Pea Love the pictures of the doggies. They are so cute and sweet. Hope your DH is doing well as well as DD and DS. I hope you are not working too hard and have some time to relax.

Good morning. It is 46 here with rain. It is supposed to stop this afternoon and go into the 50s. Yesterday I walked at the lake and around the complex. Such a nice day. I videochatted with Jeff and his kids. They are having a nice school vacation week. I will be seeing them today. I hope to see Kenny and his kids this weekend as it has been a while. They were with their mom during the vacation week. I plan to go clothes shopping for Chris's cousin this weekend. I am counting down the days until my trip, 3 weeks now so I am getting things even more ready.

Have a good day.

Peait is such an extra Saturday blessing to see you back. You have been in all our prayers. I believed in God's perfect time if it was His will you would be back. You are a Quacker and He connected and has kept all of us together. Great pictures, thank you.

More later. For now, Saturdayto all.

Good morning. Seeing @Pea-n-Me and me back on our thread made me so happy this morning!

Sunny and going to be gorgeous. It figures. Last weekend I wasn't expecting them, barely awake, not dressed, and they got here at 7:45. This morning I was up and dressed, cats fed, windows opened, car across the street at 7, and now it's 8:30 and no sign of them yet.

I've already gotten the hand sander out and sanded the live edge shelves Dave made me for the computer room and am putting a coat of polyurethane on them now. I have the kitchen rugs in the wash and then I'm going to vacuum the kitchen and bathrooms and swiffer the floors.

I mowed again last night, I can't keep up with the grass growing so quickly

Have a great Saturday.

Our last day on the road. We are scheduled on the 4 something CM -Lewes ferry, sometimes we make the earlier one. We’ll see. If we make the earlier one, we can get Gus today. Looking forward to seeing the fish, and hopefully resolving their issue. Happy Saturday, everyone!

I was going through a box of memories and came across the "thank you for visiting" mail that WDW used to send out, which made me think about Disney, and this lovely blog, and our upcoming trip for my DS high school graduation. I hope you are all doing well and had a quick catch-up by reading back through some pages!

Many of you must have received the thank you sketches from Don "Ducky" Williams over the years. I'm sure it's one of the many extra perks that have been cut now, but does anyone have an idea of how many years they did that? I have a signed Minnie and a Mickey from our 2015 and 2016 trips, framed on my wall!

I tried to do a bit of a search and found that they stopped in 2019, but I don't know how many years they ran that program. It was such a nice surprise to get a thick envelope in the mail with a thank you gift!

 

[bobbiwoz]

I seem to remember “Thank you cards” for DCL cruises. I came across some in a desk drawer awhile ago. I had an idea to frame them, but I never did.

I have a Disney cabinet with all this stuff in it. Unfortunately, no order to any of it, although I did try to get magazine boxes for the Disney Files. I mean no order in the sense I don't know what cards arrived in which year, etc.

And, framing was on my mind to put some of the DVC stuff on the walls of this small room, especially the lthos we received years ago. Problem is Pooh took it over with 3 large framed prints all of which I love.

Well the tree is still there. I waited until almost 9:30 before I called and asked if they were coming. Dave said he had been calling Dave Jr, but getting no answer. So no tree cutting today. It was perfect weather until noon, then the winds came up. It's still sunny and warm, but they could have gotten those limbs down before it got windy. They can cut the main trunk of the tree wind or not. I'm hoping that they come tomorrow.

Instead I painted a small bench that Don had made that was sitting on the front porch, hooked up my new hose, tilled the new flower beds on either side of the new shed. Got the kitchen and bathroom floors washed and the rugs washed, and now I'm done for the day.

Nice to see you @Canadisney Fly .

Have a nice rest of the afternoon and evening.

 

[bobbiwoz]

We got on the earlier ferry! We’ll be picking up Gus in a bit!

Also glad to see you, Canadisney Fly, thanks for checking in.

Lynn, prayers you got some rest yesterday, my friendWelcome home dear Bobbi and Tom and Gus, of course, too!

Hooray for Pooh art, Judique. I'd love to see a picture if you want to share. Thank you.

Pea, so thankful you are back!

Good afternoon hugs to all.

I love the Aisle of Shame myself!

My favorite aisle in the store. I bought a hose there last week for $20, which is 10x better than the one I paid $50 for at Walmart and had to return. I bought myself and Summer portable wheel barrels there a few weeks ago, $35 compared to the $80 and up ones at Lowes and Amazon. You never know what they'll have on sale there!

@Pea-n-Me As I was scrolling thru the posts I had to do a double take at yours. Thinking, Pea is back.? Yes!

 

[PollyannaMom]

Welcome back, @Pea-n-Me! We've definitely missed you, and the pup's eclipse pics are adorable!! Glad to hear it was just a break.

Nighty Night friends with love always.

 

[Dead2009]

I am up way too early on a Sunday.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Good Morning Everyone,

Dead, I hope you did get some rest.

I had a longer night. I enjoyed a Christmas movie called Christmas Grace. It's the story of how God used a small town toy shop owner, his wife, and others in the community to help heal the heart of a rival mega toy store owner. It was well done and definitely feel good.

I look forward as always to watching online worship later.

Wishing all of you a happy day.

 

[Snowysmom]

@Dead2009 Welcome to early Sunday morning. It is a great time for a walk!

Pea I like the Aldi's picture. I will have to ask Kenny about the Aldi's he sometimes goes to. So glad to see your post.

Bobbiwoz Glad you got the early ferry so you could get Gus.

Lynn I hope Dave is over today to cut down more of the tree.

It is sunny today but temp is only 39. It will be going into the 50s. I have been to Wegman's, took a walk, made some scrambled eggs for breakfast, and now am thinking of going to the Lake to walk then to Kohls. I may also go to the Paper Store to see if I can find a crafty gift for Ellie's birthday in June. I have a 30% off coupon to use. Not seeing anyone today. I saw Jeff and kids yesterday. We played a couple of games. I got Charlotte a Tea Party game for her birthday where you stack teacups of different sizes based on the cards you draw. The object is to get all the teacups stacked on the wiggling platform before any fall off. We got it done once. Then I went to Kenny's to see his kids. He invited me to dinner. We had barbecued burgers and hot dogs. My favorite when the weather gets warmer.

Have a good Sunday.

I wasn't up early. I knew they weren't coming today, so my friend and I stayed on the phone until almost 3 my time (1 hers). I was awake but still in bed when my phone rang at 8:30. It was Dave saying it was my lucky day, they were coming to get the tree down. He thought Dave Jr had tickets to a mud bog or something but got a call last night saying he wasn't going so they could do the tree. He didn't think to call me or text me to tell me that last night? Men!
Dave got here at 8:45 and Dave Jr just pulled in

It's cloudy and only 42 degrees right now, going to be cloudy and 56 today. As long as there's no wind or rain, we're good.

Gotta get myself moving and feed the cats. All I managed to do was get dressed, take pills, and move the car across the street

Have a nice Sunday (have to do without a pic today, sorry)
