Oh My Gosh, Linda Kay, that must be some shot to have to put you out.
Will be praying hard that it does the trick!

Marti, a most excellent idea with the downed tree limbs. I always say i am going to do something with fallen branches.
LOL, with me tho, it always ends there, lots of dreams but never put into action, sigh. So will be looking forward to seeing your new branched beds!

Betty, ROFLOL, have i got shells! We could make a hundred or more of those cool bird feeders...Steve and Brian are down stairs...Drum roll please, Cleaning, yes cleaning and organizing the tools!!! Yep marking it on the calander even...Anyways, in their uh, purging of stuff, Steve found yet another tote bag of shells, I think we can open our own island of shells we have. So yep, when you come organize me, you can take as many shells as you'ld like...hahaha, actually got a story to tell you! LOL, but i know, it our turn to come to Canada, still working on that too.

How wonderful Suszan found a home for the Bird!! I am sure quite a relief. Skittles was wonderfully cared for and so, so spoiled!
She was even more thrilled when we got home, of course had to make up for a weeks worth of playing...She got a whole lot smarter too. Especially on the it's time to go home, lol open wings and soar away in a quick hurry...

Yes you and LK were right, she loved opening her pressie. It was a bag of Millet, and julia got her this Monkey toy, she was freaked out by it, poor baby was scared to death...But now she beats it up.

Yes, LK we were on vacation. i have to say, it was so relaxing for Steve. He needed that badly. he is going in for knee surgery on Tuesday. he's got a piece of myniscous(lol sp way off) that broke of and has to come out. They will knock him out too. LOLOL, I and the kids can hardley wait to see what that does to him. Last time he was so off the wall, we were in stitches and good thing he doesn't remember and I'll never tell, anyway I am hoping he will no longer be in the pain he is in, can't do stairs too much any more.

So while we were gone, julia took great care of the house and bird. They had a nice New years too. She was nicely surprised we got home by 5 on Sunday. Alissa, got a promotion!! She is now the Lead of the night shift at the nursing facility. So we celebrated that.

OK, story time...
Monday, All i did was laundry and take down a few christmas items, it was nice, Julia took down all the tree decor, so tree is now on deck.
Then Tuesday was a day of full running around. Another drum roll, We finally went and got our pictures taken for passports. Already had forms filled out, lol for almost a year! So went to post office, armed with our Birth certificates. Didn't know they didn't take credit cards. Well the passport guys says oh, your BC's are in too worn, you need to get new ones. They may not accept these. Yikes and yow! So we go to the County office to get new BC's...Steve gets his right away. We had to show our id's so out they come. Mine is such an ordeal.
Sigh, On my drivers Liscense, is Judy L S... The L, is from my maiden name, and Judy is shortened from the yuck, Judith...I changed it all when we got married...So the clerk says, I can't give you this birth certificate because these are two different people!! Huh!!..No it's me I say and explained name change...Nope she would not give me MY birth cert. So luckily we had our Marrige Cert. So she tells DH he can obtain my b cert because he is Judith's husband!! Head shake here...So, now she is working from an old system...Which actually only has my last name....this is because, being born 3 month early, mom didn't have a name chosen, They just called me babe, lol and still do...anyway, So this is now an even bigger problem because now the new system has My given name Judith Mary, which was actually added when we were married! And to prove that it was me I had to get my Baptizmal cert...So now the manager is called, re-explain the whole thing. Since I had my Original BC, they concluded it was me. But my given name was to be added on BC...LOL, hello, wouldn't have it any other way...since that is who i am. So now they are trying to add My name to their computer copy and it wasn't happening! Finally they get it to appear and Steve, not me gets my BC...LOL, this was a full days event! So he goes back with a check book and new copies of BC's. Asked the passport guy if the defferent names would be a problem and he said he didn't think so...Soooo Hopefully 4-6 weeks we will have our passports! LOL, Betty, then we can come visit, Tadah.
So you see, this is why i am such a late and major procrastinating person, i wasn't me until 25 years ago!! ROFLOL, no wonder why i am so mixed up!

Oh, I forgot to tell you too...We had a very nice visit with Deborah in Ga...What a sweetheart she and her Larry are. We stayed with them and it was so delightful to spend time with her. We chat on the phone all the time so doing it in person was even better.

So today I was suppose to work on my kitchen towel swap. I had a great idea, but it didn't work out, so was boohooing to Liz, and yay she helped me out with what i can do...LOL, actually i am copying her very cool idea...So away i get started, wehn DH asks if i can take an hour to help down stairs, grrrr...ok so 3 hours later, I finally stop and then of course, decided, hey...I am going to go say hi to my friends!
So now back i go to work on towels...i actually did get all the materials yesterday, washed and dried everything, got my pattern going and now just to get started on that first "practice" piece...Think once this"judith" person figures it out, Judy can go full steam ahead! hahahaha.

Oh yeah, I did miss someone...Waiing Hello sister DAWN!!! hey wishing you good luck for a better Job search...still got all my feelers out there too...goal for this year for me, getajob.

BlueMoon in Florida!
