Hi Christine,
Your cat is so cute. Animals seem to figure out when there if something with us. They are a lot smarter then people give them credit for. Hope that Scott finds a job soon. Jobs are scarce here also. He has to just hang in there.
Have a good night
Colleen

Hi Dianne,
I love you new dishes. You are right. TV did not do them justice. The bowls are so cute. I like the way that they look like a rose opened up and then the sides have so much detail on them. Those are just really pretty.
If Albany is doing all that shopping at home while she is off she will have to come back to work soon.lol It will be nice to have all of them back again. It is just unreal that so many are out because of sickness or injuries. I hope that they all get better and stay that way for a long time. I wonder how many kids Albany has. They are always talking about she has a houseful.
I did not watch the q today either. The jewelry shows are not all that interesting to me either. I like the fashion days and food shows. I really do not need to be watching the food shows. I bought some of the popcorn that they had on the other day. I like that it does not have any hulls. I just hope that it tastes as good as it look. I tried to order some sugar free candy but they did not the kind I wanted so I am on wait list. I hope that it comes soon. I do not know why they do not sell more sugar free candy or anything sugar free. They always seem to sell out but they just do not do it.
How is your back doing now? Hope that it is feeling better. Have a good night.

Hi Adele,
I am doing the happy dance for you I am so glad that they came this morning and put that in. Do you like how it looks? The new lighting that you are going to get sounds really nice also. Your kitchen is going to look so much different when you get everything done. That is nice that the electrician is careful about getting things all over the place and making a mess. You were lucky to find him.
That may help if you have a camera pointing out there. Hopefully it would catch the ones that are smashing the mailboxes. It is a federal offense if they hit them because it is dealing with the US mail. I am not sure if you have to have mail in it or not. It has been awhile since we have had to deal with that. I just hope that they catch them.
I do not know how they figure that out about rainfall shortages. We get so much rain that rivers are up and the low water bridges are covered with water and then they say we did not get enough. I wonder if they know what they are talking about. According to our weather men we are supposed to have a dry summer. We will see. They have predicted rain a couple of times this week but we did not get any. So this time they may be right.
Do you have plans for Father’s day? Ours have kind of fizzled out. None of the kids are coming but that is just how it is this year. We are supposed to meet Danyielle (my oldest) for lunch tomorrow so she can celebrate with her dad. Mandy the middle daughter wants us to come over after we go out to eat and have dessert with them and Melissa the youngest is staying at the base. Her husband has been out in the field and will just be getting home tomorrow or Saturday. So he will be to tired to make the trip and this way the kids will get to spend time with him. So our day will be just like any other day.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

Hi Dianne,
What was wrong with Albany? They are going to run out of hosts soon. Some of them better start coming back or they will be in trouble on the q.lol I am so glad that you like your new dishes. Cannot wait to see a picture of them. I am glad that you are pleased with them.
Our rain has finally stopped and it is just hot and humid here. I will be glad when it cools down a little bit. I have got a feeling that we are going to see some days in the 100’s this year. That will be so hot.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.

Hi Gail,
I have no idea where the name Andy came from. I have never asked. There is no telling what he would tell us thinking that he is funny. It is funny how kids think that their nickname is better then their given name. Jenny is cute though and so is Lolly. They thought that Aliza would not have a nickname because her name is so short. We find ourselves calling her Liza and the kids at school may start calling her Liz. I do not think that there is a name out there that they cannot think of a nickname for.
I hope that things go well for Greg with the MRI. They have done two on my one for the back and then one for the neck. They were checking to make sure that there was no damage to the neck. I wonder if they will do that to Greg also. My back problem was from an incident at work. That might be why they did the neck also. It is good that you can get Greg to go to the doctor. At least he is finding out what is going on with his health. The place where I go to see the doctor has male doctors there also. He does not have to go to the one that I am going to. She won’t care if he goes to her or not. The nurse told me that they are getting a lot of new patients now also. They have some from the doctors at the hospital that closed and there are a lot of people that are leaving the place where I was going to see the doctor.
It is funny that my daughter thinks that I am old and do not know the modern methods of caring for a baby but she asked me to babysit on the 25th of this month. They are going out with a bunch of friends on the train to Herman Mo. They have some good wineries there and they want to go to one of them. She is celebrating her 40th birthday soon. Won’t be long and she will be the older generation.lol
Danyielle said that Aliza was cranky all night. She was really hurting. She was better today though. Just wish that tooth would come thru and she can be out of pain. Have you worn the outfit with the cherry on it yet? I wore mine with the palm tree and it is so comfortable. You are really going to like it.
Well that is about it from here. Have a good night.

Hi Adele,
They have started putting concrete around the mail boxes around here. We have not gone that far but it may be a good idea. Ron thinks that if we do that and the kids get hurt the parents will sue us for it. I do not see how they could but you never know.
Bobby has such a negative attitude.lol This is going to be the one to make it. It was lucky that he went outside and saw the car it is a shame that he could not get the license plate number. . That is a mess to get off. They usually do not do that unless it is Halloween. The police patrol around here that night so they do not do that as much. They need to find things for these kids to do other then drive around and cause trouble. Maybe not let them take the car as often. It is a shame that the parents do not pay more attention to their kids.
Finally the time has come for the back splash. I hope they do a good job and get it done fast. It will be nice for you to be able to get back to normal and not have all that stuff to worry about. It is going to be so pretty when it is all done.
It is really hot here and the rain went around us. So there is no telling when we will get more rain. I guess that it is good that we got all of that earlier in the spring.
That is about all from here. Have a good night.

Hi Barbara,
You have a some really great things happening and some things that are not too great. Just be happy that your son is home and that Joey is back in his own home and all of that is over with. That is so great that your son is there and spending some time with you by himself. You both needed it. The baby shower for Neil sounded really nice. Was his wife there for that or did she have to work? I bet that was a big surprise when he saw all of you walking in the room. Hope they got a picture of that. It will be something that all of you will cherish. That was so nice that they invited you and Jerry and the boys to come and join them. It shows how much they think of you also. They worked with you and wanted you to be there.
It is hard to break up with someone that you have been so close to. It is like you and Jerry are breaking up with Lisa also. She has been so close for so long. It was nice that Joey did have that meal with her to say good bye. I do hope that both of them find someone to love and be happy with. It is time for them to move on.
We will put Jerry’s mom on the prayer list. We started another one and if you get time and want to add anyone else it is in the discussion section under general quacker chatter. Just says prayer list. Will add Joey and Lisa on there also.
That is sad that Jerry’s mom thinks that she has to move. I wonder if one of his brothers are calling her and saying things to her. That is sad if they are. Jerry and you are taking such good care of her and she seems to be doing so well. I hope that things check out with her at the doctors. One blessing is that Jerry has got to spend so much time with her and got to know her again.
Do not worry about catching up with us. You can do that when things slow down. By then all of our news will be different. So you can just start from there. It will not be too much longer and itty bitty will be here and you will be busy spoiling him. You will have so much fun.
Well that is about all from here. Have fun with your sons.
Colleen
