Morning, almost up before you Dianne, lordy you are an early riser, grandma used to say 'did you pee the bed and had to get out of it at this ungodly hour?' sometimes our conversations bring back memories and it's enjoyable to go back in time.

I'm with Dianne, sure would not want to be a teen these days, I thank the Lord both Greg and Jeff keep their boys so active that they haven't seemed to sway towards groups, mouthing and the likes...let's hope it continues.

Mary, I think back, I got married at 17 working and now I see some kids at that age and wonder if I was more mature or just not thinking! Had to laugh at your description of beef jerky and hubby, your along with Crissy's..omg, Mary you almost described "ME" too old to get checked and besides if I did go I'd have to bring my entire family with me because we are all the same, never stop and try and talk me out of something if I want to do something, not going to that's for sure (my downfall) lol Love the story about the pee'ing dog, showed the bragger what he thought.

Tubby, been waiting for my 'word of the day' how are you, haven't seen you post in a few days, starting to fret once again.

Debbie, duct tape might work but think putting a sleeping pill in his coffee might do same. Doesn't he know the importance of taking it easy for awhile to let the healing happen? MEN!

Oh Crissy, sure hope you get your meds renewed and ease the coughing..my dad had chronic lung problems and I'd call to gab on the telephone, he'd be fine but the minute he'd start to talk the coughing would start, it got where he wouldn't go anywhere and barely talk because he felt he was annoying everyone..poor soul!
How's work going, you must find it different in an office all your own.

I'm looking downstairs to see where I'll put my office IF the telephones do come here and have decided that as soon as I hear they are Bernie will come and drywall, put ceiling and doors on the room where my computer and sewing table is with a lighting system..wish I knew, Bernie was free this week, would have kept him busy..called to see if the 2nd window is in yet, know they said about 3 to 4 weeks but it doesn't hurt to check, that also might have been a good project for him...you watch, I'll be having him here do office and windows at same time, he also has lung problems and can't really work for long periods of time, should really just go ahead and do the office regardless of if it will be needed, will just mean another corner cleaned.

Bev, any news on the homefront? Scotty keeping an eye on you?

Was thinking of Gillian last night, would imagine they are back home or will be this week, wonder if they are moving to a more southern town so hubby can teach?

Dianne, took them to the Ex a couple of years ago, had a great time, Ex has changed a lot but we all had a great day especially going to the Feast with the Knights of the Round table, that really made their day. Last year it was a trip to Washington D.C. for nearly a week, am hoping to get their schedule and book the watertheme indoor park hotel in Niagara on the Lake in late fall, with hockey and schedules it's not easy to find a date but am working on it.

LindaKay, sure am hoping that by the time I get to work this morning you'll have news and we'll have a healthy baby. How would she feel if something were to happen to the child because she refused to go to the hospital, something I wouldn't want to live with. Maybe we are too old fashion, no, maybe we aren't up to the in thing and worry too much..included her in my morning prayers as well.

Barb, you've been busy? Sewing I would imagine, thought of you on my way home last night, on one of the side concessions there was a tree almost orange in color, on the hilltop overlooking the lake you could see that the tree line was no longer bright green but turning in color. Will try and take a photo this morning on my way to work.

Susan, what did you get done your first work day off? Bet you managed to keep busy and while practising you solo..this Sunday isn't it?

Debbie, mom want to go to Buffalo in September, couple of weeks away (promised I would for her birthday) I'm almost positive that Barnes and Noble is in same mall as the Christmas Tree Store right so will check it out then. I'm just not the greatest with technology and gadgets so unless it's idiot proof it's not for me..you've said how the font can be enlarged so that's why I'm thinking about getting one. Gee Whiz, birthday is gone, Mothers Day gone, guess it will have to be a treat Betty purchase. Maybe I can take you out for breakfast that weekend, know you aren't far from my favorite restaurant.

I'm in a couple of 'swaps' so maybe this weekend I'll get my act together so they will be packaged and ready to ship from your side of the border..seems to work well that way.

Judy, you still working with Steve or did you get lost in the garden?

Last night I didn't even have supper, walked in, walked downstairs and got the box where I had rag squares pinned together from all the rag quilt left over blocks from which I'm doing Logan, my ex-daughter-in-laws little boy, guess he's going on 3 now, sewed panels together and in the next hour I should be able to finish and have it in the washer/dryer..trying to rid myself of unfinished projects..
