HI GALS
It is 8:30 Saturday morning here in

SUNNY CALIFORNIA...BOY did we have a lot of

for us this week. We sure needed it though...now if it only dries out so Ron and I can mow the grass...he sure is hoping so, he needs $$$ for the movies with his buddy...maybe I can float him some

.
Angie and I are going to the Doggy bath place today with the puppies...she is out in the garage now cleaning up their blankets and bedding from this week's MUD....we have been able to fence them out of most of the area that is dirt, but last week-end while we were at the street fair and didn't "PLAN" enough for the rain....well, let's just say THEY HAD FUN!! I gave them the entire grass area of the yard yesterday while we were at work, they were getting cabin fever with the rain...all they had was a 8'X8' spot in the garage with beds and...out the doggie door to a 20'X20' concrete area with a couple of sand boxes I made for them....they are used to having about half the yard to run and jump in the flower beds...(WELL THERE USED TO BE FLOWERS IN THEM!!) aahhh-puppies! How did they repay me? THEY ATE 2 SPRINKLER HEADS!! and tore 3' of PVC pipe outy of the ground..."PUPPIES FOR SALE...PUPPIES FOR SALE...CHEAP!"

Maybe if we get them real clean we can make a sale

...it is gonna rain next week though so we are probably just wasting our time...but then that is Ron's reasoning on bathing...WHY do I need a bath Uncle Gary, I'm just gonna get dirty tomorrow anyway?
Ryan went to the local high school football game last night between his/my alma mater and the school he is student teaching at now...we were ranked 2 in the county and them 3...no more, they won 21-7...but there was a stabbing in the parking lot ...so there was a LITTLE EXCITEMENT. Darn kids and gangs, what is gonna happen to our youth! We have lost 4 kids in our area in the last few months to shootings alone, let alone FAST driving and racing. My step-D's homecoming (the cross town high school) is next week...she has a date! for the first time for a dance...at least here the kids go in groups to the dances boys and girls...no need for a date which is way cool as far as I am concerned! Our kids never missed a homecoming or other dance they wanted to go to because of a date...heck my kids and step-d have gone out to eat all dressed up to nice places in groups of 10 or more, and no one had a date. Of course it was always a little more special when they did...had to have one for the junior and senior proms!
SUE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! How have you been?
SUNNY Thanks for remembering and looking up the birthdays for us! Something I would never remember to do! Shoot it takes me an hour just to type these posts!! SLOW!! and BOY does my finger get sore

Have been praying for Peggy even though I didn't post. Sounds like you and Joe had a great week-end relaxing last week.
MICHELE VIVA LAS VEGAS! maybe you should take Bunna up on her offer

you know... a second opinion

The flowers were sweet. Sounds like a nice guy....but....I KNOW, MIND MY OWN BUSINESS!!! seems a little fast that he wants to come and meet you, all the way from Nevada to Minnesota, in such a short time...your a big girl...JUST BE CAREFUL!!!! man! I just have to "father" all my girls!!
BUNNA I love Las Vegas, angie and I have gone 2 of the last 3 years around her spring break for Easter. Pretty cheap then, we have stayed the last 2 times at the Luxor but will stay somplace else next time we go...for a change. We have stayed at the Excalibar before with high school cross country teams...our son and his high school cross country team had a race in Las Vegas 4 years in a row. LOVE the buffet there! all I could eat at a reasonable price...plus the room (BED) was close...win-win...eat-nap!! Speaking of drag racing...ever hear of Carlsbad raceway? Just a couple of miles from me...growing up we used to go all the time to watch the races, used to love the funny cars! My dad would take us 4 kids and my uncle (dad's brother) would take my 3 cousins...spend all day!! They still have some races there...but I think they are closing it down. Sounds like the kids (may be out by now

). Enjoy your VEGAS!!
MAKY Ya coulda looked up SAMI while in INDY

Recognizing your problems (with a clear head) is the first step towards fixing situations..good luck dear. Sounds like "MOM" did her job raising DD...all unpacked and nothing to do...ahhh, shucks! GO SHOPPING!!!

SPROUT How are the kids doing? You? MILES still coming!! great job!!
ANGIE-WANGIE Good to see you from time to time. Stay.
TEEL Get some sleep girl!! Goodness. I hope you are feeling better. How is the weather over there today? Is it always a little gloomy or is that just in the movies? Love the different expressions "YOU PEOPLE" have...hard for me to understand the english movies though, always asking my wife "WHAT DID THEY SAY?" I'm a little slow

...OK a LOT!!
Well gals off to bath the puppies.
ANGIE has her website up...not sure if I can post it here but I will try. For those that don't know me..I have been here almost 2 years before my wife started this little side business...I am not trying to solicit business here and don't want in any way to jepordize my relationship on 3FC...but if I can post it and you can share with your friends her site I know she would appreciate any feed back on her comments page...thanks gals!!
