How are you today?

Seems like you enjoyed my pictures from Italy yesterday. :)

So far my week is quiet, not much going on, not much to tell. Is that a good or a bad thing?

1. Good morning

I'm feeling well, just another sleepless night is all. :)

I don't have much to say about what is going other then it's still really hot. It's been below 110 for a few days but expected to be 110+ for at least the next 2 days.

I have noticed I share local weather updates with you quite often for some reason I can't figure out considering you live many miles awhile. Anyways hope you have a good, eventful day. :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Good morning Jon

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Sorry to hear that you can't sleep :hug:

Hmmmm ..... maybe you share the weather updates either to make me jealous or to make me feel better, considering the temps are in the lower 80s here and reasonable :)

[JonLP24]

4. I could take a dose of 80's considering I've been facing 100-115 all summer

I'm actually jealous of you but not during the wintertime :) I've never been a fan of the freezing cold. I bet you are enjoying the weather over there, I know I would be.

[MissHoneychurch]

6. But the air is fresh during winter

and it is fun to go skiing :) But I admit, I prefer summer. More fun and I can wear all my nice tops :D

3. I'm still working on good night, ma'am.

Trying to wind down from a horrible, horrible night at work.

And it's finally my Friday, after a ten-day stretch of nutso wacky can't-be-done-but-must-be-done silliness.


Tuscany looks looooovely!

[MissHoneychurch]

5. Ought I wish you a good night then

instead of Good morning? :hug:

Sure sounds like you had a rough week :pals: I wish you a relaxing and calm and peaceful weekend!!!

7. good morning Miss HoneyChurch.

Your photographs are beautiful.

I'm up raring to go. Puppy walked, lunches made, showered, now drinking my coffee. Another 10 hr day ahead. I don't mind the overtime much. With my husband working a different shift than me, there's no worry about getting home to make his dinner.

I hope your days continue to be quiet :)

9. Good morning aA

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I am working today with old books. I have to change their location and I am getting myself confused :crazy: Other than that it is quiet and I enjoy the day. Almost lunchbreak :)

I wish you a good and quiet day as well!!

8. Good morning MissHoneychurch !

Sorry that I missed your thread yesterday. :blush:
Another fantastic photo ! Beautiful scenery.I'm so
glad that you had a good time. :hug: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

10. Good morning Jeff

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

No problem, the thread is still on page one ... :)

I had a great time and even got a tan and no sunburn :)

[Callalily]

11. Good morning MissH!

Lovely picture.

So this is how my day started. I woke up early (which is not too unusual, but a bit annoying) and I started a pot of coffee. While packing my lunch I look over and notice that I forgot to put the coffee pot on the coffee maker. Needless to say, coffee was all over my counter. I hope the day gets better. ;)

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

12. Good morning Callalily

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Ugh .... definitely not the best way to start the day. I cross my fingers that your day gets better (do you know how hard it is to type with crossed fingers?)

Or get yourself one of these ...

[Callalily]

13. Ohhhhhhh, I like that!

I used to have a French press that I used for tea, but alas, I broke it and did not replace it.

I simply ADORE kitchen gadgets/kitcheny things. I have to practice restraint every time I got into a kitchen supply store.

14. Good Afternoon, MissH!

I'm sorry about getting your monthly contest suggestion pulled. I'm feeling really bad about it, but the calendar contests (full of animals) is going to go up right after the September contest. I'm sorry.


Oh and quiet is definitely good! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

15. Good morning blueraven

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Don't worry, I understand. There will be other contests when we can use that topic. It is funny, I suggested that topic before and never had much response to it. Now, when it isn't possible the people vote for it. Go figure :crazy:

So the calendar contests start soon. :woohoo: Are you going to do it like last year?

[blueraven95]

19. I'm still working out how I'm going to do them

We had more people submit this year, so I think there are going to have to be two sets of polls to narrow things down.

I've still got about 30 photos to go through to make sure they fit the technical specs, but otherwise, the majority of the hard work is done. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

26. Looking forward to it

can't wait to see what the others submitted. I hope I have a chance. It is a good feeling to have a picture in a calendar :)

[blueraven95]

31. I think you have a pretty good chance

:D


There are a lot of really good pics though...I don't know how people are going to choose. Seriously, I could put together about 10 different calendars with the submissions I got.

[cwydro]

16. Hello Miss Honeychurch.

Drinking my coffee fresh from my French Press and waiting for some toast to be ready.

Uneventful is good sometimes. Have fun with the old books...

[MissHoneychurch]

21. Good morning cwydro

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I am having fun with the old books. I always have fun with books, no matter how old they are :)

What are your plans for today?

[cwydro]

28. After finishing my morning workouts,

I have to go to the grocery store. Ugh.

But the critters need food.

[NJmaverick]

17. Good Morning MHC, Quiet after a vacation is a good thing

What are they growing that makes their hills look like a desert landscape.

[MissHoneychurch]

22. Good morning NJmaverick

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

It is the soil that is quite grey, that makes it look like a desert from the distance. It is the area around Casciana Terme


Here is a pic when it is green (from the Internet)

18. Good afternoon, MissHoneychurch

Got any updates on your country's general election?

and HOW does an official let a bulletproof Mercedes-Benz get stolen??

[MissHoneychurch]

24. Good morning Blue_Tires

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Not much going on at the moment. The signs are out on the streets. But they don't have an influence on me. I already know who I will vote for.

I have no idea how that car was stolen. But I was annoyed by the so-called outrage by the media. Much ado about nothing to speak with Shakespeare.

[Brewman_Jax]

20. G'day, MissH!

:hi: :hug:

Where did you go in the Tuscany area? Did you see any old ruins?

[Blue_Tires]

23. here are the rest of the shots:

34. Thanks for the link

:thumbsup:

[MissHoneychurch]

25. Good morning Brewman

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

we were near Pisa. Not much ruins actually. But a lot old buildings for sure :)

[Brewman_Jax]

30. I guessed that you may see some old Roman ruins

but they're likely buried if they're still there. How's work so far? Do you need a vacation to recover from your vacation? :P

[MissHoneychurch]

32. But Roman ruins

are closer to Rome :P

There are Etruskan findings but we didn't go there.

So far I am doing OK during my work week. Ask me again next week :D

[Brewman_Jax]

33. Etruscan ruins?

I didn't know that there were still any left after the Romans defeated them and took over that part of Italy. I'd like to see those.

At least you have the weekend to look forward to. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

36. Yes, there are still some around
