How are you today?

I had a nice weekend with my brother. Saturday I went to the International Book Fair. Found a couple of books I will buy in the future. One is a book about library science (the ALA was there), one is about the American Civil war. And a couple of novels and mysteries. Quite some reading fodder :D

Saturday evening I went out for dinner with my brother, we went to an Indian restaurant. Very yummy.

Yesterday I was a lazy bum. Watched TV, read and slept.

1. Good morning Miss Honeychurch.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Glad you had fun with your brother; sounds like a fun time at the book fair.

I love that picture. I was a caver in college and spent quite a lot of time crawling around on my hands and knees in the mud. I loved it. We were in wild caves, so we were wearing the whole get-up of helmets with lights, coveralls and boots.

2. Good morning cwydro

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

It was fun. And I wasn't that long at the fair that it got tiresome.

Caves are fun :)

3. Good afternoon

MissHoneychurch. I've never been in one of your threads before so I thought I'd stop by to say hello since we are in the same timezone while most of the other DU'ers are sound asleep!

Your weekend sounds enjoyable. I love Indian food as well. We found a new Indian restaurant in our neighborhood called Guru and we are on our way to becoming regulars.

We had a lazy bum weekend too. Did our shopping on Saturday and then lazed around on Sunday. I made a nice Sunday dinner, Minutensteaks with a mushroom cream sauce, mashed potatoes and rosenkohl. It was yummy.

I hope you have a nice day today and your weather is better in Frankfurt than ours is here in München.



:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Good afternoon NotoriousP.I.G.

:hi: :hug:

You are always welcome at my thread :)

I had too many mango lassis before the main dish came. Thank goodness for doggy bags :rofl:

The weather is sunny but cold. 5°C :scared: <-- cold

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

21. Thanks for the welcome

MissHoneychurch :hi:

I never need a doggy bag-I've got a husband :rofl:

We have the same temperature here too, but it is cloudy and raining on and off. It will get warmer in the next few days and I can put my scarf and gloves away for a while.

liebe Grüße!

[MissHoneychurch]

25. LOL

I had my brother with me but he was stuffed already. So I needed the doggy bag :D


Yeah, I'm looking forward to the warmer temps also. I am not ready for winter yet. I finally turned the heat on last weekend. The blanket wasn't enough anymore.

Liebe Grüße zurück :hi:

4. Good morning MissH!

That cave looks fabulous - fun to explore.

It appears that the book fair was a success, but now you've come away with more books to read. Ahhhh . . . our lists are never ending!

I had a lot of chores planned for this weekend, but ended up doing few. Oh well, there's always tomorrow. :)

Went to dinner and a concert on Saturday. Dinner was sushi (yummy) and the concert was Imani Winds, a wind quintet. They were marvelous.

Unfortunately we do not have any good Indian restaurant in this area. *sigh* I LOVE Indian food.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

[Callalily]

19. Oh NO! Now I have to

add these to my list too. ;) They all sound like very good reads. I don't know if I could even endure going to a book fair. I'd be writing ferociously.

Unfortunately I've got to be heading out for work.

Wishing you a great day.

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

26. Sorry

:7

Have a great day!!!

[Tobin S.]

5. Mornin Miss H

I just goofed around too all weekend. I did a lot of reading and went out for lunch with my mom. After this week I go on vacation for a week and I am looking forward to that. It's been about 3 years since I've had a vacation. I'm not sure if I'm going to go anywhere or not. I'm leaning toward just lounging around the house all week. As you may know, I travel for a living.

[MissHoneychurch]

11. Good morning Tobin

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Sometimes vacation at home is very nice too. In August during my vacation I was home one week and the second week I went to Italy.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

6. Good Morning Miss Honeychurch :)

:hi: :hug: :loveya: :pals:

Glad you and your brother had such a good time, and that you could bum around on Saturday! :)

I'm running a little late, those blankets woud;n't let me go. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

12. Good morning SCE

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Those bad bad blankets :spank:

I hope you have a good day :hug:

[Vidar]

7. Good morning MissHoneychurch.

[MissHoneychurch]

13. Good morning Vidar

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

How are you doing?

[seemunkee]

9. Good morning

Glad someone had a pleasant weekend.

[MissHoneychurch]

14. Good morning seemunkee

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

What happened? :pals:

[seemunkee]

17. My blood pressure is out of control

It's like my meds just stopped working. Calling the doctor as soon as his office opens.
My wife and daughter had a major arguement. This always seems to happen right before a visit, we are going to go see her at school next weekend and she is very proud of her first apartment.
And it was freezing rain all weekend and I had a lot of outdoor work to do.
Bleh

Sounds like you had a nice visit with your brother. I'm happy for you.

[MissHoneychurch]

28. Oh man, I'm sorry

:hug:

I hope you get your blood pressure under control again.

And I am sure it will be a nice visit. Is it the first time you will see your daughter's place?

[seemunkee]

32. Thank you

I hope so too. Can't risk damaging my one kidney

Yes this will be our first time. She is so happy to not be living in a dorm.

[elleng]

15. Good afternoon, Ms. HC.

Here's fried eggs, from Virginia!

[cwydro]

18. Cool pic!

What cave is that in?

[elleng]

23. Luray.

Doesn't say more.

[MissHoneychurch]

20. Good morning elleng

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Way cool picture :) Are these stalagmites?

[elleng]

24. Nope,

they're neither 'mites,' or 'tites,' just sitting there! (Don't know specific designation.)

[MissHoneychurch]

29. Do you know

how to remember mites and tites?

Well at least in German. Stalagtites are hanging down .... like tits :hide:

[elleng]

30. Yes, but not like tits!

Hanging down have to hold on 'tight!'

[MissHoneychurch]

35. In German

the word Stalagtites sounds similar to tits :)

[blueraven95]

16. Good Afternoon, MissH

I'm not going to be around much today - I've got to go home at 10:30 to meet a city inspector who's coming to make sure the house isn't a slum - which it's not, so no big deal.

I spent the weekend cleaning and watching movies. I did get into the new Pratchett book, I haven't finished it yet.

:hug: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

22. Good morning blueraven

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Will you be going back to work afterwards?

Do you enjoy the read?

[blueraven95]

34. I will be back

and then I have class tonight.


I am enjoying the book, although, for some reason, I'm finding it a slower read than most of his books :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

36. The beginning is kinda slow

but it will pick up.

[blueraven95]

41. okay,

I'll keep at it. (Well, I would anyway...)

[MissHoneychurch]

48. I agree with you though

it isn't his best book.

[blueraven95]

54. it's a shame

I was really looking forward to this - I'm still enjoying it, but it's not going to be my favorite.

[Brewman_Jax]

27. G'day, MissH!

:hi: :hug:

Sounds like a fun weekend. :D I got to see my college football team win, defeating Saturday's opponent for the first time. :woohoo: Unfortunately, our state college rivals won, too. :(

Got some work done on Sunday, but not all I wanted. Went out to eat and watched the late NFL game, and the home team played and won.

Looking forward to the coming weekend, brewfest at the Carolina Renaissance Festival. :beer:

[MissHoneychurch]

33. Good morning Brewman

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Did you see your parents this weekend?

Will you take your brews with you to the RenFest?

[Brewman_Jax]

42. I saw them over the weekend

and the cat. Got him more cat food.

I won't take my brews to the RenFest. The local brewery and homebrew clubs sponsor the brewfest and the winning homebrew recipe is made commercially. It's a big beer tasting party. :woohoo: :beer:

[Blue_Tires]

31. Good afternoon, MissHoneychurch

[MissHoneychurch]

40. Tried cleaning?

Did you succeed? :D

[Blue_Tires]

45. didn't get everything done that i wanted, but made good progress...

[MissHoneychurch]

53. Progress is progress

no matter on the task :D

[Tuesday Afternoon]

39. Hello MissHc

It is good that you had a nice time with your brother. I spent some time with my brother on Saturday, too.
It is frosty this morning. Fall is really here.

:loveya: :hug: :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

44. Good morning Tuesday

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

So we both had a weekend with our brother :D

It was foggy here this morning and freezing cold. But it is supposed to get a bit warmer during this week. I am OK with fall but not ready for winter yet.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

46. Chilly here this morning. No freezes here, not yet. I am not ready

for winter either. Closer to the Thanksgiving and then I will be ready for some winter :)

[NJmaverick]

43. Good morning MHC

Sounds like you had a very nice weekend. Mine was pretty good with the exception of my sports team getting their butts kicked. Tough game to enjoy with friends.

[MissHoneychurch]

49. Good morning NJmaverick

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Sorry to hear that your team lost :hug: Was it the play offs?

[NJmaverick]

50. Fortunately it wasn't

They will hopefully meet again in the playoffs for a rematch.

[MissHoneychurch]

52. At least something

:D

[bigwillq]

47. Morning!
