    Neesie and Wings,you look great!

    Thank you for sharing the pics with us,Neesie. Wings,thank you for sharing our names/Beach Thread on your shirt. I felt like I was right there with you and was in spirit! Looks like you had great weather and I know a super group that you had fun.



    Have a great evening,everyone!

    Neesie,it did not look too big on my screen-looked terrific!

    safely back 'home' to my futon fun..... so great to get-away, even better to be back.

    Winger: I LOVED seeing your tribute to our beach buds. How incredible to be included from a distance. you're the best!!

    nEEsie: the pics looked perfectly sized to me too..... and the two of you look absolutely GORGOUS!! splendiforous -- if i do say so myself.

    please continue to post more pics as it's such a lift to see the group.

    my DH has started sending me suggestive e-mails regarding foreign countries and beaches..... i seriously miss him & can't wait to have some time together -- wonder if we'll ever leave our room? LOL!! (he's so shy, so this is a first -- the slightly off-color communications -- while he's up north.)

    we're not too old for a second honeymoon are we?

    iris: we could have been seperated at birth.... i, too, make lists and then lose them. or completely forget to read them. is there any hope?

    jasmine: are you at the lake? soaking with a good read? miss you when you're away.

    sahalie: who caught the bouquet? was there seriously awesome dancing to be done? were the waves waving? flower girls? what color were the bridesmaid's dresses? details. details. details.

    i just got an email from my sister -- who professionally photographs weddings and she told of last weekend, where everyone invited brought their favorite cake to share @ the reception & how awesome and festive it felt.

    footie: swigging down your lemonaid and thinking about spiking it with something special and throwing in a little pink umbrella

    amy: sending you soft hugs, a gaggle of daisies tied with a ribbon (yes, i dearly love daisies) and a box of your favorite treats.

    susan: tell us something clever

    ok bunnies. ready to fall asleep on this couch -- gonna allow the cabana boys to hoist me up to the upper deck and serenade me to sleep.....swaying in the gentle beach breeze

    now i can't remember if i told you about seeing this incredible hummingbird this morning -- jagging about a bush-in-bloom, or if i just thought about telling you???? dingy dong. [they named the place Deer Creek, not out of originality, but in a fit of descriptivity]

    hugs to each and all......... is it time for us to start planning our first beach extravaganza?

    Neesie and Wings, I loved the photo - and thanks for including us - I'm glad we were able to keep you company.

    Will be back tomorrow.  I just saw Sex And The City and LOVED it.  I would see it again.  I was laughing so hard in parts that I had tears in my eyes and then I was misty eyed from some of the sentimental parts.  Hubby babysat so my girls, my sis, and two of my girlfriends went and then we went out for dinner and drinks - should have had a cosmo in honor of the SATC girls but we were at a Mexican restaurant so had margaritas.  Go see it.....definitely a chick flick but there were guys there.  Hubby said he'd wait for it to come out on DVD so I know I'll see it again.

    sounds like the perfect evening.

    Blue skies.....record crowd....50,000.....fun times.

    Neesie was sitting here a minute ago......think she went looking for a new cabana boy. LOL

    I had the pleasure of meeting Neesie's DD - what a sweetheart and such a cutie.

    Back later if I can find Neesie.

    Faith, we didn't dress up.  My girls had so much fun though that they want to do this every two months or so; they got along great with my friends.  Would you believe one of my girls has not been to a movie theater in 4 years?

    Wings, great pictures.

    LMBO...........Wings..you took me off guard with that one!!  Funny thing is..my DD and I were standing there at one point and I told her that if Bonnie was around she'd climb up there with me!!  Thanks for the compliment on DD....she is a pretty special lady!

    Margo.....Can you believe that I had not been to a Movie Theatre in probably 7 or 8 years until I took my GD a couple months ago!  I'd love to see Sex in The City...............Maybe I should throw it out there for the MI girls and see if I get any takers!

    Faith and Iris.........Thanks for the 'Kudos' on our walk and pics.........Aren't we just a couple of Hot Looking Babes????????????  All dressed in pink and sweating like crazy!

    Sahalie......Hope the wedding went well and was everything and more than you expected!  (Whispering here.....have the Aliens aka Relatives departed yet????)

    Jaz.......Have you deserted us for the lake again?????????????

    Gotta be missing some and I'm sorry...........DH is grilling Chicken and I've got Squash in the oven..........so time is limited.

    Susan...........That's who I missed!  Hey lady....I called you back Friday.....Tag, you're it!

    Tomorrow is GYN day................can we have a big YUCK...................and for those who know me from a year ago.......I WILL NOT be asking him any questions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hugs to all!

    It's JUNE!

    Can you believe it.

    Wings and Neesie. Incredible pictures and I so wish I was with you.

    You both look fantabulous and what a great sign.

    Wow.

    Made my day.

    The wedding was amazing, beautiful, amazing did I say beautiful.

    What a great time from beginning to end.

    Even dancing last night to ear crunching loud as you can get music.

    The bride was beautiful.

    The nuptials and readings cause for a tear here and there.

    The best food I've ever had at a wedding dinner other than our beach food of course.

    I had salmon on top of flaked potatoes Au gratin and a crunchy Cesar salad that even had the real deal little salty anchovies on it. 

    Ick kind of.

    Margaret, I can't wait to the SATCity. 

    I'm so happy to hear the rave reviews.

    So yesterday I had a grand time.

    Loved being with my family and all the relatives.

    The relatives and assorted out of towner's are all on their way back to where they live.

    It sure helps when they all pitch in and help clean the day after.

    Kinda like all of us here on the beach.

    Loves and cozy evening to each.

    See you on day 2 of the merry month of June.

    *

    I'm off for a sunset walk and glass of white KJ.

    Peace be to all tonight.

    Faith,

    Thank you for your note.

    Special hugs to babies extraordinaries and adorable Wonder Boy.

    XOXO.

    The bridesmades dresses were black with the maid on honor being a most beautiful crimson red dress.

    Each carried roses.

    The brides dress was magnificent as most all brides dresses are.

    Beads, shiney and petite all over front and back. 

    The bride carried a bouquet of red roses.

    Red rose petals were scattered gently down the aisle and also cascaded on the wedding cake.

    The contrasts were perfect.

    Some serious dancing was done later in the evening when the bridal party transferred to a pretty big pub with nice big dance floor.

    The only negative was the DJ kept making the music louder with each song and it became impossible to talk until one of the guests finally told the guy to turn it down.

    When the bride tossed the bouquet it hit the ceiling and fell straight down as a few of the girls dove for it.

    Same with the garter. 

    The poor groom went to flip it out into the crowd of majorly swacked guys and it went "poof" down right in front of them.

    Someone grabbed it then it was worn on several foreheads all through the night.

    It was funny to watch.

    The bride was exhausted by evenings end.

    One of the relatives looked like he was close to a coronary after mucho wines and spirited drinks and tossing his 50ish body around the dance floor so we got him to sit down, drink some agua and patted his brow with a napkin.

    Of course he wanted none of it, grabbed the drink, downed it and slid back out onto the dance floor.

    He survived.

    It was a fantastic time. 

    Beautiful wedding to be sure.

    *

    Shifting gears.

    It's a beautiful morning here on the beach.

    Up and at 'em beach loverlies.

    How about a run up the beach for some jumping jacks and then a light breakfast of fresh baked scones with choco choco chips and some fresh pineapple.

    Maybe a mimosa?

    I could go for that.

    Happy day all.

    OKAY, obviously we all partied too aggressively this past weekend and have not brightened the beach yet today.

    The cabana boys are worried.

    The beach boys are bored.

    The buffet is wilting.

    The waves are watching.

    Mario is getting antsy, here him roar!

    Hi to everyone!

    Sahalie-thank you for sharing the activities as it sounded wonderful! I do not want Mario to think we are not ready for all the afternoon's surprises and beach events. I am so ready in TinyTimville-trying to be patient as I hate computer glitches-don't we get spoiled so fast-faith,I have. Not being able to read and see things-OK,breathing and thinking of the funny events gave me a big smile. I felt like I was right there and so glad you shared. I am sure there were many pics made;all sounds lovely. Glad the dancer was OK-wonder if he had sore muscles next day? Loved the lion-that is my birth sign;so,I will get my body more leoness.



    Neesie-sorry,I did not get on to wish you a good vis w/the gyn I know it will be fine/was as slow as I am. It was the dr who shld hv laughed at the joke-JMO last year. I think that you were making a joke as that is one vis that is interesting to say the least-nec and important,but worth a huge dessert afterwards. Are the garlic bulbs showing progress? Does dh plan on opening a restaurant? That is lots of garlic-you will be safe from creatures,for real.LOL



    Margo-your movie and evening sounded really great. I will be looking for that one as it should be advertized in the city. The food and drink sounded great,too. I bet the kids had a great time,too w/their grandfather. We have your sunny weather today and cooler after a heavy rain/t'storm last night. Hope your Mon goes well.



    Faith-I bet we are cloned-just you are a few yrs younger and more together. I hv learned to just get duplicates of the imp stuff as I was spending so much time looking for "lost" stuff since I travel so much. It has become more fun since I re-prioritized and got rid of useless clutter in my life. I am a collector by nature. I hope you and dh will hv a great trip. Great that your wkend went so smoothly. I hv to share this funny since you mentioned leaving things in cars. This teacher had a strange trunk smell in her new car. So,she takes it in to serv dept after the Thanksgiv holiday. There was her turkey that was defrosted and past the cooking days! The serv dept prob had a chuckle or gag!This woman did not cook and asked for a house w/out a kitchen! Think she got one,anyway and ate out lots.



    Jasmine-missing you and hope that your week is going well.



    Wings-cool signs and thank you,again,for including our Beach Buddies. You and Neesie had great pics. I love that huge pink chair and the awesome designs. Did people sit in it? I am glad that your weather was good and your crowd sounds wonderful. It is so great to see such a huge crowd and so great to share the enthusiasm. Thank you,both,awesome signs just gave me such a great feeling. I could see our names on the BlackBerry screen-terrific! Your summer sounds good and I love your yd. We are in the country here and love the quiet except for the goofy wireless cd that won't get radio signal. Can't hv it all-I know. Hv a great wk!



    Everyone,have a terrific week. Feel like I am skipping friends. My brain is not very alert-prob water-logged here at coast.

    Thanks to wings for being included in the walk.  Thats great and love the pics.

    Neesie-oh my gosh, I do remember the last year appt.  I'm sure your obgyn has heard worse.

    Iris-Saw the alabama symphony at Jax state this weekend and thought of you.  I also saw a play at Jax state on Sunday.

    susan-pillow fight huh?  Sounds like fun.

    Sahalie-glad the wedding went off without any problems.  The colors sounded wonderful.

    Faith-Aww hubby misses you.  Thats so sweet.

    ok gotta run, work is calling.

    Hi to all the beach ladies!

    Glad to see some action here..........thought that 'whale alert' may have been issued again!

    Amy.............been meaning to tell you..............Tucker heading to high school!  What I used to tell some friends with kids younger than mine......"Buckle your Seat Belt Cuz you are in for the ride of your life!"  Hopefully you're feeling better..........I worry about you and about your little bald head!  Do you mind if I ask if you cover or go topless?  I found a store in a little town that has these darling (3 way?) head thingies...........made by the sister of a survivor...........let me know!

    Iris...............You are soooo sweet and I Thank You!  (just pm'd you)......I laughed out loud at the card................way funny and wwaaaaayyyyyyyy true!  Glad to see that you were a blonde too..............that little picture is Adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

    Iris sent me a pic of her as a wee tyke with Blonde Curls!!  

    Sahalie...............Didn't mean to bore the Beach Boys or worry the Cabana Boys!  Wings and I were actively looking for some Cabana Boys at the Walk on Saturday!

    Footprints..........Don't make us worry...........where are you????  Thank you for your kind words and I have pm'd you back!

    Faith.............Don't see a post from you either!  Assuming you're (A)..on Babbeez duty.  (B)..on the road again.  Or (C)..planning and packing for your romantic get away with DH!  Sounds like you two have a wonderful relationship!!

    Margo..........I swear you popped in.............but can't go back and see, so here's wishing you a fantabulous week!

    Wings.....Are you still standing on the Street Corner in Detroit looking for me??????????????????  Did you and DH get to Sterling Heights okay after the walk?  DD and I got home with no problems.........to bad I can't say the same for the drive down!!

    By the way ladies..............I met Mr. Wings on Saturday..............He was probably overwhelmed by me and my mouth............but he was very nice and just for the record..................Not to bad on the eyes either!

    LOL  Iris and Amy.....................I survived the Gyn visit!!!!  No repeats of last year...................."Open mouth and insert Foot"..............yup, I've lived by that my whole life!!

    SUSAN......................you can run but you can't hide from me..............Come out, Come out where ever you are!

    Hope all have a great evening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hugs,

    Neesie 

    Edited to add.................where the Heck is Jaz????

    I have it on authority that the beach boys and cabana boys are extremely happy to see us all on the beach now.

    Neesie,  You did NOT bore the beach boys. 

    The boys were bored cuz you weren't here.

    I don't think we've quite had a Monday on the beach this quiet in many moons.

    Maybe it's the moon?

    It's an agreeable 78 with slight breezes on the beach today.

    Perfect for some . . .

    How about we try a pyramid on water skis?

    happy monday 

    spent the day in Kindergarten today -- end of the year author visit. it's an annual visit & i always look forward to it. incredible teachers & the kiddos are so respectful..... the other side of the city, so up before dawn (trumped the babbeez)

    DH's secretary did morning duty here.

    had a nice long lunch break & popped into a couple of shops in the cute litte burg. whoooo hooooo.  

    Sahalie, loved seeing the lion above -- It's like you were a fly on the wall!! One of my most requested songs is entitled: "Lion Prowl" and was a big hit today, as always. I found a brown & golden tutu at a thrift store ages ago & wrote the song to go with this unique 'mane'. we perform it together in sign language. totally rhythmic, not melody. people even call me "Lion Lady" when out on the circut. Thanks for the vivid description of the wedding. I think I want to get all dressed up and go do something..... anything!

    Iris: you're quite the techno gifted.... and you have all of the most recent gadgets. good for you!! I wouldn't know the first thing about a blackberry. i'm doing well to answer my cell phone without supervision! you could always tutor me.

    nEEsie: sounds like the Wings team had plenty of fun again..... did you get lost or something? i'm trying to piece together bits from the MI thread. so glad that you were able to see everyone. glad your teeth got accomplished in time. and now you've got the doc-deal-done for a while! whooohoo.

    'Wings: for some reason the pic you posted of your pool doesn't 'show up' on my look-see. next time post a picture when the people aren't skinny dipping and maybe it won't get censored by my machine. Glad Mr. Wings was able to participate in the walk again.

    Margo: you've really whet my whistle for SATC..... can't imagine when i'll get outta here long enough to catch it. don't suppose they'll have a movie theatre in aruba??

    Jasmine: we're gonna send the cabana boys with flash lights if you're not back by the time the campfire burns low

    Susan: do you get time off for good behavior?

    Footie: I'm hoping that your appointment w/doc goes as well as possible & you reach a conclusion as to whether to go else where in the future. i can hear your frustration in your posts.... thinking of you

    Amy: sending you some happy sunshine and a glass of lemonaid..... would you like to share some cookie dough with me? actually that's cyber cookie-dough.... i'm attempting to behave myself before the big trip

    tomorrow's DD's 6 week check up w/her surgeon..... hoping she'll be cleared to drive and lift Wonder Boy. it's time to start weaning her from my joyous participation here. they'll be 6 weeks old tomorrow!! my how time flies when you're having fun.

    then Wed is my mamo. i'm apparently too tired to freak out. but it's good to know that i have all of you to hold my hand.

    Evening ladies.  Left early this morning to go on a work event to the Napa Valley so had no time to read today.

    Neesie, no movie theater in 7 or 8 years?  That's a long time.  If you liked the SATC series, you will love the movie.

    Sahalie, the wedding sounded awesome.  Who was it in the family who got married?

    Iris, I may have forgotten some things in my car trunk, but never a turkey!

    Amy, how are you doing?

    Neesie, NOW I remember the obgyn appt last year!  Hope it went ok.  Oh, my dentist appt was fine.

    Footprints/Debbie, good luck tomorrow. 

    Faith, I think I would give up SATC for Aruba, for now anyway.

    I think I missed some but stressed out today hoping I didn't forget anyone in Napa.  Told them if they missed the bus, they'd have to find their own way home.  I'll know tomorrow if anyone got left behind.

    Happy day on the beach all.

    Margaret, Did you have fun over in Napa? 

    Big Simon Fuller wedding there last weekend. 

    I hope your stress is gone and people found their way home.

    Our wedding was awesome.

    I talked with one of my out of town relatives yesterday for almost an hour.

    We are still floating from the wonderful time.

    How is your son doing on the job/apprentice search?

    *

    Footprintswonderfulangel, What you shared in your writing is beautiful and so meaningful.

    Thank you for being you.

    We will all be thinking of you today as your meet with your oncologist and I pray for postive conversation between you both and you come away with a happy heart and good vibes about the next steps.

    *

    Neesie, What can be said about the gyn appt.s. other than we all hate them.

    I kept my appt. last month and figured if the Queen Mother in the good old England of British has to endure them than I guess I can too.

    I kept that thought in my head and got through it.

    The best part was the great news all is just dandy and fine.

    *

    Faith, I can't believe the beach babies are already six weeks old.

    I sure hope Sarah gets an A-1 check up and is feeling better emotionally. 

    What a lucky daughter she is to have you as her Mom.

    And yes we will be peaking in the window as you get your dealymam and we will be chanting postive vibes for the duration.

    If you don't mind, Mario in all his lionable ness will be there to roar you on.

    I love lions too.  I love all animals.

    *

    Did I miss where Jasmine is? 

    Did she go on an adventure without telling us?

    Jasmine, I am missing you.  Where are you.

    Send a pigeon or something with a note so we have contact.

    *

    Iris, Spartan bear.

    Sharing with you my most favorite bears of all.

    *

    Amy, The symphony and play must have been out of this world wonderful.

    How are all the little goats?

    I love seeing any pictures you post of life on your farm.

    We have ducks, geese and chickens and a Rooster who runs the show.

    I could sit for hours and watch them all.

    It's kind of like farm fresh therapy for me.

    *

    Wings, I still am so amazed by your sign and how you did the walk.

    You had us right there with you.

    Thank you so much for that. 

    *

    Susan, Are you with Jasmine?

    Where are you beach babes?

    We are sailing on our dreamcatcher to find you.

    Hi everyone!

    Lost a long BlackBerry post and gave up last night. Thinking of everyone and hoping each of you has a great Tues!



    Sahalie-ready to sail on that beaut boat. That is a great name as I love those dreamcatchers and their beauty. Seems like faith posted a pic of a boat with same name once? I may be nuts-nothing new there. We do hv wildlife here but I think it is Amy with the neat farm animals and trip to see Symphony. I went to college(for two yrs)near Amy.My fam came from there and it is a beautiful area. A little prejudice there-thanks for the indulgence. Glad the guests are still enjoying the fun festivities-memories are the best in going back.



    Faith-with you on the mammo vis. It will be fine;just doing it is the hardest chore. Good that it is checked off list and on to the thinking of beach and Aruba activities. Can't believe six wks already-the twins and WB must be so excited ea time you return from trips. Thnx abt my tech skills;I hv a tech friend/engineer who helps I am determined to learn this stuff and he is patient/runs a business,too-good for both of us. Frustrating when things won't work,though-he will keep on when I am ready to use a hammer! Kidding!



    Neesie-thank you for the PM and I sent you one back. I hoped you would not think I was too goofy just wanted to share another link in "our" fam. I consider it an honor to hv great fam members-just rememb that I am the one that is not quite sane. You got all the good fam traits-Susan,too. Except I will let you keep the garlic. That is plenty for the whole neighborhood,right? I guess there was a reason for so many bulbs.is that good for healthy hearts,too?

    He should be in good shape.



    Footprints-so glad to see you and as Sahalie expressed so nicely,hope that the med vis goes well for you. I am hopeful that the vis is one where you feel that your input was listened to and supported. So frustrating to not feel that we,patients,are being heard. Thinking of you,today.



    Margo-hope that no one was left behind but adults shld hv a watch or time mechanism. That was my fear when teaching-losing a little body who had rather stay at a museum or site than go back to schl. One child(not mine,thankfully) was left from another state on a field trip. I bet that teacher had a rough time-yrs ago before so many legal battles were in the news. So,what was your fave place and was the food good? Hope the stress was over once everyone returned. I know it was fun as you do fun things. Glad your weather was cooperative. Hv a good Tues!



    Amy-would love to see the play and AL Symphony and glad it was good. That is awesome that it was so near you. Hope things go well there and congrats for Tucker. I bet it is hard realizing hgh schl already. He is excited,I know.

    Hi All,

    Just stopping by for a quick Hi.

    I am not use to the day care children being here all day and planning a structured day of events. I miss my ME time.

    I am tuckered out - went to bed at 8:30 last night.

    I miss the beach.... hoping I can catch up soon.

    How long until school starts? LOL

    Hello Hello.  Its hot here in the south and I'm sure I've said it a million times,,I hate summer. 

    Sahalie-Count me in on that ski pyramid.  Believe it or not I have 3 sisters (no brothers) and we were raised all sking probably before we could walk.  I know we were so skinny the ski's would hold us up just by hanging onto them in the water.  Boy those were the days,,, anyway, we used to do pyramids and we thought we were just the greatest.  I was the youngest so I always got to get on top.  If we did it now I would for sure be a base on the bottom.  Come to think of it, there isnt a one of us that could get on top.  Of course not because we are overweight, its just that our bases arent strong enough...of course,,thats what it is, no doubt.  Anyway, love the water and skiing and used to ski for hours and hours.  Now as soon as I get up skiing my arms are killing me and my back hurts and I am done.  I also dont fall near as graceful as I used to.

    Neesie-I am a whatever I feel like kinda girl as far as cover or no cover.  I always seem to have some kind of cover with me but not a wig.  Me and those things dont get along.  they are just soo,,,well, so fake I suppose is the best word.  I feel like I have a dead animal up there.  I go from ballcaps, to visors, to do rags.  Just depends on the mood and I can be quiet moody some times no doubt about it. 

    Jaz-where are you hanging out lately?  Has the sunshine baked you?

    Iris-yes the symphony was very nice.  They are doing 4 weekends of outdoor concerts at Jacksonville.  Come on down and attend one with us. 

    Wings-lol about the comment and school starting. 

    Margo-things here are good.  No complaints or at least not right now.  That can always change though.

    new baby goat born on Sunday.  A stinkin' boy but none the less he is just precious.  I will have to get a picture of him. 

    Farm life is like therapy and I can also sat and watch them forever.

    Finally Beach time!

    Thank you for the kind words on the walk, sign and WingMan. I included my DD - Lacie on my celebration sign in hopes she will never have to make the survivor walk that there will be a cure soon and our daughters will never have to hear those 3 words "you have cancer".

    Iris - I did see women sitting on the pink lifeguard chairs at the walk. I wanted to climb on top and sit awhile but WingMan told me not to. If Neesie would have been around at the time one of us would have been sitting there for sure LOL. Ford company had a sweet looking black Mustang trimmed in pink that I would love to be cruising the country in. My first car was a 68 Mustang and one of my favorites. I'll come pick you in my new Mustang (if I can talk WingMan into buying one - yea right!) and we will go cruising on the beach honking at the beach girls/cabana boys. Where is JaZ when we need to hear her play Mustang Sally for us? 

    Neesie - Somehow I missed your gyn story from last year - you will have to catch me up. WingMan was not overwhelmed by you - he was charmedWink. I was so happy you and DD and the rest of your family made it to the walk. You had us worried for awhile.

    Margo - Did you bring us wine back from Napa?

    Sahalie - The wedding sounded lovely. Was there a champaign fountain at the wedding? I attended a wedding that had a chocolate fountain instead of cake. I wanted to just stick my head under the fountain and lick away. lol

    FPAngel - Hope Dr. visit went well for you.

    Amy - Post those pictures soon of your new baby. It will give me an excuse to go online and show the daycare children some cute animal pictures. You go ahead and take top position on the ski pyramid sounds like you have the experience.

    Susan - How is the Walmart training going? My son could use you at the Walmart store where he is employed at. teehee

    Faith - Happy sundress shopping. Will be thinking of you. Great news on DD check up. Six weeks already?

    JaZ - Hope your week is going well for you. Come out and play. Iris and I want to hear Mustang Sally soon.

    Hugs

    Wings

    Last month when I was staying in Indy for that quick hop overnight, they put me up in an 'up-scale' hotel..... how do you know you're in an up-scale hotel????? There's an enormous chocolate fountain positioned next to the elevator!! I kid you not!!

    It was surrounded by stacks of Sahalie's fresh pineapple, strawberries -- the whole nine yards. It was sooooooooo funny to see those of us from the 'early childhood' world gourging ourselves while awaiting the elevator. Picture nEEsie's image above, w/o the holiday hat & everyone wearing teacher t-shirts.

    Wings: glad to hear that the kiddos are keeping you active. LOL. Remember, this was gonna be our season of more activity/exercise. I seem to recall you making that suggestion.

    Amy: your skiing escapades  brought back all kinds of happy memories of summers at the lake. I had an uncle that taught us all to ski -- one of the most patient people on the planet. In high school there were several of us that skiied ourselves exhausted on weekends. Big deal to drive the boat -- since none of us had our driver's licenses at the time!

    Sahalie: Thanks for holding my hand tomorrow..... just knowing that you're there peeking in the window will offer me encouragement. My DH got back tonight -- came over here for dinner & offered to go in person, but I think I can brave the machine with the moral support of our beaching breathern.

    Susan: are you working too hard? Or have you kidnapped Jasmine and departed for an uncharted island somewhere? Finally looked up Aruba on google and am starting to get psyched.

    nEEsie: what kind of shannanigans have you got in store for us? Or are you trying to stay out of trouble these days?

    Margo: I got to have several days in Napa Valley in Dec for a conference there. Stayed in the home of a gal I met here in the chatline. Gorgous hillsides. We had an evening in Oakland @ a jazz club..... too bad we didn't have you & Sahalie join us, it was awesome.... at a Japanese restaurant, Yoshi's.

    Footie: thinking of you tonight. Pop in and let us know how things went.

    Iris: I'm really gonna attempt to behave myself for the next few weeks -- and then beyond, as well. I have appointed you to eat all ice cream and cookies that I would have chosen. See what a good friend I am? I've clocked in on the thread here where gals are working to curb their size. I've decided I need support!!

    We had an erruption tonight. Trevor did his best to imitate a volcano-in-action. I'm sure I've seen Discovery Channel footage, with less volumn of spewingness. DD says she's gonna have nightmeres about that one. Where'd that come from?

    Love and hugs froms hiccup central.
