I don't even like double digit heat when I see a high number after an "8" I can't even imagine how you handle triple digit weather Some say "but it's dry, not humid" I grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, so I understand humid I'm sorry, hot is hot (dry or humid) to me. I hope your air conditioner was running well and you get some cooler weather soon Viv, you're a stronger woman than I... (bowing down to you at the thought of triple digit weather).

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend as much as I enjoyed mine. Drove up to Franconia Notch New Hampshire for a quick camping weekend. It was supposed to be fri-sun, but they were calling for thunderstorms on fri. so sat-sun was better. And it was. I heard the storms friday there nasty by those that were brave enough to weather it out. By the time I got there on saturday all was dry. Very pleasant, but seems it's too cold at night for me this early in the season. I'll stick to summer camping after July 1st from now on

Hey Everybody: I get to see my grandbaby next weekend AND....my oldest son. It's his surprise welcome home party. I've been waiting two weeks already to see my son. I've only talked to him on the phone so far. I figured after being deployed so long and only getting to see his baby (a few days after his birth) and his wife, I'd give them time to settle back in. Hopefully this time he'll be home long enough to see his baby's first steps and his baby's first birthday (the grandbaby is almost 9 months old now). It will be a hoot. I learned something this weekend: Camping in the mountains in May is too early for me The days are nice...the nights just toooooo coooold yet (brrr). I need some hot tub time too

I don't always give, I don't always take. It takes both for a good, balanced, relationship. But it's easy to give as good as you get

I'm listening Zee....I just don't always hear it the same way it's spoken But when I talk to myself, I always hear it correctly Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend.

Well it's after midnight so I can say....Good Morning Everyone I've had a guest this week. She left for home yesterday. I was so glad to catch up with her. Seems like when you don't see someone for a while, and they're close to your heart, time doesn't matter. You can leave off and start up like it was yesterday They should have a "call an old friend day".

Congrats on the great grandma. What great news. Sounds like you're having a wonderful weekend. I can't complain about my weekend. Always nice when a relative can come to visit, even better when the weather cooperates. Have fun weekend guys.

Zeeeee....you skeered me So happy to see you back, you did just press the wrong key again didn't you and I actually get the full sunday brunch instead of leftovers today

My hair has always been fine (thin)....Thank goodness for hairspray when I need it to look thicker You can burst my bubble, I keep several of those soap containers and wands around for the kiddies I babysit now and then I'm a good "bubble maker"

I had never heard of his story. So sad, yet so inspiring. Even after death his acts of courage and selflessness live on.

OMG...I went to e-mail Zee just to say a quick hi since she hadn't been on in a bit (unlike my lurking self, she's pretty steady here). She's deactivated I hope it's only because she's busy at working. Miss you already Zee Get back here soon.

Who rocks? ^^^^^she rocks^^^ (and she's spot on with this topic).

And the hair loss....seems my shower clogs alot easier now They say after menopause your hair will start to grow thick again? (that's my theory and I'm sticking to it)

It's Thursday after midnight and all is well....er... make that: Early friday morning and all is well Now where did I put that bell?

Wow, I haven't had tuna noodle casserole in years. I used to bake it with lots of cheddar cheese on top. Even cold the next day was good Geez, now I'm craving

My gardens are flowers, but I do have some berry bushes,strawberries, a plum tree and a peach tree. They take care of themselves For veggies I only have enough space for a 4ft x 4ft box But I have two cherry tomato plants and one patio tomato plant in there planted as of the other day

Well, I logged on to see that the Texan minglers were ok after seeing all of the flooding on the weather channel.... and find out that it's Viv's Birthday I guess I'm in time for some Birthday cake



HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Oh, and I hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day too

Afternoon everybody Things are slowing down a bit so I hope to do less lurking and more typing. All those jello shot and doughnut pics (a few pages back), got me to thinking ....Hmmmm...I wonder if you could soak some fruit spread in some rum for a while and then make some doughnuts and then fill them with the fruit spread? Could make for an interesting breakfast on a slow weekend

Yep, a long road, but so worth it in the end. At the end you get health benefits and when you think about the cost....a few (or lots) of money saved. Keep up the hard work. Side note: I'm not a smoker, but have seen family members try to quit often over the years and how hard they struggled.
