    ((((((((((Raj)))))))))

    I'm glad that you are safe. I heard the news report while I was sitting in the Chicago airport & thought of you.

    I am 'home' to our wonderful get-away by the shore. It's cool tonight. Especially compared to the 103 degrees of Vegas. I have my fleece wrapped around me & hubby just turned on the heat. LOL.

    I had a window seat on the way out of Nevada and I sat there like a kid in a candy shop. The view was amazing as the sun was rising over the mountains, red-rock and snaking rivers. It was just glorious.

    It's drizzling here in our haven, but our newly replanted hostas look look sooooooo happy. They're blooming right now and the fern are lush.

    Sleep well my beachies. That's my plan.

    Raj, I hate that you have to live with that fear. I pray for your safety.

    Faith, glad you're home among your comfy things and especially DH.

    We have a wedding tomorrow (which is why I'm up late tonight, no work tomorrow) so won't be online till Sat night. Hope you can all get through a Friday without my wit and banter :)  Ha!

    Raj, I heard that on the news the other day and got goosebumps. I, too, hate violence. My heart goes out to your country. It's so unnecessary to add yet more grief to an already stressed life......

    Faith, I press my nose to the glass going to Vegas too. All I can think of is what a great quilt it would make!! I will do it oneday. I'm slowly getting back into my crafting. I know you're probably off on your bike right now, starting your summer trekking, but remember the sun screen! I find the sun particularly hot this year!!!!

    I ain't working blondie!!! Woo hoo!

    Gee, it's tough trying to fill in for Marlegal's wit, someone else will have to do the wisdom part!

    Today was a lovely day of doing virtually nothing but reading email that had accumulated and attempting to catch my breath a bit.

    We took a walk around the 'big block' (about an hour trip) walking the marina and seeing the sailboats setting off for a day of sun.

    Went back down this afternoon to watch the polar bear club plunge (or get pushed) into the cold water. I seemed to have gotten a tad scorched on the top of my legs, Barbe. Your warning came after the pinkness found it's way. I must have dozed off while the shade shifted.

    LOL. I just wrote that I look forward to church tomorrow. LOL.

    Time to edit before hitting submit.

    I obviously have no idea what day it is...............

    Raj, glad to see your happy face!!!

    Hugs up and down the beach.

    Barbe, if it is below 82, I don't go in. I am a total wuss. I used to live in Erie PA and did Lake Erie when I was a kid. Fine then but NO WAY now.

    Lisa, I take about 10 to 20 every night!! LOL.

    How many hundred do you need?

    Tonight I was running about 5 minutes late and missed a glorious shot. A boy on a bike 'rode' into my perfect frame and then the sun literally went plop as the boat went gliding on by.

    It was pretty funny.

    Here's our grand-daughter on FB just now:

    was at a wedding last night and it got me all family/wedding/pictures minded, so I was looking through dd's wedding pics online again today.  came across this shot from sunset the night of their rehearsal dinner (to those who weren't in this thread yet, they got married in key west, florida).  Lisa, you got me thinking about it when you mentioned sunsets...I just love this shot :)
