    Happy birthday Saint.

    toyful, glad you are feeling better.  So glad you like your blanket.  It was made with love.

    Faith, Oh how i want to Kayak there and swim with the sea cows.  It looks like so much fun. Are you leaving DH in florida???

    Curleqs love the picture you posted, pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. hmmmmm.

    Marejo, so glad you had an uplifting experience praising God with your music.  We did a lot of music praising this morning and tonight at the gathering. 

    Had granddaughter all weekend and has been a really good, uplifting fun weekend.

    Julz, praying for you DIL and son.  Nice birthday song for Saint.

    Hey Jazzy one, missing you.  Did you work hard all weekend?  Try to have a wonderful week.

    Love all of you.  Hugs for all

    Hi EVERYONE....I'm very bad with remembering all names at the same time. A few, no problem.

    Sharon....when did you take that picture of me painting???I didn;t even hear you behind me.Wink

     MJ....glad you liked the concert. I saw Micheal W. Smyth 3 times. It IS an awesome experience.

    Curleqs.....didn't recognize you in your new avatar. I named my Yorkie " Lucy" after you. Ha.

    Whoever had the picture on the Robin......please send him to my state, so we can have spring.

    We had a snow storm today.Up to 7 inches in parts.

    Stay warm or cool, wherever you are.

    Hugs, Artsee.......I'd post pictures but do not know how.

    Good early morning, beachies.

    All packed & ready for departure, but wanted to wave goodby.

    Yes, Spar, DH gets to stay here in paradise for several more weeks.... I need to work out of OH for a while -- and have a fix of my babeez, too. We will reunite in Maryland in a couple of weeks for DD2's final Masters recital.

    Yes, Sharon the collage of the manatee was extraordinary. Spar your collage above was fantastic.

    Checkum & Mary Lou I realize we haven't heard a lot from either one of you lately. Know that I'm keeping you both in the center of my heart.

    Toyful, Curlie & Dream, sending you hugs and prayers.

    Footie you're always in the midst of my prayers...........

    Jazzie one what good deeds do you have in store for today?

    Julz..... so glad that your DIL is headed in the right direction.... praying her meds kick in big-time and offer her some relief. So sorry you didn't get to spoil them all with your love in person. What a glorious song for Saint.

    Artsee & MJ, my two WI sisters.... can't wait till we have a rendez-vous this summer when I'm up in Door County!! Maybe we can even get Saint in on the party.

    Speaking of parties:

    Happy Birthday my friend. Happy Monday Birthday.

    Morning Ladies.....I'm coming in to wish everyone a good Monday.  I'm ready to start my day.  A busy week - but hey, I'm healthy and well, so I thank God.

    Artsee....I've seen Michael W. Smith too a couple times.....yes, it is an awesome experience, isn't it?  Kind of like what Heaven will be like (I hope) - singing and praising God with everyone.  Very cool!

    Sending love and prayers to all my sisters this day.  May God's love hold you close and may you look at others today as brothers and sisters love my God too.....

     Hugs,

    Mary Jo

    Happy Birthday Saint.  Happy day Beachettes.

    Artsee, I hear ya girl.  It was spring yesterday and this morning we're waking up to snow and dare I say mixed in with some freezing rain.  And I have an appt. in the city. Tongue out

    Sending beach hugs to all and especially those who are not feeling the greatest. 

    Coonie, you have lots to shovel today.  Tell DH you can't go in to work, you have to clear the beach for Saint's party.

    Sharon, DH said I could stay home and shovel snow. Even though it's gonna get up to 80 degrees here again todayYell I'll gladly shovel your snow so you can be extra careful out on the roads in to town.

    Special hugs to all who need them today!! (((((((toy, checkum, footie, dream, curlie)))))). Hope you all are feeling better on this Monday morning.

    Ok.......off to shove snow and finish laundry.....clean blinds and ceiling fans! Happy Monday to all of you!!!

    Hello all sunshine beauties of the beach.  wishing all a very good day.  We have a t-ball game tonight.  Just got back from spending a bundle at the grocery store, I swear it gets more expensive every month.  Today it is in the high 60's here with a chance of rain (I wish)  I sure feel like lounging around on the beach but there is work to be done so don't have a lot of time but got to add some color here.

    Hello beachies.......Just got off the treamill for the 2nd time today and now it's bath and book time.  Ahhh, one of my favorite times of the day.

     Curlie...no, I have never seen Petra but have heard of them and do know some of their music.  I have 2 ipods full of Christian music and I love it...love it....love it.  It keeps me connected ....... walking and listening/singing/praying are what I enjoy most about each day.  The music really speaks to my heart and encourages me on this journey called life......Oops....sorry curlie....you only asked one question and I went on a rambling spree.....LOLSmile

    Safe travels to faith too and hugs to EVERYONE of you.

    MJ you are such an inspiration.

    I've made it "home" and had some lovely quality time with my amazing babeez & WB (wonder boy for you new comers.)

    Now to go home and unpack my southern life to get acclimated to my northern one.

    I'm driving a pick up truck (seriously) as my car is with DH in FL. So all that country line dancin' has me in the proper mood. I think I'm gonna drive the truck down to VA in a couple days.......

    Glad to see all of the colors and sparkle at our special beach.

    One last birthday hug to my saint.

    We are home from the t-ball game and it was a hoot, I laughed and clapped until my tummy muscles ached.  They are so cute and some of the little kids like 2 or 3 years old with their parents on the bleachers kept running out on the field wanting to play with the kids.  It was so funny watching parents scrambling for their little ones.  also talked to 3 people I haven't seen in 20 years.  It was quite interesting.  Man, we all have really gotten old and gray.  Seriously, where did all that time go.

    Faith, glad you made it safe to the North, I know you will miss the south though.

    Does anyone have Sahalie's phone number to check and see if she is all right?  I am kind of worried but am hoping she is just up to her arm pits in smoking oysters.

    this looks like some class IV rapids, no kayaking here for me.

    Hello Beach bums..I mean Beachies....much better. Oh gosh, I don't know what picture to paint first. They are all so awesome, thank you all for sharing.

    Faith..I think a get together is a great idea. We'll put you in charge of organizing ok?Laughing The Hippo is histarical and the 'teeny weeny polka dot bikini' on the pooch is the best.

    So Mj how many miles are you walking ...twice. I'm impressed. I only can mannage 1 walk on the treadmill a day. It's not that I don't have the energy, i can't find the time.

    Today after yesterdays storm the trees were sooo beautiful all iced. They glissened in the sun like they were made of glass. They were melting and the ice started falling on cars as you drove in the road. Needless to say that was not a good thing on my new car. Didn't have my camera which I usualy do but didn't think I needed it at the Dr. apt today.

    Well, my friends may God Bless you all and keep you safe from harm and BC.

    Love and hugs, Artsee

    (((((((((((alwayshope))))))))) I guess you're busy making those beautiful afghans. I know so many have been blessed by your talent.
