Just a note to Sheila, sorry I forgot to mention anything about your son's good news about his grades. Good for him, I am sure it just made your's and his day. Don't we just love it when the kids do well!! Sorry to hear about GD's new health problem, she is just so sweet to look at. I could just hug her forever. Take care dear friend, my thoughts are with you. My computer says that you posted at 1:04 a.m., were your really up at 1:04 a.m.?
Good Morning to everyone else, the sun is shinning in Wisconsin this morning.
Diane, do you get tornados where you live? Hope not--they seem pretty scary. 90 degrees in May sounds pretty darn warm.
Bluet, thanks--we're very proud of him. Also found out today that my daughter passed her exam and is now a Petty Officer. Her DH also passed his exam and is a Petty Officer, too. So what did you think about CSI? I thought it was pretty compelling. Not a fan of Tarantino movies, but I thought he did a good job with the CSI finale. Oh, I started typing at 7:55 pm, remembered that CSI was on at 8:00, so didn't get back to actually post the message until 11:00 pm my time. Congrats on the sunshine!
Weird weather around here today. Thunderstorms followed by sun, then some clouds and rain, some more sun, and some more thunderstorms. We haven't been able to mow the grass so it's kind of long. Hopefully tomorrow the waterworks will dry up.
Hope everyone has a great weekend, and a great week ahead. I will be in Boise until Thursday when I have my Botox appointment in Portland. While I dread the needles, I'm hoping to feel better in a couple of weeks if the neuro gets it right. Cross your fingers! So, anyway, I'll catch up on posts on Friday. And, Bluet, I'll give my little sweetie an extra hug just for you.
Sheila have a wonderful trip and give the little one a hug for me too, she is so precious to look at. I do hope the Botox works well for you. OMG yes we have tornadoes here quite often I might add. I have only been in one and it put the fear in me.
We are having another scorcher here today so plan on staying inside and getting some much needed housework done. I hope you girls have a good weekend.
Congrats on your sons grades,also daughter passing exam for petty officer.
Charlotte I got your cd today, it is good. Never heard of the songs but I like them , You have a great voice. Thanks for sending it.
sprayed my weeds around the yard & road today with roundup. get my tomato plants in later.
Have a great weekend all.
How is your W. watchers meetings going candlelady? Bonnie2
Wisconsin had a beautiful weekend, first one in a long time. I went to a plant auction Saturday morning to get some perennials for daughter next door's flower beds. Then showed up at her house to pack up all the stuff from the garage sale to save or to send to Goodwill. Drove over to Goodwill with my daughter's van chucked full of stuff. Three young men came out and in no time had the van unloaded. Went home, because daughter and grandson from Stevens Point were coming down to see our son and DIL's new baby Benjamin, and we were meeting later at my house. We had a nice visit, got to spend some time with grandson Adam. He is really growing, he will be one year in September. I was really tired at the end of the day, I kept falling asleep watching TV, so I got up and got ready for bed. Sunday morning went to church for 8:00, then DH and I went out for breakfast, stopped in at our son and daughter-in-law's house to visit with grandaughter Anna and see her new baby brother Ben. Went home took a little rest and worked outside in the yard until 6:00 p.m. This is the first real chance that I had an opportunity to get out in the flower gardens. There is soooooo much work to do. Perhaps I need to downsize!
Well that was my weekend. Now I am back to my real job. What did all of you do this weekend?
Sheila....I'm so happy for your son. WOW! I know you are proud. And your daughter, also, & her DH!
We get a lot of tornado weather here, also. It comes in from Texas & Oklahoma & Mississippi. It's a hit or miss situation. We're in Tornado watches quite often, which we've grown accustom to. Sometimes one will touch down, so have to be on the look out.
Hope you have a good & safe trip! Yes, give that little one a hug for me, too!
Bonnie-2...Glad you got your CD. Thanks for the compliment. I know I'm not very good, but do enjoy. Those songs are popular here. Especially the last couple of years. (which is when I made it.) The song "Two Shoes" is a true story. The story was given to the "Inspirations" by a lady & asked them to write a song. It became their #1 hit that first year. That song & "Time to Get Up" was the most requested by me last year, at the TV station, churches, festivals, etc.
Diane...I'm hoping to make another trip to Texas this summer with Connie. If I'm close enough to you, I'll get look you up.
SunnyD...Hope all is going better for you & your family today. You're in my thoughts & prayers.
Bluet....I know you're facing another work week. Smile real big & blow ob's mind away!! I've heard to be really nice to people that are mean to us really messes with their mind!!
Yesterday was DH's birthday (56). I got his cake from a lady who cooks coconut cakes (his favorite) at the station. She has a program up there & is all time bringing us cakes to eat. Yes.....it's really hard to lose weight & work there. I bought him the "Comparitive Bible" for studying. It has 4 different versions of the Bible. He's a teacher & studies a lot. I heard him tell someone a few days ago that he had thought of getting himself one, but they were a little costly. (I didn't think $50 was so bad for my DH!) He was really pleased. Then I took him to eat with our pastor & our former pastor who visited chuch yesterday. Our pastor insisted on paying for all of our meals. I surprised him, then, by having all the waitresses come to our table with a slice of cake & singing "Happy Birthday" to him. Embarrassed him good!!! It was a fun day.
He says he wants to take me on an Anniversary trip next month to the Smokies. I sure hope we have the money to go. We both need to get away from this house awhile. I get Remicade on our Anniversary (June 14th), so we're planning for the following week.
Please pray for our pastor, he's having problems with his heart. Very unexpected. They are putting him through tests. He didn't look so well yesterday. That was the reason that our former pastor visited & took care of the services.
Gotta go get ready for work. Hope all of you have a great Monday!
Sun is shinning here today, looks like it is going to be a beautiful day.
Charlotte, thank you for the encouraging words of support for my work week. Thank you too for the beautiful CD and Video, I appreciate them so much. You have touched my heart once again dear friend. You are a blessing to know.
Good morning and best wishes to the rest of our gang. How are you all doing? What's our little Sunny bear up to? hmmmmmm? Bonnie2, you must be up early and tending to all the chores that need tending too, ahhh such is country life. Diane, are you hiding indoors with the Texas heat? Yes, you can send some of that warmth our way.

Good Morning Ladies!
I have some good news... My father is doing much better today - the meds are kicking in! Even the sore on his foot is healing up finally after months with wounds that wouldn't heal And I finally got things straitened out with my bank... and I got my $600.00 back What a mess, but they did a pretty quick job of fixing it so far and have adjusted all the fee's... yeah!!!
As for my dear mother... she is still on pain meds till she can get in for the MRI... she has an appointment for May 31st. The Dr. told her she definitely has something there - the bile duct is twice it's size... but they cannot get the machine till the end of the month. I guess there's only the one machine --- how frustrating! I have been calling her whenever I can just to keep in touch and make her laugh. That's part of the reason why I did not come back as I said I would. Please forgive me I get overwhelmed very easily these days and just do my best.
I also want to share with you that I have made a deal with my hubby to turn off the computer by 8:00pm --- he feels that I am on it way too much and gets concerned for me. I get headaches from eye strain lately... so that limits me just a little bit... (well, EXCEPT on THURSDAY NIGHTS - that's when he has choir practice I'll sneak on then ). It's not that Joe is restricting me - please don't think that - he is just concerned for my well-being and rightly so... I am on this computer allot! I am so addicted to it --- if I am not on-line I am organizing my files which I have to do again! I have gotten so many lovely graphics and siggys these days Or I'm playing with the Paint Shop Pro I have (I really want to lean how to make graphics, but no success there... YET!)... I had a Wedding Shower to go to Sunday and we have a First Communion this coming Sunday and we have gone to Birthday's in between and some coming up... so I am making allot of cards these days! That is time consuming on the computer too, not to mention the embellishing I do afterwards on them... fun too.
*~*~*
Charlotte, Joe & I got your package on Saturday, but were not able to look at it till last night --- we LOVE IT!!! I went to call you, but when I got out my address book and looked up yours - no phone number - I really wanted to speak to you personally and let you know in the moment what we thought The first thing my hubby said... "she has the sweetest, purest sound!" "I can hear how much she loves the Lord in her songs!" I Dido'd him We both enjoyed it very much and so appreciated your sweet dedication!! That was so cool! After seeing your video and all you sweet people & with your NICE weather reports, my hubby wants to MOVE there!! I'm not kidding you... he really does! I told him he would have to settle with a visit some day I will not go through another move in my lifetime We are in the 50's still and WET here! With predicted temps of only 55 - 60* for the whole week... looks like rain for the Holiday too. Anyway... we enjoyed your tape and CD very much!!! *Thank-you* so much for taking the time to make it and send it... we really enjoyed it and will!! By-the-way... Joe and I were singing some of those songs with you We knew several of them Good job sweets!!! Bless your heart!!
How is your DD feeling lately? I pray for her often. You didn't say a thing to bother me --- so don't give it a second thought My heart goes out to your DD and her loss and I so appreciate your tender heart
*Happy 56th Birthday* to DH!!!! Sounds like he had a really nice day! I LOVE coconut too!! Those cakes sound DELISH What Anniversary will this be for you and hubby??? Your trip sounds like a good plan.
*Prayers* for your pastor!!!
Also, I thank you for *all* the prayers and good thoughts for my parents... it is so scarry to be so far away when things go wrong. And my mother isn't one to have someone gush all over her when she's ill --- she likes her space. But I want to be there! In respect to her wishes - here I sit Joe's BP is a little better... but I am not real happy with his bottom number --- yesterday it was still 134/88. The top number is much better, but that bottom number is a big concern. I would like to see it at 80 or less! Keep him in your prayers... he really doesn't want to go on meds. But if it doesn't get better real soon --- off to the Dr's we'll go! My Dr. told me that it could be inherited and it's important he gets to his Dr. if it climbs or doesn't change. What was your BP when the Dr. put you on meds??? Do I have a concern?? I so appreciate your prayers!!
Sounds like you & your sister's herb shop is coming along nicely!! I love shops like that and go often when cannot grow them myself.
Bluet, Thank-you also for your thoughts and your prayers. Are you okay!!?? Your post just sounded do sad... if that is possible for a post to sound sad... ( ) Darn that *OB* anyway!!!! Give him to me... I'll take him on for ya
I STILL haven't done much with my gardens... they need weeding so bad!!! I started to get some done, but with all the rains lately they are shooting up like crazy The perennials are coming along real nice - they love all this rain, but I have annuals to put in. Not to mention that Joe & I have a garden to make yet for veggies We are beginning to think it's not gonna happen this year at this rate
I'm so happy to hear that your DD's garage sale went so well!!! I need to do one, but they are so much work and with the rains we are having - it may have to wait for August! I have allot I'd like to clear out of the house and would love to see it go to a good home Thursday's - Saturday's are the best sale days!
*CSI-Vegas* ~ Bonnie... Nick got out!! It was a two-hour show, didn't you see the second hour?? Oh my, what an intense show that was!!!! I couldn't imagine being buried alive... just couldn't imagine!! My worse fear... *Survivor* I too was thrilled that TOM -the firefighter- won the $$$ He so deserved to win that game!!! I was jumping for JOY! when I saw he won! As for *A-Idol* I am praying that *Carrie* win's it, but I think that *Bo* will by popular vote - not necessarily because he is the better singer. He is so loved by the gals... but I think that they will both do well!! Remember in the last Idol - *Rubin* won, but *Clay* is actually more successful then he is... I wouldn't worry about the second place person at all
Your gardens sound just lovely!!! Mine are thriving too. But are longing for some sunshine!! My Lilac's are in full bloom now - what a scent!!! I keep my bathroom window cracked just to let in the scent - even though it so darn cold!! I have some pics on the camera..
Oh... I just read your new post... I am so glad that someone is getting Sunshine! We sure aren't! Would you send some our way... pleeeeeazzzzzzzzzzzzz
Sheila, I hope that you have (or had - depending on when you read this ) a wonderful trip to Boise *Prayers* that all goes well in Portland!!!
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT *BABY RUTH* BARS ARE??? You don't know what you are missing!!! If you like peanuts like my hubby does that is BABY RUTH's are his fav!! He gets them in his Christmas Stocking from Santa every year Well, we'll just have to fix that... I guess Santa will have to send you some too
How is your competition going with your DD??? Still working hard? Who's winning so far? I have been getting some miles in but not like I was last month - it was just too much for me... I have 27.5 miles walked so far for MAY. Not too bad...
I am so very sorry to hear about your GD and her diagnosis of scoliosis (spine??) ... I don't know much about it, but please know that I hold her, her parents and you in my prayers... she is such a sweet baby-girl
Congrats on your DS's grades and with your DD too!!! That is just awesome that she made Petty officer & so did her hubby
My mom...I won't know till the end of the month what's happening --- I just don't understand why they are not looking at this more seriously? She is in allot of pain when those meds wear off & is having sleepless nights. She is a tough egg to crack too --- being a retired nurse she knows too much!! It gets in the way...
I knew you would like to hear that she bought *HP* Thank-you so very much for the offer of the HP help-line... is there a number you could send me in a PM? I'd be glad to share it with my friend in case of need. She is now on-line again and enjoying her new toy... I haven't been over since I was there last week (she works), but I want to go over... I have lots of stuff to show her still
Diane, Thank you also for your thoughts and prayers... they are really helping me as well as my parents
Would you do me a HUGE favor????? Would you please send some of your sunshine and warm temps our way??? We are desperate here in NE OHIO!!!! Cod Liver Oil is selling off the shelves (Vit D)!!! Hehehehe... My hubby was even talking about buying a tanning bed this morning he's so desperate! I'd love to have one!! But we have no place to put it
How are things going with you at WW's --- still doing well? I have lost another pound, but haven't lost anymore I just keep on truckin'
Bonnie2, Sounds like you are plenty busy with your farm and gardening... I wish our weather would cooperate with us! It's very frustrating... my folks live in Maine and their weather is even worse! My sis-in-law bakes like you do... she bakes the best pies!! I bet yours are great too I am not good at pies, but I'm pretty darn good with cakes, cookies and such
I have a question for you... do you still have the Private Messages I have sent you? If so... you can go to the *Reply w/ Forward* lower right hand corner and it will show my post to you in the forward --- my point --- you will see how the CODES look!! You will see all the codes I have used to write to you. If you didn't save them - let me know and I will write you a new PM and then you will be able to see, okay. This will show you how to use the "color code" and "font code", etc. THEN... I will be able to show you how to use the "IMG code" for pics, okay I have not forgotten you --- I just needed to figure out a way to show you and this works
*~*~*
So what are you all planning for the Memorial Holiday Weekend? We wanted to spend the time planting, but it looks like RAIN all weekend AGAIN!! Don't know that we will ever get that veggie garden in! Maybe on Monday...
Hello my friends,
You are all so very kind to say the nice things about my video & CD. People do tell me that they are attracted to my singing because they can tell I love the Lord. I realize my voice isn't that great. I've often wondered why the Lord didn't give me a better one, knowing how I loved to sing. He knows what's best for us, though, & I trust Him. I DO love Him with all my heart. He's done so very much for me. There's no way I could even begin to tell how he's taken care of me through my life time, thus far.
I admit I was a little embarrassed by the video. The quality is bad, but we had tried 3 different times to tape both programs & had problems, so I gave up & used it. I told Connie about it & she's checking into the recorder. We've started recording on DVD's, but, for our own purposes, just use the regular recorder. We try to be saving with everything. We operate on donations & program payments & commercial selling. Just a struggling little station, trying our best. We've come a long way, though. We started out in a one room shed, at 100 watts. Then, went to a small trailer. Now we have a new & beautiful building, with 500,000 watts! The Lord blesses.
SunnyD...I'm so glad your dad is better. I was very concerned for him. Your mother is in my prayers. It's hard knowing that your mother is suffering & waiting on that machine, I know. Hang in there, hon, she's going to make it. Please do as Joe says & take care of yourself. If you need off the computer earlier, we understand. Just don't come up missing!
My BP was 156/101 when I was put back on the meds. I had been able to get off of them for 6 yrs, but the RA causes fluid retention, making BP go up. It's still a little high when it's checked, but not bad. The last time I was checked by my GP, though, he had me remain at the clinic for awhile, until it went down. It was 150/96, then a few minutes later 149/100...just kept changing, & he didn't like it. But, it finally stabilized, & he let me go at 136/90. I was a little dizzy & had been having nose bleeds. Everyone's situation is different. A little high might not be bad for some people, but dangerous for others. Just keep it checked. A headache is a sign it's too high. A nosebleed is...really a good thing...because it relieves the pressure. But, it's a little scarey. I'm sure your Joe will be fine, with you for his nurse.
I'm a computer addict, also. After the housefire, I used it to keep my mind off of everything. DH worried about it a little. But, really, there wasn't much else I could do around here, except practice my singing. I can't sing for very long, because my voice isn't strong enough. I go to sounding croupy. So.....my computer was my company! Lately, I've slacked off for various reasons. To be honest, Saturday, I lay on my bed & watched movies all day....home alone!
Thanks for asking about my daughter. She's doing better. She was really devestated, & it will take time. Thanks for the prayers.
This will be our 37th anniversary. I've been on the computer all day trying to find a package deal. WOW! They are so high! I'm just about ready to try to talk him out of it. I keep thinking how we could put the money on the house. He keeps saying he & I really need to get away, though. He's right. I doubt if it would make a difference, anyway. Something is always there to take our money.
Bluet....that was a very sweet pm you sent. I love you, my friend. I hope I can be of help to you, when you need me. You don't have to go to the CD. I try to check my messages through the day....remember that. You DO sound sad, lately. I don't like that. Did I know when that new grand baby was born? I don't know, but I may be getting "sometimers". Anyway, congrats!! How many does that make?
I wish I could have went to that yard sale! I love to attend them, but promised myself I'd never have another one, myself
Hope Sheila is having a good time!
Bonnie-2 & Diane...hope you are having a good day. Diane...I haven't sent the CD yet. I'll try to get it off Thursday. (my next day off.)
It is 10:00 p.m. my time so this will be short. Stayed home from work today, had some sort of virus thing going on inside of me today. Slept most of the day. Hey, everyone, thank you for the worrying looks, but I am not sad. Goodness knows, you all are the first to know when I am blue, that's for sure. I don't know why my posts seemed sad. I am o.k. really.
Hooray Carrie Underwood. Acutually Bo and Carrie were both so good it should have been a double American Idol this year. I am glad Carrie won though, I hope everyone else is too. I sure would love it if someone just gave me a red Mustang to drive away with. Idol was very good tonight, except for the Simon Cowell/Paula Abdul spoof. I think they should have just let dead horses lie. I had completely forgotten about those accusations by the former Idol contestant. It was just too tongue-in-cheek. It wasn't worth acknowledging, o.k. enough said.
Hope everyone had a good Wednesday, catch you all tomorrow. Hey Sheila, hope you are enjoying your trip and your grandaughter.
My goodness didn't realize I had been gone for soooo long, it has been since Sat.
Sunny I am so glad to hear your Father is doing better. My prayers for your Mother, bless her heart hate she is in so much pain. I certainly will send you some of this weather you can have my heat anytime. I know what you mean about being addicted to the computer I just love this thing and stay on it too much. I might get alot more done if I would stay off of it.
Charlotte if at all possible go on your trip you guys deserve and need the time away with all that has been going on in your lives. Our 36th. anniversary is June 7 and the last of the month we are going on a little trip to Lousianna for 3 days. I will be off on Maternity Leave....hahahaha!! so figured I had better take advantage and get away for a few days. Hopefully DD will have had that baby by then.
Bluet sorry to hear you were sick hope today finds you feeling better. I was tickled pink that Carrie won. She is so good and cute as a bug...
I went to WW weigh in and only lost a half a lb. So I am trying harder this week, that shower cake will do it everytime. As long as the scale keeps going down I am happy.
We are expecting rain for the next five days and I am doing the happy dance. It has been so dry here this Spring we need it so bad. No plans for the holiday just getting caught up inside I guess since it is going to rain.

Good Morning Gals,
I spoke to my mother and she is hanging in there... thank you so much for all your prayers!
*~*~*
Bluet, I am so glad to hear that you are not SAD... but I do hope that you are feeling better from that bug! It sure hit people hard this year! {{{Bonnie}}}
*A-Idol* was an awesome 2 hours last night!! Joe & I enjoyed all the music! But you sure can see/HEAR that the ones who got voted off should have been after getting back with Bo and Carrie... those two are AWESOME! Especially when they sang together!! I have had Carrie picked out to WIN ever since the auditions - I am so glad that she WON, but saying that... Bo will go far too! I KNOW someone will pick him up --- he was so good last night! I agree with you --- it should have been a DOUBLE WIN! They both won cars
YES, I agree! They over did the Paula/Simon thing for sure... couldda left that ALL out
Angel, as far as the Lord... He considers your voice to be PERFECT silly Thanks for the prayers for my mom especially! She said that as long as she takes the pain meds she is okay and gets about her day, but at night when the meds wear off and she is trying to relax, that's when she really hurts. I just wish it was Tuesday (5/31) already, so they can make her all better... thank-you
WoW!!! Your BP was high!!! Joe's is much better everyday - he got ME out of bed to walk yesterday!!! It was COLD and I didn't want to move But we went and he is feeling better... the sunshine helps too! We finally have SUNSHINE and looks like we may have temps in the 70's today
Awesome... 37 years married this year!! So COOL !!! And here I am all excited over 30 for Joe & I this year... I agree with Diane... you should go on your trip! You are deserving of time away and sometimes the Calgone Bath just doesn't cut it Have you found any good deals yet? I did hear that the prices had gone back up... way up I hope you will be able to find something.
Diane, I broke my computer rule the fist night!!! I promised Joe I'd turn it off at 8:00pm and @ 8:4somethhing I was checking for posts I caught myself and hurriedly shut it down and joined him in the TV Room It's so hard!!! I don't want to miss out on anything
We don't have any real plans for the weekend either... just the First Communion on Sunday, which is nice! I like quiet...
As for our weather --- we were suppose to have rain the whole weekend too, but it has changed (typical for NE Ohio ) but this time for the good! Sunny and in the 70's & 80's Yeah!!!!
As for your WW weigh-in... 1/2 loss is still good!! I just don't seem to be moving at all --- to much time in this chair on the computer I think
Sheila, WE MISS YOU SWEETS!!!!!!! Come back as soon as you can and fill us all in on your visit w/ your family...
Hi all, Don't know how often I'll be able to post after next week as dear mil is coming to stay with us for the summer anyway, sure hope her health is fine to go back to winter in Ariz. as she has done for years, Since her dh, Ed died her 1st family will be back caring for her. When she was married to Ed they had a summer home in Minn. close to his family.Her health wasn't well with him in hospice, she'd forget to take her meds & try to be by his side in case he passed . So much for that
Nothing doing here this weekend.
Sunny d,I don't still have your pm to me to help me with posts.
Must go need to work on monthly statements Bonnie2
Well here I am again posting when it is going on near 10:00 p.m. I felt sluggish today started feeling a little better as day wore on. This evening I went over to daughter next doors house and finally planted those pernnials that I bought at auction last weekend. Grandchildren Noah and Leah helped me and son-in-law came out a redid a small brick path that I had pulled out.
We don't have any big plans for the weekend. Just work around the house or yard depending on the weather. We were suppose to have one of those awful cold swirly rainy things come down and stall over us from Canada, but it looks like there might be an improvement in the weather. Temps are suppose to be in the low 60's. Oh well, better than 50's I guess.
Sunny, I am most pleased that your Mom and Dad are feeling better. I am sorry that your Mom has to take pain medication to ease her pain, hopefully they find out what the problem is on Tuesday.
Charlotte, hope you get to take a trip for your anniversary, you and DH deserve a little break....just go.
Diane, you get to take a road trip too, how nice is that.?
Bonnie2 sounds like you are going to have a busy summer. Hope you got done with the statements. We will be ending our fiscal year at the end of May. Oh yeah, more work.
Don't we just love it when the kids do well!! Sorry to hear about GD's new health problem, she is just so sweet to look at. I could just hug her forever. Take care dear friend, my thoughts are with you. 
I bought him the "Comparitive Bible" for studying. It has 4 different versions of the Bible. He's a teacher & studies a lot. I heard him tell someone a few days ago that he had thought of getting himself one, but they were a little costly. (I didn't think $50 was so bad for my DH!) He was really pleased. Then I took him to eat with our pastor & our former pastor who visited chuch yesterday. Our pastor insisted on paying for all of our meals. 
What a mess, but they did a pretty quick job of fixing it so far and have adjusted all the fee's... yeah!!! 
I get overwhelmed very easily these days and just do my best. 
I really wanted to speak to you personally and let you know in the moment what we thought 
By-the-way... Joe and I were singing some of those songs with you 
to DH!!!! Sounds like he had a really nice day! I LOVE coconut too!! Those cakes sound DELISH 
What Anniversary will this be for you and hubby??? Your trip sounds like a good plan.
The perennials are coming along real nice - they love all this rain, but I have annuals to put in. Not to mention that Joe & I have a garden to make yet for veggies 
We are beginning to think it's not gonna happen this year at this rate 
We sure aren't! 
Would you send some our way... pleeeeeazzzzzzzzzzzzz 
*Prayers* that all goes well in Portland!!!
Thank-you so very much for the offer of the HP help-line... is there a number you could send me in a PM? I'd be glad to share it with my friend in case of need. She is now on-line again and enjoying her new toy... I haven't been over since I was there last week (she works), but I want to go over... I have lots of stuff to show her still 
I just keep on truckin' 
Anyway, congrats!! How many does that make?
!!! And here I am all excited over 30 for Joe & I this year... I agree with Diane... you should go on your trip! You are deserving of time away and sometimes the Calgone Bath just doesn't cut it 
***WE WILL BE ALL EYES***
