Hi Adele,
I like you new mail box. The frog is really cute. It would not pay to get one of those here. They would smash before it was on the pole a week. It has been getting better though. They did catch one bunch of kids doing it and they filed charges. I never did hear what happened but I imagine it scared them enough that they did not do it again. But there is the new generation of mail box bashers.lol
Sounds like you and Nancy had a good afternoon. How nice that the three of you got to have lunch together. It is nice to get out and have lunch with friends. I have not done that for awhile. Will have to do it again soon. They go every Tuesday and Thursday and you just show up if you want to go.
That is aggravating when you work so hard to make something and it does not turn out the way you want it to. It must have been good though sounds like they ate it. The mint sounds really good. Did the mixed come with the ice cream maker or do they give you a book of ideas on what kinds that you can make? The kids are not here often enough for me to buy and ice cream maker for them. I guess we could take it to their housed when we go there.
That is a shame that you and Gary did not get to go out to dinner with your friends the other evening. That is so aggravating when you get a yard sale all set up and then do not have a good sale. It seems like you put in all that work for nothing. It is hard to know when it is a good time to have a sale anymore. People are picky about the weather now when they go yard saleing. They do not go out if it is too hot or if it is raining or if it is too cold. We live to far out in the country to have a yard sale.
It is so hot here. It has been in the 90’s and no sign of it cooling down. Oh well it is the start of the summer. We have not found anymore of those worms on our trees thank heavens. That is all we need to have. Those stupid things killing our trees.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.

Hi Gail,
Yes Mandy and Andy are married. We have all teased them about their names for a long time. So now she wants to be called Amanda but I am her mom and have been calling her Mandy all of her life. If one of them has to change their name let it be Andy that is not his first name anyway. His name is Christopher. They could have called him Chris. Kids they just do not listen.lol
It is cheaper to pay the fine then it is to pay for the insurance. This did not work out as well as they said it would. It is just sad and I do not like it at all. I got a letter wanting me to let them know that I have insurance besides medicare. I took it into the Social Security office and they took care of it for me. It is crazy.
You are lucky that you can get Greg to go to the doctor. Ron will not make an appointment or switch doctors. He is still going to that quack that I was going to. So now I have to work on that. Are you having trouble with your arthritis or is this just a regular exam? Hope that it is just your normal exam and not some type of problem. I hope that you both check out okay.
We were lucky that Andy did not have any bad effects from that medicine. This was an antibiotic so it would not be a normal pill that he would take. So he did not know.
Sounds like the hosts on QVC are having their troubles. I hope that no one else gets sick or is in an accident.
I wore my new outfit today and it is comfortable. I had to watch Aliza today and it was nice to be able to bend and pick things up that she dropped. She really liked the palm trees on the top and the pants. She tried to grab them but found out that they did not come off. She was having a bad day today. She is teething and she was really hurting today. It breaks your heart that you cannot help them just give them the medicine and if that does ot work there is nothing else. When her mom came home though she did smile. She looked at me like I could go home now because her mom was there. She did start fussing again before I left so it wasn’t just me. Even though I am getting old and do not know as much about babies anymore. That is funny even though that is a problem she still has me babysit.lol
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.

Hi Sue,
Thanks for the updates on all the hosts. I had heard that Carolyn was out but did not hear why. It will be nice when all the surgery is over for her. Will have to pray for her.
If you are interested we did start a new prayer list. It is under discussions so if you are interested and want to add anyone please do. If you do not want to say why they need prayer that is fine. Are if you do not want to add a name that is fine also. Just put for a friend or family.
Jacque is lucky that she was not hurt any worse then that. We will have to put all of them on the prayer list. Shawn is another one that I have not seen for awhile. Maybe I am just missing her when she is on air.
Thanks for all the information.

Hi Sue,

Hi Christine,
I agree with Adele. Sometimes you have to go down a size in tops in quacker. It just depends on how much room you want. I like my shirts a little roomy so stick with my size. The ones that cling you can stick with your size or go up a size. I just stick with my size. It is hard to pick the right size that you want at first. You will get use to the way they size things though.

Hi Adele,
I am glad that you finally have your pool straightened out. The kids will be excited when they get to swim in it. That is if it ever stops raining and staying cool. This weather is crazy. We are in hot weather here. It has been in the 90’s here and not showing any signs of cooling off. They said that we will have a cool down on Thursday and that is going to be in the upper 80’s. That is not much of a cool down. It was supposed to rain here today but the clouds came and went without a drop falling on the ground. So now they are saying that it will come later tonight. So we will see.
I have never made ice cream before. I did not know that you had to cook it first. The only ice cream that we ever make is snow ice cream. The kids use to really like that when they were kids. We do not make it anymore though. The only thing is you have to put a bowl out there to catch the snow. You sure do not want to get it off the ground.lol Your ice cream must be really good you are getting requests for it. Everything that you make must be really good. Aizen will have something else to yum about.
I ordered the hamburgers from them and they were terrible. They shrank up to nothing. On the show they show them so thick after they are cooked. I guess if you want them well done that they shrink up you have to eat them rare. I do not like to see any pink in my meat when I am eating it. I have not idea about their steaks because I have never tried anything from them again since that happened. I have often thought about ordering the chicken they have on their. It is not Kansas City Steak though. I cannot remember what the brand name is. They always look so good. Some of it is stuffed and others are just breaded. Wish that I could remember the name of that company.
I did watch the Quacker show. They had a lot of cute things on it. I did not order anything though. I really like that stripped top with the lace over the sequins but keep putting off buying it. It has been around for a long time. It will probably be discontinued before too long. They have had it for a couple of years. I love it in the purple. I ordered a pair of the light grey dj. They are really pretty. I like them a lot better then the white and you can wear them year round. I am thinking of getting a pair in capris.
Well that is all from here. Thanks for putting me on the prayer list. I do not know why that keeps coming up on my page and not on the discussion page. Guess I did something wrong.

Hi Christine,
My problem is from a gall bladder surgery that I had years ago. I have to take protonix for it and it sometimes does not help.Think that I have been taking it for too long. I will probably have to have them clean out the bile duct again. That usually helps for awhile. Your stomach problems sound a lot worse then mine.
