Friday Evening Ramblings

Happy Friday evening everybody. I guess we can thank Blogger for giving us the day off from blogging. I don't appear to have anything new on mine as of 6:30 PM. The picture is from a family gathering that took place a few weeks back and seated at the table is yours truly and Linda's brother, Joe but we call him Junior. Just thought you would like a picture along with my ramblings.

Tomorrow is supposed to be a rainy day here in NC. Linda & I will have to be out in it as we are going to my oldest daughter's place in Fuquay-Varina, NC for my grandaughter Ashley house warming. Yes, she is going to find out how the rest of us live with rent, utility payments, phone bills, etc. I guess there comes a time when teens feel they just have to spread their wings and do their own thing. Hopefully it won't be a hard lesson for Ashley.

It was a slow day at work with not much activity on the phone which translates to not many service calls for my 5 guys to handle. I even had time to defrag my computer so you know I was bored.

What in the world is going on with gas prices? This morning I filled up for $3.70 a gal. while in the same town there are stations selling theirs for $3.89. This is in the same town. Makes no sense at all but it sure has slowed Linda and I down except for the family gatherings that we feel we must attend.

Well my friends, after the long break we had today I felt like I needed to at least say "HEY" and have a great weekend so take care and be good. If you can't be good, be careful.

Bet you thought I was through - Wrong

Believe it or not I still have some friends I haven't introduced you to yet. One of them is Alexia over at The Mommy Rambles. She is a single mom raising a couple of great boys. She is one voracious reader and gets a lot of free books in return for giving her honest review. I am reading one now that she sold me on. She also has some of the best links on the internet to helpful and fun stuff. Check her out.

Desiree down in South Africa has been a real joy since I discovered her blog Driftwood Ramblings. I never realized how absolutely gorgious South Africa was until she opened my eyes with her husbands amazing photography. Add to that their love for animals with pictures that just make you want to linger and fall in love with their beautiful rescued dogs. Do yourself a favor and get to know Des like I have.

Was concerned about my next friend Jilda at Transformation Information down in Alabama where a lot of the destruction happened recently. They lost power but that was all praise God. Jilda is a lovely lady that is multi-talented in that she is a writer, song writer, musician and teaches yoga. Give her some blog love and pop over to see her and I bet you go back.

Now this last lady for today, Skippymom, is no stranger to a lot of bloggers. Her blog, I Make Soap, is always filled with smiles and love. Her colorfully named family members and stories will delight you and make you feel right at home. Stop in for a spell and see why the rest of us do on a regular basis.

You are probably saying to yourself, self, Odie is keeping up with way too many blogs and that may well be true but to me they are family and once you get to know them it's not an option to walk away. Have a super tuesday.
