    MY MATERS ARE PERFECT! NO DAMAGE, WHATSOEVER! As for the peach tree, I won't know until it does or doesn't start to produce the fruit.

    Good memory there DorK, I do hope Gail stops back by.

    Sue, yes you can use our photo with Stella. Did you ask Stella if it was ok with her?

    Kathy, DH's daughter makes us a photo book like that for Xmas every year. It was my suggestion, as they never knew what to get us. Now she makes one for all off the grandparents. All 4 sets. Wish you could share the one you made for your mom, I am certain she will love it. Happy to dwink for you.........so I should be thanking you, not you thanking me!

    Enjoy your nappy poo DorK. Suppose to be in the 80's here by 2'sday.

    Karen, I have some empty bottles of liquor your SIL could use. He can jes fill them with water when he gets home, and he can send the newly purchased ones here. All that fuss over a coffee cup, really??? As for the supplements, some retailers way more, some less. Depends what you are looking for, as in quality (I guess) Certain ones, I get from my cancer center, who also sells online (but more expensive) but they are 3rd party tested. Wishing your DD and her hubby a safe trip home, I'm sure you hate to see them leave.

    Funny switch on the song lyics Bernie! Read a few, didn't get through all of them.

    Funny lyrics, Bernie! Just came in a'sweatin' from working outside, so started singing some of them for DH. Funny!

    YAY....Gwad Dorkie told me who Cindy is! I never called her by her real name, just TIeDye, so really had NO idea. Yeah, where are you, TieDye? I think someone else has been asking about you too (Allison?). Dork, how neat that your parents use the digital frame! I did one for my mom awhile ago, but she never remembers how to use it, so now it sits in a box. So many things she sees now, she thinks she has never seen before. Sees things like with a child's wonder. She wants to start painting, but has to have me painting with her...just hope she can remember how she mixed her colors, etc., as she was SO good, but I am afraid she will get really frustrated.

    Lori, thats sweet of your stepdau to do that...if she makes the same one for more than one person, that would be MUCH easier! I have made them for my parents from our trips, but this one was trickey cuz i had to find a lot of old pics, (going back over 90 yrs!), and put them in order too. Had to leave out her boyfriends, and my stepdad, as I know my dad would NOT like that!!! LOL. The more recent pics, I did put some in of her and I...duh! So glad your maters are good!!! Yay for the plant protectors!!

    Oh Karen, Sorry to hear about your dad having those "accidents" and your mom getting all frustrated. I think your DH should get SEVERAL coffee cups he likes, so that won't be a problem. I started using the tall ones, and at first it would either be in the dw, or else on the counter to be washed.HA! Now  I have about 5 or 6 of them....problem solved. I use the Keurig, and am glad the tall coffee mugs fit under it. (((Karen))), you have had a hard week! Sounds like a lot of stuff this week too.....hope it won't be too stressful.

    OK....gotta "hit the shower" (said that for you, Bernie!)....still a bit dizzy, but was able to do lots of work outside. Then we just got TOO hot, so had to stop. Is it Happy Hour yet? What're we having Lori? Are you gonna dwink those purty dwinks you posted, for mese???

    Lovin Hugs,

    Kath

    Katrinka-no-dwinka, I will cyberly drink those purty dwinks for you, cuz in real life, I would have no part of them!!! But hey, if I am dwinking them cyberly, SO CAN YOU! I have said before, I am not a sweets or chocolate person, what can I say? Don't hate now!

    I thought it was Karen's son that had the issue with the coffee cup? No matter, that's silly, and even worse if her DH.

    I sawry you still dizzy. And what's this about "WE" came in all sweaty? Don't hit the shower too hard and when you are done, have one of those S'mores!

    Lori, I said "Then we just got TOO hot, so had to stop."  I don't think I said "we came in all sweaty". My DH rarely sweats...lucky thing! But the good thing was, I got him to work outside WITH me today....thats a plus!!!!

    the kids just left...DD#2 drove to the airport with DH and DD#1 and SIL....And yes, its DS who made the stink about the coffee cup....DH has a collection of cups...he's not the problem....Got some nice pics of the kids with everyone, but not all of us together!!!!  should have tried to do that as we have someone doing some yard work who could have taken the pic, but didn't think quick enough, but did get a couple with DS and his DS and BIL!!!  Got to download them on the computer and email them to SIL.  They have sooo much stuff to take back, sure hope their luggage is within weight limits.

    Got to go pay bils and see what is going on with work tomorrow....what reports I need to finish...no time in the morning and I have my dept meeting and won't get to the school till lunch time and the staffings start in the afternoon......

    Kathy, cool you are making that for your mom. I have used snapfish to make books before, love shutterfly. Have a really cool coffee mug with Aubrey on it dressed as sleeping beauty when she was 5 in Disney.

    Ok, sitting here with dinner ready to go, but my grill won't start. DH is out at the farm, was supposed to be here at 7, it's now 7:15, and he's not answering his phone. Ahhhhh, Ray time, how I'd love to have just a little bit of Ray time.....

    Bernie, love the lyrics. I have a whole book of those. I'll have to see if I can find it and add some more.

     We had a quiet night after the hail quit. It was small and didn't accumulate. Then Gracie decided to puke on the bed at 3:15 am, but was a "small" episode and she was fine. And then...she was up at 6:00, went out, and back to bed. Set alarm for 8:00 but snoozed until 8:30 and had to be at church before 9:00 to play for services. I made it but only played one prelude. DH stayed with mom and dad and came home this morning. He said she looked pretty washed out, from the vertigo. Guess I will have to see for myself. Debated driving up tonight but think I want to sleep in my own bed and DH has dog duty so I won't have to get up in the middle of the night. Most nights she sleeps until 6 or 6:30. I can leave by 8:00 and be in Lincoln by 9:30. Appt is at 10:00. Maybe I can even drive through coffee shop and get a chai and a scone! That's my new favorite treat. Scones. Mmmmm....

    Wow! Thanks ladies! My own drink and fireworks - thanks NM! LOL, Allison, I forgot about the chicken suit.  What's a cotton candy martini? Who's Mr Big and why is he getting married? No on the Mr. Small, I concur. But I like Mr. Bigger! Chrissy, so glad you got your computer back. I posted on Thursday evening and then changed my password and promptly forgot it.  Doh!  and then I had to work... a lot. I'm working for a firm now and hope to get my CPA license some time next summer.

    Ummm... NM? I think that hammock thingy is a sex toy. BE CAREFUL!  Hope you didn't spill your drink. BRRRR, Lori! I drove home (over the mountains) around midnight last Thursday through a crazy storm. The fog was so thick you could hardly see 20 feet ahead of you, and then on Friday I drove back over the mountain to visit another client and it was haling! And today? Sunny and clear & in the 70's. ??  Oh, Kathy, I'll take one of those peep-wiches! I was going to send my DD an Easter basket cuz she was going to stay on campus over Easter but she decided to come home so there were peeps in the house and I accidently ate some. They needed chocolate.   And fire. I swear everything is better when it's caramelized... or fried. That Smores-tini looks good too, Lori. But my that's a big kitchen torch you have there. No, Dork, the neighbors are still there and they are still obnoxious. Sometimes I forget they are there. Thanks for being my alibi. Everything will be ok here... he thought I was talking to this guy:  and he was very jealous.

    Beautiful sunshiny day here on the left coast. Took WD for a power walk ... here's the view ... lots of surfers in the water but I don't know how they manage to paddle out with all the seaweed. Wanted to bring this guy home but DH said no  ... well looking forward to getting thorugh this week and maybe starting a home project or something. Oh and I need a haircut. Haven't had one since the "bob". Ok going to see who I'm bumping and then watch Mad Men.

    LOL at those pics, Gail! OK to 'splain Mr. Big...when I went to Ireland in November (and got to meet Bernie in person!!!), I was going to meet Jaybird as we landed in New York. WELL, Mr. BIg (CHris Noth) was on our flight, in first class, but my seat was close enuf I could put my foot in first class (lol) and Mr. Big would walk thru coach, I guess so we knew he was there! HE looked dreamy at the beginning, but by the end of the long flt, he looked pretty shop-worn too. BUT, dear Jaybird was so intent on trying to see me come off the plane, that she didn't even see Mr. Big, and he prolly walked right in front of her! SO, after that, we added him to the lounge, and all the jokes that accompanied his name. Someone also posted his bare butt when he wore a kilt and flashed everyone. SO dats how he joined us at the HTL. BTW, it was so awesome meeting Bernie and Jaybird, that it made that trip extra-special!

    You and Dorkaroni enjoy your dwinks...mese gonna take da dramamine anuther day, so no weal dwinkies yet for mese.

    Ciao!

And Kathy told you bout Mr. Big (Chris Noth) and he was a great tender here at the HTL, but then he got married, an we can't have no married men tendin here, so we replaced him with Mr Bigger, But not the guy in the water that Lori first posted, cause Mema pointed out he was showing he was Mr smaller, so then someone found a new pic, and he will do. I will send Mr Bigger over to give you a back massage, K? Then you can meet him first "hands" hehehe.

Plus you would not have said sweaty, you would have said glistening....lol. I guess to me, hot and sweaty just go hand in hand. Can I have the other shoulder of dat monkey?
