Good morning, Violets..

We are up, dressed and headed to Mio for the memorial service. It's going to be a sad day today, but I look forward to seeing friends and colleagues and recalling all the good memories of Kathleen and our teaching years together.

Everyone have a good day. I'll check in tonight when we get back.

Good Morning, Vi's~~

((Judy))... I'm with you in spirit today.

~~

Stayed in bed 'til 9am this morning! :sad: That almost never happens! Still in pj's. All our guests have left to try to beat traffic... it's quiet here! Lots of cleaning up to do... but no rush, which is nice. I'm moving so slowly... a week of cramming everything in has taken its toll on me! I feel like one of the Macy's Parade balloons! :Yawn: Must. climb. back. onto. wagon.

Enjoy your days!

Morning V's~

Judy...sending you all the purple power today. Enjoy the memories w/ your friends.

Michelle...you are funny, and I feel you sista! Enjoy the pj's. Took a shower today and put on fresh pj's but it looks llike sus wants to be pj bound today.

We are going (she promised) to help Jenny today paint her house. She said after she wants to come home and chillax.

I am going to decorate the house!!! We have a beautiful table top tree (from Costco) and it comes decorated. I put up our fancy stockings, a little garland, a basket of ornaments...and wa la...xmas!!! I put up our new red wreath on the door and it looks GREAT!

My Kindle comes today!!! Can't wait! Oh yeah...and Susanne and I EACH bought purple Dell puters (from QVC) that are Windows 7 and have tons of stuff on them!! Damn lesbians! Puters should be here by the 21st of Dec. Did I mention they are purple!!! I was going to buy a new one after xmas (while I was between terms). They are tax deductable, and my old one has survived many terms and even though it was a Vista...it was time. So I get out of the shower and she says, "look at the new toy I just bought!" And I quickly jumped on it too. It is priced well, and it is purple!!! WooHoo!

OK...that it is on this end. HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY and Judy...thinking about you extra today! xoxoxoxo

Good evening, Violets..

Well, we are back at the hotel and ready to go relax in the pool and hot tub. The service was beautiful. The Bobster made me very proud. He did an awesome job. The president of the union read the eulogy I wrote and he did a great job. The staff got everything set up and served the meal. My school was a K-12 small school so the staff is really close. I got to see staff that retired before I did and I got to see some of my former kindergarten students and their kids. One of them said to me.. "I am what I am today because of you." What a wonderful thing for a teacher to hear. Fortunately she turned out pretty good!!:Yawn:

Bob and I are both exhausted and we're going to just chillax the rest of the evening. Tomorrow we are going to a town nearby and go to the casino and then see a couple of movies. Can't wait.

Oh.. the room finally, finally warmed up. It's really comfortable now.

Everyone have a good evening. sleep well...hugs to you all.

Good morning, Violets..

We are up and off to Petoskey.. a town about 30 minutes away. They have a casino and a great movie complex. We're just going to chillax for the day. And shhhhhhhhhhhhh we're not going to church today!

Everyone have a great day today. Be good to yourselves. Love you all!!

Good Luck Judy!!!!!!

Good Sunday Morn, Vi's~~

Slowly getting the house back together... key word is "slowly"... time enough to rush coming up in the month ahead!

Speaking of which... I dared to peek ahead to our Dec calendar... :confused: Lots to do and & just 3.5 weeks to do it in! And so it goes...

Somehow I GAINED 5 lbs in Nov... well, I know HOW... ugh. Sigh. "If at first you don't succeed..." or second... or third... or fourth... "Hope springs eternal!" My mottos.

Hey Girls~

I am just enjoying our cloudy day...got the decorations up yesterday and I love it!

I have to make 2 shadow boxes for the brides of the last two weekends! Then it is time to Kindle. I am sooo glad that I didn't have papers to grade this weekend!

ooxoooxoxo

Good evening, Violets..

We are back from Petoskey. Didn't go to the casino. I couldn't justify losing money when we needed to get some Christmas presents. Got Kris a really neat sweater coat and got DIL some slacks, a sweater and belt. I need to get Kris a Pandora charm and then she'll be set. Got Nathan some fly fishing stuff, so he's set.

I posted a video on Facebook of my friend Kathleen who passed away. It still just doesn't seem real.

The hotel here is empty except for us and they closed the pool for cleaning. I'm ticked. I'm going to write a nasty letter when I get home. There was no notification that that was going to be done and I LOVE my pool time. We were expecting that there wouldn't be any kids tonight because of school tomorrow, but we sure didn't expect to have no pool time. They said we could go to the pool in the hotel across the street... but no way am I doing that. We are headed home tomorrow morning and I'll be glad to see my doggies and Ethan and Grady again.

Going to read some Kindle, knit a bit and get some sleep. Everyone sleep well.

Oh... forgot to mention, we saw Blind Side and it was a GREAT movie. I really, really enjoyed it.

Do you think she means Sopapilla Cheesecake? :confused: :tt2:

haha Michelle!

Judy, do you turn off your Kindle every time you don't use it or only put it to sleep?

I love this thing...put it down for Californication but back to it now!

[Teachlady 3]

PamELa... I just have the habit of turning it off when I'm done. Bob often just puts it to sleep. I'm 3/4 of the way done with I, Alex Cross. I read a little of it on the Kindle and a little here on the Kindle for PC. Technology is pretty neat!!

It's 4 a.m. and I can't sleep. We head home in the morning so we can be there to babysit Ethan at 1. I'm ready to go home. It's been a roller coaster of emotions the last few days.

I need to get home and start decorating for Christmas.

Off to try and get back to sleep. I can hear all of you snoring out there!! :confused:
