Betty, you posted the wrong thread. I posted the right one for you!

Now how did I manage to do that LindaKay?? thanks sweetie

Has your heat wave passed you by now?

Calling for very humid weather this weekend so maybe I'll get a feel of what you go through everyday...how's the fingers?

Here's a link to the tornado damage in Joplin

Waiving Hiya Betty and Everyone!!

Whew it's been a crazy week, but now things are settling down again.
Today taking MIL back to doctors. She was having some horrific pains in her hip.
Took her to the Doc, ended up in ER and then admitted over night...Next morning she awoke with absolutely nothing wrong!!
OMG, the Docs didn't know what was up, A visiting nurse went to her home and she said it was a siatica problem with all the symptoms,
Now why did the Doctors not know this???

Speaking of Doctors, So glad that Jims surgery was a success Betty. Sounds like he is following Dr's orders.
Bev, You poor Sweetie!you must have terribly scared with that fall, i am sorry it happened and you were alone for a time. But so glad your DS came when he did. I hope you get the smaller cast, if that is to be...Oh my thats a lot of traveling for you isn't it? (back & forth to Springfield I mean.) So sorry also to hear that Scotty is not doing well.
Dianne, I am at a loss of words, Please know you and DH are in my prayers...
Giant/Gentle Armwraps to you all, as well as prayers.

Shirley!! It was so nice to see you post, LOL, I hear you with all the work needing to be done. As you work around, know we are here holding you in thoughts and prayers. Hope to see you post some photos of all that you are able. I think Tubby's memorial Garden will be spectacular...

We had a (mini) tornado last Monday! It picked up the Green house and dropped it over about 3 inches! Tore a panel out of the side and one of the Ceiling windows, and Rips the right door off it's hinges, found it behind the GH...Clean up has not been fun.
The worse that has happened, The huge limb that ran across my front yard, hit by lightening, cracked it and then gusty winds broke the rest...So Steve and Brian cut it down and all the kids helped haul the pieces to the back. The village finally came yesterday with a chipper for all the large debris, left additional big mess to be swept up! On the UP side of that, I just may be able to grow some pretty flowers, A LOT of sun now in that section...

Susan, My gosh...Bummer about the tax situation, seems like that has been going on for some time, hope it gets resolved soon.
Wishing you the best of luck in finding another job...

Crissy, was glad to see your Dads Birthday was a great success...Yep waiting to hear if Dave got the job, or did i miss it?

Debbie!! Congratulations on the Graduation!!! Woohoo, finally done and on to the next...Loved all the Grad photos, what a nice family.
Your girls look just like you, love it...Also, how neat Shane played the guitar, what a fantastic memory.
Now, i dunno know what you will decide about anniversary gathering, but if you do go, i hope it a good time. You are right, Don't go making huge vats of food, maybe they should consider catering the occassion. How is your shoulder? You still going to PT?

Everyone, working on the fallen limbs!

So Sad Crissy...I feel terrible for all those that had such devastation.

Makes ours look like a small gust! Well, Glenview did get hit pretty good, half of the town has been with out electric for Days.
Fortunately we did not loose power. Just flickered for a time.

GH Damage.

other side...Jacob has returned it to it's place.

So, that was Monday and Tuesday's events...I got home from the hospital at 8:00 P.M..
Was tired but my Nephew and Family got my house at 5 P.M...Another five people plus 2 cats and a dog!!
They are on their way to Arizona, I am so sad about that. But we did have a great visit. They were having problems over heating...So took the car to be fixed, No power for 2 days at the garage, So, i ran them around for what they needed. Any way, they couldn't get the car to over heat again...So taking their chances went on to visit Gypsie, made it there ok, then over heat again, so had a new radiator installed..On the road again yesterday. They are now 4 days behind schedule, yikes...And last night they were in Denver, no available space, so let the car cool down again and drive to smaller town and hope to get a room!

So you may have guessed, i didn't keep Donavan, but it was wonderful to see him! He is just too cute, i may have never given him back, lolol...A hug for Grandti

They left here on Friday and it was Major clean up time. Prepared for Sabrina's Graduation party.
Saturday worked in the yard, as you saw lots to do, Kids all helped. It was way over time to work the front Garden, so at about 4, 8 of us pulled together and de-jungled the front! Woohoo a true team effort, it was done to at least looking nice in about 2 hours!! Sure wish they would help more often...Sunday, Grad party and then cleanup after that!

Monday, TaDah!!! Did absolutley nothing, but watch TV and finish up a few crafts!

Tuesday, Paper work for the big project that just got underway. Created Work flyers and notices, printed and altered 10 company T shirts!!
LOL, altered meaning, cut off sleeves to make muscle shirts!

Today get caught up in the threads and now off for the follow up Doc visit with MIL.

Linda kay, hope your test come clean! Oh are you going to visit family too? Hope you have a good trip.

Betty, Wanted to tell you, you did one heck of a beautiful new POND!! OMG you put me to shame with all you accomplish in the garden! LOL, still trying to weed the back...And my greatest excuse, Seemed to have rained forever!

Mary, Waiving hello!! Where have you been? Hope all is ok, haven't seen you post in a couple of days.

Barb, So glad your other eye is healing!! Hope you are taking it slow...

Meeting Skittles!

catching fireflys...Now i am just going to have to get him the Sam and The Fire fly book.
He just loved chasing them.

So, my excitement is growing again! Thunder should be on her way to IL today...keeping her and family in good thoughts for safe travels!

I haven't heard from her, so will try and call later today to see how things are going, Can't wait to meet her on the weekend, maybe even tomorrow...Which i do hope can be arranged. LOL I have a ton of Beef left over, so have plenty to go around...

Ok well, got to get ready, see you later and have a wonderful day!

We're supposed to be getting hotter weather today = 27c
Very sunny and warm, plus it's 21c at 10:15 am! We may get hotter than 27.
I've just put my resume on the JobBank for Service Canada.......
Guess I'd best go water my veggies and do my "running around" now.

omygosh, Judy - so much going on for you - a Tornado!!! glad it wasn't too much devastation, but you must have been scared!
Donavan is such a sweetie! No wonder you want to keep him lol
Sciatica is nothing to fool with - prayers for your MIL...... my DH had a problem with it, and the chiropractor fixed it in 2 visits. Mind you, my DH looked after it within 3 weeks of it "hitting" him.........

Not a happy camper, just wrote an entire novel and puff off it went in cyberspace..
drats and more drats...

Will post smaller post, maybe that's why, too long and throws it out..

Judy, so glad to see you post, thought maybe you didn't want to play in our sandbox anymore!!! You are one busy lady..between helping Steve with the business, keeping things going at home and your crafts, can't imagine how you do it all.

Awww wasn't that the tree Debbie/Liz and the both of us sat under having photo's taken..always such a nice shaded area..sad to lose a mature tree! But as usual you drop in full of joy and enthusiam in your posts and you see the storm as a plus for you, new sunny garden area to plant..sure wish I could send you flowers..

OMG isn't Donavan adorable, I just bet you could have kept him, but then I'm sure you remember what it is like raising teens and passed on the idea. Is your nephew and family relocating or just on a vacation jaunt. Nothing worse than having budgeted $$$ and then have a vehicle breakdown
issues...hope the car is now on the mend and no more problems for them..where did they leave from, up near where your cottage is? Long way to travel..

Sorry to hear about the MIL, yikes, sciatica pain can be the worse..is she doing ok today? Do you have to make regular visits to make sure she's ok?

Skittles looks as though he enjoys the young ones as much as the young ones enjoy!

Will you be able to repair the greenhouse? Another job for Steve..lol

As for the pond, it's not as nice or as large as the big one but I love hearing the waterfall vs. waterspray in the large one..this weekend I will pick up fish, rock perrenials, slate rock to finish sides/top and bottom, nice but a lot of work for 1 weekend!

Judy, how much fun it will be for you to meet Thunder..you are getting quite a list of DG members met..had hoped Thunder would drop in and let us know how her son made out..is he a full fledged Sailor now???

Oh Judy, so glad to see you! Love the shot of the little guy, Donovan is growing so fast! As the others said, scary about the tornado....what a mess to clean up. BUT could have been a lot worse, and no one was hurt.

Yes, I am still at PT, going twice a week....they tell me thru end of August. I am not sure about that as I am only allowed so many visits for insurance.

DS has been a monster since Graduation, as has been "the child". Right now DH said he can forget a graduation party and if he isn't careful, he can walk to college!! DH doesn't usually get miffed....but this time DS really deserved it. AND "the child" is pushing the buttons too. Came home with her nose pierced Sunday night....that went over like a lead balloon. Early fireworks here yesterday for sure.

Well, DH is officially working thru the weekend....and July 4th & 5th! Would complain but he gets holiday pay....and we sooooo need it. Finances are in the bucket, still fighting to save the house.....I cancelled our 4th of July picnic hear.....just the girls coming over with the SILs for parade and fireworks and burgers on the grill.

Prayers for your MIL Judy, For Jim and Scotty & Bev.

Hugs and prayers for my dear Shirley also.....so happy when you do stop in.

Betty, I think you were right about that cardinal. It is following me all over the place and screams/tweets outside the window next to the computer.

Debbie

Thanks Betty and Susan, MIL could really use some added prayers.

I feel really bad for her, Steve and His sister sometimes think she "has" problems for attention!
I told him No one can fake facial expression of pain like that, lol at least not her...She could barely walk, sit or even lay down.
...and she never calls me to help unless it pretty horrendous, good heavens in the ER they gave her a shot of morphine!! Now, not only was she loopier then ever, I sat and listened to every last detail of some cooking show she watches, ROFLOL, I was thinking, geesh i thought that would have knocked her out instead she just got blabbier by the second!!!!

Hmmm, a chiropractor can fix sciatica? I am going to tell her this, thank you for that piece of information.

OH Betty, hands on the hips here, it would have to be a very cold day in %#$& before I don't want to play in your sandbox! lol, your just stuck with me...Besides, I just love you all to pieces...LOL, notice where D's hands are in the Meeting Skittles picture?? LOL

As for Shawn and family, they are relocating to Arizona. Not too far from the Grand Canyon, so we have a great reason to go Visit Arizona now! Thanks for added prayers, that crazy car, I am on pins and needles with their travels...Sparked up a fire when they left and asked Carol to ride with them and keep the safe...

MIL called and they rescheduled her to next Friday, yipeee another day of relaxing for me! She goes to the doc like every three 3 months or so, routine checkups.

Well, I did offer to Keep Donavan until they were settled. Shawn and Martha thought about it but decided better not because of the vehicle...Boohoo.

Betty, saw you were not feeling in the best of Spirits lately, wished I could give you a big tight armwrap my friend...And I do hope you are feeling better. ..That was a lovely song you posted and it was an incredible story about the Sandpiper, yep I did cry and reread the story.

Susan, We have the most wonderful weather right now. I should be out working but just not in the mood, tired of working. lol, can't wait to read whirlgigs, even Julia just told me You need to read a good book!

just realized I haven't had lunch, tummy rumbling, so am off to feed my face, LOLOL.

See you in a bit.

Judy so great to see you!! Glad the tornado was nothing more than a whirlwind! How scary!! Too bad you lost the limb but like you said, nice sun garden going in now! Woo Hoo!! I'm very glad you didn't lose the gh, trying to decide.... if I do get to come up there how in the world am I going to transport it back to my house :P

Sciatica is nothing more than a nerve, something goes out of place and pinches the Sciatica Nerve causing the pain.

Kids, female or male, seems Debbie they all go through a bad timehere and there! Maybe that's all he needed was for Paul to step up and say enough is enough and he'll go back to his sweet self! Noticed Kyle getting a bit mouthy the other day with his dad at my house..reminded him of the Thanksgiving Day that I told him he had to leave for same reason..WILL NOT put up with his answering his dad and mom as he does..calmed him down, as he knows I'd say out you go..he said I talk to them like that because they talk to me like that, 'well Kyle, the only difference is they've earned the right to do so!' grrrr I'll do anything for kids/adults alike but I don't take rudeness...

ok you guys, who gave everyone in town info on where I work..always having someone come and say they have no $$$, need to eat..few seconds ago a man came in from the DEAF EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM handing me a card with hand signs asking for donations...so there went all the change in my purse!! how can you say no!!!!

Debbie, that bird is a true sign that you are being watched over, feel comforted by it. Regardless of how little you have at a function it's still mega $$$ ..am sure you'll enjoy the day July 4th. enjoying the activities that don't cost a fortune. Thought the organization helping you had finalized a program with the mortgage company, still not ongoing is it? How's your gardening going, are you able to do any seeing as you are getting PT treatments?

Judy, sometimes you just have to take time out for you, regardless of the weather..ohhh saw on the RWB that only 2 do not have their swap boxes and seeing as you said you just mailed yours could it be coming across the border??? So pleased our post office is back in business, said it might take another week to get the backlog cleaned up but back to posting and receiving..have my mug swap to mail..thought I'd wait until Saturday and off it goes.

LOL went to look at his hands Judy, yes, best be safe than sorry.. having Donavan would indeed have been a handful for you! You are a good DIL looking after MIL..glad you have a reprieve from driving. No cottage this weekend? Is it rented?

Did I say I might pick up some fishies tonight or tomorrow night for the pond..last time I picked up pond supplies I saw a wired grate, almost a half moon bend to it and about 12" long x 6" wide, was $89.99 but 75% off..you know me, always up for a bargain even if I don't know what the item is...young salesman came over and asked if he could help me, asked him what this item was and he said it's to be placed on the bottom of the pond so that the fish when threatened could go underneath for protection..i.e. herons, racoons etc. thought it was pretty nifty idea, not at regular price but maybe at sale price..watch me go and it's gone..snooze you lose!

Crissy, some times it take forever to heal itself though doesn't it...
No, you can't have the greenhouse, I'm bringing my travel trailer and it can be packed right on top so you are out of luck gal..
Wasn't it about this time you were travelling with me last year??

Crissy, went back to check Joplin photo's..omg, where would all these people go?? just cannot imagine how they ever get back on their feet..was listening to a t.v. program last night, think it was about the flooding, thousands were out of their homes and much lost and they said that only a little over 400 had insurance to cover such loss...

Imagine if you live in tornado country you might have difficulties putting insurance on your home, either that or it would be so expensive you couldn't afford it.

I think I was up at your house this time of year, I know I got home a few days before the 4th of July. Boy did I have fun and would LOVE to do it again!

I live in tornado country and my insurance isn't any higher than it was in CA. I hope that you don't have to have Tornado Insurance to be covered if a tornado hits, I don't think you do, never heard of it.

Betty read about Dixie Alley

http://www.ask.com/wiki/Dixie_Alley

Here's another little article.
http://www.usatoday.com/weather/storms/tornadoes/2011-04-25-tornado-dixie-alley.htm

See it as a place NOT to move to Crissy..just cherish the memories of travelling with you and Debbie and the people we met, quite an experience for sure.. Guess you are waiting to see if Dave gets hired on before making the decision to travel north to Judy's?

That's exactly what I'm waiting for, and then it still might be a maybe cause he doesn't want me going anywhere. It might be a fight. I DID move here to Dixie Alley without realizing so until a year later. Who does that??? LOL

This message was edited Jun 29, 2011 3:32 PM

Use your womanly wiles Crissy..lol worked last time
Is there any date he expects to hear about the job??

Debbie, Crissy!!

Good to see you too...

Debbie, lol I think it's due to them graduating, they all "THINK" they know it all now.
Breenie has been on the go...Thinks she doesn't need to check in, sigh...i feel like I need a tape recorder sometimes!

Hey Sure was sorry to hear your kids were in a car accident! How are they doing? Healing up. My gosh, so glad it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

Well, your 4th of July sounds like it will still be nice..Bummer DH has to work, but yep holiday pay is worth it.

Betty, yes you did mention about the pond, getting stone and such...It sure is coming along nicely and by time you are done it will be just fantastic! Really?? Thats a smaller pond? looks gigantic, lol.

Yes Betty, we did rent the cottage for the weekend. I am glad we will stick close to home for the holiday. We will probably have a bbq here too, nothing fancy and then go to the Golf Course, the village puts on a really nice firework display...Probably about 20 of us will gather.

wow, I actually fell asleep for a couple of hours, hmmm still feel tired.

hehehe, your all too cute...Well i guess i would just have to come and get me GH from you then, lol we can play pass the Greenhouse!

Sciatica IS caused by a pinched nerve - sometimes a hip socket (or something else) gets out of place and that pinches the nerve(s).

I have sciatia, and it is not fun! Mine went untreated too long before I had surgery, so it was not treated 100%.

Judy, sounds like you have been so busy. Time to slow down! Sorry to hear you had damage to your green house.

Debbie, is the PT helping your shoulder any? Love the cardinals! They are so pretty!

Well, I went in for a CT scan this morning and they needed to inject a contrast dye for the images to show up better. Well, guess who found out the hard way I am allergic to iodine contrast? I got through the test just fine, they took out the IV and I walked across the room and sat down to put on my shoes. When I reached for the first shoe, my throat and face started burning and itching really bad. They went to get the Dr. And by the time he got there, I had hives on my neck, throat and face. So they immediately put another IV in my wrist, and gave me steroids and liquid benadryl. I had to call Todd so he could drive me home after I spent at least an hour so they could keep an eye on me. When I got home, I had a very nice benadryl nap! All is well now, but I was told to never allow anyone to inject me again with that stuff!

OHHHH Linda Kay! I had that happen to me when I was in my early 20s! Talk about scary. I was told "now days" they do not use the same "recipe" for the MRIs. I have had several and not the same reaction. Maybe there is one they use for people with sensativity?

Speaking of MRIs' DH goes int he morning for his....right knee and left elbow 2 for 1 sale! Oh lovely!

Judy, got a call from the kids today on the accident. Initial damage on the truck was reported 11 to 12,000. Today they finished all the reports, got the paperwork and estimates.....and the damage is $15,000 to $16,000!!! Injury wise, Carrie is having some knee pain...but thinks it is still healing and badly bruised. Andy feels like he was "stretched in all ways" and hurts. Both are on anti inflamatories....going to take time. Still no word on the woman driver injured.

My shoulder is doing better, I have been "slowing down" a bit more and actually icing it 2 to 3 times day. AJ (PT) told me to stop forcing it...to slow down or I was going to do more damage. As it is now...they have me in PT til the end of August, which won't happen. I only have 30 visits...and think 20 are about used up from "pre" surg. and after now. Will ask in the morning when I go.

I need a small smakarel of something to nibble on.....be back!

Debbie

ouch on the allergies, LK! glad they caught it while you were at the hospital!

Debbie - glad the kids are doing so well after the accident. Bumps and bad bruises aren't fun, but neither are they life threatening.......
Glad your shoulder is doing better. Icing is good. Wish I'd remember to do it for my knee lol (which, btw, is still giving me trouble from the Apr 2nd sprain! I guess it will just take some time, too).

Hello To All !

Goodness ya'll ... life throws you for a loop for sure once and a while... Please pray for me and DS19....

It all came down today. I had called my dad and his wife yesterday... They live in Wewahitchka Florida (is that near you Thunder?)

Anyway.... Dad needs help building a fence and I need help building character... so they agreed DH and I could bring him to them.... I'll pick him up the following weekend.... when he returns.... he will need to get a new job... he is lucky... his old boss will give him a reference but not keep him employed...

How weird for my Dad... he is a blessing to take him for a week... Dad is very shy and so is DS19.... I hope they are able to communicate because my Dad is awesome and could teach DS a thing or two....

I'll try to pop on tomorrow...but this is so very painful for me... advice and prayers are appreciated.....

Hugs,
Mary

Mary - may the Good Lord help you to realize that he is always holding you gently in his arms, and will help you look after your life. Once you give your life to the Lord, you will find peace.
Leave them to it, and your Dad and DS19 will find ways to communicate. They may both startle each other with what the other knows. The Lord will help them, surely.

Sending prayers your way Mary! Goodness, that is a 7 hour trip. Drive careful please?

Morning all, sunshine peeking through the trees to greet me this morning, can't ask for anything more on a long weekend!

Quite an evening last night, drove to pick up domes for the boat canvas, had a nice chat with the tarp maker (he's the one that did my camper tart) even loaned me a tool to make my project easier.

Although I'd have enjoyed doing nothing I decided to make an effort to make the pattern for the boat tarp..with wind up, I called Cathy and asked if she was busy could she help me for 1/2 hour or so..started to do template but 2 was just not enough..there on the street were 4 young kids on bikes discussing their day, went over and asked if they would like to earn a can of pepsi dor a few minutes work, now with hands holding tightly the material I was using as a template I was able to mark it out!

Decided to cut from canvas the main top and side stringers so now I'm ready to sew..realized most likely Cathy didn't have supper to I ordered from the restaurant, easy cooking...

No sooner had we eaten that Kyle fropped in, a man who owns a local construction company has hired him, he had put in 10 1/2 hrs yesterday..told me even if he gets 2 or 3 days in a week this summer and with what he earned this past winter he'll have more than enough
to purchase his snowmobile this fall..needless to say I listened to a play by play of what he accomplished on his first job, thin Len is treating him like a man and is spoiling him..Len is paying a few dollars more than minimum wage, a 15 year old earning $13.50 an hour
Is not bad...so he left on a high by then I was nodding off so called it a night..

Enough about me...

LindaKay thank goodness you were still in the hospital when it started to react, could have been deadly! That's the thing about allergies, you don't know you have them until you take what you should not have taken..are the hives gone now? I can't take penicillin , that being said I had a reaction, similar symptoms to you..bad thing is I don't have a bracelet..must do that ! Hoping you are better today, no after effects!

Mary, sending hugs..I so wouldn't want to be a teen in these times! Not sure what he may have done but you've a level head on your shoulders and you'll do what is right..you are already taking the right steps..week with grandpa..will be a perfect time for generation gap to learn from each other..lots of driving for you though..drive safely, much traffic on the roads this weekend..

Debbie, that gorgeous cardinal still with you? Had hoped you were taking it easy, doing next to nothing but I think we are much alike, their do nothing and our do nothing aren't the same. Lol. But he's right , you could do permanent damage, so you must be mindful regardless how hard it is to do so.. Going to take some time for the kids to heal' so relieved they are ok. Wow, are they going to repair or replace..for that amount I'm sure there is frame structure damage..

Speaking of behaving, Laura how are you feeling? Meds working and you are in less pain..with July 4th and having the little ones hope you don't overdo..how's the community garden doing..critters still munching on your plants..

Susan, you all planted now?

Meant to add, LindaKay, with Todd coming to get you do you have to go back and pick up your vehicle?

Dianne, Frankie flowers says we're in for a fantastic weekend.
Hoping you and dh can get to sit out for a bit..sending prayers..

Bev, how are you? Worry about you as well..how is Scotty doing?

Shirley, as always know you are on my mind especially on this holiday we eked..sending arm wraps

Best I go get ready

Need to make a list of things to pick up..need to check the thread situation or the tarp won't be getting done

Mary you are blessed to have a father that is willing to take DS . A 7 hour trip WOW.
LK are you allergic to shellfish? If you had a reaction to ct contrast chances are shellfish will do the samething. Be careful . You can go into MRI that contrast has no iodine.
Betty the pond grate sounds interesting. I have heard people putting wire mesh over the ponds to keep fish safe.
Maybe what I need is a chiroprator. I hate the side effects fo the meds..........
Wavying to all..........coffee is on
I have fresh cantalope for breakfast.

Whooo Hoooo I love Frankie! Haven't had the TV on yet.Looks glorious here but some rain is forecasted. Going to go out soon as the sun moves around to the 2 gardens I want to weed. Will have to spray first though as the deer flies are the worst they have been in 10 years. Poor Quill came in ysterday with both her eyes swollen shut, Fortunately have been through the drill before io about an hour after an antihistamine she could at least see out of her eyes. Poor baby!Well squint!
Our stat holiday here tomorrow July 1, now is July 4 a stat holiday for everyone else (except for SUsan and Betty) here on B's Blog?
Bev how are you this morning? Sending you a huge but gentle hug.
Laura how is that back? Grrrrr I have a bad one too, the result of a car accident in 87 and it ALWAYS rears its head when I least need it to do so.(((Laura)))
Oh Mary I truly think a week with your DD is what your DSon needs. My daddy was the salt of the earth, very quiet and shy but as children we towed the line with him. Dad's gentle but firm ways helped myself, an old BF, my DB and plus my DB's 2 sons
to develop a work ethic as well as a sensitivity towards others. I think when we are so young we knew it all!!! Excellent idea Mary! Plus it will give you a rest from the emotional turmoil going on right now.
DH needs me, be back in a bit.
Dianne

Morning LK!How is the hand?
Barb I bet you are alreaday at the sewing maching. Whooo hooo for you!!
Crisy what is up for you this weekend?

Morning everyone! No more hives, Thank God! it was a mild reaction they said, but said no shrimp! Your right bout the MRI contrast, it is not the same.
Laura, call a chiropractor, he can't heal it, but they can adjust things to keep it aligned. I see mine at least once a month!

Thank goodness for that LindaKay!! Interesting about the shrimp..I'd never have to worry about eating shrimp, not a fan of fish..all except the fish/chip fish..lol no taste or crappie fish, love that, just like chicken.

Laura, thanks for breakfast, stopped at my SIL Charlene's coffee stand this morning, got coffee and she gave me a piece of blueberry,white/dark chocolate bar..yikes, best I throw it in the garbage and eat your fruit...heck, why not have both...call today, maybe you can get in for a session Laura and it would ease the pain for the weekend!

Quiet here, Paul's 2 daughters have now moved to the Penetang office..loving it!!!

I am so hoping that Paul after his 11:30 appt. might say go home, beat the traffic

Do want to go to the garden gallery to see if the grate is still there and pick up some fishies and perrenials for around the pond...

Dianne, maybe that's what is also bitting Sailor??? she's not been pulling much more hair out, maybe it's the meds for itching that is working..she sure looks old and feable..know what's coming.

Got to love Frankie Flowers..they had him on 1010 am radio this morning giving garden suggestions, you can tell growing up with parents owning one of the largest flower garden nurseries that he has a wealth of information to impart..

Got to check what's happening in Barrie tomorrow...think they have vendors and ribfest..they were interviewing about 5 b.b.q. chefs from way down yonder..Alabama, Arkansas and Louisiana..sounds yummy
