Happy ~ Your mom has the right temperature direction for a visit, as I'm sure you know! It doesn't take long for the blood to become accustomed to the warmer southern temps.
linus ~ Hurray for Bump-er cousins! Your Night Out sounded like fun - and you deserve some time off for good behavior.
teel ~ We do expect a full Bump report, you know. How exciting - only nine weeks left. I need a green emoticon for envy.
holly ~ your recipe had me drooling. I admire your willpower if you roast those 'maters then freeze them without eating the lot!
shad ~ I really miss my vegetable garden. Slim would plant the garden for me and then the kids would pick tomatoes and peppers and I'd can salsa and tomatoes while we dined on fresh tomato and mayonnaise (FF, of course) sandwiches. Nothing tastes or smells like a real garden tomato.
Newfie Sara ~
Congratulations on your dedication to walking!
SMelly ~ Gentle healing hugs for you, Dear One.
Get well soon! I'll have to send you Slim's old motorcycle helmet so we won't have to worry about you when you go out.
Meadow ~ I absolutely LOVE
DO Exercise. It motivates me every time I see it!
Tomorrow Slim is going to meet our oldest son "half way" so the dearest darling Grandsons, also called 'Thugs' by their father, can come visit us for the weekend while their parents paint. Now I feel like I should put
paint in quotes.
We'll go out for pizza Friday night then the four of us are going to the
Flamingo Run 5K on Saturday. Slim has been working on their fort - he put in steps to take the place of the ladder.
Slim took his motorcycle class and test this week, so he wants me to get up at Oh Dark Thirty to go with him to breakfast so he'll be first in line at the Department of Motor Vehicles. He wants to exchange his Temporary motorcycle license for a PERMANENT REALLY TRULY motorcycle license. The motorcycle blessing on Monday was a hit. Everybody had a great time. Our 6'6" next door neighbor, who owns two Harleys, looked in the cooler and said to me "You don't drink beer, do you?" Guess I had a miss on the Biker Beer.
Although when I sat down to the table with cole slaw ON my BBQ pork, he decided I was ALL RIGHT after all and stayed to eat. Of course, everybody else was grossed out. I thought EVERYBODY put cole slaw on BBQ pork. Just like vinegar on turnips greens.
Speaking of the darlings or maybe unique tastes, I need to get Slim busy on some HoneyDew projects before tomorrow. No, none of them require riding a motorcycle up and down the road looking cool...
