Happy June! The weather for sure is reflecting the calendar here. School ended Friday here, but we've been planning for next year for 2 months, and have switched dull into that now. 7 weeks until new teachers start arriving. We are issuing new computers to all staff and students this year (about 50,000 total) so that is one of my big summer projects. I am changing roles for next school year, but my replacement won't be taking over fully until after school starts, so this collection/deployment is still on me. Will be glad to have that off me going forward though!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Oh how fun! Lucky you!! I saw him very lots of many years ago when he was still new. And when I was young and didn't mind being in crowds and driving to Atlanta! It was a great show, and I'm sure he's gotten even better.

We considered that, but we really don't have enough a great place to have it dumped here. We got 60 more bags today, so I guess tomorrow we'll start spreading it. No snow here, but it was really cold overnight, and will be again tonight. We've had to protect the plants that are already blooming from the frost. Fun times.

I have some pressure washing to do to our new house too. I had hoped to do it this week while on spring break, but my grandson was visiting , and we had a few days of bad weather.
-
So the saddest part? That was only one area that needs mulch! Luckily their big sale started yesterday, so this weekend we'll go get another 60 bags. Ugh. But this is the weekend to get your mulch, it's $2.50 a bag at Home Depot, or $2.25 for 30 or more.
-
Today was mulch day. Usually we do 20 bags, and that wears me out. We moved this past fall, and today we put out 60 bags. I am so sore and exhausted! Yay spring?

Happy April! I'm excited for spring break next week, I have many yard and house projects planned. And my grandson is also on break, so I'll be able to see him and hopefully the new baby grandson that live out of town. Yay!

Yay spring!!

Happy birthday!!!

And right on cue... last weekend it was 80 degrees, this weekend we are getting down to 20 degrees on Sunday. With a chance of snow on Saturday. Yay.

Yuck!! I'm ready for spring too! It hasn't been too bad of a winter here, but it sure has been wet! We're in a new house this year, so I'm excited to see what plants and flowers come up. And I have a couple things r4ady to plant. And while we are starting to see 70s pretty regularly already... March is when GA seems to have some of its best snowstorms and cold, so I'm holding off a little longer.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Hooray, February! And it's 2/2/22. Grandson turns 7 today, wow! I guess I'm getting old!
-
We got a little snow overnight here in South Atlanta. It was gone by noon, but still exciting. Usually if GA gets snow it's further north of here. It's been 4 or 5 years since we've seen any. It wasn't expected either, so that was a big surprise when I woke up!

Happy 2022!

Went to Target today for some storage totes, and went by the Christmas stuff. It was all but wiped out, I was very surprised. It was already marked 70% off!
-
Hope everyone had a great Christmas! And my picture is sideways and I don't know how to fix it, sorry.

Merry Christmas!!

Shop Early! Possible Shortages Loom This Holiday Season
bluebear replied to magickallight's topic in 2021
The only item I've found out of stock was corn syrup, but the same chain store 2 miles up the road had it. The only shipping issues I had was with LaserShip (I'm not the only one!), but everything did eventually arrive although 1 took almost 4 weeks. And I had another company take 11 days to ship, but I didn't have a great feeling even though I was before their deadline, so I didn't order any gifts from them. That may arrive today or tomorrow. But if not, I'll have a brand new door mat for next year. -
We are having ham and turkey breast, mashed potatoes, green beans, Mac and cheese, squash (sautéed and casserole), sweet potato casserole, homemade Cranberry sauce, and bread (I might make bread if I have time). Mama makes all the food (I'll do squash) and I handle dessert. Dessert is brownies, chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies, cool whip cookies, fudge, buckeyes, homemade butter mints, homemade marshmallows, and maybe spritz cookies. We don't have anything usual or special we have for Christmas Eve. Many times we have a frozen lasagna, and that will probably be the case this year.
-
My last item arrived today, so I'll wrap that soon. I've made 17 dozen buckeyes and 2 batches of butter mints. I plan to make the marshmallows tonight, then tomorrow is cookie day! Woohoo!
