You love it and you know it. :laugh:
Zach is currently plastered to my right side and Simon has his chin on my left shoulder breathing hot breath on my neck and I have Grimm alternating between trying to sit on my lap and laying on my feet. Blech. :)

Hey kids I'm alive and well touring the great state of Virginia...We're in Lexington.We visited Washington and Lee university and visited Robert.E Lee's grave as well as Travelers(his horse). Stopped by Stonewall Jackson's home...Went on a Ghostwalk which would have been a whole lot of fun except as we were waiting for it to begin we visited a public herb garden and I touched everything to get the smell on my hands to see what it was.I then rubbed my eye so I pretty much did the Ghostwalk looking thru one watery eye..but it was fun anyway.
We visited Monticello and James Madison's house in Charlottesville.I bought a case of my favorite rootbeer.We stopped in Staunton Va. on the way back to Lexington and had the most fabulous Goat Cheese and Pepper appetizer before eating some fabulous BBQ'd beef ribs..Enjoying some chocolate covered cherry in my MVP.Tomorrow we are on to Winchester Va.A town that changed hands no less than 70 times during the Civil War..I have pics if I knew how to load them onto my computer I would share them..I'll check in every now and again...Hope everyone is having fun too :)

Morning! I'm off to Mom's again today to celebrate my sister's birthday. Yes, it's raining again. Hopefully there will be no bad thunderstorms, hail or tornadoes. :) Hope you all have a great day!

You love it and you know it. :laugh:

I wouldn't want it any other way. :)

Wow, I am so rusty at that art form! :laugh:

Apparently so am I. I crashed and burned. :glare:

That sounds wonderful! I wish I was there. Enjoy the rest of the touring and make sure to tell us all about it.

Morning all. Off to a travel site to play supervisor. Sucks extra work no extra pay. :lol: Have a Fun filled Saturday. Stay dry, cool and safe.

Boo! Hope your day goes quickly at least!

Goooooooood Morning Posse!!! I missed you all so much! I had some family stuff to attend to but all is good now. It's been a crazy two weeks but wanted to stop in and say I'm back!

I tried to start reading and catch up on posts but once I got to thirty pages I gave up. :lol: Just know you are all liked and loved.

Can I get a recap??

Heh. The wife would literally die without central air....
.

Me too.

I have a window unit in my bedroom, but don't really turn it on all that often. I'd much rather have the windows open.

We do too and run it when it gets really hot outside. We have central air but the unit just isn't big enough for this house, as small as the house is.

Agreed! I love egg salad! In fact I am now trying to figure out how to talk hubby into making some for me while thinking it was his idea. :laugh:

I only like it with sweet pickles in it.

Im in here alone, and buzzed. Are y'all sure this is a good idea?

Positive!

:laugh:

James + drinking + posting = marvelous idea

Yep!!

Tiff!!!! I'm so happy to see that you are back. We missed you!

Nothing much to report, we were all pretty quiet the past week.

Stretchy is on vacation. The rest of us are jealous. Rick has been working too much, Ms. Doom has been too busy to be in much, it's been too quiet here.

Im ready to fall over now. Today was Melanie and CJ's joint birthday party. Got up this morning and hopped on the lawn mower and cut grass for about two hours. Then got out the push mower and started getting the areas the riding mower cant get to. I found a yellow jacket nest in the process. One got me on the ankle, and when I looked down, I had three or four more on my clothes. Got inside and had Kat bring me some ice. When she got up, she said I had something on my legs. Sure enough, yet another yellow jacket was crawling on me. I killed it and stripped down to my boxers (sorry for the visual) and found two more in my clothes.

I shaved and showered, and Mrs E comes in and tells me that the guy that was going to bring us the bounce house for the kids' party was already 30 minutes late. They ended up not showing up at all. Thankfully, they take payment at setup, and not when the thing is reserved.

Melanie went home with my niece and brother. Kat went home with my dad. The missus and I took CJ to Culvers. And we just got back. Im full. Im tired. My ankle hurts.

Now, I have to give my opinion on Culvers. I dont know if its because of our location so far away from the mid-west, or what, but I wasnt really that impressed. Especially not for the price. Kids meals were over $5, and my combo was nearly $9. The cheese curds, though delicious, werent as good as I was hoping for. Not a single sqweek out of them. Over all, the food was "good", just not $10 per meal "good". I will say the frozen custard was REALLY good though.

All I can think of is JD got a kayak for his cats. He hasnt been around much either. But FV said that he said he was fine and the Posse didnt need to worry.

I wrecked my motorcycle. It wasnt bad though. Slow speed, trying to make a turn through dirt and gravel in a construction area. My knee is still on the mend, but is healing nicely.

Rick actually had two almost normal days and the surface of the sun is about a half a mile away from his house.

FV is having problems with her weekends. She still cant figure out how to relax.

Drott love chasing quail and chickens in the rain.

Sallie walks around with dogs stuck to her.

Stretchy is out of town.

Punkin is showing up a little more regularly now. Still not very often though.

Did I miss anything?

Thank you for the update!

We went to Red Robin last night and I got the BACON cheeseburger and a salted caramel shake. Mmmmmm!
