It was in the high 60's here today! Felt like summer- going to feel like winter by the weekend.
Kim, oh to be young and brave. Good advice to check into lodging.
Joshmom, yea! state quarter-finals-wow! Is the game nearby or will you be traveling this weekend? Good Luck!!!
Blondie, aww, hugs for everything-wish you could be dress shopping-I feel so bad for you. And you fell! ouch! I'm so sorry things are not good for you right now. Hang in there, something will give and it Will get better again. Praying for a speedy recovery and , oh yes, Kim is right about work. Only so much you can do.

Blondie, I missed your post. Prayers are going up for a speedy recovery. How did you dislocate a shoulder and elbow? That takes talent.
Don't stress about work. It's not worth it.

Blondie - {{{{{HUGS}}}}} things will get better - you are strong and will overcome. Prayers & positive vibes headed your way!!!!
Nice to hear from you Kim...."Far Reach Trail" I like the sound of that but I'm a country girl so to me it sounds like a really neat place! Anxious for the little one to get here!
Well my sons football team won and are now District Champs and this Saturday they play in the state quarter finals - wish us luck! I'm nervous about this one!!! Plus it's going to be very cold - even snow in our forecast...brrrrrr

Happy belated birthday Blondie.
Prayers for all those involved in the car accidents. That is always a scary thing.
Congrats Joshmom. Sounds exciting.
My news: My sailor (navy recruiter) accepted a transfer that was 40 miles away. He has had to drive every day because he couldn't get out of his lease. The navy will pay for his move and his lease must be broken if he is moved 50 miles. He could have moved November 1st but they couldn't find a place. They are finishing up the paperwork and are renting a house somewhere in the forest in Putnam Valley NY. It will take 1/2 hour to get to the hospital at West Point to deliver the baby. I have no idea of what the roads are like but their street is call Far Reach Trail. Yikes! I told him to look into lodging at West Point and head there at the first sign of labor. I will post pictures later.

HI
Love teh costumes!!! So cute, hope their candy bags over flowed. Sorry about teh cold, maybe Blondie's flu shots would help you :).
Fingers crossed for your son's team Josh!!! Maybe his team will win like the Packers did over the Bears.
Blondie like your idea better - celebrate every Friday of teh month of your birthday and then re coop on the weekend. Smart lady you are :).
Hey - finally - got the bedroom painted. Well almost. The new color was so light going on over the white primer - could not see where we missed spots. And are there spots! But it is brighter and we should be done tonight or tomorrow. then all I have to paint is the living area.
Me too - I hope dil soon feels how pretty as she looks. And son just went for an interview. Fingers crossed.
Need to get along and get packed up for scouts.
Wish all a great day.
