Good morning cherries, Brandy here for Barb today. Her mother isn't doing very well. Please keep Barb and her mother, and the rest of the family in your thoughts.

Did anybody take advantage of the FREE SHIP yesterday? I did! I just stocked up on cherry tape. The promo code sure did help because 4 rolls = $10 in shipping! I was tempted to buy other items but stayed in my own lane with the cherry tape. Saving up for my BIG purchase during their Epic Black Friday Sale!

Nothing really exciting here except work has been quiet this week, so I've been able to concentrate and get some stuff done that I kept putting off. You know how that goes. DH's work this week has been on the quiet side too. Plus, in my free time (what little I do have), I'm still trying to find actual documentation of my 4th great-grandmother being the daughter of my 5th gg's (with the exception of geneology books listing her as such). The DAR application lady was hoping the actual marriage record would have shown her parents listed, but parents for both the bride and groom was left blank.   How rude! Half-tempted to be mad at the person who recorded the marriage back in 1838. Silly I know...but still. You had one job!   All we can do is keep looking....

Anywho...hope y'all have a great day.

I’m so sad to hear Barb’s mom isn’t doing well. Prayers for all.

i was tempted to place an order yesterday but i absolutely must use up more of my stash before bring anything else into this house.

We were going to schedule our updated Covid shots today but DH isn’t having a great day. Maybe tomorrow.

Good morning. I was out of town in California visiting my sister for a few days. My husband was also traveling on business so we  both connected through Dallas and flew the last  flight together. This was good because we got home around 2am so I didn't have to take a cab by myself at that hour. He actually drove to the airport so it was much safer coming home that late as we have a gated parking space.

I had taken a break from my Fiji/Tonga album for the card challenges and then for this trip so I need to get back to it. I hope I can remember what I was thinking since I'm trying to make a somewhat consistent album.

Other than that, I think it's going to be really warm here today so I'd like to get outside.

It's so amazing that you have any records for 1838. I hope you can track don the information you need. 

And prayers for Bard and her Mom and their family.

Sending love to Barb, and keeping her and her family close in thought.  I'm so sad to hear that her mom is not doing well.

Hello, Cherries! 

I've spent my morning in the kitchen and have birthday cakes in the oven!  As it happens, my son decided he just wanted a "sandwich bar" for his party food, so that means I actually have very little cooking to do, so . . . YAY ME!  Not that I would mind at all, but still -- it's so much easier to just lay things out and make them look pretty than to do all of that AFTER cooking!

It's going to be in the mid 70's today, so I'm going to shampoo the rugs.  Normally, I would do that sometime after a party, but it's going to be nice enough to throw all the windows open so I'm going to take advantage of that!

Have a great day ALL!

Brandy, I think it's just fantastic that you have tracked down records that old -- even though they don't contain everything that you need!  I hope you ultimately find what you're looking for!

Hope you had a nice visit with your sister. Very cool that you and DH were able to fly home together last night. I'm right there with you -- I wouldn't want to take a cab by myself at that hour.

I am so sad to hear Barb's mom isn't doing well.  Prayers and hugs for all.

Just in from walking.  Haven't walked in a few days, so needed to get at it before that old autumn wind gets blowing. A little chilly out, but the sun is shining.  Need to throw myself in the shower next.  Thought I would drop in here and drink some water.

NO big plans for today.  I suppose I should send my spooky cards out since Halloween is next week.  It is creeping up very quickly.
DH is again driving for Avis this morning.  

Made some pumpkin muffins yesterday and the grands sure enjoyed them.  

Have a great day, all!

Good morning. 

Prayers to Barb and her mom and family.  I really hope things get better.

Woke up all stuffed up today.  I dont know if it's allergies or a cold.  But I feel miserable.
I took meds and I"m hoping after I eat something I'll feel better.

I worked on a page last night.  Happy to have done something.  Not sure what I want to do tonight.  I put a roast in the crockpot this morning, so at least I don't have to worry about dinner.

work is an absolute circus.  No one wants to follow procedures and it's causing so many issues.  I'm on the 2nd floor with the owners / managers, so all I hear most of the morning is yelling about the production floor.  I'm glad I can hide in my office all day.  But it sure makes it tense around here.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Awesome that you got to visit your sister, Louise! I ALSO think it's cool that you and your DH were able to fly home together! That's sweet!  
I hope you can remember where you left on in your album !

Hey Cherries - I'm praying for everyone!
I'm STILL   fighting this cold. The show must go on though! *Grr* so I'm going to work in a few hours. I'm off tomorrow and REALLY ready for IT! I've been trying to tackle care of myself.
OH yes, I was SO TEMPTED to shop yesterday! (I DID add new things to my cart!) I'm TRYING to wait for Black Friday before I shop again- adulting and lack of space!
LOL! I'm nearly out of room for embellishments - AND paper!  I STILL want those new stencils and stamps, though, along with several more mixed media supplies. I used to have more room for storage and creating than I do now, though, and I tend to "forget" that sometimes! Anyway have a great day, Cherries! Stay blessed!

Sorry to hear about Barb's mom.  I will continue to keep her and the family in my prayers.

I found a lot of genealogy info in church records.  I've been to several and one actually had an original book back to 1738.  I was able to take a photo of the pages I needed but couldn't photo copy because it was old and too fragile.

Yes I took advantage of the free shipping!  I placed my order on Monday night and it was shipped yesterday morning.  Should be here tomorrow.  I was able to grab some of the new bead sets for Christmas stocking gifts and a Picket Fence Studios Liquid Gold Splatter Watercolor.

I went for a pedi early this morning and had a dentist appt. at 1.  Now I'm home and helping DH wash his car.  Later I have a conference call to hopefully close my mom's estate 4 years later!!  Ugh!
