Chickadee~~~It must be VERY SCAREY to see all of that just by looking out the window . I'm sending a {{{{{{HUGE WIND}}}}} to blow it away from you and some {{{{{RAINING CATS & DOGS}}}}} to help put it out. Stay safe.
~~~Sil

Flying through here to say hi and bye! Read all the posts, but can't possibly respond. Hugs and prayers are being administered as I type. Hope to check in with you guys over the weekend, have to check out that business center! Have a good night and a good weekend, everyone!

Cchicakdee Just when i think my problems are to great to handle i hear some one else that ahs a worse time. god bless you and I am praying for you and yours and that the fire gets put out soon. I know I like the smell of smoke of a nice fire but i do not think i could like it after seeig that.

chickadee if we all get together and blow at the same time, think we can put it out??? Just trying to be funny, but seriously, I'm thinking about you, and praying for rain.

sil, your garden is beautiful!!! Gee, I'm close enough for a tour.

jenny enjoy your camping trip. I wish you could join us in Hotlanta, but time with family is more important. But, it would be worth the trip to Atlanta to see peachie do the tomahawk chop, and wear her Chipper Jones shirt (my gift to her.)

Good night all, O'Reilly is on..........

Debbie

CHIPPER JONES SHIRT!!!!!!!


AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

(I'm a lovely guest ain't I?)

Well....I think I am almost ready to pack...I ironed...that counts right?

peach
ps....sent ya a pm chickadee!

Debbie~~~You are welcome to come over ANYTIME. We can sit by the pool and drink Strawberry-Kiwi iced tea. I promise not to throw you in the pool, because I can't swim either. But I have a great floating chair that you could use

There is an album at that site which has the few pics of me (Silvia) available, as i am usually the one taking the pictures. Just wanted to share my face with you all

WOW! I'm not here for a couple of days and it's utter chaos!

I got three things to share:

1. Pooky ~ All I can offer is prayers, hugs and all the good vibes in the world! If you need anything - and that means ANYTHING - just ask!

2. L ~ I am so excited for you to be going to Alaska! I am from southeast Alaska so if I can be of any assistance, please ask! Most important: take LOTS of pictures! It's gorgeous!

3. I couldn't resist a proud momma moment -- I hope you guys don't mind. She's just so gorgeous and I'm so proud because she's just as adorable on the inside as she is on the outside!

I've been busy trying to get it all together around here. I have been busier than I've been in a long, long time and it actually feels really, really good. I am still working on the efficiency thing, but it'll come.

jennie... my heart just melted looking at that adorable one. now, if only she and miree could get together, i'll bet there'd be no peace for anyone!!!

and good heavens there are problems around here!!! pooky.. my thoughts and prayers are with you...

and with chickadee as well. with rain dance.

and barb.. that poor little girl!! it's always so sad when the little ones get so sick. hope they figure out what's wrong with her and soon!!!

it sounds as if you might as well just have a girl party and get it over with. with old alvin getting svelte, he just might be the life of the party!!! and good luck on the surgery. you've certainly had a stressful year! is alvin behaving himself and eating protein?

peachie really is in a tizz... i'm not. maybe i'm just too dumb?? does she know something i don't?? but it's so exciting to finally be able to meet these nice southern ladies. i hope they don' throw us yankees out!!!

and annie.. glad your dad is doing better.

has anyone heard from kel?

and sil... everyone's raving about your gorgeous garden, but you are at least as gorgeous!!!!

[[[[[[[[[leenie]]]]]]]]]] and love to everyone else i missed...

it wasn't intentional...

Talk about waiting until the last minute! I just got done packing me and dd, now tomorrow morning is dedicated to mama. She is going to have a blast at sis's, but not half as much fun as I'm gonna have in GA! Ya'll take care and hope to talk to you soon!

Thanks for your thoughts, prayers and bags o' wind! Unfortunately, it is getting worse here. A slurry bomber crashed a little while ago, killing two people and starting another fire. Now the highway is shut down and there will be no more planes until the NTSB does an investigation. It's scary because it's too steep to do much firefighting on foot so the planes are the only real way to fight the fire. My daughter and I were at a softball clinic this evening and the high school is set up with all kinds of forest service workers, firefighters and law enforcement people. When we heard all the sirens going after the plane crashed, we knew something horrible had happened. It helps to talk to you guys about it because I need to vent and I have to be careful about scaring my 12 year old daughter. She's pretty afraid, so I'm trying to be reassuring.

If I get too skeered here, I'm coming to Atlanta with y'all (see I'm practicing!).

Hey Deb, good call on the Chipper Jones shirt. Totally inspired!

Later,
Chickadee
