I am surprised Holly was able to go shopping. I guess the pain must not be that bad. Good healing signs.

Great buys at the Dollar Store. I found some great curb items & I bought an Muskoka Chair for $40, with cushion. Great condition, just needs a bit of TLC. I should be able to make $30 - $40 on top of what I paid for it unless I decide to keep. It is nice.

Thanks for sharing your day & pics. Hugs!

chis it never seems to me that you are out there with the rest of the people at Dollar Tree....I read in one email from my emails with cooking stuff that they list the best day to go to Dollar Tree is Tues as they deliver the new stuff on Monday nights....and the worst day when it is crowded is Saturdays....

Anyway I wonder who got that last cookie you saw upstairs when you went up? LOL

The kids enjoy the treats they get and you know the images that you are imprinting into them are positive. Do you not have any girls in the family of children? LOL I would think that would help them too....LOL

Tiger girl is getting some high fives from Belle and Happy tonight. The Cards are playing the Phillies and losing badly in 3rd inning friend just texted me 7/o That is no good....we need a comeback quick.....

glad your wife Holly is starting to feel better....does she strain the urine to see if the stones have passed? My doctor gave me a little thing to pee thru and I am pretty sure a girl could use it too....that will tell if the stones have passed. I love pineapple juice and pineapples in general so I am glad that is what is helping....I would use Cranberry juice....that can also help with kidney functions....

Hey Chris I am glad that Holly is feeling better and that you got some shopping done at the dollar store. I love how they have their Halloween and fall stuff out. Also Xmas, though it's too early for that, at least I think so. I see Tiger is eating very well. I like the goodies you got yourselves. I got a package of Werther's original caramel the soft variety. I was looking for the chocolate covered, but the dollar I hope you have a wonderful Sun. We had a thunderstorm here and it poured. Hugs

Great shopping adventure today at Dollar Tree - I'm glad that going out seems to be getting so much easier for you, especially as you and Holly do this together now. I guess that makes a difference with the support when the anxiety might once have kicked in. Great to see the baking Friday photos, I still can't believe how grown up all the kids are now, but I love that they're still getting involved in the kitchen. I had 'baking Sunday' today lol I made a batch of rice (I freeze up portions to have during the week), a batch of spaghetti bolognese mince (again, freeze up in portions), a batch of vegetable soup (you guessed it, frozen portions), a chocolate cake (gluten free, dairy free, and, froze slices), and a batch of date, coconut and chocolate protein balls for healthy snacks during the week. Phew - I'm exhausted now! hehehe. Sending best wishes to you all xx

Hello Dear CHRIS , been a while , thinking of you and family , glad to hear all is well and Holly is doing well , wish her healing and good health . Love all the photos , lovely flowers and all the food and snacks . Good food , so you had a happy time shopping , here its been too hot to go out for me , been staying indoor , there are mosquitos and I keep getting bitten , its been very distressing , cannot go ut in the garden that I get bites , its not just me but a national problem , even with repellant I get bitten . The weather has been hot since may and no rain , the grass in the garden has dried up , its a disaster we need rain asap .With this heat I been feeling tired , now is not as hot but still no rain , hopefully the week coming should rain , so the air will refresh and also it will help with bugs and mosquitos , we even have fleas , mice , its unbelievable what is happening because of the hot weather .Wishing you and family , peace , love , good health and many blessings , much love Lucy
