COMMON GROUND COFFEE HOUSE #59

I was awake at 4AM - but didn't get up till 4:50AM - I'm at work - going to try and get some paperwork done - with no one around to bother me!

 

Jon's coming over after church tomorrow to do our yard work. His Dad is working 10- 12 hour days and is supposed to work everyday for the next 3 weeks with no day off. So.... our very sweet 28 year old is helping out.

Our daughter and her husband are heading to Connecticut this weekend. Joe's being offered a job at a station where he worked before on the morning show. They've got to do some house hunting too because the position starts in 2 weeks! I sure hope they get a decent salary. I'm NOT happy that they'll be so close to the Catholic inlaws. There goes the grandkids!

Our oldest son and his wife are coming in less than a month and I get to keep Jack for 5 days while Mom and Dad attend a church function in Atlanta. They go every year.

Hey Everyone. We just got Daddy off to Mexico. The girls are sad. They already miss him - just knowing they don't have access to him.

I think we are gonna go and play somewhere this afternoon - not sure just where yet.

So far, the salvaged fish babies are still salvaged.

I didn't see this photo earlier and got it from Kelly Todd this afternoon. Here's Dan's new pride and joy... Andrew Mark Kelly Todd

 

Aaah, kitchie-coo...smack! xxx

 

Isn't he just gorgeous! Babies are SUCH a blessing from God!

 

Does anybody want to talk about OU

(OU = University of Oklahoma)

Sorry Ed. As long as hubby is at work, I'm spared! LOL

He won't let me watch Trading Spaces! Unfair, Unfair!

 

Well 2 hours later and Nick's stopped coughing and fallen asleep. Jim's been fed his pork chops, corn on the cob and summer squash and is watching baseball. My tummy is getting better...

Tomorrow Jon will be here to do some yard work for us. Poor Jim has to work from right after church until 5:00 but an hour from here. We'll have our roast when he gets home.

I've got to clean out the swimming pool (12 foot above ground) and close it down for the season. With all the rain and cloudy days, it got greenish.. yuk! The kids did try to weed the sandbox. There again, all the rain and wind allowed grass 'seeding' to land and take root. It's amazing what a few weeks of bad weather can do!

I need to get to bed! Ty comes at 5:30 again starting Monday morning and this sick tummy from the antibiotic didn't let me sleep well for a few nights.

 

Dan-Cute kid.

Ed-I know what OU stands for, but I didn't know they had a football team.

Diane-Have a good visit with Rob and Sheila. Treat her to some cheeze-whiz.

 

Wow... I'd LOVE to have 72° for the highs and 40° for the lows this early in the fall! It's supposed to hit 88° today with a low of 65°, and that's too warm for me!

Today is our second Sunday with our new group of children. I know of one child who has Coxsakie Virus so don't expect her to attend. My membership is 23 I seem to remember. We had to transfer in some who were promoted too soon and had one or two new members last week so I'm not that positive. I have 11 who never miss Sunday or Wednesday and some of the children come on Wed. but don't come to Sunday School. They're good kids tho! Our lesson today continues with the spies who went into the promise land. Let's see if they can remember the big fruits and big people, etc. Like Addi says... 'The land of milk and restaurants!'

"Let every detail in your lives, words, actions, whatever, be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way" Colossians 3:17

We're going to have Hurricane Ivan visit us while Sheila and Rob are trying to fly back to North Carolina. We need some prayers!

If you look at the other maps, our home is just 1 mile or less south from I-20 in the last county before Alabama. We're on the east end of the county. Ivan is to come right through here and we're only about 45 miles to the airport!

Gosh Sue! You need to get more rest!

Brent has his urologists appointment this week, correct? The 17th? Still praying for a complete healing!

Tell Dale he'd better be nailing quietly so you can sleep. LOL.

We had 14 in Sunday School out of 18 children on role. It pays to contact the families during the week. We also had some visitors. The kids were pretty good. One of the kids from 'before' came into my room even tho I think he belongs in the other class. He runs around and gets the others reved up. I hate to say too much since mother only comes once in a while.

Well, more work to do. It's impossible to get things done with 6-7 kids here and I have to go to bed so early with Ty coming in at 5:30 a.m. Mon. thru Thursday! Yawn.... I could never lose sleep the way Miss Sue does!

BTW... tummy is all better. I got some 'good bacteria' pills and took them all day yesterday.

Hello everyone,

Diane, I just read what you posted about the hurricane. Can you check your pm please?

I hope everyone is ok. We are having a wonderful time here. Church was so good today.

Blessings
