Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.

Good Morning,

Wonderful quote this morning Miss P! So very true.

It's raining, it's pouring and sure do wish I was snoring. A perfect day for extra sleep. We had a downpour about 11 last night with some pretty intense lighting and or course that's the time that Otto decided he needed to go out. So there I am with the back door open, him looking out at the pouring rain and deciding whether he really needs to go. He finally decides to go and I'm watching the lightning and hoping that he really hurries up. Nothing like the smell of wet dog!

Nothing much going on around here. The 9 to 5 work day and like Nancy my car is running on fumes. The gas station used to be on my way home from work and now I have to drive past the house to get to the station.

DH is gearing up here for negotiations to avoid a strike this year. August 31 is the deadline. Other shops that have passed the deadline have extended their contracts. Not so sure that will happen here. The negotiation team will be formed next week and talks will begin. If they don't extend I'm sure it will go to the last possible moment just like other years. Just hoping we don't have to buy DH a new pair of sneakers to walk a picket line. After everything else that has gone on employment wise this year I really hope that a strike will be averted. Medical insurance is always a huge factor in the negotiations.

Nancy-hope you feel better. Continued prayers for your MIL and DS.

Thankfuls-a wonderful week off. Safe travels to and from MA. A great time with DD. The much needed rain. All of you here and how lucky I am to part of this board.

Time to get moving. Hope you all have a great day!

Well, Patty, I had to forward that quote to Tim even though it will probably go right over his head. I put the word "contemplate" in big letters before it. I don't know why, but I keep trying to get through to him about life.


I matched 3 numbers in the lottery again for a whopping $4.50. At least it's still suppporting my habit. :-)


I'm still enjoying reruns of last night's activities

If your cell phone has a camera, you could take pictures of your roses!


I AM taking him to the cleaners. LOL! I get the house and everything else but his car and personal effects, plus a very generous monthly amount to live on. As long as he stays healthy and successful
