Maggs...so glad your son is ok. Remember, as it has been said already, cars can be replaced...family and friends cannot. Sending you positive energy. Concentrate always on the positive..Sending a big navy hug.

Maggs, so thankful your son is okay. Remember, cars are made and bought everyday. It will probably be a headache dealing with insurance, but at the end of the day, just try to stay focused on how blessed you are that son is okay. Will say a prayer that all goes well with the insurance company, and that his soreness gets better quickly.
Joshmom- what a precious cutie! I love her name. Marie is my middle name.
T-Lynn, hang in there girl. You will get it all done eventually.
Blondie, loved the wedding pictures.
Maggs, that was great Super Moon picture. I meant to go out and look for meteors last night, but was just too tired.
Lots of stuff going on here. Son and daughter-in-law finally got their furniture and stuff delivered yesterday. Was suppose to be here on July 28. They were so happy to get it. Been sleeping on air mattress. We went over to help him get their bed set up last night. DIL had to work yesterday. Haven't talked to them today, but I am sure they are unpacking. We had hubby a surprise birthday party on Saturday. The kids both wanted to do this for him. First time he got to celebrate with both of them home in several years. Had both sides of the family over. It rained all morning, but the sun came out a couple of hours before everyone arrived. Hubby really enjoyed himself, and he really like getting to show his new shop off to everyone. Our son has really been a lot of help to him since he got home. I have been busy trying to keep everything picked and put up out of the garden. I have 3 new tomato plants out so that I can have some fall tomatoes, but everything else is about gone. Our daughter was home last week and she has motivated me back in to running(finally)! I ran with her last week, and have been getting up early and getting a run in before work this week. She and I made a pact to text each other when we start out on our runs. Today was great. It was 60 degrees and no humidity when I walked out the door. I just wish it would stay like this.
Hope everyone is having a great day!

HI
Maggs - Reiki energy on the way. If ok, may I do a spell for a positive outcome for his car situation? But I am so glad he is ok - just sore. How scary. I have heard about that hydroplaning. And speed is not a factor, it just happens. Keep us posted how he is. Gentle hugs to you too.
OH kiss her sweet cheeks for me. How precious!!! Beautiful name. You must be on cloud 9.
Still unpacking. I have no idea that I have so much. Even that I purchased some of this stuff! Hold out for new - good plan.
Right now, Shark is acting more like a 3 year old brat than a 42 year old teenager. (have to remember she is just in her teens.) she is getting into everything. Climbing - under stuff - hiding. then when she rolls over on her back - she doesn't even try to upright herself. She just lies there waiting for one of us. i told her to start trying to right herself - what a dirty look I got! Well, she will have to try -when all of us are out for the day.
Need to get all - yes - still unpacking. Maggs - in my heart.

Maggs - Prayers & positive thoughts headed your way. Thank goodness your son is ok. Cars can be replaced but people can't.
Our sweet baby Sophie Marie arrived yesterday evening!

Sending much love and healing, Maggs. Will the insurance company provide a rental? Most do. So glad no one was hurt badly.
Western Monsoon here. Means we alternate between hot and downpour. Usually in one day. And hail. All across the mountain west, just a mess.

Morning Ladies!
I'm patiently awaiting the arrival of Sophie, my newest special granddaughter. Special because her parents are my "other" kids, no relation just special!
Love the shot gun wedding pics. How was the weekend Blondie? Sounds like a blast!
Happy Birthday to Shark!!!! Glad she likes her new home. Good luck with all the unpacking T-Lynn but if I were you I'd hold out for new stuff!
blm - hope you had a great weekend in Norfolk. Hope shower goes well.
Gentle hugs to everyone who have those horrible migraines.
Have a wonderful day everyone!

HI
Finally internet working ! Besides getting locked out - and by the way - hubby and son got locked out too ( I don't feel so bad) - internet will have its day of being on and off. So I found it on adn I got on fast!
Love the wedding pics Blondie. I noticed the boots too - and a bridesmaid won the shot gun shoot. What a a beautiful wedding. And glad Joey is back in US too.
Maggs- maybe you can ask that bridesmaid to come ans shoot that ol Migraine Fairy. At least it will surely scare her off. Oh look a breakfast cereal that will attempt to scare off the fat. I thought you had gotten a pic of Angel. Great pic of the moon - it was cloudy here so didn't even get to see it.
Hey - Kim - hope your son is al moved in and now has stuff he needs. Glad you had a good time.
blm - I forgot the wedding was coming up. Have fun at the showing.
Barb - how are all the flowers doing?
Drama - soul - in any plays yet?
Joshmom - how wonderful !!!!!! no it has not happened here, But now I will be hopeful it will.
Any one here from Miss and BADma lately?
Here - still unpacking boxes. but I am making a pile of stuff to give away. Hubby said I was only doing that so I could get new stuff. Well maybe. And we have started to look at paint. so now in several rooms are these squares of primer with at least four different colors in them Going to make sure exactly what colors we want.
only other thing - Shark turns 42 years old today. She is busy looking out the patio door - now she can really look out.
Need to get back those unpacked boxes. Maybe next weekend - the cars can park in the garage
hugs all

Love the pics, Blondie! A real shotgun wedding...sooo cool.
Maggs....I used to get awful migraines. It turned out mine were related to hormones and gluten. Hit menopause and went on a gluten free diet and I have been migraine free for a very long time. Sending you lots of healing energy. Feel better soon.
Prayers for all of our Sailors in Hawai'i and Japan to stay safe.
