I had 5 glorious days away and now have caught up with laundry and all...back to my routine...it is always good to be back home no matter how much fun was had.
Hope everyone else had a great Turkey Day!!

So we are packing, finishing some work, and heading out around 11 for Branson. My in-laws, my mother, our daughter, and Brian and I will all be together. We are going sailing on a yacht on Thursday where we will enjoy a Thanksgiving feast with around 50-100 other people. I am so looking forward to it. While most will come back on Friday, Brian and I are planning on staying through the weekend to celebrate our 27th anniversary that somehow we just didn't "get around to" celebrating in October when it was!! LOL
Going to several shows while there and hopefully get to do some good Christmas shopping at all the outlet malls up there.
Everybody ENJOY!! |

I just put something in the microwave and set the timer for 1-1/2 minutes. I left and went in the office to check e-mail...after about 4-5 minutes I started smelling something burning. I went back out to the kitchen and even though the "timer" went off the microwave did not shut off. I kept pressing "off" and it still would not shut off. By now smoke was billowing out and stinking up the whole house. I woke Brian up and told him I was afraid our microwave was going to blow up!! He came out and pushed the "open door" button. When he did that it did shut off, but smoke was billowing out and now the whole house smells.
Anyone else have this happen to them? I am kind of afraid to try to use the microwave again. Is it leaking out radioactive waste now or what? BTW, it is only 2 years old. |

Does anyone else out there "struggle" with this? My mother who has always lived close by is struggling with depression and has since my father died over 5 years ago now. She is not the same person I used to know. She is 79 and actually does well physically, but because of her depression thinks she will be dying "tomorrow". At one time she was a bubbly, independent woman with many friends. She has turned into a very critical, "woe-is-me" kind of person who clings to my every move and someone that many people don't want to be around. I am trying sooo hard to be understanding, but what do you do when someone doesn't seem to want help?
Now, my in-laws who recently moved here (around 6 months ago) to be close by are having struggles with health. My mother-in-law is having cataract surgery this morning as I type this. But the biggest struggle is that she found out yesterday that she indeed needs to have her hips and knees replaced. They will start with her right hip. She has needed to do something for so long, but she is a tad bit stubborn and would not hear of it. Well, Sunday she literally had to be "carried" out of church when we stood up to sing the song before the lesson, so I think she realized if she doesn't do something soon, she will end up in a wheelchair.
Such is life...we raise our kids from youngins into teens and then into independence...then it seems some of us get to start all over again...this time with our elderly parents.
If you all would, could you please say a prayer for our family, both for the aging parents with their struggles and for my family as we "deal" with all of this. |

I had lunch with a Christian friend today...I needed that. Dinner tonight will be at the condo assoc that my in-laws belong to...it is a Thanksgiving dinner...and I don't have to bring anything...yummy. Bathrooms are still being painted...I think I am going to like the colors afterall (jury is still out).
Wanting to go down to Conway tomorrow so Brian can try out for Wheel of Fortune...but at this point I am not sure we are going to make it....we had one of our subcontractors quit on us suddenly after 7+ years. It sure makes things hard right now at the holiday time when everyone else is wanting to take off...and of course who gets the "extra" work....YOURS TRULY!!
EVERYONE have a GREAT weekend. |
