I agree - SO glad Blondie Jr is being cared for.

ok- I am asking all here to help with sending healing to Blondie Jr. At 8 pm your time - place your hands over your kidneys - feel the warmth and relax. then say Healing energy coming your way Blondie Jr. And if anyone else here is a Reiki Master join in! With all of us together maybe we can give her teh boost she needs. Hugs Blondie - Pan Moms are coming together.

HI Nita !!!!! So glad you came back and "jumped in the water"! Ok - do some more jumping - we love gossip :) Guess what I am a Grandma too! My first grandson - Riker was born January 27th. Yes, I am spoiling very well.

Josh glad ot know you are safe. Here too, we were so scared. We knew about the coming severe thunder storm - BUT oh did that change in a blink. I was home babysitting Riker. Oldest son got home form worked and asked if the weather band was going off - I told him yes, as soon as I said that - off it goes again. He started planning on what to bring to the back storage area in the basement. Hubby got home soon after - at that point warnings went off and we all started moving some needed supplies ( baby and pet stuff) DIL walked int door shortly and as her foot hit hte door - the sirens went off - we got to teh safe area. Black skies - to green skies - clouds blocked the sun - WIND and then we heard about the first of the four tornadoes on the ground - 10 miles away from us. Then it was just a waiting game of when adn where those tornadoes were. Finally after nearly 2 hours we got the all clear. We are ok - but so sad for neighboring towns. My son's radio station is heading one of the many food/home supply drives.

Today -w as so weird. Cold - calm - then windy. Looking to rain. But so far it has not. One nice thing - birds singing sweetly and such fresh air.

Hope it has not rained Josh.

Need to split - Laundry Fairy visiting. hugs all

Comment by MaggieMay on April 9, 2015 at 10:28am: Blondie - glad your daughter is getting the care she needs. I love the way you and her always manage to smile...laughter is the best medicine! Continued prayers.

Wow what a day yesterday was here in the Midwest...bad bad thunderstorms! Haven't seen them like that in quite a while. Tornado warnings issued while I was still at work and it was just me and two bosses there and I'm thinking crap I don't want to be hunkered down in a closet with these two LOL luckily we didn't have to resort to that but the sky sure was scary looking...clouds going every which way. Took me forever to get home, water over the roads everywhere (actually seen trees going over road in one spot!) had to turn around and take different route home. Many people got hail damage but we lucked out and only got holes ripped in the screens on our dormer windows. Lots of limbs down in yard so got a mess to clean up. The worst part is that more severe storms are forecast for today and our creeks are so full and so much debris in them and all the ditches that there's no where for more rain to go. Fingers crossed it won't be that bad today. Blue sky's and sunshine sure would be nice!

Hope the weather is better where ever you all are at!

Comment by Anti M on April 7, 2015 at 11:51am: I really like the porch on that house!

Sending healing warmth and thoughts to your sailor.

Tricare can be weird about chiropractors, but I had some very good massage therapy through them.

Comment by NitaSewBee on April 7, 2015 at 11:21am: Hi everyone.. My son hasn't been in Japan for 4+ years, but I thought I'd stop in and see if there was anyone I knew. Hi Blondie. I am doing okay. Hope to move to a new place before the middle of July. My oldest son... my seabee is now in VA. He and his wife are expecting their second child in October. This grandma is excited. Just wanted to touch base and let you know I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. Have a wonderful day

Comment by T-Lynn on April 7, 2015 at 11:00am: HI

Sending Rieki energy to your sailor Blondie. Do me a favor, place your hands over the area of your back that matches where your sailor hurts. this will add extra energy healing to here. Two of working together will heal faster.

Love the house and the story of meeting new neighbor. I bet their neighbor loved it he ran out to shake his hand.

HI to everyone - hope your Easter break was/i wonderful. I am headed back to work with scouts today. Only 6 weeks for the schoool sessions to be done and then a 3 week break. Riker will have me all to himself.

Riker is now so cuddle-able. He is smiling and laughing - grabbing and just being perfect :).

both my kids are back at work too! Yes older son job stats at 3 AM wednesday morning. With oth kids working now - Grandma will be the one taking Riker to sitter.So now I have to get a new time routine.But getting those smiles will make my mornings.

Hey - Maggs have you been taking photos? If so post more. You do a wonderful job.

Hey , need to pack up stuff for scouts. wish all a great day hugs

Comment by MaggieMay on April 7, 2015 at 9:52am: Blondie - prayers for your daughter, hope her back is better real soon. Nice house they bought and what great neighbors!

Comment by Cheryl-TedsMom on April 5, 2015 at 8:34pm: Hope everyone had a safe & enjoyable Passover/Easter! Bless our loved ones who can not be with us in body, but are with us in our hearts and prays every day.
