Best/Worse/what did I learn today? Come sit a bit n chat

HURRAH!!! Barb. Don't think you could ask for better news.

Wow, that IS good news Barb. God Bless

I did a short photo blog about an RV that went swimming yesterday. All the news helicopters drew me there. Take a look ---> http://dailypics.ning.com/profiles/blogs/650124:BlogPost:1104219
Here's a teaser pic.
Andy P

It reminds me of an incident here a few years ago. The milk truck fell in the river. No pictures. kb

Ohhh found the blog so very interesting..hope the gentleman survived his attack and the dip in the pool..how terrifying for him. Will go back to the blog and read up

Tks Andy

Andy, that was all over the news up here yesterday....the Good Afternoon America crew thought it quite humerus.

Betty, the person driving escaped unharmed....and begged to be unnamed on the incident he was so embarrassed.

I knew I saw that story but couldn't remember where. Thanks for the reminder Deb. GAA is where I saw it.... What amazes me is watching the cranes work to get it out!!!!

Thanks Debbie, thank goodness he was ok!!!

Reminds me of a story, friend of ours was at big chute marina, he was in construction, did a lot of work for the Marina..was going in to deliver the invoice, parked his suv, guess it wasn't totally in gear, rolled down the encline,into the lake..hit a boat...said he was so embarrassed and nobody recognized the suv so he just sat quietly on the bench down near where the suv went in watching all the fuss, yep tv station as well..only after big equipment was brought in and vehicle back up on the hill did he acknowledge it was his. Lol

Well, I've got bags packed, groceries in gor Cathy and the furries..treats for all..took down all the hanging plants, put them under the gazebo..easier for her to water..money for her to use at the pizza/hamburger place should she not want to cook (know that's what I would do..checked out the ring I bought her from a boutique in the Gaylord Opryland hotel last year, mental note to self so if I see earrings that match I'll get them for her as a thank you..

Waiting for load of laundry to dry then off to bed..tomorrow will be a long day!

Waving to all

Barb, I know, it is amazing no one was hurt. And thank heavens no one was in the pool swimming!

How are you feeling? Do you feel better from the gallbladder being gone?? I remember waking up from surgery hungry! lol

I see that the driver is ok - glad to see that!!

Barb - what WONDERFUL news!!!

All the success in the world for you, Katie!! So you have another "sleep" until you leave - you're going to do juuuu-ust fine! You have all our prayers to guide you and the surgeon!

Well, time to get ready for tomorrow's heading out to the campground! I leave work at Noon, unpack Bob's stuff from the truck, then repack it with camping gear! Then it's 2 1/2 hours to the campground, and time to set up our tent(s?). We usually have a "living" tent, and a "dining" tent too, in case of inclement weather. It's supposed to be hot and beautiful in the sun this whole weekend!

Betty, you didn't tell me you were going back to Opry Land. sniff sniff.

Oh Debbie but I did the other day..mentioned how I'll be missing the smile on your face as you watched the entertainment..will be seeing Carrie Underwood. Sniff sniff

Lenny, Suzanne's hubby, Judy and Steve met him just called, can't figure out why we are taking the route we are taking?? Wanted to give me the more direct route. DAH. DOUBLE DAH. He's never travelled with me before, so laughing, just ask Crissy and Debbie! Listened but doubtful I will take his suggestions, other than one, bypass Cleveland that has highway work being done.

Hope you have nice camping weather Susan, will be watching breakfast television to see what your weather will be like.

Hmmm still up, forgot to bag the seeds I so diligently worked on for Joanna, BJ, Joyce, Bertie and Mary, the rest I'll mail from here to whoever wanted some..so have all the info cards done, seeds bagged and I can't think of anything else..

Katie, Prayers go with you on your trip for both travel and operation.

Nobody will miss me as the iPad will let me chat.

Going to try this sleep thing

Packing...pick me up at the bridge. OH HOW I WISH!!!!

Pictures for me Betty!!!

Sorry, sorry, sorry....I should have been here sooner!

The pond tour was good, probably about 50 people. Much better than last year since I didn't have a broken leg!

Betty, I'm so excited to see you and Suzanne.....you're still welcome to come here on Friday night if it's not too far for you!

You'll be able to see the six new kitties who now have their eyes open. Ohhhh they are so sweet!

This is the picture the Water Society photographer took on Saturday. It will be on the back of the annual calendar.

I think I recognize some of those rocks! LOL I can't drive past a rock quary or large garden without thinking about you. That is just beautiful.

Lovely picture...subject matter too for that fact.

Have a fun trip Betty! Cookie, I love that photo! Looks like a very peaceful place! Glad you had a good turn out on the garden tour!

remember Betty - Pincher Creek, Alberta........ SW of Calgary. Supposed to be Great weather this weekend - Sun, and hot! 29/30/29c for high Sat/Sunday/Mon

Morning all..

Been out watering this mornimg , hate to leave all my phlox, Lordy they are putting on a show..going to vacuum, wash the floors and then sit and wait for Suzanne's call to pick her up..bags at the door, everythink according to plan. Lol

Debbie, back seat is empty, trip will be stress free and filled with laughter..short run from your place to Joann's/Lewiston for pick up..

Joyce, love the photo, gorgeous waterfall..I'll post later tonight to let you know how far we got..sure hope Paul remembers we hinted about leaving noon or one rather than 3pm...cross your fingers!! Have your bags packed...

Waving to all...on a mission, will gab when I get to barrie

Betty, travel safely....no travels for me right now. Too much happening here and I shall be there vicariously through your travels.

Oh I would love to join you, don't think I didn't consider it! Hubby's family will be here starting Monday and the family reunion is here at our place on Saturday. :o( Just can't do it this time.
I'm with Debbie, I'll be with you both in spirit!

Thanks for the kudos, Ladies. It is a labor of love for sure.

(Think Betty will put one of those cool rocks from her garden in the car for me?????

Safe travels Betty. Have a blast!!!!!

Betty, when do you plan to be in Pensacola? If it is over a weekend and no problems with my Mom, Kim and I might consider driving over maybe for a dinner at McGuires. Not sure of the spelling need to check that.

Thanks Dianne..

Now Joyce, you should have asked me earlier this morning for a rock, hmmm maybe there is one in the parking lot lol

We will be in New Orleans (all going to plan) Tuesday night/Wednesday night and leaving sometime early afternoon on Thursday..keep an eye on the thread and I'll post my goings on and route, who knows where I could end up..

It is hot as blue blazes here. Tony and I are gradually packing the van and going over my needless reminders to him. Except he hadn't noticed that there are some almost-ripe papayas.

Not enough going on so we have had an ant invasion, especially in the microwave. I also have two left foot Crocs, the rights are missing.

No big deals.

Safe travels, everyone.

hugs, katie

I'm sure it's quite a chore to make sure you've everything, and, everything looked after seeing you are leaving for an unknown amount of time. Does Tony have a telephone that you will be able to call and check up on things???

how on earth could you have two croc's same foot, bet the furries had something to do with it.

They are sooo comfortable.

Leaving mine at home..drats, when all the DG girls were at the house I was all dressed and into town and not one told me I was wearing hot lime green crocks and they didn't match my outfit lol

Waiving hi...Wishing all the Travelers a safe and wonderful times.
Katie, will keep you in my prayers for surgery to go very well.

Hope you all are having a great week, keep cool/dry and having lots of fun with all projects!

I'm dashing back to Huber, just dropping back home for a few and realized i didn't post a safe journey.

Yay, its Friday.

Waving Judy!!!

Wishing you all safe journeys, good health and a sweet weekend. Perhaps we will all get a respite from the heat. I hope something nice happens for each of you in the coming days and that you all remember to Pay it forward.

Will do Jean...

ok..countdown is on..Paul told us we can leave at noon...oh happy day!

Fifteen more minutes!!!!

Travel safely

And she is off!!!

Camping (tenting) stuff's packed and sitting on the deck, waiting for a bit of Bob's input, and his packing of the truck..... it's after 2pm, and he's still heading home. He ran some errands after work, and should be home soon........
Rain's stopped and should be sunny & warm/hot the rest of the holiday weekend!

chat with you on Monday evening!! (psssst bringing my laptop - may chat this weekend!)

Have a grand time Susan...be safe.

Well, I haven't heard a thing.....wonder if they're still on the road, or sacked out somewhere! So excited to be having coffee with them tomorrow morning. Hope all is going well for them.

Make sure you give them hugs from all of us! And maybe sneak one of those little kitties in her bag! ^_^

Oh we ate at Mcguires tonight ...Destin not Pensacola but YUMMY!
Highly recommend...
Having fun
Safe travels all!

Oh Mary, I just love Destin! Such a beautiful little town! So glad you arrived safely.

Betty hasn't checked in yet....hmmmm. Bet they are zonked out!!

Sweet dreams

Morning all, lol

Long trip, those darn Canadians don't know how to stay home, border crossing 1 1/2 hrs. Temp registered 99' Suzanne thought it a good idea to shut a/c because of sitting and idling...

near Erie major highway work so loss about another 1 1/2 so put us quite a bit later than expected.. Then stopped for gas then eats, kikely 1/2 hr..listened to friday night grand ole opry on radio, we sang to allthe tunes..wasnt a bad ride all and all..shared equal driving..now safely tucked in just south if Columbus Ohio.

Joyce will post approx time we leave here..about 100 miles from you..think we have to take a sidecut across country to get to main route ie I 75

Waving to all

Night night

Won't be long now! OH YAY!

Morning..Joyce any suggestions how to branch off for Franklin coming from Columbus??

We are about 10 minutes from leaving hotel then we'll grab eats and off we go
