We are very proud of him! He has worked very hard and he got a great job with good benefits. The last six months or so have been extremely busy for me and I’m hoping to get back to boring pretty soon.

Hello mixers. Long time since I’ve been here. We broke records with highs in the 80s. It’s cool today though and went below freezing the last two nights. Last weekend son and I cleaned up the back yard of sticks and leaves and mowed. I mowed the front and sides yesterday. Ugh…mowing season...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I spent the day taking down all of my decorations and cleaning. What a job! All I have left to do is break down some boxes and get the garbage to the road. I don’t return to work until the 4th so I’m excited to have more time off. I’m so glad...

I also had a day of shopping trying to finish up for my Mom and I picked up another gift for my son and stocking stuffers. For some reason, I’m just not into Christmas this year. I‘ve just been so busy this year and I’m ready for a new year. I work three days this week and I’m at home for 13...

Woohoo! Congrats!

Congratulations to her! I am sure you are very proud! It’s a good feeling to see them reach their goals. Good job Momma!

Thank you! I’m so proud of him!

I am sitting at my son's college graduation! Woohooo!

I’ve been googling for weeks! Between the whiskey/grill/socks/etc selections I gave up! I just purchased him some sunglasses from Knockaround that I think he will like. I’m done with family so now I need to focus on my son. Tell her thanks for the help! I needed some laughs…we are still in...

Too funny! He actually is a waiter! :lol:

I see him twice a year now that he’s grown and lives a bit away from us so I have no clue about hobbies. I don’t like giving cards when everyone else is slinging wrapping paper opening their gifts. Mom usually gives everyone a card. I decided on a pair of sunglasses for him. I don’t really...

Thanks for the suggestion. I bring my "famous" cookies and fudge every year for everyone. Ultimately I decided to go with OBDII auto code readers for my brothers. I'm sure they will like it and they were a great deal with cyber monday sales. Now I'm down to my nephew. He's the hardest! Any...

No idea. I’m not close with them. They have everything with expensive tastes. That makes it much harder.

My issue is that I have to also do my Mom’s shopping as she can’t walk to shop and she has never been on a computer and she has no clue what to buy. After I’ve done the shopping for years I’m just out of ideas. Last year I bought and wrapped 85 gifts between me and Mom. Just ridiculous...

I 100% agree!

I’m struggling with gifts for my brothers and sis in laws. Personally, I can’t wait until Christmas is over. I think gift giving for people who need nothing is getting ridiculous. I’m clueless this year.

So true! That’s a good quote. Another one that has helped me the last few days is ”Grief is the price we pay for love”. I read that it was from Queen Elizabeth after 9/11.

Exactly. And everything happens the way it is supposed to happen. We had an amazing 7 years and three months with Amber. That can't be taken away from us. She made us better humans. Her name came from the amber bottles we use for vaping.

Son and I went through our phones and pictures and found a lot of funny things our cat Amber did along with some adorable pictures. We are going to make a book of memories and pictures. It was therapeutic for both of us. She was almost blind but just three years ago I have video of her...

Great news! I did backup my vape inventory spreadsheet on my thumb drive! WHEW! I did it in 2020 so it may not be up to date exactly but it should be close since I haven't bought anything except some geek vape mesh and cotton. It had a lot of important info in it such as coils per device...
