    Congrats Grandma Foxy!  I found that a baby granddaughter was so much fun!  I had only boys so kind of went crazy shopping when she came along which I'm sure you will too AFTER YOU REST!

    The picture looks like the old car seat covers we used to have on my DH's old truck.  They were very itchy if you sat on them too long! 

    Janis- hope your wait isn't too awful this time.  I'll think positive vibes for you.

    Reesie- hope your getting your rest still and healing well.   Kitty

    Finally got some real rest this afternoon. Thank you all for the well wishes and congrats! Everything seems to be going well. She is so beautiful! Yes, Elimar, it won't be long before I'm fitting her with a new hunting jacket and a cute little pony!

    I can't post pics from my phone, so I think Janis is going to try for me. Thank you Janis!!

    Everyone has said how it feels to be a grandma... I didn't get it, now I do! It is wonderful.

    Congrats Foxy. Ragan Marie is one lucky little girl to have you for a Grandma.

    Made it home in 5 hours. I had to stop for a nap on the way. Within an hour of getting home, my relaxing vacation was over. A co-worker didn't wait for a response from me as to the most up-to-date document and updated an old document. Now I have to combine the 2 into 1 correctly updated document. My printer is on the fritz, so I can't print out the documents to compare. The washing machine isn't agitating. I, however, am agitated enough for both of us. Grrrrrrr It's no big deal. This too shall pass.

    prayrv,  Your clue is almost as annoying as that snarky little laugh.  I am so perplexed now but have, at least, ruled out a vacuum cleaner, iron and anything that could clean a window.

    Okay, I'm guessing how about the cloth you attach to a swiffer.  Kitty

  • Congratulations Foxy! I am so looking forward to becoming a grandma someday....

    I hope you're continuing to get better Reesie.

    My dear husband and I are at Hilton Head. We arrive here this evening....our first visit. Does anyone know of the best places to eat here and their favorite things to do?

    I hope everyone has a blessed, peaceful Sunday!!

    I am sorry, but I cannot figure out how to post a picture on here from an e-mail.  I feel so stoopid.  I am so sorry.  I have been trying for over an hour and I am about half crazy.  I tried reading the tutorial but might as well be Greek.  I have no idea where to even find a URL...I am just lost here.  I have tried copying, cutting, pasting and everything else I can think of.  I have never been computer savvy at all.

    I can only tell you how incredibly gorgeous this little girl is.  I am sure Foxy will get photos to you all soon.  I feel so bad.........Cry

    Congratulations Foxy! I bet she is beautiful and I love the name.

    My little Granddaughter is 4 1/2 and I love her to pieces - she has a place in my heart that when I haven't seen her for a while, just aches. I haven't seen her since July & I'm so overdue to hold her & love on her. We talk on the phone & that helps a little. We're going up early Oct. and I can hardly wait. (she's 7 hours north of me) Cry

    Enjoy the little sweetie!

    All this talk of grandbabies makes me jealous!! It's going to be a long while for me--I hope at least--youngest is 15 and the oldest is a soph at UF. When 1st DS moved into his dorm last month, my youngest DS looks at the girl's names on the door across the hall from his bro's and announces " I don't want to be an uncle yet!" ( the dorm floors went co-ed this year) His older bro has yet to go on a date yet so I'm not hugely concerned about that happening just yet!! Now in my college days, we couldn't have boys on our floors after 9, 10 on weekends. Boy do I feel old!!

    cmblastic, That is funny how different colleges are.  We are about the same age, there were no such restrictions at my college.  Floors were coed.  Bathrooms, however were either male or female.  My son is now in his second year of grad school.  Undergrad he went to the same school as me.  Even the bathrooms were coed when he went.

    Congrat YaYa and good luck with the treatment.  This 3 out of how many?

    Just got home From a great concert.  One of the chiors my DH sings with did a 9/11 memorial concert of patriotic music at the Kimmel Center.  It was a 150 voice chior with full symphony orchestra and some great soloist.  Everything from Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy to the Star spangle Banner.

    Kay- I lived in a girls' dorm, one of 4 at my school at the time. There were co-ed dorms at the time, but my parents weren't too cool about me being that close to that many boys!! Heeheehee. WeOur dorm was connected to the only all boys' dorm on campus. Talk about a bunch of mamas' boys!! And we still managed to have our fun!! But I should say I went to FSU the year after Ted Bundy and that was the first year that dorm front doors were locked on campus. Needless to say, the school was pretty strict about  locking doors and curfews after that whole mess.
