    Susan, you are so right about the lawns here - we have fences to stop the riding lawn mowers.

    Neesie, I was three years out last Monday.  Yup, the Visa needs a diet!

    Janny,hugs on the endoscopy today.

    Faith, I have lime green on today.  My son played football and many a time we huddled under the umbrella, rain dripping off the rim.  Loved it though.

    Char, Jocelyn just finished playing soccer.  She wants to sign up again.

    DWTS is on so gotta go.

    Hey,angel! Missed you as we were posting abt same time. So sorry that the oil ran out. We will have a good-bye to winter party soon! Hate the cold-and we don't have it like you do in PA. Thinking of you and the family. You are amazing! I was just reading all the things that ocurred in one year that you have dealt with so gracefully. You are amazing and am proud to know you as a friend! Thank you for the kind compliment. My mother is getting better just has taken immunosuppressants for so long that she has low-resistance to illness. I think she is allergic to dr's offices and waiting rms! LOL. You know there is always someone sick at those places and contagious.



    Faith-that was supposed to be equinox in my post. I know better than to edit on the tutti frutti as it all goes together with no spaces! Thinking of your mom-to-be and it is getting nearer and nearer. What a talented daughter to play an oboe in such a neat setting! The operetta sounds great as well.



    Good Night,all,stay warm! Wear a hat,jacket and gloves for the beach stroll.

    Good morning Beach Friends.  Rise and shine.  Up and at 'em.

    Angel -- that really stinks that you ran out of oil.  I hope spring comes for you soon so you won't have to worry about that anymore.

    Iris -- I'm so sorry to hear about your mom.  That's really nice that you got a good deal on Office.  I've been using Office 97 that I got years ago and it did fine on on XP but it just doesn't work on Vista. 

    Faith -- that is great news on the babies.  They'll be here before you know it and you'll be running your legs off to keep up with them in another year.

    Candie -- where are you?  I hope you are having a good week.

    Margaret -- I started out watching DWTS last night but got bored with it.  I hope the ladies are better tonight.  Did you think Penn was good?

    Well, they came to replace my shingle yesterday.  I always like to be here for repairs on my house.  They were going to cut a perfectly new shingle in thirds and cut out the part with the missing tab from the old shingle.  I'm like 'nope, I want the whole shingle replaced.'  You really have to watch people these days.  What is it that nobody wants to do the job the right way?

    Hi to Jan, Amy, Sahalie, and anyone else I forgot.  Hugs from A to Z.

    Surprise song of the day!

    Here i am at the beach while all the rest of the schmucks that live around here are worrying about flash floods.  We've had 5 inches of rain since last night.

    Faith, I live in SW Missouri and there is an Amish community right up the road.

    Iris, my degree is similar to what a librarian/media specialist does.  I create instruction and manage information for adults instead of kids. I bet you have a teaching certificate and everything.

    Margo, how are you measuring 3 years out.  I was dx in jan 05 so I say i am 3 years out. i think you were dx before me.

     Thanks girls, we got heating oil around 10 a.m. Yea!  $535 for 150 gallons!  Yikes, they're robbing us!!!

    Iris, so glad your mom didn't get pneumonia .. I suffer bronchitis a lot and that's no picnic but definitely better to have! How long are you back at the coast? It's amazing that you can post so well on your tutti fruit computi lol

    Jas, people always trying to make an easy buck! Glad you were there to tell them to do your shingle properly. Great song, haven't heard that one in a while

    Susan, that's a lovely spot. Hoping the flooding doesn't get too bad.

    Candie, missing you, how are you and how was your weekend?

    Barb, where are you

    Amy, missing you too

    I'm falling asleep typing lol I'm going to lay Ava down and then do the same myself! I'll pretend I'm basking in the sun like the sea lions!

    Hi Beach bunnies. Yes. I do have 6 CD recordings on my website. They are intended for children in the preschool/kindergarten years. They are also appreciated by older children that have special needs. I've gotta have my DH put a 'deal' on there for fellow BC survivors. I also am author/illustrator for a picture book for children, ages 2 thru 8 or so..... and that includes a CD recording in the back for the song accompaniment.

    Anyhow. I've been thinking for quite a while that I wanted to put a 'discount' for other survivors who've learned of my work thru that avenue. I haven't gotten that accomplished yet. Keep after me & I'll nag DH to put a special promo code on my site.

    Nessie: how was your dinner party? Have you managed to get the kitchen cleaned up after all of your guests?

    CharAngel: glad to hear you've got the heat on again!! You've had a monster of a year. Give yourself lots of credit, darling. Can't even begin to imagine the toll of 4 surgeries. We're all in this together.

    Amy: when is your next chemo? I'm thinking of you.

    Susan: I got to speak @ ALA (American Library Association) a summer ago. It was pretty amazing. I have a delightful fan club amongst librarians.

    Margo: good for you being the cheering squad for all the kids on your team. I know they always play better when there's a cheering section in the stands, whatever their age. And congrats on your 3 yr ann with dx.

    Janny: are you recovered now from the 'scope? Hope so.

    Jaz: We got to see Billy Joel in concert recently. AWESOME.

    Iris: Glad to see you back & keeping us on the straight and narrow. I'm glad that you're able to come to your mom's support. I am on the other end of that equation, but she assures me that she'll be there for me -- in my golden years: LOL.

    Sahalie: with your connections, I figure you're cooking something amazing for us somewhere on a tropical beach somewhere.

    Marsha: how warm is it in Ocala? I'm still wearing my winter coat. It was pouring rain today and about 41 degrees. We got approved today to begin building down your way. Sounds better and better every day!!

    Without a doubt I've probably forgotten someone..... attribute it to my swiss cheese brain! It's amazing what I do remember to do. (I amuse myself daily.)

    Managed to get a knight on a horse, on a bridge into the mural. I really will work hard to figure out how to mount a picture or two once I get it all done. Or someone will have to stop by to help me.

    A quick not sunny hello from MI!  Rainy, cold, foggy and miserable....yuck!

    Scanned above and glad to see that most are doing good..........scopes and treatments and babies and all.

    Faith....just sent you a pm about your CD's and such............and yup, the kitchen is cleaned from last Sunday and ready to go for this Sunday!!

    Char:  Hope that heating oil lasts along time!  We have natural gas and I think we hit 200.00 one time this winter........OUCH!

    Susan:  Did you leave your phone at work again????  Hope you have your life preserver on!!  Are you all okay with the floods.

    Jas:  You're in for the nasty weather too aren't you??

    Iris:  Are you on the small screen again?

    Hey to all that I haven't mentioned.

    NEWS FLASH.........................The Maytag man showed up at my house today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Well, not quite....but the DH went and picked up the NEW maytag dryer.......................and he actually told the appliance guy that he'd probably be back next month to get the washer!!

    So............guess instead of dreaming about our next cruise to the Carribbean...........I'll just pull a lounge chair up in the laundry room and prop my tootsies up on the dryer and pretend!!

    Last Friday my DD decided to get fish from the church.......deja vue.....suddenly I feel like I've already told you this..............stop me if I did!  Anyhow, she told my granddaughter they had to go pick up dinner.  I suppose GD thought she meant a restaurant...pizza, chinese or something. They go into the church and DD orders 3 fish dinners and GD looks at the lady and says, "I'll have a steak!"  DD was looking for something to hide under as the lady patiently tells GD that "it's Friday Dear and we don't have steak on Fridays!"  Gotta love em!    Okay.........I swear I already told this...Dementia is totally setting in.

    Get to go to the Dentist first thing in the morning.....whoopee!  That crown is still hanging on and wiggling all the time...........sure hope it's just the crown that came loose............................DH 'needs me'   BRB

    Back.................had to help(?) get the dryer in the laundry room....

    Iris:  Sure wonder why I have your name after mine?!?!

    Anyhow, hoping the crown is just loose, but have a feeling the tooth underneath is probably broke.................I have terrible teeth and think I hit it when I fell last week!!

    Okay, feeling guilty that I'm sitting in here while DH is doing the machine thing.....so guess I'll go sit in the living room instead!  I know I'm paranoid, but I hate when a new gas appliance gets hooked up cuz I'm always worried it will leak and carbon monoxide will get me.

    Hi

    Enjoyed reading back.

    Charlene, congrats on being "free" for 1 year!! Love that seagull. I like to feed them you know. Running after a 2 yr old takes a lot of energy...I know, been there!! so you have lots of it and probably don't realize it nor where you use it. We can't do everything, that I found out for sure!

    Jas, friends of mine used "Time in a Bottle" for their wedding song in 1974. I have Janis songs on my ipod. I went to see a show a couple of yrs ago about Janis. Written by her sis and bro. Called "Love,Janis". Was so good!!! Oh an I saw Billy Joel about 4 yrs ago with Elton John. Great to see those 2 great pianists on the stage together was awesome. Billy is so young in that video,Jas. Oh my, I am getting old.

    Faith, well, now, is that a boy or what? Being difficult already! I sent an angel to try to push baby Trevor in the right direction. Congrats on you rone yr anniversary! And yes, I wore green yesterday....with the shamrock earrings, bracelet and scarf...I did the the whole nine yards. I love any holiday!

    Margo, congrats on 3 years! My mom always runs the "show", so to speak. Tho sometimes dad gets his way...but not that often.

    Neesie,LOL, I just love your posts. So cool--over 4 years! And glad you got a new dryer...Maytag is a good one....

    Susan, a ride-on-vacuum....now that's a great idea.

    Jan, glad all is ok with you. I had an endoscopy done this past Sept along with a colonoscopy the same time. I agree with Iris, protonix works wonders for me.

    Amy, how are the lil chickees?

    Sahalie, how r u?

    So mom and dad liked the opera. My friend and I walked around in the city while they saw the show and it was such a beautiful day for a walk. The dinner/dance that night was nice. They had a cool Irish band, Irish step dancers and a bag-piper. Corned beef and cabbage was main course and it was so good. Oh, and I won $300.00 in the 50/50!!!! So now what to do with it....spend on me (yeah,right!) pay towards a bill...a Dr. bill...save it for when I am broke which is most of the time? 

    So guess where I am...you got it....a 9-9 day! I did get to my aquacise class last night. I haven't slept right in 2 nights...I hope I can tonight. It sucks when you don't get a good night's sleep,doesn't

    it?

    So glad I got to come to the beach tonight...very relaxing here. I got a call from the pharmacy that will handle my arimidex. So far everything is progressing forward. Will feel better when we seal the deal. ok, my beach-buds...sleep tight, and good dreams to all of you.

    Hugs and prayers,

    Candie

    Just popping in quickly.  Will be back later.

    Susan -- wow, is your house flooded too???!!!!

    Neesie -- yup, we're getting some bad weather too.  Its tornado season here so its expected.

    I just took my dog to the vet for her yearly shots and she has a sore on her leg that won't heal.  Found out it is called a 'lick granuloma' and is a chronic skin condition now.  He gave me a script to get filled for this dog...for phenobarbitol.  Can you believe that?  I've decided to take her to another place for a second opinion.  I can't believe I'm supposed to give a drug like that to a dog!

    good day to visit the beach.   Susan, we're right there with you and all the rain.  Grocery shopped today and stocked up.   We drove around a little bit--could not believe how much water was gushing down our hills.   Barricades were out and ready to be set up in the low-lying areas.   Little "streamlets" that are usually barely wet are raging mini-rivers.   In one place the water was just beginning to roll across the road.   We live up high, so no danger to house flooding--we just won't be able to go anywhere for a day or two.  Think I'll just stay here at the beach for awhile...

    Hugggssssss to all!

    oh, I meant to tell Jas--our dog takes 4 phenobarbitol pills every day to control his epileptic seizures.  He was hit by a truck when he was 1-yr old and has taken the pills for 5 years.   He does well with them.   But, when it comes to our beloved fur-babies, sometimes a second opinion is a good idea!  hugggsssss

    Thanks Junie.  How do you get your dog to take the pills?  I've tried giving my dog Prion pills for her incontinence and finally gave up.  I just can't see trying to get her to take another pill, she absolutely refuses.  She is 12 1/2 years old and starting to develop age related conditions.  This is just the latest.  I looked up the 'lick granuloma' stuff on the internet and its not pretty if you can't get it under control.

    Quick. Some one of you brilliant techno-chicks...... post us a gorgous tropical view!!

    Between the real weather out my window and seeing the reality of your situation Susan, I need a virtual pick-me-up!!

    Last night as we were preparing to head to bed we heard persistant 'dripping' and upon checking it out, my DD has a leak in her big, fancy, HIGH window. This development was what sent her 'over-the-edge.'

    Her tears had a hard time keeping pace with the dripping onto the mini-blinds below: a whole 3 weeks worth of tears since her DH departed. I suppose it was therapeutic on some level.

    She's so uncomfortable these days that she doesn't sleep in any duration what-so-ever. An hour here, an hour there. I give her a lot of credit for not snapping my head off, when I try to "cheer" her up.

    OK. I called the school I was to visit today & put them off for a week. This is not the morning to leave.

    Just got an e-card from my other DD. It's so bouncie/happy/colorful. She sent it just saying: "I love you." Little does she realize that today's my 1st cancerversary. What a happy serendipitous overlap. She's literally never sent one -- other than my birthday. There are angels that tend to the details.

    Candie: so THRILLED for you that the pharmacy support is coming to your aid as per their description. That will allow you to keep the $300 windfall for something special. We can all help you think of ways to make yourself happy. And thanks for designating one of your angels to get Trevor to cooperate.... we'll see who wins that battle of the wills.

    Nessie: glad to hear your kitchen is under control for the next celebration. Hope you got my PM and that it made sense. Congrats on the dryer.... didn't realize they were making a beach model. Does the door have a screen saver with rolling waves? BTW: our washer/dryer is in competition with yours for longevity..... my kids think they're hilarious and should be in a museum, but they work -- so who cares?

    Jaz: Hope your good companion appreciates Junie's cheese suggestion. I'm allergic to the furry friends, but do realize how they bring joy to others.

    CharAngel: if those sea lions could talk..... wonder what they're saying to each other? "Hey, scoot over, that's my rock!"

    Margaret: please flag down the cabana boy and ask him for anything pink with a cute little umbrella in it.

    Amy: think you'd better roll over..... you're looking a bit toastie on the edges.

    Iris: sending you a basket of patience, a bundle of good humor, an extra large bottle of happiness, a picnic blanket tied around some cheer and a trashy novel -- you can decide which to share with your mom and which to keep for yourself.

    Sahalie: looking for your latest brainstorm thru your connections. How about some barely clad, tribal dancers with seriously loud pounding drums?Yeah!! That's what I need. And FIRE. Yes. That would even be better. Buff, native dancers, pulsating drum beat, and thrilling moves with fire. See what you can do. Thanks.

    Perhaps I've spent too much time with my toddler GS and not enough time with my DH..... what do you think? You be the judge.

    Good morning Beach Friends.  Rise and shine and Happy Wednesday.

    Its pouring down rain and I need to drive to the main campus today.  Wish me luck.  Its rained all night but I don't think we have the flooding that Susan has yet.

    Junie-- thanks for the meds advice.  I'm going to give it a try. 

    In honor of the weather, here is today's song.

    Surprise song of the day!

    Now.....where is my boat?!

    Faith .. thank you, I will give myself some credit, as we all need to! Nagging to remind you to tell DH to put the promo on your website for your CD's so we can all check it out! Feeling for your daughter. Alot going on with her and her hormones must be all over the place on top of it. Nice of you to stay home today. Well Happy cancerversary to you today!!! I just love your posts to everyone. You are an awesome writer.

    Neesie aka Grace .. Nope, that heating oil is only one month's supply at 535.00. Each month the price increases! So glad spring is here and we will start using less. Hoping for a warm spring! How did the dentist appt. go? Hope the tooth wasn't broken. Cute story about GD!

    Candie .. Nice to see you back and thanks for the congrats. I thought about you when I posted the seagull! Wow you have luck .. won an island trip before and now $300! I say you keep it for yourself. I know, I usually spend gift money on bills but dammit, we should be able to treat ourselves. You have enough for a nice day spa visit to have the works done!

    Susan .. Oh no, are you flooded? Worried about you, hope you check in today.

    Jasmine .. aww, poor doggie! Good luck with the pill .. cheese is usually a successful way to do it! Oh what a lovely song today ... I haven't heard that one in forever!

    Junie .. That sounds scary with all that water. I feel for those living in the low-lying areas! Stay safe!

    Iris .. Hope everything is going okay, missed seeing a post from you yesterday!  You are such a good writer also and keep us all well informed!

    Sahalie .. I agree with Faith, and I bet you can find what she's looking for! I might go look myself for her! lol

    Aaaaaammmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyy come back!

    Mmmmmaaaaarrrrrrsssshhhhaaaa you too!

    Has anyone seen Barb?

    Janny, how are you today?  Is your throat sore?

    Whoever saw Elton John and Billy Joel together (sorry, my brain is much, I believe it was Candie) .. I'm so envious! I would have Loved to have seen that concert. Elton John is a favorite of mine and Billy Joel is awesome too!

    I feel like I've missed some and I'm sorry .. I can't shake this fatigue, the weather isn't helping any. Glad to have the beach to get away from it, if only in my mind!

    Hi

    A quick drop in while eating my lunch.

    Jas, what a heavy drug to give a dog! I would get a second opinion too.

    Faith, Happy 1st cancerversary. what a great post today. I agree with Charlene that you are an awesome writer!

    Charlene, believe when I tell you the the Mexico trip was the 1st thing I had ever won. So hope I can use the $300.00 fo something fun for myself. I am gonna hold on to it real tight and hope the bills don't win. Yes, it was me who saw Elton and Billy together. Awesome concert!!

    It is a rainy day here today. I see some of my beach buds are in bad weather. Stay safe! I signed up to volunteer at the Komen Race for the Cure here in NJ on May 4th. My cousin,too. She had breast cancer about 7 months before me. She had stage 1, had lumpectomy and did rads. We volunteer at the Avon Walk every year. This is the first at this one as it is the first in Northern NJ. We will be selling their t-shirts and all other merchandise. Her mom (my aunt--my mom's sister) had bc at 42 yrs of age. Had a mastectomy. 5 yrs later another mastectomy. No chemo,no rads. Lived 30 more years and died from bone cancer at 73. What a survivor,huh!!! That's when my cousin and I started volunteering, after she passed away. Lil did we know that we would both be dx'd w/ bc within  a year later!!

    ok, got to get back to work....stay dry,warm and safe,my friends.

    Hugs and prayers,

    Candie

    Oh, what a 'beach' of a day!  Always nice to start it out in the dentist chair! He put me back together, but isn't sounding to optimistic that it will last.....the tooth under the crown was broke.....already had a post in it...so he built the crown up to match it's next door neighbor and put it back on....! We'll see!

    Faith:  First.............Happy one year Cancerversary!!  How perfect that your DD sent you that card today!

    Yes, I just got your pm and I thank you for the info!  Bookmarked the website and will be buzzing over there soon..............the site looks great....and it's 'owner' ain't so bad herself!!

    OMG...I never realized that your DD that is pregnant with the twins, cruddy husband left her...........................All I can say is WOW.

    Candie:  Had to laugh when you asked Susan if the neighbors were making off with my cast off dryer!

    First load is in there right now..................hoping all is okay with the newbie!

    Susan:  Kinda worried about you.................those pics are unreal of the waters............are you high and dry or in the midst of it?  How about Cheri?

    Where is Iris, anyhow????  Iris, are you on vacation somewhere without me?

    Jas:  Poor pooch.........that does seem like some extreme meds.........I usually stick the pill in cheese, also.  Or you can open his mouth and put it far back on his tounge and rub his throat and it'll make him swallow.  Stay safe in the weather!

    Margo:  Seems like you've been way to busy lately..........aren't you going somewhere soon?

    Once again, missing many.........but the brain has gone into 'frozen' mode and I've got to spread my blankie out and catch some rays before they hide under a cloud!!

    Neesie.............Grace!!

    Wow Candie, what a story you have there ... your Aunt survived such a long time, Awesome! .. and then her daughter and you get bc after volunteering in her honor .. gave me chills.  It's so cool that you do that and I bet you're a very well informed patient.  Good for you on the money ... I know it will be hard but hope you can keep it for yourself!   You deserve it!

    Neesie, have you talked to Susan?  Sorry about your tooth, hope it holds!  Let us know how the new dryer drys.  lol

    Faith, waaaaa, you pm'd Neesie your site?  I wanna see too!  Talk about spending too much time around a 2 year old sometimes!  lol

    OK...... I've made you all beg me enough times about my site.....

    I told Nessie in my response PM to her, that I don't ever want anyone here to feel as tho I'm foisting my work on them -- or heaven forbid, taking advantage of the BC connection.

    Having said that, I will get my DH to put the promo code on there. I want to offer my projects to anyone connected to BC at half price. Just my little way of perhaps helping out a fellow sister/granny.

    So please, by all means go to my site: www.rainbowswithinreach.com

    You'll see that my real name is actually Debbie and my songs are all on recordings called 'Debbie's Ditties.' 

    Just received an invitation for some new national work next fall! whoo-hoo.

    My DH just arrived @ DD's with flowers in hand. The man is a gem. I spoke to my younger dau and she had INDEED remembered today was my canncerversary!! (She typcially doesn't remember anything outside of her own world. Apparently, I told her the date several months ago..... blow me away with a beachie breeze.)

    Oh..... Nessie. I have indeed moved in here with my beautiful beach-ball dau, as her DH is away on training assignment with the Air Force. He is to return in about 5 months. He is completing pilot's training. We felt it better for her to stay here -- where I can nag her 24/7, and where she has access to high-risk o.b.

    We love her DH -- just wishing the timing wasn't quite so cruddy. He will have intermitant foreign assignments, but we understand he will typically be here/state-side. He's actually in the Air Guard.

    There's some possibility that he will be allowed to come home at the time of the birth. I keep telling her not to count on it..... but of course it's our prayer that they will allow him this flexibility. [They are able to speak every day on the phone.]

    The window has stopped leaking so she's not quite so tear-prone today.

    CharAngel: anyone in their 40's with a 2 year old, must be particularly loved by the angels.

    Hi Beach Buddies,

    Sorry that I did not post yesterday. My mother was not feeling well and the day just slipped away. However,I did read and was so glad to see so many friends here.



    Neesie-thank you for asking abt me and my mother. Yes,you are right that I came back to 'Tinykeypadville'LOL. It is OK to read but annoying to write on. However,I felt like on a deserted island w/no internet. It is coming here-high speed in this century,too LOL. Kidding-if you had my name next to yours,you better watch as I am prone to craziness! I consider it an honor as you are funny and a terrific person! Your sense-of-humor is so cool! Yep,put those tootsies on the new dryer,pour a cola and deck-out with sunshades,instant beach or bleach as it might be over the washing machine! LOL



    Angel-thanks for asking abt my mother. It is slow-we know the drill on the bronchitis. However,time is helping and strong meds. You are always a cherished friend and great for a nice smile,lovely pics and terrific stories. The heating oil price is horrendous.I am glad that yours was delivered as quickly;spring-yes,we are so ready for warmer,nicer days! Love the beach scenes and the pic of me! What a great job w/me posing and throwing kisses! LOL She does hv my color of eyes and my shape-yes,I am kidding! Best to the lovely girls and Karl.



    Faithandfifty-thank you for those kind and cherished sentiments. My mother and I are very close/only child and it has been hard to watch her sick. However,she had a good dr and meds are helping I will share(maybe-kidding)my basket of goodies. So glad to hear abt your daughter's watery leakages-both human and house hv improved today. Flowers-awesome present as well as your dd's lovely card.

    Great to read the website and with a rainbow(like my name,Iris),I know I will love it. Will check-out site when I return to bigscreen computer. What abt the magical kingdom-what is the most recent addition? I know it must be like an enchanted playland!



    Amy-how are you and the farm/real families? Hope that your week goes well. Did you celebrate the Mon holiday? Not sure if you hv posted as I am behind this week. Miss seeing you!



    Janny-thinking of you and glad your Mon esoph test went well. We knew it would just glad that it is completed. Hope all that crazy rain has not completely flooded areas like Susan's state. I think yours was not as deep flood-wise,right? Thinking of you!



    Junie-great to see you and your area sounds like it was seeing rains as well. Glad you got lots of errands done before the worst hit. Take care!



    Susan-Wow,that is deep water on those roads. Talk abt sharing the road,for real! Hope it is not causing serious flooding in your neighborhood. Thinking of you and thanks for your kind words.



    Margo-hope that you had a great day! You are doing an awesome job w/exercising. Glad that Jacob did well in his game. Jocelyn sounds like a great soccer player,too. You hv the best meals,is it abt time for your cooking club to meet?



    Candie-sounds like you hadf a good St Patrick's Day and winning the money soiunds terrific! Trip to NYC sounded great,too.



    Jasmine-you are right abt being there when work is done as some folks cut corners and rush. I love Jim Croce and so right abt things going quickly when we find those things. Sorry abt your dog as those pills sound annoying,for pets. Pets mean so much to us.



    Marsha-how are you and miss seeing you. I imagine you stay busy and after all those terrific play performances,you deserve a break. Do miss you,though.



    Afraid to scroll-back on the tutti-frutti computi. Hope all of you are ready for a windy stroll. Not that cold-Mar winds;pretty sunset and saw seagulls perched near the pier and one,lone egret waiting for our arrival.



    All the best to all Beach Buddies!

    Iris

    Hi girls, its 8:45 and I'm just sitting down to the computer.  Started back at the gym in the mornings so have no time til evening.

    Jas, I got bored with DWTS and actually fell asleep.  I think Penn is one who will be going home.

    Susan, that three years was three years for my surgery date.  I was dx in Dec 04 and surgery was March of 05.

    Char - $535 for heating oil?  That would hurt.

    Faith, I can't wait to see that mural!

    Neesie - wahoo, new dryer!

    Candie, glad parents had a good time at the opera.

    Ok, out of time.  Back this weekend.
