Passing through with a quick, "howdy"!!! Much to say--too little time, so will quickly jabber...Husker, girl--if you feel well enough, WALK the walk and hold your head up and smile! You've been a survivor since you first learned your dx as far as I'm concerned!
Wahine--I'm listening for some cha-chinging going on or some shouts of twenty-one!!! Good luck!!!!! Tell Hunk I say hi and send him hugs.
Kymn--would certainly offer you and kids a warm welcome down south here, but you'd better hurry--my visiting DD is making pitiful noises about how much she'd love to stay (she's in a crappy marital situation also....effing asshole men who disturb the people I love!!!)
Beanie--did I tell you how coooool your camper is? I could live in that for a long time. If you can't get your cabin built, you should travel around and try to find the absolute perfect place to settle down.....but, your cabin area looks so wonderful. Hopefully, you can find some contractor who will take the job.
Getting a good chuckle out of a few posts.....Carol Burnette and the references to baking and yeast and making dough.....I've never attempted that. Think it requires more culinary skill than I possess. To me, the words "yeast" and "dough" just mean "infection and money"!!
Dork--gonna plop next to your hammock with a whole load of dog beers. I'm in need of a few! DH got home this afternoon. Glad to see him but hated to shoo you all off the deck. All the lampshades are back in the closet until next time
And mega kudos also to NM for the med advice/wisdom and the humor that gets me through the day....tks, NM!
Lori--looks like that wildfire isn't getting better--so glad it is headed away from you! Love, love, love your Western-themed fence....totally awesome!
Claire--sure hope you post soon that you've landed your dream position. You're working at it so hard and are so pumped right now--you must be sending out tons of positive energy with each application--good luck!
Karen--you will surely find an acceptable place to stay on your trip. Bribe someone with cookies if necessary! One taste and someone will let you stay free in exchange for some of your wonderful baking!!
Can't scroll back to pick up the names of the new posters--but, WELCOME to the HTL!!! Come back and join me at the pool!
.....need to shut things down here--those g/daus get up early! I am having the time of my life with them! Today, they went out and decorated the entire drive way with 3-D chalk to welcome grandpa home.....we have a looooonnnng drive way and they wrote/rainbowed/flowered from garage to the street. DH was almost in tears when he pulled in and read Welcome Home Grandpa......so sweet of them to do that.
cHairs and bottomzup!!!!!

Good morning GirlZ.....
Off in a few to do the Flying Wheels. Trying to get moving as will need to get it in gear to do those 65 miles. Think visualizing a post ride brat and brewsky may help. Plus, the right anti-bonk potions.
Hoping everyone else has the most fab day. - Claire

Crud! I missed DorK last night at happy hour...she jumped in just aheadame and I dint see her! Sawwwy DorK I dint see ya, baby doll. You sound so bizzy and I just hope you are making tons of $$$!! When I get behind I hafta just read from where my last post was too, I've been weeeding back some tho and there is so much, yes, yes, yes, NM's posts are just so fantastic!
wahine - sounds like a good time even if it wasn't your lucky night for big $$ wins, at least you got lots a dwinks and fwee food! Such good info for Kymn too. When I got a divorce I dint have kids, so it was pretty easy, we were not compatible but he wasn't a bad guy, we divorced amicably. I made a list of everything we owned, cash, cars, real estate, furniture, personal junk then just sort of split things 50/50. He was agreeable and I wasn't asking for alimony or child support so it was proly nothing like when you have kids involved. I had a cat and a dog and as it turned out he got our dog and I got our cat. The dog was a Newfoundland and he weighed as much as me. Such a sweet dog! Then my cat was a beauty, she looked like a Maine Coon and I had her since she was a kitten before I met him, so she stayed with me. Somewhere I have pics of my old pets. They were so wonderful. Sorry to ramble...ah well, hope you have fun fun fun today and please give Hunk a pinch on the rear for me :-)
Junie - me too got a lot of chuckles reading these posts! And this RV is so nice! I just can't believe how much space there is, it's almost like the condos we rented at the coast before we bought over there. Yesterday I got our old RV spit shined and ready to sell. She was a lot of fun, but our new one is so nice! How totally awsome sweet that your g/daus made such a beautiful welcome home for your DH! Thanks for the touching story!!! So nice!
Kymn - I think we are going to put a house up for rent too (now I'm competing with wahine for a good person - tee hee) I just wish you dint have to worry about all this chiit while going through chemo and dealing with this sucky sucky sucky diagnosis. I'm 5.5 months post treatment and still trying to get a grip on it. I admire your stength to be handling this so well with a sense of humor and enjoying your sports team. Just hang in and you will be through it so soon!!
Claire - hope you have a great day with Flying Wheels! Your new pic looks great too, very professional looking!

Geeaaawwwd! New problem here...I'm so freaking spaced I dwive meselves to dwiiink. I take my tamoxifen pill in the mornings and it's morning and I cannot remember if I took it or not...Chiit, chiiit, what to do, what to do??? I guess I will asume I took it and then just try to get it straight tomorrow. Or what would happen if I accidentally took 2 today. Why is my memory so shot??? You would think I could remember as I've only been up for about 3 hours.
Hope everyone else has a great day!! Beanz

Beanie - I use a pill keeper cuz I can't remember either. I take four daily meds and it gets confusing. I also popped one of my Mocha's anti-b's this week without thinking - and I do not even have chemo brain! I used to say out loud "I am taking my pills, taking my pills" to etch it in my memory. I have a little round pill-keeper I can't use anymore as it is too small, do you want me to mail it to you? Since you have to drive so far to get things like that, I would be glad to send it.
Trying to get motivated to get my arse to work. Ughhh......

Dorthy - Thank you soo sooo sooooo much! Yippeee! Another benefit of getting old and senile is I will get to use a kewl pill-keeper!! How will I remember where I put it? J/K! When my mom and dad were still living and my dad was getting up around 80 years old, one day he lost his set of keys and after that my mom started making him tie a new set to his pants. He didn't like doing it, and after she passed away he quit. I don't think he ever lost them again.

Hi girlzzz.... *straggling in here, crawling on my hands and knees to see what I have missed*. OK, I have a new appreciation for you galz that are on chemo and then feel like crap afterwards. Don't know what happened....could be cause I moved a tall cabinet from garage, thru house, to back deck by myself, along with moving large dog houses, the day b4 we left, OR eating waaaay too much at the filet/seafood feast last night, OR having 4 dwinks. BUT my neck had an excruciating pain ALL night and all day....was finally able to get up after 2 pm, and all night an day I felt a bit nauseaus, and my head was pounding. Sent DH to the 77 cent b'fast buffet and just stayed in bed....wanted to die. BUT it sure reminded me of the crappola that some of you are facing all the time, and my heart went out to you all (well, once the focus left from feeling sawwy for meself!). DO not even feel like gambling, dwinking, or eating. Now THAT is not like me! DH saw Hunk, but I have not been in the casino today. I am SURE he did not pinch him on the butt for you, Beans; or sent him a hug from Junie....LOL.
DorK....YIKES....your dog's antiB....again? Was it you that took it the last time, or someone else? Yes, pill keepers work well, as long as you always get it from there, then you can look at it and know if you took it or not. MY mom's prob is I don't know if she remembers to look at it...and when I ask, she says she has taken it. Found a new larger pill keeper for her that she loved, but when I was at her house several days later she was still using the little one for am pills, and keeping her pm pills in the bathroom (a no-no). I keep trying to get her to realize she needs to keep them in ONE pill keeper, and in plain view, so she will know if she has taken her meds.
Kymn, If you really were serious about moving, I think you would like Beannie's place bettah....near the beach, and really nice. I couldn't compete with that! Our condo is one my DH bought when new, and lived in it for a short time, and has been rented for years. REALLY nice and most stuff is new inside, w/ screened in room at back porch, but the area has been going downhill the past few years, so I doubt you would like it there. I really hope you don't have to move, but if you do, that you can find something just as nice! IF not, don't think that is the new *forever*, as you never know who will come into your life in the future. And you are smart, and beautiful, and have a heart of gold, so I would be VERY particular!!!
JUnie, HOW SWEET of your g'daus to welcome their grandpa in that manner!!! Can picture how touched he was. Sorry your DD is having marital probs too. That sucks.
Well, I WAS doing bettah, but feeling a bit weak right now, so signing off. Someone will have to dwink for me tonight!
Huggs,
Kathy

Nope it was Astorm and we all kidder her mercilessly ,is that a word?, about how now she will have to finish the round of antibotics as once you start.... And then she talked about how her tail wasn't wagging or some such which sent me in to hilarious giggles, then told how she was going to have to confess to her vet and that is when I had to fall off the chair in laughter! so now Dorothy is following suit... well talk to Astorm and see how her follow up vet appointments were - LOL!!!! Gosh I just adore you all!
One thing you can do if you cannot remember if you took the pill or not and you by some miracle know when you picked up the prescription ( maybe on the bottle) and know if you took the first one the next day is to just count the pills and see where you are. I've had to do that ...well more often than I care to admit!
So funny about all the rental talk... Kymn you would be welcome here too! My friend's daughter is here for the summer as a guest and then yesterday got an email from a friend one street over who got a call from a neighbor asking about their guest house which is rented so she asked me. Then today got a call from the grandson of the man who built my house, well - he has a friend who went through a terrible divorce and is looking for somewhere to stay ( at little more iffy on him as he kept telling me he was living out of his car and such...) Hmm? And while the idea of a male on the premisis is a nice thought - think I'd prefer females.
Well, Kathy you what?? Oh my gosh you are not a big person how on earth did you manage to carry all that? Sounds like the cabinet was way bigger than you then dog house? no wonder you are sore - Pants - help for Kathy... long massage then a long soak in the hot tub with champagne and rasberries and then a little chocolate on the side. Then pants and jocks will carry you to the hammock for you to snooze till you feel better! We will try and put up a barricade so no one tried to get in the hammock by mistake or turn you over and out.
My Mom used to call me all the time when she couldn't find something. I lived about 1/2 away so I'd sit and just close my eyes and think of the first place she might have left them and belive it or not I was right most of the time on the first guess. The most impressive one was when she called and couldn't find them and was needing to leave for an apt. I remembered earlier talking to her after she had cooked and cleaned up the kitchen so I said look in the dishwasher - They actually were in the dishwasher. After that she called me all the time.
Umm Claire on yeast and dough - Ick!! on the first one! Hope your job prospects work out. Know you will find the perfect job. Hey what about being a wine taster as a moonlighting job? Actually a friend of mine's daughter just got a job doing just that and come to think of it she is out in Seattle. Will have to find out where she is. She is such an amazing girl. Her older sister came over to babysit and she was only 11. She was quite the businesswoman with pad an pencil asking all the questions in more detail than I have ever given. Always happy and always mangaes to have things work out. Really lovely girl.
OK< so I guess I should get something done... watched "Double Jeopardy" with Ashley Judd and my son and have lost most of the day.... sigh... hate for him to go away to camp for a month....:>(

THanks Stanzie.....good to know someone can keep the facts straight! After you said it was Gail, then it all came back to me too. SO funny....wonder who will take the pet meds next??? I have Maverick's pills on the k table, where I take mine too, and I do think about that happening. So sweet to get the TT's to take care of me....awwwwwwww.....however I will pass on the bubbly. Really cannot stomach thinking of a dwink right now. DH brought me some sprite (no 7-up at the casino!), and after writing earlier, I ended up w/ a long upchucking seesion....NOT fun! I know, TMI, sawwy about that...oh wait we are not supposed to say we are sawwy. Going to try to take a shower and go down for the drawings. I did have DH go to the buffet and tell then what happened, so maybe they will double-check everything and no one else will get it. OH and thanx also for the hammock barricade.....I could not handle being dumped over today. Gotta move slowly........
Still feel so badly for all the galz going thru SE's that make them miserable. I had forgotten how sick you can get, as I don't get sick very often. HUGS to you all!!!!!
ANd don't forget to be dwinking all the dwinks for me too, okay?
Sober Kathy

Gosh Kathy sounds like you may have some food poisoning going on... I have gotten that twice and it was horrible both times! Might have hubby check to see if other people have gotten sick. My first time was at this lovely hotel and turns out 60 people were poisoned but had to have been a lot more as I for one never told. It was awful - stayed in bed for 3 days and couldn't move was in so much pain even my hair, skin and teeth hurt - just everything. not something to wish even on an enemy! Hope you feel better soon. How about some Gatorade instead to get you strength back....

Kathy.....this one is really the pits.
All......did the ride today. Can't believe how much easier it was than doing 45 miles 4 days after completing radiation last year.
There was a woman who is just getting into cycling so I was able to help her out.
New Belgium had the Beer Garden. I really didn't like their IPA (unlike the wonderful stuff from Kennewick I had in Richland WA). Not often I pour out beer, but I could only drink half the glass.
I had energy to spare as I finished. Pumping up my tires at the 40 mile mark helped too.
Making a yummy dinner. Got asparagus and fresh rhubarb on the way home. Plus wine I got for $4 a bottle at Trader Joe's.
Life is good.

Happy Pau Hana!! I have outdone myself today...listed the old RV and got it sold and cash in hand in one day...so tye tye now...Kath I hope you are having a blast and so sorry you had too much fun and got sickie poo.

Kymn...I also thought Blackberry bushes till was it Wahine clarified!!!! DUH!!!!! I guess that tells you how tech saavy I'm not!!! Sorry that your DH is not being supportive.....Remind how old your kids are.....
Junie....how sweet the way your GD welcomed your DH home...
Claire....my DH loves a good IPA...he has his favorites....
beans....congrats on selling the RV so fast....thats wonderful
Husker....so did vancover win the game?
Stanzie, goldie, Wahine how are you doing?
DD fell off her ripstick twice today....first time that has happened.....she is sore!!! but okay....
Does anyone remember the show Blossom that was on in the early 90's? My DD#1 watched it (or maybe it was me who did!!!)...Well, Mayim Bialik who played Blossom and is on the Big bang Theory is in Denver this week-end. She spoke to our saturday afternoon women's learning group. It was fun hearing all about her....growing up, acting and other fun stuff...she has two cute little boys....Now I can say I know someone famous!!! Well, of course she doesnt know my name!!!
Need to order my DH a Father's day present...or don't I?? Can;t remember if he got me a mother's day gift as he treated me quite niceley, but then again it was also my b'day....well even so, maybe I should get him something since he is being so supportive of my trip....going to see about ordering him a bottle of single malt scotch that can't get in the states.....but will it arrive in time!!!!
Sweet dreams to all the loungettes!!! Karen

Good Morning! Got up early so can finally eat today....dare I trust the buffet???? Feel so much better today....just aching neck, but can do stuff again.....yay. Sadly, I am down some $$$, but may try to hit another casino on the way home. DH got even again, and with how much he bets, I am always glad if we go home even (of course it is better to win, but being even it ok too, w/ free rooms, free dwinks, and free food....they can leave out the food poisoning next time!).
Stanzie, I feel fortunate that I was only sick for about 24 hrs....not nearly as bad as you had it!
Jeannnie Beannie, YAY, YAY, YAY (I am even trying to do a happy dance...NOT....not quite that well yet, but would like to do one for you!). Un-frickin-believable how quickly you sold it...sounds like a record to me. So very, very happy for you!!!! Hopefully that is the start of more good things to come....would be nice to have a string of good luck, wouldn't it?
Yes Karen, I remember Mayim from Blossom....my girls and I watched that show together every week (that, plus Golden GIrls, and Eerie Indiana were our favorites). I had seen her on the Big Bang, and it is amazing how much she almost looks the same as when she was on Blossom. Neat that you got to see her!!!
Kymn, Did you get a kick out of how many of us thought you meant "blackberry bushes"....LOL! Hope you are doing better today....lots of offers of places to stay though.
Well, gotta go and get ready to leave here. Long drive home. Want to wish you all a totally wonderful Sunday. I actually had one dwink last night....frozen Pina Colada....figured it could be dinner also, and mild enough to tolerate the likker! But thanks for anyone that dwank a lot for me last night....mucho gracias.
Happy Trails
Kathy

Oh, I totally thought blackberry bushes and I even have a blackberry phone! Well good grief, shows how well I'm doing with technology. I was wondering why that would make him mad as I thought well couldn't the birds have gotten to them? BTW I so hate my phone - never remember to check messages as I know there is one but who called? so I put it off then I call and I have 15 messages from days back... do not like it at all. OH, and yes I erased ALL my contacts and still don't have them all back. All I did was do what they said to do which is to back them up on the computer... well it erases them all! So if that is what happened, look it up - very common problem, of course no answer to how to not have it happen though.....hate that phone!
Congrats big time on selling the RV! Beanie!!
Claire - so nice of you to help someone starting out. It must be nice to be able to ride like that and that far, I cannot imagine but then here there are so many hills and SOOOOO much traffic it is not a good place to be on a bike at all. Of course I only have an old lady gramma bike so what do I actually know. Yes it does have gears at least LOL.
Kathy- well, yes at least hubby came out even and I gather it is great to win but the point is having fun playing, yes?
Karen, hope the Scotch can come in on time if not you can always get a picture and put it in a card and say something like - here is something to think of me while I'm out of town.... I get presents for the kids to give my ex. I usually give nicer presents than he gives me as I just can't bring myself to give him just junk. Of course when I ask the kids what they want to give him they say something like, well, he needs a new vacume cleaner! Well, I'm not That nice. Anyway, for Mother's day he made his famous ribs and a nice dinner which was very nice. One year he had one of the kids give me a horrid plastic candle holder and another child gave me the other one! Now that wasn't very nice. Ususally each child will give me a tiny plant, like an impatient each... hmm I know it is the thought that counts.... But then when we were married for out 10th anniversary he took a copper pan that I owned and had it retinned. well that could have been nice but he charged it on my credit card! Oh well, if they had little music notes to add on a computer I'd sing sarcastically of course " Memories,,,," OK, Happy Sunday Everyone!!!! And No more stealing pet meds! LOL!

Dork.....hoping you didn't fry your laptop. O no!!!!!!
Beans......good going on the RV. Most likely, someone needed a "guest cottage" for a family invasion, or a camping vehicle. Nice that it was all over at once.
Kathy...bllech on the food poisoning. Hope you feel better and recoup some $.
Kymm.......get through the treatment before you do anything too harsh. Unless the guy is actually doing something dangerous. My guess is that it will all work out.
DorK......my take is that with all the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ you will be raking in because business has picked up, that you won't be in dire straights even if you need a new laptop.
All...............forgot to mention that I saw a bald eagle sitting on a dead tree in the swamp as we passed. Think it was a lady nesting. Lots of people taking pictures. I didn't have my camera with me. But what an amazing sight.
I want some of Beans' luck. I was dreaming of new job situations, so I can see I am getting my head around my new life. So excited.

Hi again -mission accomplished - will be off shortly to the animal hospital to try to save my mocha. his snout is swelling, his eye is closed and he is on and off disoriented. I may go for the risky surgery for remval of the teeth cuz i think even at 14.5 yrs, he still has a love for life and if i cay get him another few years, it is worth a shot. He still gives kisses and loves his treets despite his sore mouth/face. DD left for work but said her goodbyes to him but i decided to get a 2nd opinioiin and this hospital will to the distractuib if teeth right there. Please pray for us, I am crying more than i have since the beast.

DH is making me breakfast (and eggs for Mocha). I have to pull myself together before I make this drive. I do not want DH to come with me for this one. Once I get my boy loaded in my car, I know I can do it. I may have to surrender and put him down. I have asked God to lead me,and along with the vets guidance, to do what is right for him and not me. I just can't help but try to do all I can for him. I am so confused.
Thanks girls for your support. DH is being very supportive too. He stayed over last night for the first time as we partied until 2am. I have been up since 8am and am tired and wake up to problems with my Bo Bo (aka MoMo, Mocha), a dead mouse in the skimmer basket, pc problems and a blown circuit to my outdoor power. I think I may need to have the outdoor box replaced, this happened before. In the meantime, I have extension cords and can make it work.
I think I am going to waltz into the lounge and have a strong one, perhaps Pants? ha.
This is supposed to me my day of R&R. I will be strong and get through this. Who know's what is next. Well I am going to go and take my Mocha into my room while DH cooks. We are going to have a love session and I am going to ask him what he thinks.
Thanks for hearing me friends. I know many of you have far bigger problems - gonna pop into the chapel right quick and pray (from the chapel in my bedroom). Stay tuned. Love you gals through thick n thin....

Don't forget baby girl that we are here should you need to make the hard decision.........I'm hoping the vet can help.
Love n hugs. Chrissy

Oh dear Dorothy, All our hearts are going out to you right now. I feel teary-eyed just reading about Mocha. Hoping and praying for the very best, and I know you will make the right decision, whatever it may be. Whenever I have had to put dogs down (even when they were only 12), I would be very stoic and maybe a few tears falling, then would go out and get in the car, and start bawling like crazy, and of course couldn't drive for awhile. I have even had the vet come out and check on me. I KNOW this is so hard for you,and hope it gives you comfort to know you have given Mocha such an amazing, loving home. At least you have an animal hospital you trust, so they can advise you also, on what they think is best for your loving Mocha. (((HUGS))) for you, Mocha, and your DD. Hope everything will be okay.

DorK....I'm so sorry to hear about your sweet dear Mocha.....We've lots too many dogs way too young in the past couple years....so I understand the hurt and pain....we had 2 Berners who we lost to cancer in 2009 and 2010....miss them so.....
Woke up with a massive headache (again)...sinus???? if not what else....need to go take some ibuprofen....took way to much yesterday....but choice between pain and headache, got to go with the ibuprofen.....
Will check in later....Loungettes...have a good Sunday.....

My Mocha was put to sleep today. I am so upset. He had a great life and I still have my two lil girl WD's. It was a tough decision but his dental disease was very far gone. Surgery would have been very risky, his murmor was a grad 5 of 6. The vet said that it would have been a difficult recovery for him. It was also possible that his organs were damaged from the infections. I gave him alot of ham and bacon strips while I was waiting to sign the papers and pay. We talked about all options and I asked the vet "what would you do if he was your baby boy"...need I say more??
DD was at work and called me as I was driving home from the vet. We cried together via telephone. I have not told Isabella WD and Mandi WD yet. I think I will tell them that Mo left to join the circus. Ya think they will buy that haha! Honestly, I rescued Bella so that my Mandi would not be alone knowing that Mo was up there in years. WD's love to cuddle and I like that my two girls still have each other since I spend so many hours away from home
RIP Mocha "Bobo" Klein ♥ I will miss my babiest baby boy. Thanks friends for your caring and love.
Let's all have a toast to Mocha! Cheerz, Tears and loving memories ♥
PS I will get you you girls evenutually but wanted to say to Kymn that I hope things are getting better. Proud of your boys and hope you are feeling great so you can get to the Lord Stanley Parade. Husk, hope you are feeling well.I will try hard to catch up with the rest of you but for now, taking a valium and waiting for DD to come home from work. My head is a-spinning like wild.

DorK....I'm sorry for your loss on Mocha.....Our 4 legged children bring us so much joy and love....its never easy when they are gone.....hope his memories bring you a smile....

Karen - thanks for the congrats on my quick sale! Now, what else can I sell around here? I'm sorry I didn't see Blossom, sounds like it was an interesting talk the actress gave. Sorry about the sinus cr@p again too, the pollen is still so bad here too that we've had scratchy throats and sinus stuff. Hope you feel better soon.
Wahine - whew, so glad you feel better, but watch out for those buffets! I do hope you can win some of your $$ back. That was an unbelievable day yesterday, I musta priced it right! Thanks for the happy dance and let's get a gigantic string of good luck going for all of us! Hope you have a safe trip and can meet up this eve for happy hour.
Dotty - I am so so so sorry to hear about Mocha. Holy moley sounds like you have so much going on this weekend...tech issues and lost power and now your poor Mocha had to be put to sleep. He's lucky that he had you to take such good care of him...I am praying for him and for you that you will be able to know you did all you could for him. Also glad to hear you had fun with your DH last night. You do need a big strong one after all this going on. So so so hard - I understand as I've had to do this before too, such a hard decision and so painful emotionally. This is partly why I haven't been able to bring myself to adopt a new fur baby...the last one was so hard for me to see go. I am sending you big hugs and just know that we care and hope you are doing okay.
Stanzie - Thanks for the reminder, I always forget to check my cell ph msgs too. I really wish we didn't "need" these things...I remember back when I first heard of a car phone and thought it was the stupidest thing because then everyone could get ahold of you, no way to escape. Course now I'm so glad to have a cell phone for when I travel.
Claire - Yes, a man bought it for camping with his kids. I'm delighted it will go to some kids for fun outings. It's a nice little thing and I cried as he pulled it away. I did a lot a chemo in it last year when we were out here. She had a name and I talked to her and told her I would only let her go to someone who would take care of her. I am glad to not have a bunch of rv's piling up on the grounds, though. Today I listed one of our trucks too. DH and I woke up today thinking we just have way too much stuff still. So we are determined to get rid of it. We have 4 cars and really don't need them all. I always get so excited to see a bald eagle, they are so big and beautiful! I hope we get a lucky streak going for all of us and really hoping your job situation turns out perfect. I'm glad you are so excited!! YAY!
Chrissy - it is always so nice to see you pop in and your prayers for Dotty are beautiful.
I'm toasting Mocha and praying for Dorthy to know she did the best thing even though it was so hard and that she will be able to tell Isabella and Mandi...I love the idea to tell them that Mo has gone to join the circus. Such a lovely and fun thought for him. Big hugs to you Dorthy!
Hugs to all of you and puleeeze meet me for Pau Hana this eve so we can chat some more.
Love and hugs to all, Beanie
