Mornin
I’ve got big ol froggy eyes this morning. Cried too much last night. We lost a cousin yesterday. She had suffered most of her life with anorexia and other addictions. She chose to remove herself from this earth. My heart is breaking for my Aunt and Uncle and her siblings. Thank you all for your prayers. They will need them.
I guess I have to get ready for work.
My heart is full of sorrow for you and your family, Coop! I’m so sorry for this tragic loss.
I am so sorry, Coop. I know how hard this is…my sister chose to do the same 25 years ago. Prayers for your family.
I am so sorry, Coop. I went through something similar a long time ago and it never ceases to amaze me that so many choose that route.
So sorry, Coop!
Coop so sorry to hear of the loss. Prayers for you and your family. It is tough to not understand some of the things that people go through and the decisions they make in their life. May God grant you and the family the Peace even though you may never understand all things. ((((((((COOP))))))))
Barb so sorry for the computer problems and Clucky may you all find that bracelet I know Mr Fab is hurting for this loss. Also prayers for the band director and his family. It sounds as if he was a very good person and used his talents that God gave him wisely.
Safe travels to OB and PQ and wished I was there too!!!!
Good morning.
We are getting to wear game day shirts and blue jeans to work. GO DAWGS!!!!!!
YAY!!!!
PM, All 3 of my girls are happy for the same reason. No uniforms at school today: jeans and a GC T-shirt. Even at the bank where the eldest works, on Fridays they can wear jeans and a GC T-shirt. She borrowed a maroon one from Em since most of her own are old white band shirts. Yes, she has LOTS of maroon shirts, but they all have MSU or Dawgs on them!
Sorry for your loss Coop, that is terrible news. I’m bout to walk out the door & drive over to Columbia on anudder purdy day here, so far, near STL.
I saw your comments yesterday Barb & LegE! Small wurl barb, (ur daughter in MO) and that’s really awesome field trips down to Monterrey ya took, for sure! My family & I have also made trips down to the border, we have friends that live in Matamoros. Once. our friends gave us the “tour” from Matamoros down to Monterrey & back. Truely a vacay we’ll never forget. Great place, great pple. Hope we can go back to visit one day, but our friends have warned us that it may be too dangerous right now. Their country seems to have been hi-jacked by a police-state fighting a ‘war on drugs’ & gangster’s taking advantage of the tremendously profitable, yet failed prohibition on drugs.
O well, maybe just a visit to South Padre Island will do for now :)
She lives in Columbia!!
morning gang!
hey all!!!
Coop we are praying for your anut and uncle and all your family. sometimex we don’t understand why people do the things they do. just try to remember the good times that you and your cousin had.
TGIF—-doing the Friday dance
Coop…so sorry for your loss.
Let me tell yall this since I can’t tell anyone else…I’m thinking about a job change. There is a local bank that has an opening and I may have an interview next week. It has got to be the perfect job for me to leave.
Good luck, JB!
Good luck JB!
Good luck, JB.
Great news – Orville’s PET scan came back looking good! The cancer still showing under control & in ‘remission’ with no increased growth! Thank you, Lord! Scheduling him for MRI & appointment with a neurologist. The whole left side of his face has been totally numb for several months & oncologist doesn’t think its chemo related, but its NOT a stroke – possibly Bells Palsy. We’ll see…
I have an appt with an orthopedic surgeon Monday at 11am & see when he can do surgery. Pain is so bad at night that I wake up every few hours & can only take so many pain pills. Can’t go on like this.
Happy Friday!!!
CP that is great news on Orville. My dad has Bell’s. It is one those things that comes and goes – more good days than not for him.
Good luck with the knee. I feel your pain. I have had knee issues since I was 18.
Great news so far Cornpop. Continuing prayers.
JB, I think you look more like the banker type, although you have done pretty good with insurance. prayers for you also, that God will lead you to where he wants you and your family.
Great news, CP!
Thanks for the prayers, folks. Tough time.
Co-worker and I have decided to indulge in Pizza Shack for lunch. I just ordered a chicken fajita pizza. Looking forward to it.
Pizza sounds wonderful. I guess I will settler for a Frosty or a milk shake again.
Yep…official…I’ve got an interview next Tuesday at 11:00 p.m.
I’ve got to quit looking at this blog. It freezes up my computer and all the computers in my office at times. Don’t know why but it does.
Did yall hear that rumor going around that Tank has to shave everyday and if she didn’t she would have a beard in a week.
Wow that’s late, one hour before midnight!
Heh.
Back under Mom’s house I go. Today I am a plumber! Now if I was only getting paid what a plumber makes…
Clucky are you wearing the pants like a plummer? Good luck. Several years ago when we upgraded our kitchen it became my job to handle the gatbage disposal. It seemed to take forever and was definitely heavier when laying on your back under a cabinet.
gatbage = garbage
I’m back from the Friday game and want to share a little ditty one of my old classmates sent me. http://www.youtube.com/v/6RzcvFLPg1A?version=3%22%3E%3Cparam
Flitting through. Here is a snippit of my column for all of you who are thinking about hurricanes and such. (And I tried to glance over it and take out any typos, if I missed any, I’m sorry. I haven’t run spell check yet, still pulling it together.)
Lately I have been re-visiting Katrina in a unique way. My editor, Brenda Owen, bought this book at an auction earlier this year called Katrina: Mississippi Women Remember. It was published by the University Press of Mississippi. It has photography by Melody Goldig and was edited by Sally Pfister.
This book is filled with brief first hand accounts of the storm from the women who survived it. I just wanted to share with you the heart of some of these women.
Opal Smith, a resident of Pascagoula, (which is on the eastern side of the coast) wrote: “It is now one week since Katrina’s arrival in town. I am sitting in my sister-in-law’s porch in Moss Point, watching the sun give birth to another day. Despite the destruction surrounding me, I marvel as the sun rises, giving form to all that is out there. Never do I take for granted this miracle and the beauty of this wonderful world that God has provided for all of us. And as we all work together to mend the broken homes, broken families, broken hearts, I am reminded that without each other stretching out our hands, joining together, it would be impossible to keep the spirit of this great universe.”
Thanks for sharing CLady :)
Visitation is from 5 to 8pm tomorrow, Saturday, at Culpepper Funeral Home in Kosciusko. The funeral is at 2pm Sunday.
Coop, sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers for your family.
LOL PM! Clucky wearing pants like a plumber.
We’re here in Blue Mountain. PQ said one thing about renting the same place as before is it’s like coming home. The view is spectacular. I counted 25 beach chairs on the beach. A new record for our visits here! Our building is literally 35 feet away from the sand. Of course we are on a hill and have to use a stairway to get down to the beach, but that’s not a problem.
With the patio door cracked in the master bedroom, you can hear the surf just like you were laying on the beach. Gonna make for some good sleeping tonight.
We stopped at Eglin AF base on the way down. It’s just five miles north of Ft. Walton Beach. Bought some serious snacks and four big bottles of wine. We will probably be pouring the wine remains out when we leave. PQ found some slacks and I’m stopping in on the way home to get some more jeans.
If I remember correctly, Eglin is the largest AF base in North America. They have over 60,000 service men and women stationed there.
Looking forward to a seriously beautiful sunset this evening. Y’all be sweet. Smiles and hugs to all.
Hurlburt Field home of Air Force Special Ops and the US Army Ranger school is nearby. I feel like I’m at home when we go down. Hope you guys have a ball.
Hurlburt Field brings back memories…Cub went through his training there.
It is the largest as far as personnel goes, but of all the branches. As far as Army, Fort Hood is the largest in area. Bragg is large with personnel, but it is actually more transitory than a lot of bases.
I was stationed at Ft. Hood twice. Bragg is constant deployments.
OB so glad you both made it safely and are enjoying yourselves already. You do paint a lovely picture.
Coop and PNC I’m sorry for your loss!
I cut my 8 acres today! It got a little warm about 1 pm.
Thanks, AW.
Evenin
Long, tough day. Thanks again for the prayers.
Down in Gtown and apparently Big Sis’s modem has died. Thank goodness for my Droid! I’ll need to pick up another one his weekend.
I got overheated late this evening working on the pipes. I think I overdid it…this fat girl can’t hang with 105 degree heat indices. Mr Fab is at the game-I’ll slip out shortly to go watch the halftime show.
Haha@plumbers pants. No crack problem here, thanks.
LOL!!!
Prayers for Coop’s and PNC’s family tomorrow. I know it will be a tough day for all of them.
Nite lite is on :)
Pearl beat Brandon in overtime again for the second year in a row. It’s amazing how the Pearl-Brandon rivalry continues even into the sunset years for some. I actually know a few Brandon residents who won’t come to Pearl even to play bridge because after all, we are Pearl and they have to keep up their image. What-evar!
Morning friends! I’m sitting on the deck watching the world wake up! Nice and cool 67 degrees!
Prayers for Coop and PNC family. We lost a 16 year girl yesterday, similar circumstances. Permanent solution to a temporary problem.
7:52 am Saturday
Morning!
Prayers for Coop and Pnc’s family.
Off at 6 and then off for 2 days…yay!!!!
Mawnin’ y’all. Hit the beach about twilight this morning and watched the sun rise. Sun rises and sunsets are always nice to view but are magnificent if the sun has to compete with a few clouds. Kinda like life. We left the condo a while ago and came to our favorite little coffee shop in Seaside. Will check out the local farmer’s market across the street before heading back to the condo. Plan to sit in the beach chair under the umbrella and reading this morning. Then clean up and head to a little sammich shop for a fabulous group sandwich for lunch.
When we left the condo a while ago, there were six beach chairs out and nobody in them. The beach was as we normally see it, mostly vacant.
Well, we will get to see family members that we haven’t seen since the last “family” funeral. I’m thinking I need to work on that.
PNC I know the funerals of family memebers seem to make it more like a family reunion. It seems so sad that it works that way. I have a great uncle that just turned 100 in Brighton, Michigan. I would have loved to have gone to the family gathering. I just have too much baggage (and I don’t mean that in a bad way) to have made the trip.
