Very foggy here in the mountains today!  Yesterday turned out to be beautiful and I was able to get a good start on my herb bed and flower planting.  I love working outdoors in the cooler weather, as the bees don't come around as much.  Late yesterday, we played 9 holes of golf and had dinner at our favorite thai restaurant.  All our little problems we found upon arrival have been solved...broken window...plugged toilet.....leaking hot water heater...overgrown lawn...it only takes labor and $$!  Now I can relax and enjoy!

Hi Alyson, I am from the US midwest, my family from the Mid South. In the Midwest we eat Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, in the Midsouth we ate Breakfast, Dinner and then Supper. How does this compare to your tea?  I went to a tea once in Victoria on Vancouver Island in Canada and found it so filling that  there was no question of needing dinner.

Morning West Coasters.

Ginger that's a good suggestion about sitting the older relatives down and ask questions.

Momma had my Mamaw (her Momma) sit down in front of the camcorder years ago (Mamaw died in 1995) and just talk from what the earliest memories she had.   She told us about her childhood (10 brothers and sisters), about her brothers that were killed in the war and about the day they were notified of each of their deaths, etc.  It is priceless and now on a CD for all of us to enjoy and learn.

I did the same with my Momma, she passed away on 12/31/06 so only our 8 year old grandson has a faint memory of her.  But thanks to her great idea, they can get to "know" her!  The 8 year old was surprised to learn that there was no Pizza Hut in the little town where I was born (Magee, MS) and that to get money to spend at the store, we walked around town picking up "coke bottles" and sold them to the store for 2 cents each.  Of course, we got lots of treats for a few cents back then.

We have our 2 oldest grands here today. Davis (8 yrs) and his sister, Alaura (5 yrs) spending today and tonite with us.  We getting ready to have dinner (lunch) and later today we are going to a local waterpark then to see Madagascar 3.  DH and I love those Madagascar movies as much as the kids.  The waterpark is small but big enough for our grands.  We'll be worn out by the time we leave there, lol.

I hope y'all have a great weekend!

Kathy:  I got a spray tan for my DS's wedding...don't think I'll do it again though.  Make sure you stand very still and don't move or bend anything or the creases will show up white:)  I think it's for younger women who don't have too much sagging skin or wrinkles...lol!  I now use a self tanning cream...one from Victoria's Secret.  It even has a good smell to it, and it works quickly.

Chrissy - so gladtheclot is gone and you by now have gotten your new Ahhhhhh chair. I have been busy and had too many pages to read tonigh so after this post I am off to bed as tomorrow will be busy at church all day.

I did finally get DH to take me to the beach last Friday and had a very nice relaxing day. And today I have been so busy I did not even get dressed! Guess that makes getting ready for bed quicker.

HUGSTo all. Catch you later, Amy Jo

Chrissy, why not do a recording session and make it a  nice afternoon or evening together with you interviewing her?

Hey everyone, 

I'm still not feeling great, but trying to get out and have some joyful moments everyday. I was taking a drive the other day and saw a sign at a restaurant that said "serving supper" that confused me ('re conversation about tea vs dinner above).  Maybe it meant all afternoon they served food. I never know what is going to remind me of you, ladies.

I am turning into one of those drivers that tootles along at 30mph and has a long line of irate drivers behind her in a hurry to get somewhere. LOL Not too long ago I was the one in a big hurry!

Ahhh, chrissy, I had you in the chair with your feet up already.

Kathy, hope you continue to enjoy the excitment leading up to the wedding.  

Kaara, enjoy the view off your deck. 

Hope you all have a good nights rest!

Marybe, 3Jays, wow you are having a super time there!  Shows put on by the Grands are simply the best!  Sitting up watching late night TV, with a girl friend to kibbitz with, also rates high on my hit parade.   Enjoy!
