Took me an hour to catch up this morning. Then I had a problem reading and making notes with this persistant little baby wanting to sit on my lap and play with my pajama ties. She's looking great and has evidently forgiven me for forcing fruit flavored antibiotics down her throat...at least until her 10: a.m. dose.

Thanks for the BD greetings. I am apparently not on the birthday list due to my own negligence....plus I don't check it either, so unless there's an automatic reminder that goes with it, I'll likely forget everyone else's too!

I think the furniture is in it's final stages, I was moving the end tables and lamps, (the furniture is reallly heavy!) to get lighting and convenience arranged. So now, it looks like this....taken while standing on a hassock....and I didn't fall off and break my leg...notice I'm already cluttering up the room with throws and books...won't be long before it looks like home.........

Futile effort on the spacesaver coffee maker! Went to three stores, no soap. Will try again this morning on my way over to use the Dyson on DIL's dust bunnies at the old house, but I'm not optimistic. She might end up ordering on line. Not enough counter space in the new, until DS gets around to redesigning the kitchen and installing a dishwasher. Lucky he's such a handy fixer upper. We need to dig up her roses and move them, the new owner doesn't want them. (Imagine!!)

mg, that Jenna is surely a cutie, as is Okus's DGD. If we tried to sleep like that they'd have to hire professionals to unwind us afterwards. Isn't it fun to enjoy them for a while and then give them back!! My oldest DD always complained that her boys behaved like angels for me and then reverted to their normal mischief when they got home. I reminded her that I didn't tell them sixteen times about something before I put the hammer down.....and that children are deaf to their parent's voices after the first admonition. Now she is a Grand, and can do it to her son's little one. There is some justice in the world, isn't there?

Maybe we will have some news about DR's father's condition soon.

Carat, Dave said there was already a Canada forum, but I know there are multiple climate conditions up there, like here in the states. Maybe this will start a regional trend. I like the idea of a midwest, or "corn" country forum. It's like Michigan, the UP has an entirely different temperture range from the lower part of the state.
That lilac is a monster! Mine are just about 4 feet high, but they did bloom nicely this year so they are getting their roots established.

Anybody notice Mccool managed to complain about her first name and avoid giving it? Hortense? Gladys? Esmerelda? And she didn't tell us what kind of candles she's making either. C'mon, kid, 'fess up!

Joyous!! Glad to see you back....a comment about senile dementia and Alzheimer's....they are second cousins in the medical area. Alzheimer's generally starts early....senile dementia, late, due to hardening of the arteries. Hard to tell the difference when it's your loved one suffering..and terribly hard on the families in either case.

Also, I'm in the process of retraining my DH for his future retirement. Such as, being home on a weekday does not equal breakfast and/or lunch being served. Last one up makes the bed. If the phone rings, you should answer it if you are closest. Hope it sinks in before he actually retires....!! I'll have to see if lantana is hardy in zone 5, that's an attractive plant, nice shape and flowers to boot! And I love getting new furniture! My entire life was furnished with hand-me-downs or thrift shop bureaus and beds, and it's just grand to be able to buy something that is exactly what you want and not because "it'll do".

Sarv, you need a new computer. What happened to that nice check from your parents? We need pictures and you aren't ever going to do it unless you upgrade!!! Now, when you go to bed tonight, worry about that!! And put down those Oreos!!! LOL

mg, great link to tv without pity, I missed the episode with the shooting, so finally I am caught up! Garlic and onions simmering is one of my favorite kitchen aromas...today is rainy and cool and that will make the house smell wonderful if I start a pasta sauce early.

Maria, I view gambling as equivalent to throwing money down the potty....I hate losing...I don't even view it as a moral issue, I think it's just a waste. The casinos don't make any money on me, I hit the buffet and I think they come out behind....don't get between me and the shrimp!! Nice win for you, save it for our midwest RU, which is looking more and more like a possibility. It sounds like we're thinking Iowa, but that's not solid yet, just a good possibility. When? dunno that either!

Oh boy, I really need to get moving....two hours sitting in front of the
computer, and I'm not even dressed yet......and the coffee pot is empty! DH home again on vacation: reminder...vacation day does not = breakfast.
