Supposed to be 90 here tomorrow. And supposed to be pretty on Sunday ... no rain in the forecast. Going to eat out with 'All My Children'.

A HUNDRED AND TEN DOLLARS!!! Where in the world did you eat woman? Was that just for two people? My daughter and I ate lunch at Red Lobster today and I thought $32 was bad enough. But, of course, since she is doing WW we didn't get dessert! She's lost 16 1/2 pounds in the last 4 weeks!

I picked my daughter up at the hospital where she works today at 12 and on the way to Red Lobster she said she had a tape she wanted me to hear. She put the tape in and the group singing was really good. When the second song started, I asked her if I could borrow the tape and copy it (it was a gospel tape). She started laughing and said, "Sure... you do know that that is 'us'!" I just looked at her ... baffled ... for about 10 seconds ... then I realized I had been listening to my own children singing. They are really good!!! (My son, daugher and daughter-in-law) I told her they could go professional if they weren't all so busy. They had made the tape while singing at their church. I'm going to see about getting them to come to our church sometime soon. I have to sing at a Women's Conference next month ... for about 30 minutes straight. My mouth gets so dry when I do something like that. I have to get my songs lined up in the order I'm going to sing them and then hubby will burn the tracks all on one CD for me. My kids used to sing with me ... we went every where and sang as a group for years but they grew up and started doing other things. I'm just glad they are back singing now. I wish you all could hear them!

I lost another pound this week ... 22 down since around Thanksgiving!

Meme..if a wind comes up you will blow away

Got my hand trimming done today.....and have a new cookie recipe I want to try, it only make 12 so I should be ok Still working on getting the garden ready, potted some pots of pansies and now need to get the rest of my flowers bought. We had a big wind storm go through again and I had to quick get everything in the gargage.. Mother nature is just not cooperating and I'm getting tired of it!

I am so sore fgrom gardening-hope I am not so bad tomorrow for the trip to NY. Meme, the prices in the Northeast are much higher than the South, But I would never go to that restaurant without a gift certificate, which we had to use up. Houses are at least doubled. Best bet, sell your home here and buy one in the South. Oh yesh, that's what we are doing. We will sell the condo here, pay off our mortgage, and have some left to buy a park model in FL. But those prices are going up too. Bye for now. Mima

Oh nonono!!! I have a loooong way to go before I'll blow away! Trust me! And why on earth would you want to give up your cookies (or anything else for that matter) as skinny as you are? That's what keeps you sane!!! Here have a few on Me-me!

Mima ... hurry and move ... then I'll have two friends to go visit the next time I go to the ocean!!! What fun!!! I don't think we are going to make it down this year. We have planned too many 'mini' vacations. I really like doing that, though. It gives you lots of little breaks during the year instead of one big one. Maybe next year. We have been going to Gulf Shores but I'm thinking it's time for a change. We just might make it to FL one of these times and who knows ... I may arrange to meet up with you and Joanne. Wouldn't that be cool???

We're going down to the Boat Dock to eat with friends tonight ... there's a floating restaurant on the lake ... catfish and hushpuppies ... oh boy ... look out ... I just may not fit in that new outfit I bought for Mother's Day tomorrow morning!!!

Meme- Come on down to Fl. It would be great for the three of us to get together.. Wonder who else we could get down here. My sister would more likely be with me and we would have a great time.
All you great girls have a WONDERFUL MOTHERS DAY.My son is taking me out on his boat in the Gulf for half the day and then we are going to cook out in the evening..
Bye for now- Joanne

Happy Mother's Day-yeah, we will have a reunion. Went out to a chinese restaurant and my son ordered everything in sight-lots of leftovers-he paid the bill-not used to these kids working-my daughter gave me a gift certificate for a facial/ It'sa my grandaughter's birthday today-14. She says she will meet us on Broadway-she loves it so much/ Haven't even put my stuff in the suitcase. Bye for now. Mima
