Roberta, don't make me come out to Ridge to bodily drag your butt to Freeport. Just come! It won't be the same without you.

Caroyn, please send me a PM with your address.

Donna, come on by around noon. It will take about 1/2 hour to get to Freeport, and that way we can arrive around when Heather is planning to.

I will be bringing a banana bread and a chicken pot pie. (I couldn't resist! Don't worry. It's no one we know.)

I will also bring a crochet project in case we want to stitch and *****. Also the Flinch deck if anyone is up for a game of "muggins" (love it).

Can't wait!!

Good evenig my fellow peeps!

I am catching up on the thread and wish I had some Fairy Dust to sprinkle around right now. I hope you all enjoy yourselves tomorrow at Caroline's home. Its just what the Doctor ordered and you know you will have some laughs and that releases stress and brings the good hormones to the surface.

Roberta......go and decompress...... enjoy yourself if even for a short while. A nice drive on a sunny day might give you some brain relief.
Gonna be 70 here tomorrow!! I will try to work in the dirt and clean my coop to distract myself.

I have had contractors in and out for 3 days and more tomorrow and sunday so can't even get outta Dodge right now. I need a LOOOOONNNNNGGGG walk I tell ya.

One good thing is I lost 5 lbs. during this adventure.

Estimated $4,000.00 just for my for my 3 downed treees/removal/container/labor etc. I also need a new roof down to the wood being replaced.
But my house is still standing as many are not....Fema actually knocked on my door today asking me to please register with them as well as anyone else with storm damage in Richmond County. They might be able to add some financial relief to what the insurance companies will balk on ... this isn't complaining mind you. Just more stress on top of stress.

Like you all are suffering right now as well.

My chickens were treated today with shredded cheddar cheese. They just love their chicken crack.

Roberta: Come!! I'll spray the bottom of everyone's shoes with an Oxyne solution and I have those great disposable booties to put over everyone's shoes. You're not Typhoid Mary. People are more important than chickens. Come join in. I'd love seeing you again and so would everyone else. We need you to help us eat up this impromptu picnic.

Ok, so what time is everyone going? I'm probably best for noon-1 myself, I can throw something in the crock pot incase I don't get home in time to make dinner. Hopefully, everyone will feel good, littlest man was looking and feeling a bit mushy at his game this morning.

Carolyn, pm me where I'm going, please! This should be loads of fun. I'll bring pie or something sweet.

I can't make this shindig. I will be busy driving to the police department and filing my loss report tomorrow. I will not be fit company for anyone after that.

Roberta, so sorry to hear you are still struggling with the Marek's.

 

[littlecritters]

I am very sorry to hear of these struggles...makes me feel so bad for everyone. I'm glad that many of you can get together tomorrow. Remember that
laughter is the best medicine!

Herseyhen....... I sure don't blame you. You have my sympathy...... Had a situation like yours and still have an order of protection agains a guy next doors addicted buddy friend till February. Long story but it sure doesn't make you feel safe knowing your neighjbors need $$ for their bad habits. Ugh.....

.

We worry about even taking vacations now and leaving the house empty. I've even considered now getting another dog, a very aloof and BIG dog.
