Yoo hoo! Where is everyone today? When I was in Stanley, Idaho last month, I was just over the ridge from this fire. The smoke was brutal on my asthma. We moved to a different lodge down the road a piece and it was much better although we could certainly still see the effects of this gigantic fire. Did you know that wildfires like this create their own weather? Besides plumes of smoke, they can create huge billowy clouds.

Did my fire video scare everyone away today?

I'm here. Horrible fire. They've just been so bad this year. JL, thanks for the video.
The hair thing I got is like a curling iron brush....the Perfector or something like that...

We went to my daughters tonight and out to dinner. It was Kayla's first homecoming. Her boyfriend didn't go and she went with a group of girls. They looked so pretty.

I went to a luncheon at my friends house today and reconnected with an old friend...fun.

That's about it from my side of town.

Sorry SLIN, just had a chance to watch the video. That is crazy! And no, I didn't know that these large fires could create their own weather.

Jodi said...

SLIN - p.s. Please wish your brother a Happy Birthday from me :D

Jodi said...

DIANNE - I bet Kayla looked beautiful! Tim has decided to go to Homecoming next weekend with a bunch of his buddies. We are going shopping later today for dress pants and a shirt. Thankfully I have $40 in Kohl's cash and an extra 20% off coupon!!

Dianne/Denver said...

Jodi...This proud Nana posted her picture on FB so go take a peek. I think the kids have a great time together. Kayla was up for royalty but didn't win. Exciting that she was in the running. I'm glad Tim is going. I just think these activities are good for them. What grade is he in again? Kayla's in 9th.

JL..Happy Birthday to you brother. Have a fun celebration.

I just woke up to potty now back to sleep

Jodi said...

DIANNE - Such a pretty girl! So glad she had a good time! Sleep well pretty lady ♥

Thanks for sending that in, J/L. Wow, I could not have imagined the severity of that fire even though it was all over the news. It was interesting to see how the helicopters draw up the water from the ground source. It always seemed to me that when they dropped the water that it was too small an amount to do any good...kinda like just spitting on it. I'm sure that's not true, but that's where my warped mind goes.

Sorry I was MIA yesterday. I was making cards with the Jennifers. We started our Christmas cards last week and tried to finish them yesterday. We are making two different cards and we did finish 96 of one style, so we each have 32 cards so far. We also did all the prep for the second card (another 96) but haven't set a date to finish them. We are hoping to get them done before I leave.

sacBarb said...

Dianne, Kayla is so pretty. Of course she takes after Nana. She probably will be nominated many times for royalty throughout her high school years. Making the scrapbook for my kids brought back lots of memories of homecoming and the dances the boys attended and the girls they took to the dances.

sacBarb said...

Jodi, Can't beat Kohl's cash plus a coupon.

sacBarb said...

Mary, Have you dried out from all that rain yet? It rained here most of the day yesterday, but it started after got to Jennifer's and stopped right before I left, so only my car got soaked.

Jodi said...

BARB - U got that right!! I got Tim dress pants, shirt, tie and a belt for $47!!! Score!!!

Jodi said...

Woot, woot!! I got my phone to cooperate!!

Jodi said...

DIANNE - Sam just stopped at the house. Nate is taking her to see The Wizard of Oz in IMAX 3d. Had u heard about this? I wish I could go, but am starting 2 hours early tomorrow. We have our Kwik Clean judging tomorrow, and I'm steam cleaning the cappuccino machines before I have to open the store and do books.

Jodi said...

Rough loss for the Packers. What a game, though!

Jodi said...

Waving a wing...with half an eye open ;)

Just_Lin said...

HOdi - Mervyn's used to be my "go to" store but now it's Kohl's. I always find something to spend my money on there. Good job shopping for Tim's clothes. Don't you just love it when you get a good deal? That's the one thing about shopping that I enjoy.

Just_Lin said...

Barb- Wow! You got a lot done with the cards. I always look forward to seeing your Xmas cards.

Just_Lin said...

Dianne- I agree with HOdi. Kayla is such a pretty girl. She will be nominated again, I'm sure. I hope she and her friends had fun at the dance. I used to enjoy all those high school activities.

Just_Lin said...

Mary - Where are you?

Jodi said...

Just got back from getting "the girls" squished. I hadn't had a mammogram since I had my first on at the age of 40. My Aunt Jane made me promise to get one and a yearly physical, so I'm keeping my end of my promise.

We did well on our Kwik Clean. 99.5%!!! So glad I went in early to work on the cappuccino machines. They were a disaster!! It was very evident that they hadn't been touched all weekend.

Heading off to take a nap before Jake's football game. He is really doing well. After just playing 2 games they have moved him to first string defense!!

Jodi said...

Paul was sweet and stopped by the store this morning with an Anniversary card and Hazelnut Chocolates!!

Jodi said...

25!!!

sacBarb said...

Jodi, Happy Anniversary to you and Paul. Hope you have many, many more happy years together.

sacBarb said...

J/L, we did make a lot of cards, but we are splitting them among the three of us so we need a lot. I'm happy you look forward to getting my card. I almost never know how they are received.

Jodi said...

BARB - You always make the most beautiful cards!! Maybe I'll get my box of crayons out for you this year ;) Ha!!!

Jodi said...

Just got back from Jake's game. He played a fair game and I heard his name called plenty of times for tackles. Sadly they lost 36-0....ouch!

Jodi said...

Heading to bed....

Good night HOoters!

Mary/MI said...

Hi gals, sorry to be so late checking in. Remeber , my internet recycles on the 22nd of each month. I went over my data as it was. I had to wait till midnight Sat. to get back online. Vids really eat up my data so I don't open too many of them.

Barb,We did get soaked at the BB game, but it was a warm night and..we won !
I slept most of Sat. Jim did the volunteering at the VFW. for me.

Sadly we have 2 more funerals to go to and on the same day! Both were my age! One died of diabetes complications, the other a heart attack! Jim was just telling me that yesterday would have been his bff birthday (He died 2 yrs ago), then he heard about his friend having the heart attack! So sad he was a sweet guy. He and his sons built our garage. Peeps have got to quit dying on us, seriously!

Dianne,I loved Kayla's picture . Thanks for sharing! Keep that snow please!!
Jodi, yay on the bargains, Yay on your Anniversary! , Yay on your good Quick cleaning report! and boo on you team losing!
JL, I will check out a tiny bit of you vid lol!

Dianne/Denver said...

Jodi....one of my tassels quit twirling when I was cheering the Packers. It was a wardrobe malfunction so that's probably why they lost.

We had a great game tonight and beat the Raiders. It was a beautiful night out for a game. I miss going to them. We had my ex SIL and friend over to watch the game. We did take out and a couple of easy snacks.

Thanks for the compliments on Kayla's picture. They had a great time at the dance, going to eat, etc.

Mary, sorry you have all these funerals to go to....sad.

Jodi, Happy Anniversary. Congratulations on your stores score too. I hope Jake is enjoying playing football.

JL...funny, I never find anything I like at Kolhs. There clothes don't hang right over by boobs and pants are too short. I hate to shop.

Barb, I love receiving your cards. They are always so beautiful. I wish I had talent like you do.

sacBarb said...

Thank you all for the nice comments about my cards. I know you are all just kissing up, but that's OK. LOL

My eyes are getting droopy so I wish you all sweet dreams.
