Hi Adele,
I hope that you had a good time at the graduation. It is such a fun time for the kids that are graduating. Don’t those kids look too young to be getting out of high school? It seems the older I get the younger other people are looking. Were we ever that young? It just does not seem like we were.
The thing that I am talking about is not a bottle warmer. It has the formula in it and the water. So that way the bottle is always made right. You are supposed to be able to just put it on the machine and it makes the bottle up and you take it off and all you have to do is shake it up to mix. Well I put the bottle on the machine and pushed the button. The water comes out and the formula comes out but the water does not fill the bottle like it is supposed to. So I tried pushing the button again and nothing. So I take the bottle off and get some formula out of the cabinet. Just when I get it out more of the formula starts to come out of the machine. So now that is all over the counter. So I just went ahead and made the bottle by myself and hoped that it was right. I think that my daughter and her boyfriend think it is funny when that stuff happens to me. They both know that I could never figure the thing out so I just leave it alone. Now she will walk over and fix the next bottle for Aliza and the stupid thing works like it should. It is aggravating.
it is just horrible that they are treating you this way about the shoddy work that they did. They should refund the money and not complain. This is all their fault. You have cooperated with them more then anyone else would have. Will just hang in there my friend. Do not let them get away with anything.
I love the Jesse Stone series. I wish they would make a new one. There have to be more stories because that one kid came back to the force to work with Jesse and I look for that woman to come back also. Need to look on the internet and see how many books were written in the series. There are still a lot of stories that they could do on that. It is good to see Tom back on the air.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
Colleen

Hi Dianne,
I like the pictures of the owls. They are so cute. Christine Brailsford really likes owls also. She has a quacker shirt with owls on it. She went to an owl sanctuary one year.
It does seem like this year is going by so fast. Where does the time go. I guess we do not have as much to do now that we are older and so time goes faster. We have more time to think about it. Are you doing anything for the 4th? It will be fun if you and your neighbor have another picnic. You seemed to have such a good time when you had the last one.
I got the Insider magazine and they did not seem to have as much Christmas stuff this time around. They usually have so many things that you cannot make a decision of what you want. I just hope that the shows that they have are better then they looked in the magazine.
How is your back? I hope that you are getting some relief for you pain. Just take care of yourself.

Hi Adele,
I cannot believe all the trouble that you are having with those people. They should have laid the tile the right way the first time around. Isn’t it funny when you want to have them come back they couldn’t everyone was on vacation. Now that you want your money back they can make it to your house. I do not blame you for being mad they have really did not do the job they should have. What makes them think that the guy that laid the tile is going to be able to make things right. Is he going to give you your money back? That is terrible that you will have to find someone else to do the job. I will never go to Lowes for anything like that. They are not very reputable. We should all start spreading the word and make other people aware. So they can watch out for them.
I hope that Aizen can wait 3 hours before eating the sherbet. I bet he wanted it as soon as they got home. He is so cute. Did Steph ever get his hair cut? I bet he looks cute if she did. Hope that JJ is enjoying his time off from school. It will be nice if they come over and spend a lot of time with you while he is out of school.
Hope that your sil granddaughter has a nice day for her graduation. That is such an exciting day for all kids that age. We have a grand graduating next year. It will be fun to see her get her diploma. She has decided that she wants to be a doctor. I hope that she succeeds in her dreams. She is a smart kid. Do you know what your sil granddaughter wants to do after she graduates? They all have such big plans after they get out of high school.
The mint chip sounds really good. That should be a hit also. I bet all the kids enjoy coming around for the ice cream. I would not be able to get my grands to go home if I made ice cream.lol
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
Colleen
p.s. Do not let that place get your blood pressure up too high. You do not want to have problems with that on top of everything else.

Hi Dianne,
I am sorry to hear that your sciatica is acting up again. Do have something to take for it or some type of rub that will help ease the pain some? I have back problems and they are really hard to deal with at times. I go to the pain clinic though and I have therapy so it helps some. Trying to avoid surgery.
I love the way you have the table set with your new dishes. It is so pretty with the vase of flowers on there. That set is a lot prettier then it looks on tv. Your tropical pictures make a person feel like they are on the beach and laying on the beach. Wouldn’t that be nice right now. Our weather is really hot here. So anywhere there is a beach looks good to us right now. You are really good at decorating. You should have been an interior decorator. You are really good.
Can you see the fire works from your apartment? We usually go into town to watch them but this year we are supposed to go to my daughters. It will be nice. They live on the army base and we are going to watch the fire works there. They say that they usually have a really good display. It will be fun to be with the grand kids also. There are two of them and they are at the age where they really like fire works. They are 10 and 5.
Do not worry about reading all the posts. You can catch up anytime or just join in where we are now.
Take care of your back and we will talk to you later

Hi Gail,
I am just the opposite. I liked chocolate milk but not the white. It made me sick so did not drink it. My mom use to say it was all in my head so I could have the chocolate milk. She could be right. Still to this day cannot drink white milk. All of the kids liked it and still drink it. So at least I did not pass it on to them.
It is a shame that it is so hard to post things like that now. I guess this site has improved but it is hard to figure out how. I guess if we knew more about computers it would be easier. I give up it will never be that easy for me. I am not good with anything that you have to know and understand technology. I have trouble with the thing that makes Aliza’s bottles.
Well at least she got a treat. She is so funny but I guess like a lot of the three yr olds they would rather be doing something else after they have played for about 10minutes. It is hard to keep their minds on the game. Well at least she had fun and maybe enjoy it better next time. Those days are over for our grands and will not come around again until Aliza gets older.
The storms are passing us by also. We could use some rain right now. Everything is getting so dry. Even the grass is turning brown. It is so much different then last year. We have chances of rain all week long so hope one day we do get some rain. It was good that you were at Jenny’s the other night when it stormed. It is hard on her being so scared of a storm. At least it is easier if you are afraid of flying because you do not have to do it. There is no way you can avoid a storm.
That was cool that Piper won so many tickets. She was probably really excited. Sounds like they are having a really good time on their vacation. The motel that they are staying at sounds really nice. It is good that they have a water park inside the kids will be able to swim any time you do not have to worry about them getting too much sun. Piper will have all kinds of stories to tell you and Greg. She will keep you entertained. That was nice that all the kids went. They are all having a great time I am sure.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great day.
Colleen
p.s. I hope that he gets the results of the MRI soon. It is a pain having to wait.

Hi Gail,
I forgot about Sue starting the pole dancing thing. She use to post more then. I guess that a lot of people posted more then. It would be nice if some of them would come back. I guess times are changing and their lives have changed and they do not have enough time to post on here. Sure miss Debbie and hope that she is doing okay. Maybe when Sue retires she will join us more often.
I bet the kids are happy when their dad brings home the ice cream and the chocolate milk. Kids seem to like the chocolate milk more then the white milk. I know that at school they sell out on the chocolate milk way before the white. I guess the chocolate craving starts when we are kids and just keeps on into our adult hood.
I do not know who found her the jack in the box. It was not me. I am still looking for the thing that I want. It is hard to find them anymore. I wonder if they quit making them. There were four or five things that would pop up when you pushed a certain button. You could get all different things to pop up. Some were Disney characters or animals it just depended what on what you wanted. I am still looking. I did get her a top though. It said if Mom says no call 1-800 grandma. It was really cute it was a tank top. It will be nice on these hot days.
I agree with you Gail. Going upside down at our age is not a good thing. It would take some getting use to. They always take their time giving you the results of any test that they do. It would be nice if they would let you know right away. They let you sit and worry and think the worse til they finally call. Hope they find that it is something that therapy will take care of.
I cannot believe that Piper was wearing a skirt. She is going to be a fashion diva. She is so cute. Did she ever play or just stay with her dad or her mom? That is nice that Jenny and her sil are coaching the team. I cannot imagine trying to get these kids to play t ball. Especially if they have kids Pipers age and Lachlans age. There is a little bit of a difference there. I bet it was fun to watch.
That is nice that you are going to babysit the dogs for Jenny. They sound like cute dogs. The one that lived with you while Jenny was in college will probably remember being there. He will feel very comfortable. the other will know you and Greg and will not mind being there either. You will enjoy having the dogs there for awhile.Jenny will not worry about them knowing that they are with you and Greg. She really is scared of storms. It must be really hard on her if it storms and she is home by herself with the kids. I hope that they have a good time on their trip.
well that is all from here. Have a good night

Hi Adele
I am glad that you made it to the restaurant and home without getting stopped.Sounds like you had a car full and you had a nice time. That was nice that Johnny got to come over and be in the pool with the kids. What a fun day though. Glad that you got to go to lunch and you enjoyed that.
At least the shot went well and you have ice on it to keep it from hurting. Well at least calm the pain down a little. Having the shot is better then having a knee replacement. I do not know if I would let them do a knee replacement until it was absolutely necessary. When they have to start doing replacement surgery that is a mess. The only thing that I am missing is my gall bladder. That is the way that I would like to keep it.
Did sears leave before they did the job or was that when they were finished and then the comcast guys came? I hope that you catch the kids that are bashing all the mail boxes and egging the cars. They need to be punished for doing that. They should realize that it cost money to replace all of that and they should have to pay for the mailboxes. They should also have to come and wash all the cars that they egged. If they had to do that it would be a good punishment for them. I cannot imagine why they do stuff like that. What fun could that be. They need to be stopped and not get away with it.
The orange sherbet sounds really good. What time will it be ready? I hope that they like this better then the cinnamon ice cream. Both sound really good to me.
We did have a good day with Aliza. She was in such a good mood. Usually she is teething and she is so crabby. I guess her gums were not hurting as bad as usual. It was fun to hear her giggle and smile a lot. She does let you know when it is time for her nap. She even let me rock her and she went to sleep in my arms. I love when they do that. So I laid her in her crib and she was still sleeping when we left. It was a nice day with her.
Well that is about all from here. Hope they come soon to fix your tile in the kitchen. So you can have it all done and you kitchen will be finished.
Have a good night
Colleen
