Good Monday Morning, Crew!

[AirmensMom]

:donut: :hi: Here we are at the beginning of another week. How was your weekend? We had a busy one, for sure. We went over to the new property both days and worked on cleaning up the huge rocks at the driveway entry. It was very interesting to see the contours as we dug the dirt and clay off. We felt like we were uncovering dinosaur bones. Yep, I took "before" and "after" shots, but haven't gotten a chance to upload them.

Needless to say, we're both bone tired and sore. Harleydad said he needed to go back to work today so he could get some rest. :rofl:

So, crew, it's time to rise and shine and get this day started. :bounce: :grouphug:

[In_The_Wind]

1. Hi Y'all! 5 days until MissHoneychurch lands on the east coast!

I'm getting so excited about meeting her and lots of other DUers!

[AirmensMom]

3. FIVE DAYS!

:wow: :woohoo: How exciting! I can hardly wait! :bounce: You'll be here the weekend after next! :woohoo:

[In_The_Wind]

15. It's going to be great seeing you again!

This has been an eventful summer! full of surprises most of 'em weren't good ones either! I hope that's all past me now! Damage control takes a lot of self control and waste my precious energy. I should be having fun doing Hoochie Mama things while I can!

[AirmensMom]

19. Yes, it will be!

:bounce: I have the feeling I don't know what ALL the surprises are. But I am glad the not-so-good ones are past! You'll be the only Hoochie Mama in TN! :bounce: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

4. You are only getting excited now??

:wow:

Good Morning Joani!!!

My suitcase is already in my apt, brought it up from my basement yesterday.

[AirmensMom]

6. No ....

I'm REALLY getting excited now. I mean (if I can explain clearly while I'm still wiping sleep out of my eyes) the excitement is growing and I can hardly believe the time is almost here! :bounce:


Edit: Oops. :blush: I thought you were talking to me. Told ya I was still wiping sleep out of my eyes. :blush: Well, anyway, I am excited! :bounce:

Edit again: Spelling checker works better than just trusting my own sleepy eyes. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

8. LOL

You clealy stated clealy that you ale clealy excited ... :rofl:

Sorry, couldn't resist :hide:

[AirmensMom]

9. Go ahead ...

laugh at me. :cry: I fixed it ... is that cleal now? :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

12. Awww

I am laughing with you not at you

:hug:

I love you way to much to laugh at you :loveya:

[AirmensMom]

At least it's not the other way around.

*sniff* My sister always says, "We're laughing AT you, not WITH you." :rofl:

Laugh all you want. I do some pretty goofy things, after all. :silly:

PS ... I love you too. :loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

28. How could it be the other way around???

no way, nevahhhh

We laughed and laugh a lot in my family. My dad used to tease me all the time.

[AirmensMom]

32. It wasn't like that with us.

But I'll spare you the details. Your family sounds like FUN! :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

34. They are fun mainly

but this family gossips a lot also. If you tell one thing one person you can be sure it will be known to the whole family within days :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

37. Harleykid told me who that person is

in her in-law's family. We meet them all last weekend and she says, "If you want the world to know something, tell xxx." :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

44. Different people in my family

but mainly my grandma :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

47. In my family,

it's my mom. I'll never forget how fast my sibs called me after the 2004 election, saying, "Mom says you're really upset about the election results." I mean, it was within hours! :wow: Of course, they all thought it was ridiculous to get so upset about politics, and I got a lecture about it from every one of them. :banghead: Most of them helped put and keep those crooks in power. (Have I mentioned how unlike my family I am? I think they switched babies in the hospital.:shrug:) Anyway, I pretty shocked at how fast the word got out that I must be out of my mind, etc.

[MissHoneychurch]

55. Is that a bad thing???

I am fortunate enough that my family thinks pretty the same about religion. But then in Germany we don't have someone like * as chancellor.

[AirmensMom]

59. Which part?

Being switched in the hospital? Apparently not! :rofl:

You are certainly fortunate! Imagine if you did have someone like * as chancellor and your family helped put him there! :scared: I just shake my head at how stupid my family can be.

[MissHoneychurch]

66. Being different at all

:D

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

68. Oh ... then, no it's not a bad thing.

It can make a body feel weird at times, though. :shrug:

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

71. The body or the soul?

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

73. That, too!

:hug:

[In_The_Wind]

10. My head has been spinning this summer!

I've only been home for 2 weeks at a time. That's barely long enough to wash my clothes, refill my prescriptions and give my featherhead enough love so she won't forget me.

It's going to be in the 60's at night in the north and 90's during the day in the south. We are sure to get a bit of rain while we're in Richmond because Ernesto looks like it's going to head up the east coast.

[MissHoneychurch]

26. At least the temps are higher

than here. We are down to the lower 60s. I am scared to get a cold now.

[In_The_Wind]

58. We were tempted to fire-up the woodstove yesterday! Where did summer go?

It looks and feels like Fall! I spent the entire day in bed.

[AirmensMom]

60. You'll be plenty warm enough

when you get to TN. It's very comfortable at night and still quite warm during the day.

[In_The_Wind]

63. Great! I only need one pair of warm pants & a sweater.

We are going to be traveling more than we're going to be sitting still so I really am trying to downsize my packing. :shrug: with 2 computers & my camera bag I still have 6 pieces of luggage It's no wonder that I can't just hop a plane and go flying around.

[AirmensMom]

64. 6 pieces of luggage?

:wow: Why do you have 2 computers with you?

[In_The_Wind]

72. The newest Dell computer won't be air card compatible until next year.

I haven't gotten the adapter back to its supplier for an adjustment :shrug: I'm stuck carrying 2 laptops thanks to Dell's attempt to change the computer world, thousands of us happy Dell owners aren't so happy with Dell.

[AirmensMom]

76. Oh, my!

I've been unhappy with Dell for several months ... but you know that. I'm sorry it's a hassle for you! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

67. I'll have one big suitcase

my camera and my purse. That will be it.

[In_The_Wind]

75. I couldn't lift one big suitcase or that's all I'd be using.

[MissHoneychurch]

80. I promise

I'll lift it myself :)

[MissHoneychurch]

61. Wish I could do that

this week I mean. Next week of course nothing will keep me in bed :D

The whole August was like that this year. Cool and rainy. We had only a couple of days that were in the higher 70s.

[In_The_Wind]

65. I wouldn't survive in a climate like that.

Dark gloomy days depress the hell outta me and the cool dampness makes my bones hurt. x(

[MissHoneychurch]

69. Good thing that you have your place at the Keys now

we have long winter here. Not so much snow but gray and depressing. But we also have beautiful springs and summers. You just never know what you get.

[In_The_Wind]

81. My place in The Keys didn't happen. I'll be 1 hour north of The Keys.

I'll be back to big city life in Fort Lauderdale.
No more sky clad gardening or walking around the house in my birthday-suit. :evilgrin: No more dancing nude under the full moon.

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Good morning MissAirmens

is that pic one you took? It is beautiful.

Can you believe that last week started and I only have to get through 4 1/2 more work days till I am coming? And if I start to bother you with all my talk about my trip please let me know. You do know that I am excited and it getting less.

Sunday afternoon I picked up my mom and her bf from the airport. They brought me Avocado soap, Fresh Olive Oil, Thymian honey and a Olive branch from Crete :D

[AirmensMom]

5. Good afternoon, MissHC!

:hi: Yep, I took that pic on FL. I have hundreds of them ... used to be a thing we did on weekend mornings. We'd pack a breakfast and go to the beach to watch the sunrise. Great way to start the day!

I can't stand how excited I am for you! :bounce: You will NOT bother me by talking about your trip! I can't wait to meet you! :bounce: :loveya: :hug:

Oooo, sounds like special treats from Crete! Did you try any of it? :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

7. Phew

I was starting to get worried that I might bother you because that trip is all I can think and talk about these days.

I haven't tried anything yet from the stuff my mom brought me. But I might have me some toast with honey this evening. I love honey.

I have olive branches from Italy already. And now they were so sweet to bring me two from Crete. One even with some olives on it. I dry the branches and have them hung up.

[AirmensMom]

11. Never happen.

And I hope you'll post every detail of it once you get here! :bounce:

Well, if you love honey, you'll have to try some sourwood honey from this area. It's VERY yummy! :9

Hmmm ... I've never seen olive branches used in decorating. You must send a picture! :bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

14. I'll take a pic with my cell phone camera

and SHOW it to you when we MEET :D

Sourwood Honey? That sounds interesting.

[AirmensMom]

21. OK!

:bounce:


Harleykid brought us some sourwood honey once and I loved it. I have a whole jar of it now, including the honeycomb. It seems to be a popular flavor around here. Very nice, not too sweet. :9

[MissHoneychurch]

30. That sounds really good

make sure to let me taste it :D

[AirmensMom]

33. I will, don't worry.

And I think they sell it at one of the produce stands down the road. I'll check next time I go (maybe today). :D

[MissHoneychurch]

35. Please do

I might wanna take a glass home with me. That is if it survives till I fly back home :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

39. I'll give you some packing paper.

I just unwrapped my tea cups, so you can use the paper for your honey. Then we'll put the whole thing in a plastic bag ... just in case! Can you imagine the mess it would make? :wow:

[MissHoneychurch]

43. I ment it in a different way

like if I can keep myself from eating all the honey before I fly back :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

48. Oh!

Of course! :rofl: You apparently haven't seen how much of it they have around here! If you eat it all, we'll have to roll you onto the plane! :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

54. You haven't seen yet

my honey consumption :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

56. LOL!

:rofl: Can't argue with you on that one! :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

57. I know

just don't make me prove it when I am there :rofl:

[Callalily]

46. Morning MissH!

Sounds like you had a great weekend, and got great gifts too - how lucky!

I'm at work right now so can't stay in DU very long, but wanted to pop in and say howdy!

:hi: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

49. Good morning SimplyF

I still hope to see you but if it doesn't work out you have to give me your phone number. Then when Joani and I are at MissAirmens we can call you and talk all together with you

:hi: :loveya:

[Callalily]

53. That's a wonderful

idea. I'm still checking airfares, nothing so far, but who knows. I once got a good deal at the last minute.

I'm at work right now, and best get back to it. Wishing you a great day.

:hi: :loveya:

[billyskank]

13. Hi AirmensMom!

Today is a public holiday for me! :bounce:

:loveya:

[AirmensMom]

17. Billy!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: That's right! I remember you mentioning it last week. So you're still in your "weekend"! :bounce: Has it been good so far?

[billyskank]

22. It's been good

I'm lazing around at my mum's. :hug:

[AirmensMom]

23. That sounds like a nice thing to be doing.

I'd love it if my kids were lazing around here. :loveya: :hug:

[billyskank]

25. Awwwww

:hug:

[In_The_Wind]

18. billyskank

:loveya:

What is the Holiday?

[billyskank]

24. I don't know

It's the "August bank holiday." What it is actually for escapes me. :shrug:

:loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

62. What the hell ~ enjoy it anyway!

[billyskank]

74. I will!

:*

[Road Scholar]

16. Good morning! We're watching Ernestine here in the Carolinas

[AirmensMom]

27. Good morning, In_Transit!

:hi: Looks like it's headed for South FL now. :scared: I hope it fizzles out before it gets to the Carolinas.

[Road Scholar]

29. I wouldn't wish a hurricane on my worst enemy. We've had our share

here. Still nothing like New Orleans.

[AirmensMom]

36. I hear ya.

Wilma did it for me ... that was the one that kicked us in the butt and got us moving towards getting out of there. Just getting prepared, even if nothing happens, is a huge stress. We were lucky we didn't have any major damage, but it was still shocking how much damage was done in the area.

[Road Scholar]

38. Take care and have a great day!

[AirmensMom]

40. You too!

:hi:

[buddhamama]

20. Good Morning, Everyone !

Good morning, AirmensMom ! I had a wonderful weekend. I wouldn't trade mine for yours, mine was relaxing. :hug:

Have a great day, Y'All :grouphug: :bounce: :hug: :donut: :loveya:

[AirmensMom]

31. Good morning, buddhamama!

:hi: Whaddaya mean you wouldn't trade yours for mine? You mean digging in the dirt (in the sun, by the way) and getting filthier than you've ever been in your life doesn't sound like much fun to you? :wow: :rofl:

Did you do anything? Or just relax and read a book under a tree or something? :bounce:

You have a great day, too! :bounce: :loveya: :hug:

[buddhamama]

41. you have convinced me

i have had a change of mind, your weekend sounds pretty good, too. I love playing in the dirt!

I grooved and hung out! I am currently re-reading Vonnegut, in order of publishing dates.

thanks, dear !

[AirmensMom]

42. Actually,

as dirty and tiring as it was, it was very interesting and fun. But my poor hands can hardly type this morning from being so sore. :P

Grooving and hanging out is a great way to spend a weekend! And reading! I hope you have more weekends like that! :hug:

[Callalily]

45. Morning Airmensmom!

What a pleasant surprise to see the morning thread! Sounds like you and harleydad had a great weekend, getting dirty together :evilgrin:

My weekend was uneventful. Did some rowing and bike riding, cooking, and just relaxing the rest of the time.

:hi: :loveya:

[AirmensMom]

50. There you are!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I skipped out of the morning thread on Saturday ... didn't think anyone would mind. I think the last time I posted was Friday mid-afternoon and then I didn't come back until this morning. That's how busy we were! Yep, getting dirty together is always fun. :evilgrin:

Uneventful weekends can be great! :bounce: I like the relaxing part. I'm thinking about doing that today. :D

It's good to see you! :hi: :pals:

[Callalily]

51. Well, after the weekend

that you had, you certainly deserve a little R&R!

I'd best get to work now so I can earn those big bucks. :rofl:

Catch you later!

:hi: :loveya:

[AirmensMom]

52. See you later!

Earn lots of those big bucks today! :rofl:

:loveya::hug: :hi:

[bigwillq]

70. Good morning!

:hi:

[AirmensMom]

77. Good morning, bigwillq!

:hi: :donut:

[bigwillq]

79. How's it going, Airmens?!

:hi:

[AirmensMom]

78. Time for me to get going, crew!

It's tempting to sit here in my jammies and post on DU all day, but I have things to do. Thanks for stopping by and chatting with me! I hope you all have a wonderful day! :loveya: :grouphug:
