I saw that.

So that's the flavor I couldn't identify! Maybe we should bottle it and use it on chicken..

Ugh! Lost my taste for ice cream.....Very sad about that child.....am hoping it was not a client of my stepson's wife who is a social worker in that part of Maine......

Freaky.

Anyone have plans for the rapture on Saturday?? I'll be enjoying a nice dinner with my Astoria friends at an Italian restaurant.

I knew those pressure cookers were dangerous! Just mentioned my stepson's wife, only to find out she was in a bad car accident on Route One in Maine.....her car was totalled, & she had problems with her heartbeat, so now she's in York Hospital.....am working at church on Sat. Hopefully, that's the right place!

just weeding & planting Victor

Oh No, Marilyn! How horrible! Will keep her in my prayers. So sorry to hear that!

Hope she is okay, Marilyn!

Hope they did not use Samoyeds!

Crazy thing about that pressure cooker, sheesh

At least they weren't eating dog, depending on what kind of dog food, I wouldn't mind eating it.

No plans for the rapture on the 21st

Hope she's ok, Robin

my sister gave me doggie bakery treats for the dogs.. they smelled so good I wanted to eat em

hope she feels well marilyn

i will be spreading mulch and weeding

Celeste just left.. we had a nice visit... and loaded her up with plants to take home.. I so wish we all lived closer and could do this more often

Not good news with Kathy....she suffered a stroke....either before or after the accident, & has been transferred to Mass. General.....her speech is very slurred, & she has no memory of the accident. This is her second stroke...she's also had 2 heart attacks....she lost her youngest brother after a heart transplant last year, & her other brother & sister have both had heart attacks as well. Mother & father both gone from heart related problems.

oh no.. so sorry to hear that

Thanks.

Oh man, so sorry to hear, praying for her and her family

Did everyone read "today in history" on the homepage?
1862: The U.S. Homestead Act was signed by President Abraham Lincoln, allowing applicants to claim title to 160 acres of any undeveloped land outside the original 13 colonies. Over 1.6 million homesteads were granted until the Act was repealed in 1986.


Repealed in 1986???? oh man...wish I had known about...or at least my parents....we could have been owners of 160 acres somewhere in the Midwest.

just chased a doe out of the yard... after all this rain I have to go spray tomorrow.. rain or shine

Oh yeah, I'll need to respray to keep the bunnies out

I saw some of my coral bells were nibbled on the other day.. but with all this rain there was no point... better stay away from my lilies!!!

Jen, do you think you would have found 160 available acres??!

Maybe if I looked hard enough...LOL

Marilyn - so sorry to hear the news about Kathy. What a stacked deck! Keeping her and your stepson in my prayers! She'll get good care at Mass General.

Allison - how cool that you got to see Celeste!! Did she enjoy her Washington trip?

Hi everyone, im back! What an amazing time, but not enough of it. Without a doubt, i'll be going back. ^_^
Allison, thanks again for the wonderful, huge breakfast and great company....not to mention the truck-load of plants!!!

Jen, funny you should bring Abe up today........LOL

Celeste, was that your first visit to DC?

Hi Louise, yes I did!

Robin, I thought of you today as I made my way through Conn. , im so sorry about your DSIL, sending prayers.

Jen, my first I had ever left New England was 4 years ago when I FLEW to Florida. I saw 3 airports and Tampa, that is the extent of my traveling. I have never driven outside of New England, totally naive country girl.......totally awed!!!!

Oh wow!

that's it we have to have a DG RU somewhere tropical!!!!

A little bit of culture shock too! LOL

oh I am sure

Glad to hear you had a great time, Celeste! Did Allison decorate appropriately for your visit? I would expect her to have just the right theme in the front yard! lol I'm so looking forward to seeing you guys in July!

How about tropical south Florida in the winter! lol We're in the tropical zone! :)

She had a pixie garden for me! Can't wait to see you either Louise. :)
