Sending my prayers for all of you in Fl. or have family there. Please let us know you are ok when this storm is past you.

Good Morning Y'all! Eileen - This is going to be a long day for you with your surgery being so late. You can try putting some water in your mouth, then spitting it out. You might also try brushing your teeth, that probably will help too. I did exactly the same thing you did, I cooked up a bunch of stuff for DH and it worked just fine. The second week was a little tough because he decided he wanted fried potatoes, and it really got to me smelling them cook! It won't be long and you will be in bandland! It is really funny, I was really nervous right up until I got to the hospital, then for some reason, I felt really calm, not scared at all. I guess I just knew I was doing the right thing and it would all be ok. Pat - I am working on the pictures! I will be gone much of the day today, but maybe I can post them tonight or tomorrow. I'll be in and out, on and off all day as I have a couple of appointments and some errands to run too. DH took a couple yesterday, I just haven't had time to look and see if they even turned out. Catch y'all later!

Good Luck! What you are feeling right now is just normal! Post and let us know how your are doing when you can!

Welcome to bandland!

Great pictures Lisa! You look great!

Paula - When I was young, we did about the same as you, only we had 3 nights of trick or treating. We didn't have all the bad stuff going on back then. When my kids were young, we lived at the lake. They did about the same thing we did when we were young, but then one year they decided to have all the kids in one place. So we had a big party and all the parents brought their candy there. We got in a huge circle and passed the candy out to each of the kids walking past. Before they got to have the candy though, we played games, danced, and everyone brought a dish to pass. We made the kids eat before they got any candy. It was great, so we decided to do it every year. They still wore their costumes and got their candy too! Now, we block the street off here and all the neighbors have a block party and cookout. When kids come up, we all walk over to the block off and pass out the candy. The kids and parents both love it because they don't have to walk to each house, and we have fun too! We have all been making our plans for this year!

Whoooo Hoooo Kel! I think that is great! Glad you treated yourself, that is a great treat too!

Morning Y'all! It is a chilly one this morning, my windows are open and I think I might have to put them down a little bit! Beanie - I rode on the back of DH for a year before I got my own. I was not a small person! But, I must say that it is much better on my own bike, and I can see more too! Cindy - I didn't know you lived in Sanger! I wish I had known, I might have been able to meet up with you. Although since you weren't home all day probably not, but we could have tried! I love your town! Maybe we will be down that way again soon, if so I will let you know ahead of time. Eileen - Are you staying busy? Yes, don't forget to take those pictures! You will use them over and over through out your journey! I spent the night at the hospital, then the next morning went down for the test and they released me right after that, probably around 10:00 a.m. I don't know what we are going to do today, DH is taking the bikes down and putting gas in them. I wonder if he is planning on riding again today? Maybe later when it gets a little warmer. Right now I am putting on a big pot of soup, it will be good for lunch next week and keep the house a little warmer too! Everyone have a great day, I'll check back later!

Good Luck Becky! Keeping everything I can crossed for you!

Welcome to LBT! Good luck with your surgery! Please post and let us know how you are when you get a chance. Read as much as you can on here, you will learn a lot of valuable information from all these threads!

You both look great!

Hi Y'all! We have been out riding the Harleys. We decided to go one the Harley owners group ride today. Well, it was 52 degrees when we left this morning, and let me tell you it was COLD! I was the only gal there, so it was me with a bunch of guys! We headed out to Sanger (?) not sure if that is how you spell it, but they take the long way around. We were about 9 or so miles from there and went way out some more, then crossed the Ray Robers Lake. We stopped on the lake and took some pictures. We rode back into Sanger and ate at Babe's. I don't know if y'all have ate at a Babe's place, but if you haven't, it is well worth stopping and trying it. This is my second time at one and I love it. Of course it wasn't exactly band friendly, but every once in a while you just have to do something. I had fried chicken, mashed taters/gravy (yummy) and a bite of corn. They also bring rolls, green beans, and biscuits. Everyone else had catfish, and I tried a bite of it and it was yummy too! Of course you have to have a big cold glass of ice tea too! Anyway, we put on about 175 miles this morning and it was a beautiful ride. I had to laugh when I put on my leathers, my coat was so big on me I could wrap it! But, it served the purpose and I really don't want to invest in a new one until I have lost some more. At least I can put a lot of heavy clothing under it! Eileen - I bought Gas-X, but never used it. It is still in my cabinet. I bet you are so excited/nervous right now. I know I was. I was ready, but those feelings just have a way of getting to you. Keep busy, busy, busy! What kind of vitamins does your company make? So, what ya going to eat for your last couple of meals out? Beanie - Call Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Pretty soon they will get so sick of you they'll get you an answer! That would be neat to join a gym together, one would make the other go! Well, I need to get outside and water some flowers, we haven't had rain for so long, they are dying for a drink of water. Catch y'all later!

Congrats! It will be here before you know it so start getting ready!

Vines, it sounds to me like you did pretty good! You certainly are a busy lady! Thanks for sharing, that was quite interesting.

Awwwww Jenna, I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you, I know how special he must have been to you and your family.

Whooooo Hoooooo! I am doing the "Happy Dance" for you! :banana :banana :banana I just knew it would come through in time! O.K. Beanie, now it is your turn! Get after them people and don't take no for an answer! I actually don't think anything is wrong with my computer, I actually have been having problems with Comcast. I also have too much on here so I need more memory!

Thanks Eileen, I am going to try this one!

Sending prayers your way! I'm sorry you have to go through all this. Please keep us posted. Hugs!

Thanks Y'all! Pat I will post some pictures when I can get DH to take some. I have been trying to find something that fits me. I went looking for new jeans last week, but couldn't find anything I liked. I got sick of trying them on, each one fits differently.

Hi Y'all! Hey, I think it is a beautiful day here today! I have enjoyed it a lot today, but it does sound like a cold front is moving in tonight! I know most Texan's are ready for the cool weather, but I sure enjoy this weather we are having now, perfect for riding, walking and sitting outside. Beanie - Keep after them girl! Sooner or later they'll see you aren't giving up so they will! Eileen - I am keeping my fingers crossed for you to hear soon too! I know you are walking on pins and needles right now! Cindy - Glad you are having a great day! I went walking, then shopping, then washed some clothes and cleaned up the house a little bit. Then I worked on the computer for a couple of hours only to lose it all! UGH!!! So, I just walked away and forgot about doing it! It only hurts me, so I guess tomorrow I will work some more! Well, guess I best finish those clothes! Catch y'all later!

Whoooooo Hooooo! Great job! And, Happy Bandiversary to you!

I know you are upset, I would be too! Just remember "everything happens for a reason" even though we don't understand why. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will come through before then though.

Always better to be safe than sorry! Let us know when this settle down how you are.

Debbie, sorry you had to go through so much. Please keep posting with us!

I'll post some pictures as soon as I can.
