Hi Lynda! It's good to be back on the Planet , a lot has happened over the past two months , it takes a while to get caught up . I'm glad that all is good up your way. How is Kesi doing in school ? Has she gotten the chance to tell her classmates about the things she did over the summer? I would think they would be interested , but I could be wrong. =) How are things at work , is your boss keeping you busy ? Have you gotten everything in your garden picked yet ? I'm pretty sure we have everything out of the garden here , but there could be somethings hiding somewhere. They say we might see some snow this weekend , I hope not , I'm not ready yet. LOL

As for the peaceful moments , they didn't last , but then that's pretty much par for the course here , if it lasted I'd probably be worried . =) My brothers GF said she was going to bake a cake for my BD , but because of what happened last week, she's not going to now . Geez , I'm so upset about that ...... NOT !! I don't want or need anything from her , there always seem to be strings attached . I don't have the time to play her little games , she needs some help with her mental health , IMO .

Hope the week has been a good one so far . Take care and TTYL ! Sherri

Hi Lynda! I'm finally back from 'hiatus' , which means computer trouble again. LOL I think think there is a gremlin here who thinks I don't need a computer .=) Anyways , I'm back , now we just have to get caught up . Hope all has been good with you and Kesi . Things here were quiet for a while , but have blown up again , thanks to my brothers' girlfriend , that trouble making b@#@h. Some people just can't leave well enough alone.

Take care , and TTYL ! Sherri

Hey thanks for the message and the offer of the photo.Missed chatting with you. Most of my days have been 8am to 11pm. so I have been busy. Hope to talk soon, Billy

Thank You. I can never figure out my phone either!

Hi Lynda ! Sorry it's taken me a while to reply to your message , it's been so noisy this week with dogs barking , people yelling , noisy vehicles in and out at all hours of the day and night . I need a vacation from all of the noise! LOL As for what has been happening , not much , just keeping busy by doing things that need doing . Since it's that time of year when tomatoes are ripening, we now have a LOT of them and need to start figuring out what to do with them .

It sounds like you have been having a lot of fun , and I bet when Kesi goes back to school she'll have a lot to tell her classmates about how she spent her summer .

The race on Sun. was great , once they got past all of the cautions . It sucked that Robby ran out of gas , but it sure was fun watching Boris and Max race side by side at the finish . I wish there were more races like that ..(SIGH).. but the rest of the season will most likely be more of the same old same old .

As for FB , as long as you don't give detailed descriptions of the places you go to or too much info about any part of your life , you should be okay . With these social networking sites you need to guard your privacy as much as possible, as you can't really trust people too much . I think it's a sad thing when you have to be on guard almost all the time . Stay in touch with your friends , but if you need to make plans to meet up with them , you'd be better off doing that by phone or email , IMO . I think the important thing is that you have fun while you're on their site . Enjoy reconnecting with your friends .

It's been rather hot here this week too , but a cool down is coming on Sat. We had a taste of fall last week for a few days , but it was nice, so this weekend won't be all that bad for me . Hope you're having a good week.Until I hear from you again , take care and TTYL ! Sherri

Hi Lynda! My week wasn't too bad , things here are kind of like living in a pressure cooker , you never know when it's going to blow . Seems like someone is always mad about something . I'm calling this the 'summer of my discontent' . =) What happened to the person who was helping you out with Kesi ? Yes , the summer has been going by at a pretty fast clip , even though it's been so hot and humid at times , I'll miss it a little when fall gets here . All I have to say about you joining Facebook is this , be careful about your personal info you put on your page . It seems that every few weeks or so there is an article on the Internet about someone hacking into what is supposed to be a secure site , and getting into members personal info . Protect yourself as best you can when dealing with any type of social networking site . Have fun staying in touch with your classmates .

I'm hoping that Robby does well in Montreal this weekend , at least it's not a S&P race this time . I'm hoping he does well in the upcoming off road races too , but with his luck this year , who knows . At least his chances are somewhat better there than they are in Nascar .

Hope you have a nice , not too busy week . Take care and TTYL . Sherri

Hi Lynda! Boy is it humid here today ! It would be nice to have some cooler weather here , it sure would make me happy. LOL

Sorry to hear about your frustrating week at work , maybe this week will be better for you .As long as the mistakes weren't yours , you have no reason to hang your head . Good luck with the work you have to do .

RGM are both S&P today , as I type this they are both out of the race now . When you need money you do what you gotta do to earn it . Hopefully this won't happen too many more times this season , but it's not looking promising.

The weather has been very good for the garden , we've been eating a lot of green beans , plus yellow squash , zucchini , some tomatoes, and some peppers . I'm waiting for my baby bells to turn red . =)

My brothers step son is going to be sent home on Sept 8th. The reasoning behind this is they don't want to him to get discouraged about his progress . He's having trouble with his right side , from the ATV landing on his neck, things like putting a fork down on the table . He's having trouble controlling his arm movement . It's almost like what a stroke victim goes through during rehab . I do hope he'll be smarter after all of this . He just celebrated his BD a few days ago , I hope he realizes how lucky he is to have been able to have it .

Hope you're having a good day . I'm just trying to stay as cool as possible . Take care and TTYL ! Sherri

Hi Lynda! Just stopping by to say Hey! Hope the week has been a good one for you . I just want to give you an update on my brothers stepson , he's awake , alert , and they have him up and walking , with help of course, and he's been having trouble speaking , but is doing better with that. I hope the boy knows how lucky he is , and hoping he has learned a valuable lesson from this whole ordeal .

Take care and TTYL ! Sherri

Hi Lynda! I'm glad that you had fun at the Glen . The N'Wide race was pretty good IMO , a bit better than the Cup race . That just totally sucked for Robby yesterday , but there's nothing to be done except get ready for the next race . I sure hope when he goes to Montreal nothing bad happens to the car .

Weather here was a little cooler for a day or so , but it's heated back up , high near 90 tomorrow , with the threat of T-Storms for the rest of the week . Oh well , it's making the plants in the garden grow like crazy .

Hope you had a good Monday , and the rest of the week goes well . Take care and TTYL ! Sherri

Have a great day at the track! After stopping by it on my way to the NH race in June, I have to make sure to get to a race there someday. Maybe we can meet up there.

Hi Lynda! I haven't been doing too bad , how about yourself ? Yes it is hot here , yesterday was the worst day so far this week, hot and steamy . No need to apologize , I know you are busy with work and Kesi , plus your garden , and whatever else you have to do . It's all good , stop by when you can . =)

I sympathize with you about having to do three jobs at the same time . I know women are supposed to be able to multi-task , but sometimes it's too much, especially now with it being so hot . All I can say is hang in there , this heat can't last forever. There's one thing you left off your thankful list , your health , you haven't said anything about being sick in a long time . That's a big thing to be thankful for IMO .

As for the N'Wide race , robby at one time was going to do it , but he changed his mind , deciding to concentrate on the Cup race . TOG said the schedule this weekend is like an impound race weekend , only thing different is the cars aren't impounded . At least you'll get to see him race on Sun. There are a number of drivers that I would like to see do well , Patrick Carpentier , Ron Fellows , Boris , Jacques V., just to name a few .
I hope you enjoy the concert , and the racing this weekend . As they say 'you only live once' . Take care and TTYL ! Sherri

Hi Lynda! Yes , I am enjoying the cool down, though it was a bit warm today , and the humidity is on the way up again , supposedly for one day only. The weather this year has been like a ride on a roller coaster, up and down , and with a lot of twists and turns thrown in. LOL

That's too bad about your plan to go the Glen on Friday . Wasn't there any word that the schedule was going to be changed ? One would like to think there was at some time or another .

The race on Sun. was disappointing to say the least , what can you say that hasn't already been said ? You get the feeling that Nascar doesn't give a damn about the small teams , but you can bet they will when the day comes when they are all gone . How do you suppose they'll handle that ? I say no better than they're handling things now .

Glad to hear that Kesi 'survived' her rough day . She's got a very good mother , who I'd say gives out very good advice . =) I'm also glad to hear that it's been better for you at work, it's always easier to work when its cooler . Do you suppose that the reason why you like your job so much is because you got out of that place you were living in , and are now living in a much nicer place ?

Hope you had a good day , and that you have enjoyed the cooler weather also . Take care and TTYL ! Sherri

Hi Lynda! I'm hanging in and holding on . LOL I guess we should be happy that it's not as hot as it's been in other places , but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with . Lucky Kesi , at least she gets to stay cool . Sounds like things are going great for you at work. Being busy is a good thing , and good for you about the job security . Hopefully the weather cools down enough to make it a bit better for you in the shop .

I agree about having aloe plants to use for burns , we use to have some , but it's been a while, need to get at least one . It is amazing stuff because of all the uses for it . Hope it keeps your back from blistering .

We've gotten several rain showers today , and it has cooled down a little , still humid though . They say temps in the low 80s Sat and Sun . I'll take it ! I know what you mean about your brain melting , though it is worse for you being in the shop. Hang in there , this heat can't last forever . I hope you're having fun with your friend . Take care and TTYL ! Sherri

Hi Lynda! My 4th was okay, and no , I stayed home and watched the fireworks on TV . Sounds like you had fun . How's the sunburn ? Having your back burned is IMO the worst place to be burned . I hope you had something to put on it .

This weather is miserable , to say the least. I'm ready for some cooler temps , which is suppose to be on Sat.

Thanks for stopping by night owl , hope you have a good day tomorrow .=) Take care and TTYL ! Sherri

Hi Lynda! Yes , it has been a calm week , which I am thankful for. =) It's good that you can go into work later ,it's nice that you can do that . It's also good that you have someone to help out with Kesi , and that your mom will soon be there . Black raspberries...YUM ! I know what you mean about everything ripening so early, it is kind of weird . I guess it is to be expected, this year so far has been something weatherwise , hasn't it ?

I have to admit that I haven't been paying a whole lot of attention to the races this year , in fact , there have been a few that I haven't even watched at all . It has been very hard to get 'up' for the races , when I know that one of a small group of drivers is going to win . That's not to say that I don't hope for Robby to do well , but I'm too much of a realist to think he will be the one to win . He did come close at Sonoma. As for the Glen , from what TOG has said , Robby will be there, and I believe that PJ will be in the 07. I don't see Robby missing that race .
No rain here lately , but it has been rather cool. It's going to heat up again for the weekend , up near 90.:( As for the pests in the garden , it's a never ending job getting rid of them.

Hope you're having a good day , should be better for you at work , anyway . Take care and TTYL ! Sherri

Hi Lynda! IMO the race was as all races are at NH , boring . I think Bobby had some of the same problems with the car that Robby has had before . He I have to admit that I didn't pay all that much attention to most of the race , partly because it was so hot here, and partly because it was boring .=) Robby went to Argentina for a sponsorship presentation . He was making a pitch to get some of that elusive , yet badly needed sponsor money .

I'm more than ready for a major cool down , it has been nearly unbearable for me with this heat . We got more rain this morning, and we just got another shower a few minutes ago . The cool breeze is wonderful . It sounds like Kesi is going to be learning some things that just might come in handy sometime . I think it's great that she will be learning different things over the summer , and I bet she's excited about it . I agree that you will most likely learn a thing or two from her . Enjoy your 'lesson'. =)

With the way the weather has been so far , your plants just might take off and grow like crazy . Some of the plants here are growing very fast , while others are going a little more slowly .

Today was hot and humid , but I managed to get things done.=) Hope you had a good day, and that it wasn't too bad at work. Take care and TTYL ! Sherri

Hi Lynda ! Yes , it certainly has been busy here lately , hasn't it ? I'm happy to see Bobby get the chance to drive the # 7 , I think he'll do a very good job . He's also on my list of fave drivers. I like the SpeedFactory shows too , I like what they've shown so far.

Wow , Kesis' school must have had a lot of snow days , I bet she's glad to finally start her summer vacation . I love ice cream , and you can't get much better than homemade . Day camp sounds like fun , and I agree it will be a lot more fun than day care .
The garden here is looking good too , there are some tomatoes on a few of the plants , peppers are getting blossoms , my brother got a number of plants that already had peppers on them . Nothing wrong with a little cheating , I guess . lol I bet you're glad that your garden is doing well , since you were fretting over being behind . I hear you about the slugs , we are having a problem with them , plus earwigs and sow bugs , and cabbage worms ,(which is weird because we aren't growing any cabbage ) , but they do like the lettuce . Of course we are seeing the blight again , my brother had to buy some stuff to spray the tomato plants . He thinks he found it early enough to save all of them . I guess we'll see . You better keep an eye on that woodchuck , if he wants to get into your garden , he will find a way . Good luck with that .

Good lord was it hot yesterday , it wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for the humidity and the high dew point . Same for today . We got some rain yesterday , it's pretty much been hit and miss . Sounds like you really could use a good bit of rain up your way , if not a lot more wells could go dry , and nobody wants that to happen .Hopefully it cools down some and makes it a little better for you at work. Hope you get some rain .
I hope you have a great Friday also , and that your weekend is a great one . Take care and TTYL ! Sherri

Lynda , just thought I'd stop by and say hello . Hope your week is going well , and that you're coping with the heat . Unless the weather isn't as hot as it is here , which in that case , ignore what I said . LOL Have you gotten any rain ? We've gotten some storms , expecting more tonight and tomorrow .

It's great that Bobby Labonte is going to drive the 7 car this weekend . So much better than being a S&P . I think he'll do just fine .

Take care and TTYL ! Sherri
