    Saint ~ Thank you & NO YOU ARE NOT!  Sometimes I get caught up in everything & forget to see the forest through the trees! I am always open to suggestions!

    Here is the song you requested.....

    My sister just loved Joni Mitchell. I can remember dancing around & singing to her music when I was 4 or 5 years old when my sister played her music ON a record player.....

    Sige: I can't tell you how happy I am to see your post above. You have such flair!!

    DH and I running to quilt shop together: LOL. Hopefully we'll both emerge together. It's a drippie-rain-gray kinda day (which we really nee) but he obviously has cabin fever -- if he's coming on this field trip. Gotta love him.

    Since Saint has met him, I'm sure she's getting the biggest laugh -- at the mere thought!

    Celia, always love what you bring to us.

    Sahalie, you're descriptions of weather could be transcribed into poetry

    Julz, homework. I actually had forgotten how much I hated that process -- someday you'll forget too

    Spar, just love the thought of your new home coming together

    Lisa, I seriously 'needed' the photo of the flag -- in all of it's natural splendor (the book I'm working on now is "Red, White, and Blue.) Maybe tonight I can get your giggle into photobucket.

    Everybody else get on with it:

    Margo you must be packed and at the airport already: hahahaha

    Footie, I'm eager to hear about your latest set of appointments. When will you know?

    Shrink, fly thru and tell us how much fun we're gonna have at your party

    Wings, looking for you now

    Jaz, must take some time to listen in on your songs..... I've gotten behind.

    Harley and Dream, you gotta come splash here some more, so we get to know ya.

    Moose? where'd you go??? Sure hope you're feeling 100% these days.

    I'm sure I've left out some -- unintentionally. A to Z hugs. 

    DD2 just called and had learned that two of her high school friends had each had a parent pass in the last couple of days...... folks that we knew well, back in 'high school' era. Very sad. Unexpected. One never knows and all that sorta stuff...... anyhow...... makes me all of the more mindful to LOVE each of you here -- while we are able.

    Hi Beachies:  You're all invited to the wedding brunch next Sunday.   I want to tell everyone who attends that I'm glad they're here and mostly I'm glad I'm here.  When I was first diagnosed in May of 07 I really didn't think I would be.  Not only do I feel well, but I have a bunch of new friends to hang out with on the beach. Volleyball anyone?  I'll watch.

    Sahalie ~ I'm glad your fog magically makes everything disappear, including the Jalapeno Temps! For a short while anyway!

    Saint how fun was that sand sliding on their bellies. We do remember the little Simple things the most!

    Lisa again you can find the beach in everything around you! Even a friends bathroom!

    Celia it was just one of those kind of days! HEAR! THERE! & EVERYWHERE! A little of this a little of that....I guess you caught on! LOL! Some days there isn't any rhyme or reason to it! So we just go where our mind takes us with the wind.....

    Sige ~ Hi, good to see ya here!  You caught on! Some days gotta go with the flow. O.K. I will quit the 1 liners or whatever they may be. I'm the strange one on the beach now. Glad you can't see my picture at the time! LOL! 

    Spar ~ What can I say....I hope you leave those brushes in the bleach for a few Days! LOLLOLLOL!  I'm glad the dog & duck are making up!  Your Heart is coming along MAGNETIC!  Bles the House that is safe & sound!

    Ahhh Shrink I'm glad your around!  But do you really want to watch me fall flat on my face in the sand volley ball game. My face would be unrecognizable at your wedding! LOL!

    Faith I don't know your DH, But I can just imagine trying to drag my DH into a place like that! Major WOW! TEE HEE & LOL! That's one of those Dear you owe me one for this moments!  Homework was better tonight, my special blessing for today!......Losing parents of childrens friends bring a whole new light to our lives!  (((((((HUGS))))))) to YOU & YOUR FAMILY!

    Spar,

    Hey there!  How are you doing? 

    Sorry I haven't been around much, but I have been working alot.  My schedule is looking to be 3 or 4 days a week, usually only partial days, but for the past two weeks, I have worked a full day on Thursday, too, and that is just such a long day!  I'm working at this little 'expensive' boutique in town.  But, I am now off for 4 days... YIPPEE!!

    We are watching to see what will happen with IKE...  Hanna looks to be a minor annoyance, with high winds and some rain.  It is still a tropical storm, but the Weather Channel says it MAY become a very weak cat. 1 hurricane before it makes landfall.  But, my MIL is kind of worried, so she'll be coming over tomorrow, and she'll spend the night with us, and maybe the weekend.  She moved to SC, just 7 miles away from us after I moved down here in 2006.  This will be our first hurricane in the area, so we are kind of excited, and just a little nervous.  We decided to have a hurricane party, and we have some beer and the ingredients for my favorite drink, a melon ball.

    I'll be around more, don't worry, Faith!!

    Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

    Harley

    Hi beach buds!!!  I hope all are doing well and enjoying their little slice of the beach.

     Not much happening with me.  Still trying to get everything situated after the camping trip.  Tomorrow I am going to give the RV a top to bottom cleaning.

    SoCal, You post the best pictures.  You too, Sahalie!  And Faith!  And Celia!  And....and......ALL of you!!!!!  Thank you all for brightening my day!  It's been a beachy keen day!

    OK........ so when did we start assigning the Cabana Boys to just one beachie-keenie at a time?

    I hardly think this is fair, and I think we should vote on Lisa getting the first choice.

    Maybe we need to check the beach by-laws???

    does anyone know why a duck would choose dog food over duck food?  He has been choosing dog food for the past month and won't touch his duck food.  He seems ok but it just seems weird.

    I am going to check out picasa again because i have it but couldn't post pictures from it.

    Glad to see everyone have a good time on the beach today.

    Saint, tornado alley is what they called the place we lived in Moore, Oklahoma.  I don't know if you heard about or remember the may 3 1999 tornado but thousands of homes and hundreds of people lost their lives.  We were in a closet underneath the stairs and when we walked out the house was gone just the closet we were in stayed.  Both automobiles were destroyed as well as all of our neighbors home.  Houses were on fire, some in the middle of the street, we had other peoples stoves and stuff in our yard.  It was a horrible experience.  We lost everything.  Thank God we had insurance because a lot of people didn't.  Ok, now to more fun stuff.
