Gabby's

[Tina]

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays with their families.

It's been pretty busy around here. Hubby has been off work since Dec 24, and just returned to work yesterday. Just when I think things are gonna get back to normal-- and I can get back into my routine of things... my mother in law calls yesterday to announce that she will be here this afternoon. I love my mother in law, but more notice would have been nice.

I sent hubby to the grocery store last night to pick up a few things I needed so that I could cook a meal for them while they are here. Today I'm trying to make sure that everything is neat and in order. It's next to impossible to keep it that way, but I don't want it to look too "lived in".

I have part of supper in the crock pot-- and just have to cook a few vegetables later. I'm trying to decide if she'd be too upset if I don't fix them a dessert-- because we're dieting around here, and really don't need the leftover dessert. Hubby would feel obligated to eat it, and wouldn't just let me toss the leftovers.

I've still got to dust a few things in the living room, and vacuum the carpet here in the office-- so I better get back to work. It would be just my luck for her to show up earlier than she said, and me not have my work all done.

Sis I feel some stress here..........prayers for you that all is comfortable and peaceful....


tina getting ready for MIL............

[Tina]

I always stress over them coming. Lord only knows why. They wouldn't care if the place was cluttered, and I fed them bologna sandwiches. It's ME that can't stand for things to be cluttered when she comes. I put WAY too much stress on myself.

Besides, she only gets here about twice a year... so I can deal with that.

I'm not so sure we'd have the great relationship that we do if she was close enough to be here on a regular basis.

I had an awesome MIL...she really was a sweet lady and a good friend, I miss her terribly. We had moved her and my FIL in our home so I could care for them, she passed away here, and I miss her so much...she was more like a mom to me than a MIL...she had three sons so was glad to have a daughter, her other DIL was not a very nice person, but mom did her best to get along with her...the third DIL came much later as my hubbys younger brother didn't marry until in his later thirties....so it was not the same. I was only 23 when I married my hubby!

The sun is shining here today, yeah.

Got to go get my oil changed in the car, getting ready to pick up my husband Sat. in Nashville.


Blessings to all.

Sis. He's My Friend,

So thankful your husband will soon be home for a little while.

May the Lord watch over you and yours as you go to Nashville

to pick him up, and on your way back home, in Jesus Name!

Blessings,

I hardly ever go to the movies, but over the last week I've seen "Alvin and the Chipmunks", "Mr. Magorium's Magical Imporium", "National Treasure 2" and now "Enchanted"

I liked National Treasure the best, followed by Mr Magorium, then Enchanted and finally Alvin.

But all were good. None of them were bad.

There has been a delay in my husbands trip.

He called about 4 pm (our time) and said they could leave out anywhere from 3 - 14 hours.

He will either arrive Sunday, Monday at the latest.

He was not upset, (nor were we).
We felt that maybe there was a problem, and we would rather they wait, and make sure everyone is safe.


God is good all the time !

I love the Lord with all my heart.

Sis. He's My Friend,

It is so good that you both were not upset because of the delay. For we

know that all things work together FOR GOOD to those who love GOD and

are the called according to HIS purpose! With that in mind, it's good to

trust and praise HIM in all things! I believe the prayers have prepared you

both to be able to wait patiently.

Blessings,

Wow you hit the jack pot then....those are the top rated movies I think...I want to see the National Treasure one...but will probably wait for it to come out on DVD. We don't go to the movies to often either, its to expensive, if you have pop corn and a soda it's over the top in price!

Good morning all..........oh yes it's Friday and I am so glad! My hubby went back to work on wednesday after being home for 11 days and I have really missed him...Sophie; our dog; misses him too...she pines away on her couch in the living room watching the window for the van to pull up!

He is traveling to the coast today and the weather is just nasty this AM...raining like mad, which means he could hit snow going over the mountian, so say a little prayer for him if he have a second, that he will get there and return safely home...


We had our first HOG officers meeting last night and it was very interesting...you get a rocker to put on your vest to show your service to the club...and I brought home the hand book, which is huge to read! My goodness.....we had a great time and I learned a lot!

I hope you all have a great day...I am singing "rain rain go away come again another day"....I need some sunshine.......I really do! Just a day or too would be fine....


Bless ya all!

Well I guess everyone was busy today and didn't make it to Gabby's...I hope you all have a great weekend...


Its raining and stormy here........but I did get a peek of sunshine today...I stood in the window and let it soak in through my eyes...and thank you Jesus, it was so wonderful!!!

Ah I am so happy....friends are returning home....God is so good!
