UnFOURgettably 4 Friday!

Well, what a week this has been...we started with participating in the local TRUMP TRAIN that took a little spin around town. Nearly 100 cars participated. Lots of honks, waves and thumbs up. 

We added a little RW&B bling to SMARTie for the ride!

These were all sorts of trucks and cars, old and new it was quite a sight.

Now that this election is in the books I do hope we will get back to business in this country. As we have wasted more time and resources on this election then should ever be allowed. It really is shameful and we are still awaiting a winner...oh my!

On a lighter note, I'm now officially at the double nickel...celebrated with a little shopping, eating and indulging. Who doesn't love a good cinnamon roll! We were scheduled to celebrate another birthday this weekend but circumstances beyond our control have taken that off the calendar. There will still be cake though! Cheers to 90 years, dad! 

Stay safe, stay well.

Another week down not that many left in 2020. Gonna be interesting to see what happens next week. Took the folks to vote today. With age and stairs getting to the actual polls was gonna be a big chore so when the County Clerk offered curbside voting I thought it would be win win! Two votes cast.

She had hip replacement surgery and then broke her other hip a week later. It was VERY important to them to be able to vote!

Pray for our nation, pray for our leaders. Even though I know who is in charge it sometimes makes it difficult to find the good in what's transpiring around our country. Hoping once the election is over some recovery and forward movement on getting our Nation back on track to being the greatest nation is a priority.

Stay safe, stay well.

Oh, my, I'm tired! It's been an exhausting week...but they are moved. First night in the house and the heat didn't work. Thankfully a very responsive repairman had the unit up and running within a few hours. Welcome to homeownership! Noticed an evidently undectected leak while cleaning the hall closet, more investigation needed for sure. This was definitely not a welcome surprise. And that honeydo list is growing by the minute. You will notice your extra cash quickly gets eaten by home projects when you are the owner!

She's on the roof with her daddy and she called to let me know!

If I NEVER help anyone move again it will be too soon. Moving is a sport and not for the faint of heart I know that for certain. With approximately 15 moves under my belt I do know a thing or two about efficient moving techniques. Evidently our daughter did not internalize some of those more efficient moving styles that she witnessed as we moved about the U.S. and Europe! Lordy, I think she may be unpacking looking for things for the next several weeks months! 

Electrical work going on. 

And there was a bit of fun had as we stopped at the local corn maze...

We are back at the Meadow and in recovery mode with a plus one that we always love to host!

Stay safe, stay well.

We have new homeowners...amidst a death and wedding getting moved in and settled has been on the back burner. The last few days we got into high gear to make this move happen. Packing and moving things over are now top priority and our plan is to have them in before the weekend is over... 

We have been on scene since Wednesday evening and already painting has happened and a whole lot of cleaning. Lots more to do with cleaning and still more packing and furniture disassembly and reassembly will be happening in the next 48 hours. As for tonight we are making some supply runs and enjoying a meal out.

Stay safe, stay well!

This week we said good bye to my Uncle. He was a character, he was loved, he was ornery, he was a good guy. He will be missed by many...

This was my dad's brother. Dad is the oldest and the last of the siblings still with us. I feel like because my Uncle lived here in town we were closer and his kids often seemed more like siblings to me than cousins. They have lost their patriach, they will be facing some rough days and I hope they hold tight to the good memories and let that be their guide as they face the future.

On a lighter note we are in Oklahoma tonight for a family wedding. We added two new states for the Bee on our way here and one for SuperTrooper. WooHoo we love to get to take in new sights. Who knew that curvy hilly roads would be such a hit with the Bee! She loved it...go faster LaLa with giggles and ohhs and ahhs galore. 

Oklahoma and Arkansas state signs! 

Stay safe, stay well and RIP Unlce Bill.

Another week has come and gone. It's been a week that has had ups and downs, highs and lows. We have made it through. We also celebrated a birthday this week and we plunged into a new month. Lots going on, lots to do and life is busy. It is also draining, sad, happy and satisfying. We are sharing struggles, enjoying wins, helping out, perhaps even butting in but all good.

Singing Happy Birthday to the SuperTrooper!

We have much to be thankful for...next week we are off to OK for a niece's wedding!

Stay safe, stay well!

We've had company this week...

Oh the fun we've had, park hopping, picnicking, going to ball games, bike riding, rock painting, White Grill, pumpkin shopping and painting, garage sailing, pizza dinner, swingset playing, Grave Digger driving, hummingbird watching, tractor peddling, McDonald's Filet-O-Fish lunch, around the lake walking (or being carried if you are 4!), and so much more! We love it when you come to the Meadow. Already looking forward to next time!

Stay safe, stay well...
