Re: Summer, the Season between the Seasons
Hope this calendar page shows up...
The DWTS premiere is September 18th. So, maybe deadline for the Chmerkovskiy Choices - 1,2,3 should be Sunday. And the following Sunday (the 24th) will be the deadline for the Trifecta. Give or Take...you know, just so it's before the show airs.
Let kindness attend every gift and good deed, and love warm every Christmas greeting.

I just realized that I forgot to post that the girls both received their black belts! After the test, we found out that the younger one has strep throat. So, it turns out that getting her black belt was even more of an accomplishment than we realized! Yesterday was also my youngest daughter's birthday. So, busy weekend!
I think that about covers it...LOL
Ah, it is. It's the first day of autumn! A time for hot chocolatety mornings, and toasting marshmallow evenings, as best of all, leaping into *leaves*!

Re: Summer, the Season between the Seasons
Everything going ok so far......windy and rainy.....I got drawn into a long monopoly game with my nephews...LOL....I lost to an 11 year old *hanging head in shame*...(we are trying to keep the kids distracted) .......We still have power here in Jax but several fam and friends down south (including my hubby) are starting to say they have lost power...please keep praying the worst of it won't come through until the middle of the night tonight.....on my tablet now so can't bring it over but there is video's out there of the water being sucked out of Tampa Bay and other places due to Irma....I have NEVER seen this before, neither has anyone else.....it's kind of eerie.....will update more soon ((hugs)) 🙂
I saw the video of Tampa Bay and it is an eerie sight....
Glad you are safe and that your hubby is doing well too...

Re: Summer, the Season between the Seasons
Glad you've chosen the safest option, April. Hope your hubby is safe, too in the midst of it. Since there isn't anything to be done about the weather, perhaps you can enjoy the unplanned get together with relatives. Please let us know when it has blown over and you're safely back home. xox
My brother who lives in Southern VA not too far from where CEK lives gets very excited when they have a hurricane! As a retired Navy cook, he is thrilled by the power outage that lets him fire up his generator that powers the entire house (!), bring the BBQ grill into the garage to cook burgers, and start cooking for the masses....just like he did while he was in Guam or Bermuda where the galley was the shelter and the mess staff cooked for the families and the troops!! It makes me laugh when he calls me up to gleefully tell me that he's just lost power!!! LOL. I think the strongest hurricane they've had in VA BCH was about Cat 3....so nothing like what Irma is. For my brother, a hurricane party is always in order until the rain and wind stop and all the neighbors get out to help clean up afterwards. Last hurricane (forgot the name), he was without power for a week.
Thoughts and prayers for all in Florida because everyone will likely be affected.
Yes Jet he is just around the corner so to speak...I don't get that excited when the hurricanes are coming...I remember Isabel in 2003 when it made land fall in the outer banks of NC and came our way and we were without power for 15 days...We didn't have a generator then and don't have one yet but are going to be getting one if I have my say so...LOL

Re: Summer, the Season between the Seasons
I was into watching Lakers basketball when Derek Fisher was playing on the team and I really liked him as a player and as a person....so this guy may be one to watch!! He was a smart player and very steady and consistent.
He looks like he is going to be fun to watch on the dance floor.

Re: Summer, the Season between the Seasons
Hey guys
quick check in....we made it through the night....it's still very windy and rainy....we are under curfew until 6 tonight......but so far so good.....hubby was able to check on our house and so far we have a huge tree down but it landed across the road and didn't hit anything.....and a few shingles and some trim off our roof down and no power but considering the massive damage all over the state we have been blessed it wasn't worse.....we haven't been able to contact all our family members yet so please keep praying they are all ok....we have family all over the state .... Will update again soon (((hugs)))
April, I am so glad that you were able to check in. I saw on GMA that Jax was getting hit hard with wind and rain, with water rescues taking place. Happy to hear that you and those family members 'bunkered down" at your cousins are safe. Will continue to pray for your other family members, especially your hubby as he now begins to "work the hurricane and its aftermath". Very glad to hear that your house is in pretty good shape.
HUGS!!!
I echo the same as Luv to you and your family April...My daughter that lives in DC has a house in Jacksonville but I don't remember exactly the address now. Hopefully it is alright. Will try to call them tonight after work...Today is their 13th Anniversary.

Re: Summer, the Season between the Seasons
Afternoon Sisters...Hope everyone is doing well today. April so glad you and your family are safe after Irma. My SIL in the Villages is doing alright too..Now I am concerned for my daughters best friend in Charleston SC...They are having heavy rain and winds when I talked to her earlier...
Now I am hoping that Jose stays far out to sea...enought "hurricanes" for this season.
I had my first PT appointment this morning 
11 more to go...I hate having to start this mess all over again..
Well hard to believe that the new season starts a week from today...I guess it is about time to start getting our picks together huh???
Did you all see I posted the dance music a few pages back???
