We have a new foster doggy - Lance. He is just so sweet but he barks a lot. He also slobbers EVERYWHERE. He may have a nasal problem because the other day he came in from a walk and had this H U G E string of S N O T hanging from his nostril - about 8" worth, I'm sure. YUCK! (I tried to get that above picture to be right here but couldn't figure out how to do that - does anyone know?)
Dan and I worked at the Memorial Tournament and had the most fun making sandwiches. We were at a table with 4 brothers doing their "brothers weekend" so you know that got my wheels turning. I told them we Sisters would challenge them to a sandwich making contest next year and they were all for it! Of course, I don't even remember their names now though. They were mature at the same level as us girls - which was not at all.
I love you girls and hope we can keep this up again for a little while.
Talk to me!
Lizzie
Yay, Lizzie! I was delighted to see this post. I have to blog on my To Do list. Been there for a month or more.
ReplyDeleteI love the pic from the race. Thanks for posting it. Thanks for the nice blog entry. I hope to write up something interesting one of these days. Right now I am a little on the dull side. But watch out when I get my mojo back.
Love the doggie pic too.
Love you all my wonderful Sisters of High Hopes.
Hey Lizzie and all....was so great to see the blog activity.
ReplyDeleteWhen I look at the pictures from the race it warms my heart. Only thing is our Sister of the Highest Hopes was unable to participate this year. Just wait till next year, Diane will kick butt prancing proudly along and boogie woogie-ing to all the bands along the way. You might even jump on one of those Harley Hawgs - the motorcyle that is.
I too have looked almost every day to see if someone has posted something. Thanks Liz for taking the initiative to chat a bit.
Lance is beautiful, but I am not so sure about all that slobber and snot. Yuk! I remember Beau and how he would shake his head and shower everyone within reach. I would continuously have to wipe down the walls. I do want to go see Marmaduke at the movies. Beau always reminded me of Marmaduke with some of his antics.
We talked and talked about getting a rescue dog, but the more we talked the more we talked ourselves out of it. We are always on the go amd doggie would be home a lot by itself. I guess that sounds pretty selfish. If the right one presents itself we might do it.
I am getting my things ready to go to El Paso on Saturday. I am getting excited about going. Not the bowling, but being able to see Nancy.
I had planned on coming to Ohio the first week in July, but Barb called and said that was a good week for her to come for a week so I will shoot for the second or third week. I am aching to get up there and hang out with my sisters and Gordon. A week of Barb Earl will be ready for some peace and quiet. The two of them are constantly challenging one another's opinions. I plan on keeping her at the beach everyday. I just got a big beach umbrella so we can chill out there at the beach.
I guess I could have put all this in a blog, but it is part of the blog...right?
I love all of you Sisters of High Hopes and wouldn't it be fun to join Liz making sandwiches at the Memorial Tournament? Let's do it.
Strange, we all look at the blog every day but no one blogs anymore. Thanks Lizzie for getting it started!
ReplyDeleteLance is beautiful! I don't think I could take the slobbering...ewwww
Our cat Zeus got a wild hair up his ass for a few days last week. He was hateful to Lauren and bit Randy on the hand! He's ok now though.
We are getting the farm ready to sale now. cleaning, getting rid of stuff(and do we have ALOT of stuff)and downsizing. Randy is very interested in moving to German Village for a few years until he retires. I like the idea!
Liz, let us know when you go out on your road trip... we'd love to go too!
It was really good to see you Diane, I have been so bad lately with my communication skills, I plan on working on that.
Lori, when you come to town, we should all get together for a nice relaxing sisters get together at the lake. This will be the last time we could do it there, the buyers are taking it the last week of August.
So good to hear from you all... I love you girls!
