So sad to hear about Isabella, she was such a wonderful story teller about her life with her dogs there on the farm. I will miss hearing of her adventures with the Gypsies and her neighbors as well as her daily life there on her farm. At least she is no longer in pain. Rest in peace Isabella. Love, AJ
Thanks 3jays for letting us know. Did you find out what her real name was? Just curious.

AJ, I too am curious about Isabella's real name. We know York wasn't her real last name and now I'm wondering about her first also. Anyhow, she was Isabella to us and I think it suited her. I miss her and have been so down about her death.
Nancy, good to see you. I hope your pain in your hands responds soon to the hot / cold applications you're doing. I'm sure that's miserable since we use our hands constantly. And FYI, I'm wet, hot, and not often sane so I'm not fulfilling any of your wishes for us!
We kept DGS#1 today and DH took him out to the airport this morning, his favorite thing to do. This time he got to see the gas trucks, talk to a pilot, and got his "very own wings" pin. DH gets such a treat hearing him give the pilot flight instructions in his 4 year old way.
Countdown continues for DGD--3 weeks to go.
Hugs to everybody,
Kathy

I just wish I had digital photography sixty years ago...I wasted all those years because film and developing was just too expensive..Ihad all the equipment and lenses but now they are history and I love my camera with no extra lenses...remember the days when we had to wait unitl we finished the roll of film before we got it developed and then we had the Christmas photos in July...

Lol I remember those days trying to use up the film. I have boxes and boxes of photos. The kids would take pictures of anything.
My DD called today in tears, she and her BF have broken up. I tried to soothe her,but at her age it feels like the end of the world.
Amazing how a few years puts life experiences into perspective.0 -
Lisa I hear you on the old fahioned cameras! I too wasted years and a lot of money developing and printing photographs including the duds......lol. Love the digital age and what these little hand sized cameras can do!
Nancy it's always hard to help DD's when romances go west as it's always the end of the world until the next one. The only thing you can do is be an ear and a shoulder until the angst has passed.
Finally stuck my head outside today as I had to go food shopping.....why do we have to eat?...Oh yeah, so we can live.....bummer about that.....hahahaha! I did bag a couple of bargans ......I actually can't believe my luck! I parked outside a dept. store in order to get to the bank and on the way back to the car I noticed a rack outside the doors that had a sign saying that everything on the rack was $10....too good to walk away from so I went to have a look. I found two cardigans in my size (unbelievable as there is never anything in my size) and they were in colours that I wear......Yippeeeeee! two new cardies for $20 now that is a bargain if ever I saw one.
Have a great day all!
Love n hugs. Chrissy

OK, I'm going to brag on my son right now.
First the background - since he went to a yeshiva (religious educational institution) that didn't offer secular studies, he officially doesn't have a high school diploma. The army offers courses for diploma completion to soldiers who get a recommendation from their commander. My son received a recommendation and has been studying for the past 5 months. He just finished the course and was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for being the top student in his group (that's out of about 60 soldiers). So I am one proud mama!
Leah
P.S. Could someone please explain to me how to post a picture from Facebook to here so I can continue my brag with an illustration?

Leah, what an accomplishment for your son! You have every right to brag about him, too, doing it all within 5 months! Congrats to him and you too. I'm not the one to answer your question on posting FB photos, but the one time I did it I pulled up this site, went to the thread I wanted, and minimized it. Then went to FB, got the photo, and right clicked on it and minimized FB. Back to bco, right clicked (I think) and it posted. It was absolutely HUGE and I didn't know how to get it smaller.

Oh Leah! Congratulations to you and your son! What a wonderful achievement and to complete it in 5 months is really amazing.........Mazaltov!
As. Kathy said, bring up BCO and minimise then go to FB. Find the photo you want, right click then left click on 'copy URL'. Then back to BCO. In the posting box there is a little tree in the top line. Right click on it........another little box will open. In the top line of that box right click. Then scroll down to 'paste' and then left click. Scroll to the bottom of the box and there you will find the word 'insert'............left click on that and your picture should appear. Good luck!
Love n hugs. Chrissy0 -
Leah you are allowed to brag. Just like when my DD completed her Doctorate recently. The other have said how to post pictures so we are waiting.
Today I managed to really upset the main computer. It had a trojan virus which I got rid of but then trying to block cookies I did something wrong. Luckily a friend managed to sort it out but I have lost a bit of stuff, mainly settings which I will have to sort out as i need them.
Hope you are al well.

Oh Aly what a pain! Don't you just hate those things? Hope you get the settings sorted soon.
Going to cook tea as DH is finally home and hungry .
Love n hugs. Chrissy0 -
Chrissy and Leah, I was using Firefox and it had nothing about copy URL, just copy. Maybe that's why mine turned out sooo big.
Trojan viruses horrify me, Alyson! Glad you got it sorted out.
DD had her weekly dr appointment today and all is well. Contrary to what she thought, the baby has not "dropped" but is at least head down. She brought her dress by for me to see for the wedding she's supposed to be in on Aug. 10 and it's black. Bridesmaids wearing black for an outdoor wedding in August in Charlotte--they'll all roast! Oh well, with her due date Aug. 17 her wedding participation remains to be seen.
Hope everyone's having a good week so far.

Hugs Chrissy. Just too many going.
Was watching TV and they showed places around you in Australian houses.
Think I have the computer working now.

So sorry Alyson. Hugs.

Alyson, I too am sorry about your friend. There have been far too many deaths lately, and it's hard.
I meant to ask DIL how I copied and pasted on Firefox today but forgot. It was control c and control something else, not p, or the other way around. Oh well, it worked that one time. We kept 7 month old DGS #2 twice today, this morning while DIL took DGS#1 to his swimming lesson, and again this evening when she went to the gym to do training for the half marathon run she's doing in December. DS is working late or he'd keep him. Now, DGS#2's crawling and on some solids, and was fun to feed.
We have a wedding to go to Saturday, our nephew's. Haven't yet thought of a thing to wear, but at least it's not formal so I'm figuring just church-type clothes. Of course, the forecast is for rain!

Kathy, try control C then control V

Wren, what does that do?

Control C = Copy, Contorl V = Paste.........they are keyboard smart keys.

Chrissy,
I love reading your posts. I have been wondering what you meant when you said your husband was home and you were going to cook the tea. Do you actually mean brew the tea or is it another way of saying cook the dinner? I have never been to your country but love that we experience the same things even though we are so far from each other.
Love hearing of other cultures so also tell me what you cooked for his tea
Hugs, Marianne
