Sweet Interruptions # 257.. really 257

Susan, good luck with the interviews coming up.

(((((((((Sis Kathy))))))))))))
My beloved Rimau, Ali, Gypsy and too many to mention.. will be showing Missy Mae their favorite spots.

Sending positive vibes your way Susan.

((((((((((((((marion))))))))))))))))))) lots of prayers to you and your family

thanks for the support for sissy mae. I am lost and Sammy is to

((((((((Marion)))))))) (((((((Kathy))))))))
Prayers for you, dear Marion
Kathy - so difficult losing your Sissy Mae..........

Sorry you lost you Sissy Mae, I pray you get thru this time. I know how hard it is to lose a beloved pet. They are so much a part of our human family.

((( marion )))) and (((( kathy )))) sending you all my love
i have just been quiet. not much else to say , just trying to get things done around the house

Sending my prayers and love Marion and to you too Kathy. Losing a pet is so hard...

Knowing my sistahs who have hearts that can't hold the whole universe, you must be in tears when you see pictures of the Boston victims.
Krystle Campbell who was so vivacious, whose mother's speech would be like any mother's. That tore me up.
Then there's little Martin. That card he held up in school.. "No More Hurting People"... God needs an angel.

The reason I said I hope it isn't international, the govt. wouldn't be fighting against foreign govt. just to apprehend the culprits.
Yes terrorism is bad, if this is the work of a lone wolf or even home brewed, justice would be much faster.

Hey there Sue. Seems that you really had a good time with your girlfriend to tire you out like that!! Happy that you have some good memories made.

Sis Kathy, like Pegi said, you're grieving for a child, not your pet.

I'll be putting myself in work mode today. Murdock's on the decline and I don't want to stress Kel any further.
Please add Murdock to your prayers sistahs.

Praying for Murdock........... poor Kel - he's under a lot of stress re: his dad.......

Sorry to hear about Murdock, sending lots of prayers!

Sending my prayers too Jaye....

I'm sending prayers too, Jaye. Praying too that Kel will be able to handle all the pressure that has been put upon his shoulders.

I'm hoping for no more winds so I can put things in order in the yard. I've been putting this off just too long. Better get out my weed wacher as I see more of that dang grass that produces fox tails has sprouted up all over. What a never ending job!!

praying for Murdock and Kel. hang in there jaye, keep smiling

Good morning sistahs!
Kel appreciates all your prayers, me too. Sis Kathy, I'm okay. Thank you.
Murdock hasn't been sleeping well, as he's too afraid to close his eyes. Yes, he's very afraid to die.
Tell me please if I'm wrong. I haven't seen Murdock or Ida for 2 years now. The hurt runs deep while the abuse continues on Kel.
As a Christian, I'm supposed to take that step and be a bigger person and forgive MIL. Well, I just release her to God, and I know Kel won't ever stop becoming their servant until Murdock pass away, as he loves his dad.
I warned Kel, that I won't be attending any of his parents' funerals. That's been on my mind last night. Kel says that I need to be by his side, but how could I?
I've been supporting Kel for more than 5 years by NOT leaving him and putting up with his mother's shenanigans, and that's much more important than showing support at a funeral when you know MIL with her evil mind would make a big show if I appeared.
BTW, she does that at every relatives' funerals.. it's all about her!
Oh evil me to be talking about her like that! :D

A beautiful HOT day today. 88* and no rains. Will be occupying my mind and hands on the machine and cook some meat protein for Kel.
I'm still on a vege kick!

Coffee and Cafe Du Monde, New Orleans style beignets!

Morning Jaye. Thanks for the breakfast.
It is not an easy thing to decide who to support in your situation, We all know you love Kel, and he loves his Dad. Just do what you think is the right thing!
Sending lots of (((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))) your way!

Thank you LK.

What a big decision you have to make, Jaye. Saying a few prayers to help you to make that decision when the time comes.

Thanks for the breakfast, that's the kind I love the best. Sweet tooth always wins out!!

I thought we were in room 350???? what happened????

never mind, lol found link to this room duh

We are in the 80's until next Wed. whooo hooo so nice after being in low 70's and HIGH winds. My Angel Trunpet is doing so good, but the darn wind gives it a good beating!!! Had to put up a wind block part wat around it, helped but still got a litlle beating :(

ok - Bob bought me some praline nuts, and I don't like them (too sweet/sugary), so thought I could use them in a recipe - any suggestions?

Pralines/pecans are good in ice cream, breads, salads, desserts...

Hey Cindy, I missed some bruggie blooms. They died too fast in the heat before I could move the pots.
Yep, getting that way.. a few weeks of Spring then jump into summer.
I think we'll see 3 digits pretty soon!

LK is right. Just use them as toppings, Susan.

Thank you very much Pegi. My Singapore sisters, passive as they are, told me to just forgive and attend for Kel's sake.
When the time comes, I hope God guides me to do the right thing.

I found a recipe for a breakfast bar - Cashew Pecan Praline bars........
God is always guiding you, Jaye....

Thanks Susan. Guess I need the affirmation that I'm not acting selfish.

Sistah Judy.. wooohooo.. Project Runway Finals!! Are you watching?

Was a very productive day. Squared and pressed the pinwheel blocks. Kel asked me why can't I just stay on one project.
Dunno... but I'm sure I ain't alone on this.

Your not alone Jaye, when I am sewing I have several going at the same time.

Staying on one project in not working for me. I guess that is why I never get anything done. Don't know why I raked up all the leaves and oranges under the blood orange tree because the winds came up again and knocked a lot more down. No more raking until winds stop completely.

Do you eat the oranges?

You always have my support, (((((((Jaye)))))))) - I Have Your Back, Sistah!! :-)

Morning everyone.
Turn on your tv, they have killed one of the Boston bombing suspects, and they are on the hunt for the other one, and there may be more in the cell. They think they are from Chechnya or Turkey. They have the whole city on shut down, no one is allowed to go anywhere, not to school or work.

omygoodness......!! I can imagine that the good people of Boston are frightened.....
I hope there is no more bloodshed......

I'm here, but not totally here. If someone said I've been seen.. warning: It's my doppleganger.

Last night I started cutting fabric for another project. So that makes project # 4.
Lolol.. more UFOs.
Pegi, LK...we'll form the Insatiable Crafters Anonymous!

Susan, FBI will have to change their Standard Operations Procedures on profiling terrorists.
These are White Russians. They can blend easitly in society.
A lot of people think of Mexicans when illegal immigrants are mentioned. Wrong, there's a huge community of illegals from Russia at the beach. They're the new mafia. Crime is their #1 occupation.

O to have this heat come down a few degrees!!!

Hope your not working too hard Jaye.
Your right, it is not just Mexican people that are illegal immigrants, they come from all over the world.

Hey LK, the Mexican population has dwindled here and replaced by illegal Europeans, and some East Indians and Chinese. Only way to enter U.S is with passports and visas. We're just too big of a country to keep track of expired visas..

Alright sistahs.. make sure you know where your pressure cooker is!! Lol!!

Just learnt that the brothers are naturalized Americans!!
If they hate this country so much, why oh why do you stay and accepted scholarships??????
Perplexing..

Jaye - it's because they CAN..... That's why a lot of people do things.
f'instance - people that hack computers.... it's because they figured out how, but don't have a filter on their brains....... or morality!

He's captured!!!

great!

Thank God they found the 2nd bomber.

I found it ridiculous for some people to say it's a conspiracy theory.
Come on now!! FBI.. CIA.. ain't that stupid. Why set up a couple of White Russians? That would certainly put a damper on their terrorists profiling that always target MidEasterners or olive skinned Muslims.
Oh wait.. that other religious crazies are the ones behind this!! They want to show that ALL Muslims are terrorists!!

We welcome these Cherchnya (sp) refugees with open arms. Fleeing Russia from so call 'religious/political' persecution. Takes these two men to stain the whole community now.

Storms went through here. Thank God no fallen trees.

Morning everyone!
Glad to hear you had no damage Jaye!
Anyone heard from Marion?
