Good morning to you all! I am keeping my fingers crossed that it isn't going to rain today and we will have sunny weather for once.
CAO: Welcome, but can you explain what your posting line is about? We old ladies get confused easily!
Jean: I don't wear my rings unless I am going out somewhere. When I was young I thought it was some sort of premonition to doomed marriage to take them off, but then I took them off because the prong on the wedding band broke, we had to travel to my mil's funeral and our car caught fire and burned everything to bits, one of which was my wedding set. Here I am almost 37 years later and we are happier than ever so I think we survived the rings being off my finger!
My fingers seem to swell now too off and on and I find that my current ring can scratch me while sleeping so I quit wearing them all the time. Unfortunately, my current ring just lost a stone, a large sapphire so I can't wear it until I get it replaced. Bummer!
Susan: Va turns your car inside out for inspection. Our inspection here is emissions, brakes, parking brake, lights, horn and windshield wipers. I was looking yesterday at knitting tshirts sayings and saw some cute quilting ones.
I want to buy a funny tshirt to wear with jeans.
Monday is my birthday and I got some great cologne and hand cream called Endless. It is soooo yummy smelling and I just love it. Jack likes it too, which is a bonus
I guess I better get my day going. I hear that the washer is finished so everything needs transferred to the dryer. Have a grand weekend everyone.

I remember the same superstition about taking your rings off when we got engaged. I hope you can have your missing stone replaced. I do feel "naked" if I go somewhere w/o my watch, rings, and earrings. I have several chains with one pendant but none of the bigger ones that are popular right now. Are you and Jack doing anything special to celebrate your birthday? I have trouble finding a fragrance that stays with me more than a couple hours. 
from Iowa!
The China luncheon was fun -- lots of different table settings which reminded me of Sandra Lee on the Food Channel. The salads were delicious and the program was on decorating put on by the same gal I heard right after school got out at another shindig. She has added clothes and jewelry to her store which is in a remodeled barn on the edge of town. I've never been in there and should go have a look. Bob just left for the farm and they hope to get a good start before the beans get too tough after dark. We are in a wind advisory for tomorrow so that should prove interesting for them. Chili sounds good 
except it is almost 80 degrees outside right now. It cools down fast after the sun goes down. I have tried the relaxed fit jeans and they are too big in the butt and legs for me. Mine are straight leg and low waist, with a little stretch but not much; because I'm short waisted they fit just right. I've tried on so many jeans over the years that if I ever find another pair that fits like I like them to, I will buy all the store has!
