Saturday ~ March 14 - Pi Day

[Pat B]

A sad day on the RT - as we have lost one of our own again. Barb - we are all thinking of you and your family.

It's Pi Day (3/14) - I always think of Jackie.

I'm off to the shower and on to work.

Hi Everyone.

Another sad day, indeed. I never got over missing Birdie here on the RT. She was full of fire and fun.

My thought and prayers go out to her dear Mother, who we all love and treasure. (((((Barb))))

Have to keep the museum doors open today and it's raining.

Will check back this evening.

Posted earlier, but nobody saw! (Can you delete it Elaine, I can't seem to find how to do it. )

Awake early, lovely day out there. Might bake some things.
Thinking of Barb and Elaine today - this has been a week and a half...
Love to all.

Good morning thinking of Barb and her family today...

Extremely thankful that I don't have to go to work today and deal with certain individuals...Now if I keep from running into them here at home my life will be wonderful! Nothing planned for today except more sleep....

[Paula A]

Up and awake early.
(((((Barb))))) you are in my thoughts. Last week for Elaine and John and their loved ones, now Barb.
Bless you all to Have a good weekend.

Good morning.
Special thoughts today for Barb & Elaine. It's so hard to lose a loved one.

Yesterday morning was sunny & lovely. Come afternoon, it was very cloudy; the weather report changed to a chance of rain, which didn't happen. I don't think the temps got up to the original forecast, either. Today is suppossed to be windy. Did I mention that I hate winds?

Hope you all have a good weekend.

Speaking of Pi Day..... Let's see if I got this right: The value of Pie is 3.14 (3 = Month, 14 being the day). Taking the equation further: 3.14150946
The 15 is for this year. The 0946 is the time of day (9:46 a.m.) at which time everyone is supposed to jump up and yell out "Pi".

Correction...the time should be 0923. Shows that I'm not a mathematian like E.......always has to be so darned precise in his numbers and stuff!

Hi Paula,and Donna

I almost didn't take the time to check in this morning and then I did only to see sad news. ((Barb)) I have been awake since 2:30 and didn't get much sleep the night before either. Trying to make decisions just messes up my brain and ruins my sleep habits. Today we are going to St. Louis for a first birthday party then running all the way back here to pick up Sierra and on to the mall...Sierra is working until 2:00 and Drew needs shoes. Lots of driving and back tracking but the only way to see both grandkids together today. Still raining this morning but should be shutting down soon. This is the first time since Christmas any of the family has gathered and I am looking forward to it. I still have bowels and forgotten things from the holidays sitting around and it will be good to get them gone..car is already loaded. Barb I remember when Birdie posted here...so sorry for your loss.

[Nalani]

Good morning all!

Feel so badly for Barb and thinking of she and her family and the sad times they are going through.

Maxie, I think you'd better re read your post on what you have lying around. Did make me giggle.

Am taking 3 boxes to be shredded today as they are having a shred fest this morning. And that chore will be taken care of. I do have a shredder but I let the papers pile up and it gets too much to shred at one time. I need to learn to get better at doing it.

Have a good day all!

[LisaUK]

Maxie - if you've got bowels lying around, you sure do need rid of them!

Good Morning! It is a very dreary wet day here & the neighbors yards are floating in rain & melted snow water.

(((Barb))) I'm so sad. Joyce & I talked several times before she came to the RU at my house. I wasn't sure how we'd do in RL since she kind of sounded like a biker momma...LOL!!! We immediately hit it off & talked several times after she went home. RL got in the way for her, but I never forgot her. I remember the wonderful Chinese meal Barb & Joyce made for us all. I remember her telling me to tell Kathy to quit being such a lil shit or she was going to come beat it out of her...LOL!!! I really could have used her services...LOL!!!

Yesterday Corky got "the call" and he DIDN'T get the job. He's very down, but secretly Becca & I were jumping for joy. I REALLY want to move back Home. We'll manage somehow someway. We are moving whether the houses sell or not. We are taking a step in Faith. Got a call from the lady I met at Recipe Club on Tuesday and she ordered a pie & a plate of cookies for today. For supper I made a homemade pizza using a new crust recipe I found on FB. It was good. I liked that it got kneeded completely by the KA mixer.

I'm moving slow this morning. Becca & I stayed up until almost 1am talking & I know I didn't fall asleep until after 2am. I didn't get up until almost 9am. I've got the pie in the oven right now. As a treat, we are taking Becca out for Chinese for a late lunch. Kathy is getting Blaise sometime this morning & taking him to BK in Willard that apparently has a play area. We've got to get this place ready for another showing. A brand new realtor is showing it tomorrow after. Our house will only be the second house she's shown. I'm taking it that the buyers requested to see our house. The first house she's showing is across town. With the house being shown so often lately, it hasn't gotten too messy. Becca will be leaving for college after church, so her room will be empty & clean. I sure will miss her.

Have a good one all!

Good morning, all. Yes it is a sad day for me but it's good to see how many friends Joyce has. I can't stay on Facebook very long as there have been so many pictures posted I start crying. Especially the one of her and Kathy together when they were kids. Kathy had Polio when she was about four and spent most of her life in a wheel chair. She passed away several years ago and I think of the two of them running and playing now.
And that made me start, too.
We will, I believe, have a simple memorial here in the rec room. It's seems like rushing things but her youngest daughter and her sister are here and can't be here long. Ergo, simple gathering of friends and family.
Poor Ross is so bumfuzzled that he can't make decisions so I have been doing it for him.
Thank you all for your kindness.

Maxie, I am much in agreement with Nalani and especially Lisa. Get those things out of your house.

[Paula A]

Barb, I know you know this, but just do what you and the family want. Whatever helps the family heal is what you want. The messages will be there. And they will add comfort.
