Rm 297 "Sweet Interruptions" Hotel

Pegi, go talk to someone in your bank for advice!

Thank you for your kind words re: cape
nice that unnamed has eyes open :-) Tummy still hurting?

Pegi - this is good advice that LK is giving - go to your bank - they'll give you free advice!

Morning everyone, still fighting this darn crud. Been sleeping most of the day. Guess I will not be going to the quilt festival in Houston this year. :(

Awww so sorry LK.

There will be another show, I just need to get better for my trip in two weeks. Going to see my dad on the 8th!
Would love to see you Karen, if you can make it to Grand Rapids? I am trying to make arrangements to see Susie also.

I'll have to see, seems I have quite a bit of company coming in the near future. Would love to see you again.

I will be there on the 8th, and leave on the 12th.

Wish I were headed that way too!!

Me three!!!

Me Four!

Gonna do my best.

Awe, some day we will all gather together.

What am I sliced potatoes.?

Ernie - pls edit your message - somehow your keyboard spaced waaaaaaaaaay down lol
:-)
We've all done it at some point lol

If we could all meet up somewhere I am sure you would be invited also Ernie. Susie lives near where Linda is traveling in Michigan and they have been online friends for a long time.....no slight intended I'm sure.....I was sort of wishing I could be there too.....

Barb, great idea but with Ernie being in the on on one side of the 48 and me being on the southern eastern side looks like somewhere in the midwest would be centrally located! Long journey!! Still not saying it can't/won't happen someday. Oh the fun this group would have...hummm, me thinks we might need to find a large cabin in the middle of the woods some where so we don't disturb people with our laughter!!!!

Marion, that would be so much fun!

we had a very large cabin, but nobody made it but 3 of us. It had all the luxeries of home. Iam ready to go back there. we can pitch in and get brother ernie a ticket

oh boy - my geography is terrible - what do you mean by Ernie being on one side of the 48 and you on the other? Does this mean he's nearer to where I live?

Susan, Ernie is just under you and to the west a bit in Washington State.

Yeap, that was what I meant.

marion, ya don't like my suggestion?

Oh I was just kiddiddingu. I do take a trip now and then close to Boston to visit an old friend in the Alzheimer's unit of a nursing home then down to Kentucky to visit Bonnie.. I also try to go to Alaska fishing once a year. Beyond that I am about tripped out. You girls go ahead and have a blast.

Marion last year I made it to Orlando and from the air I never missed anything there. I never left the plane and let me tell you the heat was stifling I don't know how close that is to you but I am afraid it is much to hot there for me. I guess you get used to the heat like we do the rain and the cold.

Beautiful photos Ernie. Thank you for sharing. Sure would love to see that area some day.....

Barb, you would love Washington, it is so pretty!

It is indeed Ernie, I think the most spectacular scenery in the country, well....maybe except for Alaska.

Well at last some reliefe in my lower back the griping pain is gone except when I twist to far it radiates from my lower right side to my right butt area. What a drag this is.

Ok here's what not to do if you can help it. 1don't use a cane when going to get your drivers license.2 if you do have to use the cane lie about why you are using it. Just say you turned your ankle a little. I went on Tuesday to get my drivers license renewed. Heres what happened.

I went to the dmv office and waited an hour and at last my number was called I went up to window 5 as directed and my greeting was not g morning hi or anything friendly but the first question out of her mouth was why do tou have that cane? My initial thought was to use but I stiffeled myself and said I have dibetes and get pain in my feet and legs. It's an aid when standing long periods of time.She says ok take this form to your dr and have it filled out.

I said I was just there 4 days ago this is going to cost me 173 dollars can you just call. No I told you to go see your doctor. Grrr at her rudeness ok off to the docs. I arrive at the docs and the receptionists politely says hi Ernie how are you. Oh I am fine I just need to know if I need to make an appointment for this or if he can just fill it out only three or four questions. She says I will take it back and see. She returns in about 5 minutes and says here you go done deal. Great on my way now.

I went back into the dmv and when I got there I waited in line and at long last I got my turn now to get my license nope the guy says this is not t I waited 3 hours and he filled out the form and life is good I still have time to get across town to the dmv.he right paper. I says it is the one they gave me. All this time I don't have my glasses on. Well your doctor did this. Here is a new form take it back and have your doctor fill it out. No negotiating here so back to the docs.Hi Ernie different receptionist but still hi Ernie. Not what do you want. I showed the girl the form and explained what happened last time. Ok she says a off she goes. After 10 minutes she tells me sorry you have to see him for this.

Ok life is still good I have time to return the dreaded paper.This time the greeter says hi mr weed lol I knew I was in trouble. I got my number and sat down and after a short time got my turn again. The sign lights up with my number and I go to the window and the woman says mr weed you have been randomly selected to take the driving test. I say ok my truck is right here and it's warm. Nope you need to take the written first then if you pass you take the road test. ok where is the written test? you don't have time I look at my watch and ask her how many questions she says 25 and I tell her I have pleanty of time mickeys big hand is approaching the 5 and the little hand is at about the 7 position I have lots of time. Then she says you should take this book and study it. I said I don't need to study that book to pass your test lets go . Thete isn't time she says again. By now I am tirede of hearing about time. Ok fine but if you run out of time you can't test again for a week. Ok by me I have lots of time I have been clocked at well over a thousand words a minute. So the dreded test begins 8 minutes later I trow up my hands like a cowboy making a tie lol Ok so now lets do the drive test no wedon't do drive test until Thursday. ok .

Fast fwd to Thursday Show up for the dreded test. Offf we go and back again Mr weed you passed. I didn't expect I would no. Then we get to the fun part she ask me if I had any questions I said yes why did you profile me she said I didn't you were randomly selected. I said if so how ? I said if so why did it take two days why did I not be told by mail I had been randomly selected. I said you saw an older man with a cane and decided to wring on me. She became really quiet and I said I haven't decided to sue the dmv for age discrimination or for discrimination against handicapped persons. She sid no sir you were not profiled. I said to her of what country are you a citizen.did you buy or acquire anything your bring back to the us today, do you have 10,000 in cash today any wepons in the vehicle. NO I was Profiled and I know it. Whats more I am sure I can prove it. Then I got my picture taken and left. The twit.

OH MY! What an ordeal you had at the DMV! I hope after all that you got your new license?

I saw that shooting on the news, so sad.

Karen Alaska is beautiful yet ugly in a lot of places. But without a doubt most of it is a thing of beauty.

Hope I didn't repeat if so please ignore.

LK yes I got my license the woman told me you just effortlessly parallel parked and I said well I have been doing this for 55 years lol The twitt

Ernie i just heard about that shooting. Sending those families prayers.
I m feeling better, two days of sleep did me some good.
You all need to come to the gathering in June at my place .. hint hint.....

Ernie - you're right - the twit! You've likely been parking longer than she's been on this earth!
and oh, what an ordeal you went through at dmv!!
I think it's good advice - don't tell anyone the truth about your cane........ not those in power, anyway.....

Sue - I'm glad to hear you're feeling better

there are 8 girls down in my basement........ hmm wait that sounds wrong LOL .... Savannah has her friends over and are watching movies in the basement. :)
she won't let me down there. :( but i will have to venture down there in a bit . I want to go to bed in an hour. The tv is to loud and is echoing upstairs ...
thank you Susan . i do feel better.

very pretty pictures ernie. bama plays the vols tonite, then next week, me and sis jaye will be battling it out.
been up with my grandson most of the nite to make sure he didn't stop breathing. he has trciaitis and it make his windoioe swell up.
oh, i did make the coffee and muffins this morning. help yourself

Sorry to hear about your Grandson Kathy, sending prayers his way!

Karhy sending prayers for your little GS That's just not right that little kids get those terrible kinds of illness.

Prayers for your GS Kathy, hope he will be well soon. Had to go and look it up, sure glad I can look so many things up on Inernet.

I did go to the bank, loan officer wasn't there, but the gal said they didn't do RM, which I figured they didn't. So guess I will call on Monday and see if the loan officer has any good words for me. This is stressing me out, but now my younger sister said she would go with me when I have to go for counseling. I'll have to call and ask her if she wants to talk to this guy so he can explain everything to her. She doesn't let anyone walk all over her, and she wants answers she is OK with. Her aggressive behavior I guess she learned through her law enforcement career. I just don't want to get caught up paying more interest than I have to. I owe a lot of money on my mortgage yet, if DH would have considered saving for a home many years ago it would have been paid for. Well, it will resolved one way or another. I don't trust any kind of salesman.

ended up taking him in a ambulance to childrens hospital. tey said its either rhino virus or that new virus that's going around

Glad to hear he us in the hospital getting treatment! Sending prayers!

Sending prayers Kathy...
No clue about RV pegi - sorry I can't help.
