    Saint, is that your baby?  He or she is really cute.  I have a little mini weiner dog, he is the cutest little thing.  I am going to walk the beach now and come on down when everyone has some free time.

    OH, thank heavens we've turned a page.  That really big page was driving me crazy with having to scroll all over the screen to read the posts!

    Please....no more huge pics.  You can resize them to make them fit the page.  Sahalie can tell you how to do the resize thingy.

    Margaret, I did make that sugarless cake today, it is different, it did not rise as much as a real sugar cake, it is heavy and moist but taste good.  We will have it with pineapple or peaches.

    Jaz, a lot of times my computer will only let me do the little pictures, I would like to learn to resize them also.  Are you on the beach or still doing daily duties?  Will you get to watch big brother tonight?

    Foots, thinking of you and hoping your doing good.

    Julz, I love your kindness and your sense of humor.  You are a joy

    Sahalie, you can see a pic of my sweet duck if you check your flip flops.  She quacks me up.

    Faith, hope your having a good easy safe trip

    Jaz, can you post the song New Soul by Yael Neim.  It is a little ditty that I can't get out of my head I just wonder if I am weird or if others loves it too

    later.

    Thanks Jazz for mentioning the page too.

    Girls we need to resize this new page before it gets out of hand like the last page.

    It's easy.

    For the huge pictures go back to your post and click EDIT. 

    When page comes on to edit, click the picture.

    A long tiny window will come down and at the bottom is says PROPERTIES

    Click Properties.

    Reduce the size (numbers) in the two oblong boxes by making your picture

    no larger than 500 being the largest. 

    If you have a picture with two different number properties as most do then

    just figure your little bit of math and down size the photo.

    I usually leave the last two numbers alone and only change the first number.

    Example:

    780 X 578  (i change to 480 (lower than 500 remember) and 278

    The resized picture will show.

    If it looks good to you and fits this window without a scrollbar below it then

    you are good.

    Click Save and your edited photo will fit this window and our page will not go

    off the charts.

    Simple easy.

    Now go try it. 

    Thank you.  My eyes thank you.  This page thanks you.

    *

    You could even go fix the last page when you have time.

    One trick that was taught to me is to type words only above and below the picture.

    If you type beside the picture there goes the page off into oblivion.

    Again.   Thanks.

    Spar.

    Your doggie and duck are adorable. 

    As you know I love both.  Lots!

    You can resize the photo.  Please don't delete it.  They are so cute.

    Once a picture has been added to this board thread or any thread you

    have the neat capability of using the PROPERTIES button as I noted above.

    XOXO

    How many ways can I say my flip flops are driving me bonkers.

    I am frustrated to the max.   I see them.  But can't grab them. 

    I am shall we say very perplexed and flusterated.

    I need the Beach.  You guys.  And a big Margarita with no salt.

    HHHaRumph.

    Spar.  YOU DID IT.  I just noticed your resized picture of your two adorables.

    Bite on the wrist eh.   Silly duckie.  

    I'm trying to talk some reason into my flip flops but cannot.

    Get my drift!

    Foots.  I think we are too late for the party.   All our east coast beach babes are

    deep into their beauty sleep I think.

    It just got dark here in California.  I wish the girls would stay up later.

    Hey maybe this weekend we can have a slumber party!

    Yeah.  I'll ask them tomorrow.  How fun would that be. 

    You will post pictures Foots but in the mean time I am very happy to see your posts.

    XOXO

    Whewwwwww beachie-keenie-bunny-bears (I still miss Iris and always have my fingers crossed that she'll pop back in here where we all love her and nestle in on a lounge chair.)

    We are safely up here in our little haven of the north..... and as you may have realized, we made a detour to go and hug our dear sweet inspirational SAINT. Saint and I met in the chatroom last year and I invited her up here to paradise, but instead we ended up spending a nite in her guest room on the way up. The woman could open a bed and breakfast.

    I remembered to take a couple pictures and I'll download them soon, so you can see her in person..... but SAINT I forgot to have Miss Molly take a pic of the two of us together -- so now you have to come up here to Sister Bay and remind me!! I can't wait for the rest of you to get to know this amazing, dear friend.

    I've nearly caught up on my 'real' email and the beach news and will unpack my flip flops as soon as possible. My DH has already had 2 extended trips up here and had so many surprises awaiting my arrival. Like he had a tree removed and has made us a nice little 'patio' of sorts. (Last summer he had a room added so I can have a 'studio' here, too.)

    Not only that but he had someone put in a toilet -- in our second bedroom closet!! Picture the smallest smallest smallest space possible to house a toilet and voila!! It will come in handy. Now of course we don't have that storage -- so must sort out where to store fishing poles, nets and life preservers and a big ice chest etc etc.

    better send

    did you hear me exhale?

    Faith, it sounds like you have a wonderful husband.  We are all glad Saint came to the beach thread and can't wait to see pictures

    Sahalie so glad you are up and running again.  Sorry we all konked out and went to sleep on ya last night.  All those drinks and walking the beach tired us out.  Hey, she doesn't get Paulo, she gets pee wee, wanna dream about him??? Aren't I mean.

    Lisa, that is an incredible flower, all I can say is WOW.  love your pictures

    Julz, I know you are back at work but post when you can.

    Foots, it was good to read your post, hope things get better and better for you.

    Love that picture with the girl and dog on the surf board.  Would love to see that in person.

    Everyone have a good day, got to go get coffee and breakfast

    Good Morning on the Beach.

    Wonderful to see the white sand and swaying palms ready for shade giving this weekend.

    Ms. Lisa of SoCal.  Would that beautiful plant be the Mojave Yucca also known as the

    Spanish Dagger.  The white bells are so fine but it was the spires that were a helpful hint.

    Grows great down your way.  

    Fog is in again this AM and I love it.   My deck is in need of a cleaning as there are a zillion

    Redwood dallies on it.  When the dogs come inside they have ornaments hanging from their

    tails.   Redwood ornaments.

    Tonight the Olympics begin on USA TV.    I sure hope the athlete's don't come home with

    respiratory distress from that foul air over there.  Purty bad.

    Spar.  Good morning to you.  Laughing my flip flops off at Pee Wee Herman. 

    Paulo. Yes.  Pee Wee. No.   He was a riot in those movies.  He had a bomber bike.

    Yes indeedie it was so good to be able to get my flip flops in action again.  Brother.

    Julz.   I hope your night at work was a good one.  When you're refreshed come on over

    here so we can all hang out.

    Foots.  We'll announce our weekend ideas a little later OK.  

    Faith.  I heard you exhale!

    Teeny Loo's are wonderful.  Better than the alternative eh!  Have a grand time.

    The area looks so fun and so pretty.   Thanks for inviting Saint to the Beach.

    Saint.  Welcome.  Hope to see you today. 

    Jazz.  Busy girl.  You too.  Me too.  We will look for your smiling face later today.

    Angels.  Near and far.  Loving you always.  Angel stories bring smiles as do friends of

    Angels.  Near and far.  Always grateful.  

    Shrink.  Hello to our newly weds. 

    Margaret.  I hope you have a fun weekend watching games and I hope Joe is feeling 100% better

    from being checked by the bike woman.  How is your son doing job wise.  Any prospects yet.

    It's really ruff at this time for our kids to find jobs that pay decently and supply benefits.

    If you hear great noise it's me cleaning off the deck.  Man'ana est lovelies.
