Hi Gail,
You would think that they would want to have her driving herself to and from work. It sure would save a lot on gas if they would take her to get her license. They want her to take drivers ed. but they never get her signed up in time. Next year I may have to go to school and help her get signed up. We had this little ford that I wish we would have kept for her. Ron said that we cannot do that because then we would have to do that for the other grands and that would be expensive. So I know that he is right so I have not said anything else about it.
I had to watch Aliza and Owen today. It was not too bad Aliza slept most of the time. Owen decided that he was going to make lunch. So he got the gold fish crackers out and he mashed them up, then he got carrots out of the fridge and cut them up. He mixed that all together and added salt and pepper and that was lunch. He told me that it was good because it had vegetables in it. I had to laugh you cannot fight with logic like that. At least he was thinking healthy.lol
That is funny about the inveration table ending up in the basement. Our exercise equipment ends up in the back bedroom and then goes to the church auction. So we do not hang on to it for very long. It is funny how fast that stuff is out of here. We are not good at exercising.
The one that is married to Jenny McCarthy is Donnie Walhburg. The kids use to be big New Kids fans and so they kind of keep track of where they are now. Donnie is a pretty good actor.
I cannot believe that the dumb cardinal is still hanging around and banging into your window. Did he stick around all winter? You may have to catch him and take him off somewhere. You will have to wait until he knocks himself out before you can catch him though. I wonder if the conservationist could tell you something to help stop the bird from running into your windows. It might be worth checking into.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.

Hi Sue,
We will be praying for Jean and her family. What a terrible accident. I cannot imagine being trapped in the car for that long and have that many injuries. Please keep us posted on how she is doing.
Thanks again.
Colleen

Hi Adele,
I would be calling that back splash installer every half hour if it was me. They should have had that in and up when they said that they would. They know they have you because you have already picked out the counter tops and they are already in. You almost have to go with that back splash to match your counter.
You have the right idea. Butler would be great. Just as long as they all go home at the end of the day and do not come back until morning. It would not be worth it if they are under foot all night long. We do need our privacy.lol They can all leave after the dishes are done and everything is done around the house. Then we can just sit back and relax and not worry about them until the next morning.
Gails Piper is so cute. She is going to be something else when she grows up. She will be a blast and can you see her when she goes to college. She is such a little ham right now. She should go into acting she will be good at it.
It is nice that you got to see JJ today. It is a good thing that Aizen was not there because there were not any Nona cookies. He would have been disappointed again. Grand kids are such a joy and so much fun to have around.
Our moms would be upset if they lost one of us first. I have three older sisters and a brother that is 5 years younger then I am. If something happened to my brother she would not be able to take it.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.

Hi Gail,
It is Kylie that got the job at the movies. She will be a senior this year. She works in the lobby which means she can be taking tickets are sweeping the floor or anything. She just started Saturday and they will probably find a good spot for her and she will be happy. She likes it because she makes money. Now if she would just get her drivers license. I think that her dad is stopping her. He is afraid for her to start driving. She is not a bad kid so they should not worry about her.
I should probably do that with these bowls. I have already used just about all of my old tupper ware bowls. It was just really disappointing when the hefty bowls did not work like they were supposed to. I am so glad that you ladies told me about the lock and lock. Didn’t know if we should try them or not. All of you had such good luck with them that they are worth the price. You are right they are not very expensive.
I can just see you and Greg on that thing in the living room with Greg upside down and you guiding it. It is funny that he went all the way down on it before testing it to see if it would bother him. Men are so funny some times. I do not blame you for not getting on it. That is funny and good advice. Do not take health tips from a golf buddy.
I did get my Dans mixed up. I do not know why I thought it was Dan Hughes and not Dan Wheeler. That was me that got the two mixed up. I do not know why I thought that it was his wife.
Isn’t it fun to look out your window and see cows in your yard. Even if it is a calf. They can make as big a mess as a cow. It is not fun finding their little piles in the yard and have to clean it up. You sure do not want to step in it. Well if it keeps coming into the yard one day you can shoot it and have beef steaks. lol That was nice that Greg went over and fixed the fence. That man should appreciate it. Hope he thanks him.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.

Hi Sue,
Thank you for posting that from Mary Beth Rowe. I was really surprised when I heard that she was in an accident. I hope that she recovers soon. She is such a sweet person and she always has a smile on her face.

Hi Dianne,
I like the pictures of the flowers that you posted. That is a funny story about Dan Hughes. He is such a funny man anyway. It was sad when he lost his wife. I am glad that he stayed on QVC. I thought that he may leave and go on to something else. He is such a good host. It is such a mess with all the hosts on that channel having problems. I had no idea that Mary Beth was in an accident. She is always such a cheerful person I hope recovers soon.
That is nice that you have that farmers market across the street from where you live. It makes it very convenient for the people that live in your building to get fresh veggies. It is a good time of year for some of the veggies to come in.They have some people that are selling honey at the farmers market right now. I love fresh honey.
I like you bowls that you have on here they are really pretty. Temptations always has such pretty designs on their dishes. I only own one set from the temptations line. I just have so many dishes just do not have room for anymore. I did try the lock and lock and I just love them. Am thinking of getting rid of the Hefty storage bowls that I bought and just getting lock and lock to replace them. The hefty bowls have a lock on the sides of the bowls but they do not always work like they should. I really like the lock and lock.
I remember when you went thru all of that mess when you had to move out of your apartment. You really had a mess when you got back home. It was nice when they got it all cleaned up. Hope you do not have to go thru that again.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.

Hi Barbara,
I hope that Lisa moves soon. It is hard when she is living in your sons house and he is sleeping on a friends couch. I will be praying for you and and your family and that you solve this problem quickly. She really needs to move and get out on her own. It is a shame she does not have any family around to help her out.
It would be nice to have the crawfish and the rest of the meal but you lost me when you said that Ron could take some of Jerry’s junk home with him. That is one thing that we do not need. lol It would be nice to just sit in your yard and laugh and talk. It is going to be so nice for you and Jerry to have all of your kids home for awhile. It has not happened for a long time has it? It is hard when one of the kids live so far away. I am really excited for you. Sorry about the junk but Jerry can keep his but will gladly give you some of Ron’s.
Ron is a man before his time. Super glue has been a main staple in our medicine cabinet for a long time. I am not sure that it is as sanitary as what they use in the hospital but he still uses it. he has not used duct tape like Gary has. He is a little more daring then Ron. I will not tell him that though or Ron will be using that next. That is odd how they can think up all this crazy junk but cannot take out the trash.
Have you noticed that they are delivering the Quacker stuff a lot faster then they use to? I cannot believe that I have gotten all the things that I ordered from them already. It is really nice though. I tried the lock and lock bowls and I really like them. I am thinking of getting rid of the bowls that I have and changing over to lock and lock. They seal so much better then the ones that I have. We bought some of the hefty bowls and they do not work as well as they say they would.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.

Hi Christine,
I really like your necklaces. You really do a good job. What did you sell before you started selling your jewelry. People are getting into homemade things again. They are a lot better made and they are a lot prettier then the ones made in a factory. You must take after you mom. You and her both are good gardeners and crafters. You should open a stand at a craft fair or at any kind of a fair. You would do well.
Enjoy the rest of your week-end.

Hi Adele,
That is a mess. I hope that they come soon and get the back splash so you do not have that mess for a long time. Sounds like the plumber and the counter people have their act together and got things done there. Now if they would just finish and you can get your kitchen back to normal and you cna go on with your daily life.
I was cleaning house today and will have to do more tomorrow. It is a pain not being able to do all of it in one day. It is hard to get old and not much fun. It beats the alternative though. I just feel bad about complaining about it. I do not have the mess that you have. I just have the everyday household mess and have to clean it up all the time. That is a never ending job that dishes and laundry. We really do need a maid that would do all of that and then a cook that would cook all the meals. Well the cook would not work out for you the way you like to cook. The maid would be nice though. It would be so nice to have the money for all of that. I guess we were all just born good looking and not rich.lol I cannot remember who use to say that.
It rained here this morning but the sun came out this afternoon. It was really nice but now it is getting humid. Hope that it does not mean we are going to get more rain. It will be nice if we would just have a nice few days.
Thank you Adele for the condolences. It is hard to have your cousins die. Guess that it just makes you think that we are getting older and it could be us next. My mom told us that we have to stick around as long as she does. We have to do what she tells us.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good week-end.
Colleen
