That was insane!

I wanted to see him get down!

Jim runs something like it, and I want to watch him watch it. Lets see if Jim passes out or ??????????

dumkopf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok - Jims not a touchy feely, computer kind of guy. He sat and watched it. He said it was not impossible, but he would like to inspect it in person. He also said he would not do it.

Our family is coming to an end of an era today...after almost 20 years we are closing our Pizza business. The economy has been hard on us this past year , and coming to the end of our lease we decided not to resign. My boys are grown, one with 3 girls and the other getting married in June and having different interest and my husband not being able to do it physically anymore I decided to end a wonderful run. I am going to miss the camaraderie we had with staff and customers, many that became good friends I won't miss the business end of it, that's what my hubs keeps reminding me of whenever I start to cry. Finally we will plan a real vacation! A sad day for me but lots more time to spend in my garden and with my granddaughters and dogs!! Off to make the final pizzas and steak sandwiches!

A change in your lifestyle for sure luvs but I'm sure you will have many exciting new ventures.

New adventure for you, sad but exciting.

Dont forget how many times you literally get "burnt"

Congrats on your next chapter, Ronnie! Retail is a tough life.

{{HUGS}}} Ronnie. Definitely a bittersweet moment, but it sounds as if you have great plans ahead. WOOHOO!!!

Thanks everyone for your kind expressions of sympathy.....being in the garden has helped me heal. Ronnie, best of luck to you as you begin another life. The old crab tree is looking wonderful this year.....

Good to see you back, Marilyn!

Hi Marilyn! Yes, that sure is beautiful. The garden is always healing, isn't it?

Beautiful tree! Welcome back. ^_^

My garden was invaluable after 9/11, as I have described in the past.

Guy I went to school with (was good friends with his brother) died in an automobile accident 2 days ago

It's sad but when you have the promise of eternity there's no worries.

... maybe they just don't want them shooting blanks! (lol!)

LOL

Why would they do that to themselves in the first place? Sounds very painful if you ask me.
Speaking of painful, I finally got my dress picked out and ordered for Tarsha'a wedding.
I went to Portland, Falmouth, ect... last thursday and tried cake and dress. Good combo huh? I was a size 4/6 at the first place we tried a dress at stopped for cake testing at 2 places and then was a 6/8 at the next place I tried dresses on! LOL

Thanks for all the well wishes! It was sad saying goodbye to all my good customers...seems like everyone ordered last night! The hard part is over now the clean up begins...who wants some food? LOL... I found out last night my daughter-in-law planned a party for us tonight...so nice! Wow I don't have to get someone to work for me!

Beautiful crab tree Marilyn I hope it made you smile!

Celeste, I can't even look at cake since I ordered the dress for my son's wedding! LOL

Ronnie, I shouldn't of! LOL BTW, sorry to hear your closing your Pizza shop, the DD thats getting married loves Pizza...it's her favorite comfort food. Now..... Enjoy your party and time off and have a wonderful vacation!!!!

Vacation? What is Vacation?

Sorry Jen about your friend! Pixie, you can eat all the cake you want....you'll work it off! Ronnie, have fun tonight, we'll be thinking of you. Hi back, Harper, hope you're drawing.
