Best/ worse/ ? did you learn today? #113 visit with friends!

Good Morning,

Betty, Will definately keep your friend in my prayers.
I'm glad your friend has you to confide and discuss things over. I hope that help can be found quickly.

Wonderhug!! How nice to see you post. My goodness, glad to hear the renovations are almost complete. LOL, I know living through all that can be a menace, but oh how nice when it is all done and re-decorated! Wow, I am anxious to see your hard work in the quilt, quite the undertaking to hand stitch.

Debbie, was giggling at the brain fart, lol I get those lots especially when someone asks what kind of flower such and such is, for the life of me the name will just disappear from my mind at the time...geesh, some garner I am! lolol. I hope all goes well with the Sleep clinic thing, oh man, just hate when I can't sleep.

Liz, Oh my gosh, what an episode with the co-worker. Just think you'll get a good rest from that when you come here! LOL, right after you tell me all about it!! Heheh, I can just picture that squirell sitting inside the feeder gobbling all the food, too funny.

Crissy, how are ya today? Had a good chuckle over the opposites, and the marrying the Dr. I always tell Breenie she has to marry someone rich, she has very expensive taste...lol

Hey Tubby, thanks for the morning smiles too.

Bev, Thanks...Little clown is awsom! Cute name too.

Sooo, The girls and I went to by Skittles some toys, lol uh not too spoiled already! Ended up spending 60.00, well there went all my allowence, roflol.

Ok, I was trying all afternoon yesterday to post some pictures! Geesh everytime sat down someone was calling mom, momm. Sometimes I just want to change my name,lol. So yay, everyone back to some sort of routine, tadah!
Finally the weather is good, so planning on working outside. Then later, I am headed for the John Hancock, metting Steve and his Clients for Dinner! Wow, i can get used to being taken out for dinner. Steve is on the Tale end of his latest unit there. His clients live in California, They were here for the Fourth of July weekend seeing his work for the first time! OMG, talk about being proud and happy They left a 1.5 minute message just raving at how spectacular his work is!! Can you see the big cheesey grin on my face. Not only that, but the main engineer guy is moving and has told Steve he should go for his job! So, it's definatley something to think about, I told him he should, i mean it's worth a shot anyway. So we shall see...

And here is Skittles in his new digs!

Must be 'Support a Friend week' Liz

LLOl, Had to teach him where his water was, then once he figured it out he decided he needed to wash his face!
So cute.

After a full belly and face washing, Breenie decide to play with him, but nope he got comfy in her lap and fell fast a sleep, woke up when I come over to coo about it.

Oh and he enjoys sitting around on top of his cage...
...We have to be very careful tho, as he is learning to fly at the most instant of times, had to turn the fans off!

Oh Judy Skittles is adorable...omg look at the toys, nothing like being spoilt...I'd be fretting had I seen him on Breenie's lap, look like a dead bird..

Judy/Judy you just reminded me of my favorite joke as a child..of course it won't come over in type as it is when you are pretending you've a lisp when talking...

Mother sends her boy to the pet store for bird seed..Johnny goes in sand says "can I have some seed for my bird please?" (say it with a lisp and hardly understandable)..the salesclerk says, "I'm sorry I can't understand you, go home and practice your speech and come back when I'll be able to understand you"..so the young boy went home and came back and asked the sales clerk the same thing..."can I have some seed for my bird please?" again the sales clerk tells him to go home, practice his speech and when he can speak clearly to come back..this goes on for about a week, this one day he returns, speaking more clearly, says to the same salesclerk...."can I have some seed please for my DEAD bird" ouch....guess the poor little thing hadn't been fed in a week...ok/ok it's a kid joke, but remember telling everyone and laughing away..thought it was just sooo cute...

Liz no seeds yet..Just order them.
Cramp keeped me up 2.30..right hand ring finger Grrrrrrr
Begay & white cotton glove work finally
Shirley saw glove this morning..Smile cooked her head.whats up..
I said I was in Mourning for Michael...
She slapped me on back of head...Huuuuummmm


Debbie Shirley wants to go with you to Cracker Barrell..LOL
She thinks it's a shopping center..LOl

Judy I'm sure you'll enjoy Skittles



Betty hope your friends DH gets help..Scary

Liz, sorry to hear about your boss, I hope things will get straightened out. Tough as it is, glad she has you to rely on.

Yep, Support your friends week sounds about right.

Speaking of which, Betty, wanted to tell you...My niece did not Show up! Said she would but in the end I never saw her.
Julia did run into her at the Casino, gave her a big hug hello. I was real proud of her for letting the issue go, as i told you, I had a talk about letting some things go and it's just time...For me tho, well there is always another time.
Anthony did real well too, got along with everyone. Only one person tried to start with him but he shrugged it off and walked a way, Good, I was glad to see that too. He had an excellent time other then that...LOL, Julia and he even learn about gambling, Won a good amount and then donated it right back, well I guess they gotta learn these things.

Here is a cute picture!
Baby D in the Stroller, just handsome for the wedding. And the little princess is Josephine. They are my youngest niece and nephew.

OK, now that I've had my minute of insanity..

My friend said she called her daughter last night and they talked for well over an hour, calmed her down...her hubby was sleeping when she got home, she slept on the couch as not to disturb him..this morning he had court duty, he heard him moving around the house and pretended to be in a deep sleep..he left her a message about 8:30 this morning on the telephone recorder saying "honey, I'm in court for better part of the morning, will call you when I get out...love you!" she called her brother who is a calming influence in her life, said she felt better, told me that if he calls her other daughter Jenny who'se dealing with a lot of trauma right now, that out he goes or she would go..

But she says she has to be strong, not right to leave him when he's had a breakdown either...sooo told her my doors are always open (meaning both you are always welcome and yes, I never lock the doors) so just come...

Giggling at your Joke Betty...Like you, kinda thought the same when i saw him sleeping like that...Had to touch him to be sure, because eerily thats how feathers looked, so sad...Anyway, soon as i touched him his little eye popped open, being a baby he takes a lot of little naps.

Here is the Bride and Groom.

Tubby I have to learn to put my coffee down when you are posting..I've just spit it right across the keyboard..you are terrible..lol..but I like it!!! Shirley sure has her hands full with you..always exciting for sure...

Judy aren't they the cutest...I'm proud of you girl, you had all these worries and none of them came to pass..give Anthony a hug, not easy to be a stranger amid an entire family and when picked on just walk away..good for him, shows you what he's made of...

Mom just called, said she was trying to use that rug cleaner I got her back a few weeks ago, said she plugged it in and nothing happens...she no sooner got it out of her mouth when she says...it's steeming, got to go...mothers, got to love them...

Laura, you are sounding much stronger..the old Laura is emerging...ooops be right back

Betty, i am glad you heard from your Friend, little calming to know he is in court...
...Not sure there is much I can say, but my friend know we are here for you.

Thanks Tubby. Sorry to hear of the cramped finger! My but you treading danger taking Shirley to Cracker Barell! lol, it is sort f of mini mall, very cool stuff...I think everyone needs to go at least once!

Hey Bev, this is for you! I took this at my friends garden...lol relearned the art of patients.

Here is the boys Steve and Johnny, geesh, just had to go for a ride!

Then, Cake cutting time!
Oh my was it delicious too...Char's Aunti made it.

LOL, she was meaning because I will be making al kinds of neat things for a grandchild, lolol...uhm I can wait!

That's a great picture Judy! Cute babies too!!

Betty I am so sorry about your friend and her husband! I hope counseling helps, sometimes it helps to just get someone from the outside to say something also.

Love the joke!

Laura you are getting more hugs than I bet you know what to do with :) You want to talk family drama, I'm going to send you a dmail about my drama over the 4th of July weekend.

Judy, I can't believe how much you and your brother look alike..your elder sister I see it in the eyes, but boy oh boy he looks like you...

Now I'm laughing, know there is twins in your family..don't tell me he's your twin????? that's something I should know!!!!

Lets see, Oh Steve and I went to the Cemetary to make my rounds.
...Shawn had talked of having a stone made and put on Mumma's site, just so we would have a place to remember Carol, when we visit mom, and a very nice one at that!

Judy, she's right you'll make a wonderful grandma...love Steve and your brother on the bikes...Steve couldn't bring his could he???? does he still have his neck coolant...

OMG Judy is it 3 years already, that's about the time the 2 of us got to be friends....nice tribute to Carol...bear paws represent her as Bear...

I can see by all the photo's you've certainly enjoyed yourself..weather looks incredible..nothing like having family around when all is well in their world...

Crissy, between you all, you have me laughing 1/2 the day...

Judy, checking my route inbetween msn/DG, I'm almost at your doorstep .. not sure if I'll have time to drop in but you just never know...

LOL, Betty...
No I don't have a twin! Johnny and i have differrent dads, but my you think? Well i guess, now that he is older we do look a like.
Sylvia and I were the closest in "twin" looks, lol we were quite the pair too, People always did double takes when we were together.
Ginni and Carol shared the same twin look, they look exactly like Granny...I think now with age I look just like Mom, and Gypsy is always saying i am mini ma, same mannerisms too!

Oh My Gosh, How exciting, you know...I am excited to Arm Wrap you up if you are able to come!!
Yes, We all have our Coolants, haven't had the need for them yet.
And, no Steve didn't bring his bike, the one he was riding is Char's. Then he kept sayig he wished he woud have rented a trailor...snooze and loose, lol.

Speaking of Bikes, yay He sold his kawasaki last night! whew one more vehicle to sell and we are back on track and I get my parking spot back...LOL, been parking in front of my own house!! Haha.

Nice feeling isn't it to be in a home that just been all renovated..the color combination sounds wonderful...

Can't wait for you to get a camera and show us some photo's..

I'll keep you informed of my travel plans..getting excited but am waiting for Suzanne to tell me when..I've offered to change by 1 week so she could spend time with her son but she hasn't got back to me...have to give her a nudge...NEED to know...lol

Just gabbing to Sharon (sister) said I was going out tonight shopping for all the decorating outfits/toys for the diaper cake..she told me her back was giving her trouble and she hadn't gone out..wondered if she gave me $100. towards the decorating could we give it together...I've another bag full of goodies which I'll give on my own, so told her yes...

OH MY GOSH...TUBBY!!!
I just got the joke, I am sitting here laughing, wishing I can smack you in the head too!

LOL Judy!! I hate it when that happens!

Isn't "Tubby" terribly Judy...but we love him...lol

Afternoon all.........Tubby does keep us on our toes doesn't he......

Betty, glad your friend has checked in.....I really do hope they get him some help....it is such a dangerous situation....will keep them in my prayers.......

Judy, Love skittles...he is so cute..........great family pictures.

Not much going on today, have Sage for now....

Thanks Liz, we are just south of Seattle, my cousins are in Central Oklahoma....

Well, need to figure out what the short one is having for lunch......

Waving to all I have missed....

Yes, he does. Good thing though, someone has to keep us all in tact!

Trisha are you going to Central OK? :) :) :)

No Crissy, I sure hope not!!! Let me explain before anyone takes offense at that comment...in the past 6 to 8 years the only time I have made it back to Oklahoma is for funerals....don't want to go back under those circumstances! Someday I would like to just go back for visit.

Trisha same with family reunions here, they don't happen except at weddings and funerals...weddings are few and far between, funerals much too often..

What are you and Sage getting into today?

Yay I have a pregnant tomato plant...LOL
You know first one then a dozen..


Smile



The Black Bra

I had lunch with 2 of my unmarried friends. One is
engaged,one is a mistress, and of course I have been married for 20+
years.

We were chatting about our relationships and decided to amaze our
men by wearing a black leather bra, stiletto heels and a mask over our
eyes. We agreed to meet in a few days to exchange notes. Here's how it
all went.

My engaged friend: The other night when my boyfriend came over he
found me with a black leather bodice, tall stilettos and a mask. He
saw me and said, 'You are the woman of my dreams. I love you!!!!

The mistress: Me too! The other night I met my lover at
his office and I was wearing the leather bodice, heels and mask over
my eyes and a raincoat. When I opened the ra incoat he I love you!!!!!

Then I had to share my story: When my husband came home I
was wearing the leather bodice, black stockings, stilettos and a mask
over my eyes.
As soon as he came in the door and saw me he said,

'What's for dinner, Batwoman?

Betty I was just telling Sage she did not make a dent in the Raspberries when she picked yesterday....and the weeds have loved the cool damp weather this past week!! Just a lot of general outdoor cleanup that needs to get done...so I can plan NEW projects like finishing up the patio room.....pathways.....maybe an Arbor Room out back....

this afternoon we have to go over to MIL's and pick Raspberries....she has picked and frozen all she wants to deal with this year......and we can't bear to let them go to waste!

ppffttttttt! There went my coffee Tubby...you did it again.........

You 'tubby' are in prime form today..that glove must be giving you energy..are you finding yourself dancing around? lol

Trisha, omg my MIL used to have gardens and would sell her veggies, her canned goods and had big garden of rasberries...they'd pick them and I'd eat them..sure miss them not having the vegetable garden...

Have to settle for a vendor along the roadside..

Oh my, you've a lot to do, before you know it it will be winter time, but then you could still use the patio room...nice that you have Sage to keep you company..she loves crafts I'm sure..especially when she get to do them with grandma...how's Laura?

Drats, forgot to tell you...

Was talking to Greg a little while ago and I asked how Kyle was doing at Trenton Army Base, Greg wasn't too sure Kyle would like it and stay the 2 weeks..

Said they haven't spoken to him but he has texted a few times...

They have to job 3kl. each way for 3 meals a day..now that's a lot of miles just to be fed...he's been hand glidding, in helicopters/planes etc. what I find most interesting is the army treat these cadets as though they are in the army and working...he'll get $60.00 each week he's there as pay...

He'll be excited..he's a saver but only in as much as he saves for something really special...

Can't wait to see him..

Well time to close up shop..

Off shopping, then portrait sketching so won't get home much before 10 or 11pm..makes for a late night..I'll be tired since I didn't get much sleep last night...

Talk to you all later..

I have three more baby tomatos...Yippie

Little green jewels make my mouth water..LOL

Cute
