Dd has been gone to camp will do something for my birthday with her today, so I guess you can say I'm cheating celebrating two days lol.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

2 days? Go for it! You only live once. :D

[sweetnell3]

When dd found out that she was going to be gone on my birthday she was not happy about missing it ,so I told her that we would do something when she got back.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Sure, twist your arm! ;) :D

[oochiegoo]

2 days of celebration, heck, I celebrate for 2 weeks!! Happy Birthday to you. Enjoy your day, it goes by fast. Steak Dinner? yummmm, that's what I've been wanting for a loooooooooong time, steak!

Happy Birthday!!

[sweetnell3]

Thanks oochiegoo, It was really nice to have a steak that I did'nt have to cook.lol

[oochiegoo]

Amen to that! My husband and I cannot cook or BBQ steak, we dry it out somehow. oooh boy...gotta get me one now...

[sweetnell3]

Dh can cook real good steaks, we have to wait til the good steaks are on sale. Also we have to wait to the weekend when he has more time, also dd has alot going on this summer along with the relugar karate and young women at church during the week.

[cat lover]

Lets see, if I go by the meat processing plant near us I could get some steaks at a really good price; think we could get your DH to cook us all some? Let us know when to come by! LOL

[sweetnell3]

It would have to be on a Saturday,we live close to a lake so we could group togather there ,Oh it would be great to hang out and get to know each other.

[oochiegoo]

All "texians" are great bbq'ers, arent' they? ;)

I am a native Texan so I have to say "Amen" to that! ;) :D

[oochiegoo]

Yahoooooo!

[sweetnell3]

What better way to cook in the summer first it keeps the house cool,second it dh cooking the main part of the meal , we also put vegs in foil packs and cook them on the grill.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

I haven't cooked in the foil packs in awhile. I am going to have to do that. I am planning on grilling tomorrow and that would be a good time to do that. It gets soooo HOT in this RV during the summer.

[sweetnell3]

I agree 100 percent, thats why our grill is uptown with the travel trailer.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Thank God summer school will be over around July 1st and I can go home to my big place with the good, cold air! LOL

[sweetnell3]

We like staying up town but we need a bigger trailer,so its mianley the big house.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

I remember when I knew I was going to have to move to the same town as main campus. The prices for apartments are outrageous! I didn't know about the student housing. So, we decided to have me live in a 5th wheel instead since I'll be moving again withing a year to attend grad school. The problem is, I try doing baking in this tiny oven and I can't get things to turn out the same way. The burners and crockpot seem to be fine. It's just that oven.

Do ya'll do things in your trailer very often?

[cat lover]

I have a ex SIL that lives near Ft. Hood! Wish I could get away and I could visit with my niece and nephews too! LOL

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Come on by! I live in an RV during school, but the couch folds out! LOL We are less than an hour's drive from White Sands and another 20 to the Space Center with the IMAX theater. It's a wonderful place for the kids!

[melstar]

Happy Birthday! Hope you got to eat lots of yummy cake!!!:D

[sweetnell3]

THanks melstar actually I didn't have cake, I had my favorite blackberry cobbler. Debora sent we got the trailer hook up to electric,water and even cable we stay up on most weekends. Dd made danceline for high school next year so she have a lot of things for it so we may stay up there alot to save on gas don't know for sure yet.

[MAMA3]

I'm Glad Things Worked Out Better For You Than You Were Thinking! I Was Definitely Thinking About You!

[sweetnell3]

Thanks Gena, for some reason it was just harder this year ,I lost my dad almost two years ago and my mother is where she forgets things like birthdays,but she remember this year ,she forgot it last year. Also it help to hear from you'll, it was nice knowing other was thinking of me. My dd was gone that week to church camp so I missed her.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Sweet, I am so sorry about the lost of your dad. It seems holidays and other celebrations are the hardest when we miss people we have lost.

[cat lover]

When those that are close to us starts forgetting through no fault of theirs; that is very hard to adjust too also; I know because my DH has dementia which resulted from a serious car accident six years ago. Just make the best of the time you have with them and it makes it a little easier. Thinking of you!

[sweetnell3]

Thanks catlover! Dementia is what my mother has plus heart failure. The hardest part is my half-sister & husband lives with her and since dad died my half-sister is even harder to get along with so I try see to mom when their not there. Please pray for me as I am dealing with this one day at a time. I know I cannot deal with this without the Lord .

[cat lover]

You most definetly will be in my thoughts. I have some "family" problems dealing with some too so that doesn't make it any easier on you, but just taking one day at a time does seem to help. i know that is what I do lots of times! Keep you in my thoughts!

[sweetnell3]

thank catlover you don't know how much that means to me! Don't really talk to anyone about how hard this is for me,but since I found mm and fc I can feel the support that you'll give each other, it is hard for me to reach out to others for support.

[cat lover]

Hope you feel a little better; it is hard and no one that hasn't been through it just doesn't quite understand. Hope you have a good day!

[sweetnell3]

Having mm &fc to come each day is a bright spot in my day. It always help making my day better,thanks.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Nell, I am glad that we are a bright spot for you. These places are for me too.

[sweetnell3]

It just I feel so comfortable here at mm & fc ,everyone here are just so friendly.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Nell, I have never been at such as place where the group was more like family and sisters. There have been points when I have disagreed with someone and we agreed to disagree and were still friends. I remember when I first joined FC. I became ill and was put in the hospital. I received several get-well cards. It was so sweet.

[sweetnell3]

I'm really don't say much about myself but all of you make it easy. It seems I feel safe with all of you. I also admire you for going to collage.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Thank you Nell. It really urks me when ppl make others feel stupid or bad. I think we all have our good and bad points and we shouldn't be in fear of showing the bad parts.

I think everyone is so wonderful here and at FC.

[sweetnell3]

I feel comfortable here & FC because I'm feel that I can just be myself. Right now I tried to spend as much time as I can with my kids while I can. DD is starting in high school she made danceline,she also is in karate,she goes to young women at our church so she is busy.Ds works,he is also trying to go to collage as he can. They have grown up way to fast.lol

[DeBora4BobbyL]

You have one of each gender too? Mine are older though. I've been bored since there is very little school right and and no school until the end of August. MM and FC are great places to kick back and get to know ppl.

[sweetnell3]

We had a older son which we lost to crib death as a infant,then I we had ds2 three years later . Nine years later we were blessed to adopt dd who was a extra blessing. So I guess thats why I' try to be extra close to each child.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Sorry for the loss of the child who died of SIDS. That had to be terrifying. They thought my DD had it, but later found out she was severely allergic to polyester. Now, her DS cannot go swimming, wear artificial clothing, and so on because he has one of the most severe cases of exzema the doctor has ever seen.

I think the loss of a child can make us appreciate what he have even more. I just cannot imagine what you went through Nell.

[sweetnell3]

It really made relazie what blessing children are ,I was in my early twenties at the time. Ds his is very protected of my we are extremely close. Dd and I have a special bond also.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

I can only imagine.

[cat lover]

So sorry to hear of your loss sweetnell3, words just can't tell you how much! So glad you are enjoying it here, we all can have some fun here and relax! Have a good evening!

[sweetnell3]

Thanks catlover, It was along time ago,I do enjoy and have a good timehere.That why I try to come here a least once a day.
