One last time before I give up. BTW, have any of you tried to change a siggie since the last eBay changes?

Lynn, it just wasn't meant to be. Please give up, don't waste anymore of your time on it.

I think it must be too large.

Lynn -- Great pictures! You look lovely! Mackinac Bridge is interesting. I'm so glad that you were such a blessing to Roxie's mom.
I have not tried to change my siggie since the board changes.
Thank you for your prayers -- they mean a lot to me.
Prayers for the insurance claim -- it doesn't rain, but it pours.
Debbie -- Prayers continue.
Adrian -- Thank you for your prayers. Good news about Mitch.
Roxie -- Yes, God is working in Shellie's life. She has been such a support with my health.

Hi!
Roxie - Yep. Lone Mountain CC with Pastor Jimmy. Love that church! Michigan is a beautiful state but I so hate the cold. I have a pic of my house as my cover pic on FB at the moment.
Just got back from the parade and my frist time in the fire truck! Alli & Gabe always ride, just as my kids did when they were young. Lisa also went.
Cooked up 30# of chicken leg quarters to make all sorts of things for the festival. They are cooling and Ike will de-bone them when he gets home. Bought a bunch of ground chuck and now have that in the freezer in the trailer along with some of the BBQ sauce I made this morning. I also have to remember to put some hot dogs in there, too. The beans are already there. Switched everything over from real dishes to paper and plastic. I wash as few dishes as possible there. We are going to Melanie's for dinner and then he has to have the tanker truck at the Mio tonight for the fireworks. He also has to take a truck to the Luzerne parade tomorrow. That is the even smaller town where Melanie lives down the road.
Time for some lunch and a little nap.
Have a beautiful weekend!

Lynn -- Thank you for the 4th of July gif! You keep the thread beautiful and colorful.
Yummy! Sounds like you are cooking up a storm.
Roxie -- Bill and I so enjoyed visiting with your sweet mom!

Good Morning!
Well, there's Jan! How are you?
Roger, you say? A couple of weeks ago, he stopped by here and took us out to lunch on his way up to his cabin, just a little north of us. It was a nice visit and we said goodbye. A short while later, I realized I had left my purse in the back of his car!!! I did not have his cabin address and his cell phone number got missed when I changed phones. I called the sheriff department and they had his home address downstate but not the cabin address. Meanwhile, my daughter did find his cabin address online somewhere but no phone. During this time, we are all calling my phone which is on the floor in the back seat of his car. We all have different, really loud ringtones, hoping he would hear it and pick it up. Nada. I went to FB and put out a broadcast message to all of his friends to try to get ghis phone number. Nada. The sheriff sent a car to his cabin and he was not there, but they left a note for him to call me (which was so nice) and it was still there when we drove up there. Still, no Roger. We met the neighbor and then crazy things were happening. Nowm remember we are in the middle of nowhere. An ambulance pulls up and stops right next to his driveway with all the light flashing. It then moves on up the road, followed by a state police car. Now Roger had said that he was going to check his hunting property (which the neighbor had mentioned was just up the road) because there is a gas well there and people drop trash off on occasion. Then we see the neighbor's car pull out and we start thinking that perhaps something happened to him while checking his property. So we drive up the roadm as well. Ike was wearing his fire department jacket and looking somewhat official but when we got there, there was also a sheriff and they had pulled over a bunch of teenaged kids and were checking IDs. We have no idea what the ambulance was for and still no Roger! I was carrying a black crocheted purse which blended in so well with the black carpeting in his hotroad (a new charcoal Dodge charger with a hemi engine in it) that I new he would never find it. We finally went home around 11pm. I ran to my computer and found that his granddaughter sent me his phone number so I called. I asked him what he was doing and he said he was sleeping. I asked him where he was sleeping and he told me he was at home, downstate. I said what happened to going to the cabin? He said it was shilly aand h did not feel like lighting the stove and so forth and decided to drive home. I asked him is he did not hear all sorts of noises coming from the back of his car? Yes! Why did he not check them out? He had no idea what it was! Anyway, we met about halfway and I bought him lunch. He is fine. He had broken his hip almost a year ago and needs a cane for support but other than that, he is fine.
Ike had to take a truck to the local fireworks last night so I went along. It was an excellent show for such a small place and the finale was unlike anything I have seen before. It was huge, but in all the same color, the sparkly white that I love. It was truly beautiful and I was happy I went.
He just left to get an exhaust pipe for the truck. He ordered some kind of gizmo to get better performance and mileage and he needs to take the muffler off and weld a straight pipe on it. He is going to Bob's to do this. He also has to take a truck in their oarade this afternoon. I am skipping this as I have a lot to do to get ready for our trip to the big music festival and we are leaving Wednesday morning. Put all the boned chicken in the freezer as I do not have to put everything together until Tuesday.
Time to grab something to eat and get busy. I want to get all the clothes I need into the trailer and get what laundry I have done today.
Have a beautiful weekend!

Good Morning!
These would have been prettier if I had done some weeding, but that it not happening this year.
Just getting ready to head for our music festival on Wednesday for 12 days.
Please say a little prayer for our neighbor across the street. She has been ill for years with gout, RA and now Alzheimer's. She keeps falling and the last time, she broke her neck. She needed to be in a skilled nursing facility but her son did not feel the need. After being told by her church friends that she was in no shape to live alone, he took her to live with him and put her place up for sale (in fear of being called by protective services). He did not watch her and she had a very bad fall. When she returned home, she had a stroke but he did not take her into the hospital until she could no longer eat. The church lady stopped by to let me know that Carolyn (who is only 73 but looks much older) has been put on Hospice and is basically non-responsive and was given maybe a couple of weeks at the longest. Kind of a sad ending for a nice woman.
Have a beautiful day!

Hello All,
I pray everyone is doing well!
Lynn, your Music Festival sounds like a lot of fun!
I just remembered something that is cute. When I was about 4 years old, as I was told later, I had done something naughty, don't remenber what. Ma Bill that raised me sat me down and said "Jesus can see and hear everything you do and he saw what you just did!" I looked her straight in the eye with a very serious look and said "Boy, he's a booger isn't he?"
I don't know what Ma Bill said but knowing her I'll bet she had to turn her head so she could laugh!
