Saturday Smiles

(((Harmony))) More (((BIG HUGS))). Hope y'all at least get a good night's sleep before you have to wake up and do it all again.

Fears re: pool... if ddil refuses to ask them, then that would be the end of the discussion. Ddil would just quit her job if she had to, if she had it in her mind that she was NOT going to allow dgs to stay there. And like I said, no one has ever even mentioned dcousin except dh & myself to each other -- b/c she lives just across the pasture from us, and she LOVES LOVES LOVES babies. She has three teenagers, though, and a pretty busy life herself. She's really not a great option for anything that ran into overnight hours.
If I am the only one who is nervous, though... then... well... I would just have to deal with the nerves.
And I KNOW... Harmony... dfriend at school almost lost a two year old who wandered out into a neighbor's fish pond just a few weeks ago. I mean they came just sooo close to the most horrible tragedy any of us could imagine... just in a second while she was on the phone. Child had NEVER wandered out like that EVER before.

Lucylee, So glad your dfriend didn't lose their 2-year-old to a drowning! Things can happen in a split second!

Harmony, ((((H)))) to you! Lifting a little one's hard and exhausting, too.

A labradoodle's a cute dog. Heard that there are certain tissues with something in them, which soothe noses when you blow your nose, and dogs go crazy for tissues like that!

It ended up Saturday Smiles, finally!
I got some stuff deleted off my hard drive to free up much more space, DH said we'll go get a memory stick next week, and now boxing matches are on. I love boxing! I've been watching since I was 18 months old, when Mom's 2nd husband adopted me and got me hooked on boxing! 60 years later, and I'm still watching!

Tomorrow/Sunday, we might have thunderstorms again, too. Had 1 once today, short-lived and then after the rain we were dry again.

Got the sheets bleached, DH made the bed, and I wrote a letter. I need to get paper clutter under control somehow. I've got a start, at least.

Waving to Twins' Mom, Helia, Harriet, Dee, Kathyrn, Scattered, Elly, MT, OKay and your Dbro, and glad LO is better. Waving to Nancy, too. And everyone else, too.

Everybody have a GR8 night! Goodnight!

What a day. Left home at 9 and met both dds and 3 youngest kids at the shop. We helped dd2 get things set up for the open house. They left to go watch dgs8 football game. I stayed at the shop until one of the girls got there. Then I headed to the game. Dd2 took dd1 and I plus the kids out to lunch. She wanted to buy for us considering what we do to help her. Then dd1 went home. I ran by my house to get the mail and turn on the outside front motion lights, since I knew it would be dark when I would be getting home. Then I went to dd2 to watch the 4 little kids, so that she could go to the shop and load the kiln. That was at 2:30. When she got to the shop they were so busy that she had to help. She had her 2 most shy workers working. She didn't get to load the kiln. They slowed down by 6 ish and 2 more outgoing girls came in. So dd2 came home and we got the kids ready for the zoo trip. Her dh came in time to go with us. Dgd18mos walked the whole time. After that we picked up McD and went to their house to eat. Then we left the kids with him and we headed to the shop. She loaded the kiln and I did odd jobs. The 2 girls working did a great job of cleaning up after such a busy day. Dd2s computer system/cash register keeps track of every thing. She can see how many gelatos she has sold daily, a week, for the month plus anything else. It also tell how much she made off of each item. With 11 days left in the month, she is already close to the minimum amount that she needs to to meet her expenses. She was having a drawing every hour for different pieces of bisque. The radio station also put a box in there for a drawing for $2000.00 worth of furniture from a local store. The radio station didn't broadcast from there but they ran a lot of ads all day. We heard 3 and each were different and really good. Anyway her grand opening was a sucess
