Stacey Spotting!

[Donna]

Well hopefully sometime today we might get to see Stacey ( like a rare bird that we are waiting to see ) he he.

She is in the middle of a HUGE move.........but sometime today she might get some computer access....

So...........let's be on the lookout for Stacey!

Be very very quiet..............get out your binoculars............

:)

[Amy Eileen]

lol Thats cute Donna! I am very excited to catch a glimpse of our rare friend. ;)

[Sandersmr]

I imagine she will be up to her eyeballs in boxes and tissue paper - I just hope she has the computer box well marked!!! She said that it was packed and shipped with the movers - what was she thinking!!!

[vanillalatte]

Don't forget the call to attract the rare Stacey-bird!!!

HEY STACEY!! I'VE GOT SOME CHOCOLATE TO SHARE!! ;) ;) ;)

[Sandersmr]

LOL LaDonna - that should do it!

[carla]

I Have Plenty Of M&m's!!!!!

[Bek, aka opeysmama]

Stacey is a doll isn't she!! We're all so happy she is here and I'm just so happy to be here with all of YOU too!!

[Donna]

Let's be patience as we continue to watch..........

I think if we all start scrapping.........she will appear.......

Let's give it a try!

:D

[Sandersmr]

ummm, Donna if I started scrapping now, I would get fired :D

But keeping my eyes peeled for that elusive plumage that marks the Stacey bird!!!

Oh - and laying out Dove bars as an enticement....

[Bek, aka opeysmama]

Can you guys kill the junk food talk, I'm on a diet :)
I'll just get out my carrot sticks :) Oh wait, the crunching might frighten her away, eeek!

[Kryss Bourque]

I'm hoping to see her in the next couple of weeks in Boston (we're going to NH for vacation)!!! I'll give her a hug from each of you and I'll try to get a few pics!!! HEHE

[Sandersmr]

So not fair, Kryss!!!!

shhhh, I hear rustling - you think that's Stacey digging out from all the newsprint and bubble wrap?

[Donna]

I'm hoping to see her in the next couple of weeks in Boston (we're going to NH for vacation)!!! I'll give her a hug from each of you and I'll try to get a few pics!!! HEHE

OK-- that is just cruel.............

You better post some photos or you will be in SO much trouble!

[Donna]

Remember...........

you must be berry berry quiet when you're hunting Stacey's.............

:D

[Sandersmr]

and throw down lots of chocolate....

[Debb Cozzi]

Well......I have NOT actually 'spotted' the exotic Stacey-bird but I DID hear the sweet 'chirp' of her voice!! :) :) She has made it safely to her new home and is at this very moment buying herself a brand new sofa and love-seat. (I'll let her tell you the colors!) They are still unpacking and she won't have internet access until next Tuesday.

BUT.....she did say she might sneak into DH's office and use his computer before then so keep a sharp eye out....we may have a Stacey sighting yet!! :p

[lvg4him]

**hint hint** check out the designers forum!

But not all at once. :)

[Donna]

They are still unpacking and she won't have internet access until next Tuesday.



But Debb..............DIDN'T SHE explain that her public NEEDS her??? Don't they get it??? Well I guess we do need to let her unpack..............

The waiting is killing us............

Donna:D

[Debb Cozzi]

Oh I heard the Stacey-bird chirping again!! ;) She is home from the furniture store and delighted with her new sofa and chairs!! She is a bit concerned though and I think I know how we can lure her out....it seems that she LOVES Tropicana diet orange soda. And, guess what?!!! They don't market product that in New England!!!!!

Sooooooooo start popping those soda cans girls and maybe the sound of the 'whizzzz' will call her out!! :) :) :)

[Amy Eileen]

Good to hear everything went well for her and the family. Hope she does manage to sneak online for a bit. :D

[Sandersmr]

Oh man - a trip to the store for the Orange Soda. All I have is Diet Berries and Cream Dr. Pepper.

[Stacey Jewell Stahl]

Stacey is 90% unpacked!!! :) WOO HOO! Oh, and that means she's a bit tired.

I'll be connected on Tuesday!! Right now I'm heading to the pet store to get Fluffy - the cat we've been promising Alannah for 18 months. :)

See you on Tuesday!! Lots of chocolate coming your way!!

[Debb Cozzi]

[lvg4him]

I might have to convience hubby to get an RV and spend a few months touring this wonderful nation of ours to meet all you great ladies! we could write it off for tax purposes if I considered it a home school field trip, right?? :D

[Stephanie]

Of coarse she's unpacked....she hasn't had internet. Could you imagine how much we'd get done if we didnt' have our computers!

MAn, I missed her, must have blinked

[Sandersmr]

LOL Stephanie - I might have clean clothes and a semi-clean house!!!

[carla]

[Stacey Jewell Stahl]

Ta-Da!!! I'm PLUGGED IN!!!! And I'm using a split keyboard that had been in storage for a while so please ignore my typos.

I can't wait to take some pics of my new home and yard and do some layouts! OH MY we are in a beautiful place!!

It's SO GOOD to be home!!! I'm gonna cruise the gallery for a bit and then make dinner.

HUGS!!!

[MommySpice]

[Bek, aka opeysmama]

Howdy friend!! I have been so so dying to talk to you! I know you're slammed so I'll be patient :) HUGS! Congrats on the move going well!

[Stacey Jewell Stahl]

I'm doing GREAT!!!! I saw the Atlantic Ocean for the first time this week. Oh, yes, I had seen Long Island Sound before - - - but EVERYONE in CT was so insistent that it's NOT the ocean that I was so excited I could FINALLY say, "I saw the Atlantic!" I'd been to Florida several times, but never the beach, and seen the Pacific in San Fransisco and San Diego and from the plane at LAX. So this was a big deal!! :)

btw - - I'm typing better on this split keyboard now. Now if I could stop the typos altogether . . . .hmmmmm.

[umajo]

good to see you on deck stacey and in a home at last :D

[Sandersmr]

Hi Stacey - and if you ever figure out to eliminate typos, please let me know.

[Stephanie]

For a while at work, i had a split keyboard at work, a regular one at home, and then the laptop one.....

Finally I ditiched the split board, and used a straigt one, but my fingers we always confused!

[Donna]

I'm doing GREAT!!!! I saw the Atlantic Ocean for the first time this week.

WAHOO-- can't wait to see PHOTOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sandersmr]

Oh Stacey - you ever see the Gulf of Mexico, girl??? You need to see the Third Coast just for the heck of it.

[Amy Eileen]

Welcome back sweetie, its good to have you back online with us. You know, the Atlantic is at the bottom of my street, well almost. lol You can come and visit me and stare at it for days and days and days! You're all welcome. :D ;)

[showme]

Stacey, Stacey, Stacey! Hello, hello, hello! And I'm so anxious to hear how Michael's first sermon went yesterday. Hope you can point us to a web site for his church. And I pray there are small children around your neighborhood for Alannah! Hugs, and hugs, and more hugs!

[vanillalatte]

Welcome back, sweetie!! So glad to hear you've gotten settle and your back in action! I'm up to my eyeballs this week, but will be back at it this weekend. Can't wait!

[Stacey Jewell Stahl]

Stacey, Stacey, Stacey! Hello, hello, hello! And I'm so anxious to hear how Michael's first sermon went yesterday. Hope you can point us to a web site for his church. And I pray there are small children around your neighborhood for Alannah! Hugs, and hugs, and more hugs!
Michael's first sermon was AMAZING!! He talked about the widow at Nain and how Jesus met her at the crossroads . . . how he was in agony over her pain and suffering . . . how he went to her and comforted her and then raised her son from the dead. The question he asked us was, "When Jesus meets you at your crossroads, what burden will you let him take from you? . . . He's ready to lift your burden if you let it go." Oh, it was awesome!

We've not met any small neighborhood children yet, but Alannah will be starting Daisies this fall. Just yesterday we got a call that the kindergarten class that we were 2nd on the waiting list for had an opening! Praise God! She'll be attending a small Christian school.

Mary, one of the hopes that the congregation has is that Michael will start a church website. I would love to help him, but I know two html codes - - - and they are for creating links and hotlinks. Not much help, am I? I have taken some lovely photos of the church though!!

That sermon sounds amazing. I'll have to pass that thought on to my mom, grandma and DH. Very encouraging. Can I have the scripture refrence?


FYI, Rachel is also a HTML Queen....

Luke 7
Jesus Raises a Widow's Son
11Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. 12As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. 13When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, "Don't cry."

14Then he went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. He said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!" 15The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16They were all filled with awe and praised God. "A great prophet has appeared among us," they said. "God has come to help his people." 17This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea[a] and the surrounding country.

*****************************

Michael said that in the original Greek in v13 (his heart went out to her) translates to "He felt so bad for her that it was like his guts were being ripped out." He didn't just feel sad for her or have pity for her, he was in agony over the loss of her son.

[Donna]

shhh Maggie.............don't get her hopes up!

Stacey -- we'd love to have you --but the 3rd coast is a bit to be desired-- at least along the Texas shore............but head over to Bec's................

WAHOO--NOW THAT IS SOME COASTLINE!!!!

[Sandersmr]

Hey Donna! It's what we got and it's 45 minutes away, at least for me.

[rlma]
