Gabby's

[rgcraig]

It's raining here today too after being 12 the other day it's warm today.

Kind of a sad day for me - - - I packing up everything in my second bedroom because it's my daughter's furniture and we are taking it to her to St. Louis next weekend.

They bought a house and close on it on Wednesday and need the furniture because her fiancé is going to go ahead and move into the house. She will join him in July after they are married.

Just a bit sad to see the last of any remnants of the kids things leave the house...........

Now, I have to buy furniture for my second bedroom!

good morning gabby guys and gals.....

I hope your not being effected by the bad weather too much, in some areas its really bad in Cali...heavy rain and high winds! I am praying for them...

It rained her like crazy too, the orchard next door is flooded, and the wind is blowing some...

I am hoping my hubby will take me to Wally World today and Popeys for lunch. We will have to go to Lebanon for this as our town has neither.

There are football games on today so I may not get him out of the house for awhile....

I hope everyone is having a great day!

OH Sis....sorry...it can be hard, but that bedroom is going to be a good guest room for those kids to come home, and those grandbabys that will be coming along one day........wooo hoo

It's raining here too. I've finished my laundry for today... the house is still clean since we did a really deep cleaning for the inlaws to visit-- so I'm just sitting back and relaxing today unless something changes.

Samantha is very upset again today. They'd already cut her hours on her job, and she just called me because they changed the schedule for next week, and cut her hours again. They have her down for 14 hours next week. I told her that God will provide her with something better, to not give up.

Today I'm going to do some research and see if we can't find her some grants and just let her go on to school. It will mean that we have to take on her car payment and insurance, but I can't see her just wasting time and getting only 14 hours a week. She'll never get her car paid for at that rate.

I can understand why she's frustrated. She puts in the time at work, and all her money goes for her car payment and gas. She still doesn't have anything left to put in savings or spend on herself for anything.

On another note, I have an item on ebay that I paid $30 for new a couple of years ago-- used it for 6 months, then replaced it with something else. The last time I checked, there were 7 bidders fighting over it... 11 watchers on the auction, and the current bid price is $70 with a little over 3 hours left on the auction. It will be fun to watch the last few minutes on the auction.

Hope everyone has a great day. I'm not going to stick around the forum too much, because I want to go play a couple of board games with Kara & Michael. I'll check in again later.

Hi everyone,

I sympathize, rgcraig, my baby moved out 9 years ago. I hurt because of his absence. Soon though, he his wife and their baby moved next door, and I had the baby over a lot. And son and his wife came over often for meals and to visit.

Then the robbery, and dh and I moved, and dd divorced and moved in, then she remarried and 2 yrs. later had her baby and that is the one that I keep.

That was the cliff notes version of 9 yrs. of my life.

I have not been around lately because, we have had a very cold couple of days and our heat pump broke. We had a few space heaters and we closed of the computer room and the spare room to be better able to heat. The repairman is a friend of dh and he came out yesterday, and worked on it hoping he could fix it with out really replacing anything. It worked for about 30 minutes and then stopped. Repairman came out again this morning and replaced the motor and we finally have good heat.

I expected to have to pay a lot but he charged less than 300 dollars. Both days he worked about 3 hours. It is good to have friends. We do not take advantage of him and we have sent him other people that needed a heating and air man.

I would come into the cold computer room and quickly check Gabbys and a few other threads but it was just too cold to spend time in here.

Nothing else is worth writing here, oh oh yes -----dd brought me some chicken breast she got on sale for 99 cents a pound. now that is something to be excited about. ( I really need to start getting out more don't I ?)

Tomorrow is Sunday and I am looking forward to being in the church with my church family.

Well, it was my guest room already - I just was using her furniture (Caribbean from Pier One) and the room always stayed CLEAN! However, it's her furniture so it needs to go with her.

I've found a real pretty chest I'm going to put in there and I actually get to keep the bedframe to her suit, so I'll just have to purchase a mattress set and the dresser or chest.

I had all my linens stored in her dresser and all my picture albums in her amoire, so now I have to relocate all that.
Thinking about buying this:

Burrrrr...you poor thing...NO heat....yikes. I keep the thermostat on 67 here and we were sweats and socks to stay warm. I am trying to keep the heat bills down....

you do need to get some other interests girl if the price of chicken gets you all excited....

Have a great Sunday sis....

Good morning

I had a wonderful morning in church, we had a visiting evangelist, Wayne Hodges, and he preached on Sitting in Gods House-headed for Hell. I am looking forward to hearing him tonight. He will be preaching up until Wed. night. Not only is his preaching annointed but he sings beautifully also.

I wish you all could be here to hear him.

Have a blessed Sunday everyone.
