PIO - not to beliddle you but 5.2 is a piece of cake, it needs to be over 6 to turn heads!
2 days of discussion in Melbourne because it is so rare. And I've been in San Francisco during a 7.2 (epicenter was way north of the Bay Area). It barely shook the building, lasted less than 10 seconds and barely rated a mention. 
It really is too bad that she was not able to find assisted living housing that was affordable. 
I agree a lifeline would be great, but I hear ya on the "would she know to push it if she needed to". Bless your heart, it is so hard to sit back and see things like this happen.
I know, right?
That is a problem. A friend of ours did the same thing. He panicked and laid on the ice for hours.
Sunday he will be helping Dan plant a hedgerow so Erica will make sure he gets a meal.
. My only experience with that word is "if there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now....". 
Dan is planting a row of arborvitaes where his fence was. I hate them, Buddy planted one between our yard and the neighbor in back of us and it always looks shabby. He hates fences, I love them!
I so cannot wait for vacation. 
Good morning all,
Nan ~ Safe travels. Have a good time.
I love my crockpot on days that I don't want to heat my house up. If you need some good recipes - I have a few.
Alison ~ Prayers continue.
It is nice out this morning, but tomorrow it is supposed to be back in the high 90's maybe even into the 100's.
Tonight is the Toby Keith concert. I can't wait. I have looked forward to this all week. I have my red solo cup ready.
As soon as the concert is over we are heading to Lincoln (unless we are just too pooped). Doug, Marty and Matthew are playing in a Golf Benefit for a cousin of Marty's. She is battling cancer and there is a huge benefit with golf, auction and dinner tomorrow. I sure hope they can help this family. She is only 32 and a mother of 2 small children. So sad. Stephanie, Lilly and I are cleaning - I mean DEEP cleaning Matthew's apartment. His filthy, scuzzy, good for nothing roomate finally moved out. We can't wait to get in there and get it cleaned up. Tomorrow night we will all go to the dinner and some fun after.
Sunday is Ethan's 8th birthday. WOW, how did that happen. I can't believe he is 8 already. So we have to be home early because his party and dinner is at 6. We got him a new scooter with sparks. Cool!!
So as you can see I have another busy weekend that will again go way to fast and I will be back to work on Monday before I know it. But in the mean time I am going to have a ball.
WFDT ~ Subway sandwiches on the way to the concert.
Make it a great weekend everybody!!!
I swear this will never end! Crazy busy here and no end in sight. I usually like my summer because it is a lot less crazy but not this one.
I think tonight we'll make a crispy chicken dinner with wilted spinach and fingerling potatoes.It's gonna be yummy...
Afterwards we have dinner and drinks at a local restaurant on the patio and listened to the bands play at the celebration.

Good times!! 
I wish I could be as organized as you are with menu's, and as yummy sounding.
Had a pretty fun day yesterday. Did some work for a little bit then helped give out cupcakes at a city birthday celebration. 600 cupcakes gone in less than 20 minutes.
Today was spent cleaning, doing laundry and getting things together for my trip. Will pack tomorrow night and get my van ready for the trip, hope to have everything done so I don't have to worry about anything but getting work done the rest of the week. And hope to have all that done by Thursday so Friday can be "clean my messy office" day.
Welcome!! Your dinner sounds so good.
Brandi ~ I got no pictures - my phone died. The concert was in a rain delay for 2 1/2 hours. We were soaked to the bone. But we were troopers and stuck it out. He played till 1:30 am. It was awesome!!!
PIO ~ enjoy DS vacation. Sounds like a good time.
Merle ~ Safe travels and I hope you get everything done.
Alison ~ so what did you decide for dinner? The Chicken sounds amazing.....please share.
Nan ~ I filled my cup.....and your cup......and everyones cup.
Doug and I are both just pooped this morning. We had a GREAT weekend and yes it went to fast but man we are tired. I worked my fanny off!! But his apartment looks and smells SOOOOOO much better.
We raised over $9000.00 for Karen & Justin. WooHoo!! It was a complete success.
We were a bit late for Ethan's Birthday party, but the good thing is that by the time we got there the "EVIL" MIL was leaving. Jay's Mom is a real number!!! I really can't stand her. There aren't too many people on this planet that I don't like. But she is one of them. I just hate the way she treats my daughter. But bless Elizabeth's heart she puts up with her because even so she is the boys Grandmother and she does love them. Even if it is a really strange way. But Elizabeth stands her ground and that really p***es her off. Ok rant over sorry****************!!!
Anyway, we had a really nice evening with them.
I had to come to work to rest!! We are getting ready for our Church Garage Sale that will be on Saturday. This is the BIG fundraiser for the Panama Mission Trip so of course I am in charge. A really busy week!!
WFDT ~ Tuna salad sandwiches, chips and watermelon.
Make it a great day!!
