Hi Adele,
Greg’s back isn’t worse-it was just acting up again. And I guess the pain goes down his leg from the disc pressing in his back. He actually didn’t finish 18 holes yesterday but he is out there trying again this morning. The man loves his golf!
You know I don’t know why dogs are getting so much cancer. In our particular case I doubt it is from pesticides as we live in the country so our yard is “au natural.” Plus the flea preventative that I use is an oral one. I think some breeds are prone to cancer so that would kind of be in their DNA. Abby was half Golden Retriever and they have so much cancer that they are sometimes called “the cancer dog.” It’s a shame too as Goldens are so smart and sweet. It might be environmental or nutritional-who knows. Just like who knows why when we were kids no one had peanut allergies or no kids were autistic-although maybe there were autistic kids back then and they were just called trouble makers or something else. Maybe they just didn’t have a diagnosis for autism back then-I don’t really know. I think a lot of the allergies have to come from something in the environment-I wonder if they will ever figure it out.
I think you and Gary look like a very handsome happy couple in your picture and definitely the most patriotic people in the room. I don’t really see the outside(except for the festive shirts) I just see two beautiful caring kind people who look very happy to me. What more could you want.
We had a wonderful dinner in a nice little French restaurant with out friends last night. The food was excellent and we had a great time talking and laughing. Instead of patriotic I wore-wait for it-butterflies!!! What a shocker! I had a butterfly top and even some crop pants with a butterfly down by the ankle.
You are right-Enzo’s sisters must be fraternal twins as they look nothing alike. They did look pretty in their white dresses. Now you have to excuse my ignorance. Did the rules of when you make your first communion change? It seems like I was 7 and in second grade back when I made mine. Enzo’s sisters look older than that so i must have missed something over time. Do you know when things changed? It was probably 30 years ago or something and I totally missed it. I should have asked my friend Nan last night as she is not a lapsed Catholic like we are. She would know about any and all changes.
I hope that you got your barbecue done before the grill gave out. We have a garage and a barn but we still keep our grill out on the deck all year long because we use it in the winter too. You are right though cheap or expensive does not make much difference as they do not last being out in the elements all year long.
Enjoy your day and rest up from all that cookie baking.
GailWell said, Adele.
Lest we forget…
Hi Colleen,
Thanks for the item number. I saw those outfits on AM Style-I think. They all just looked so summery. I’m glad one called your name-they were all very cute. I am going to get the cherry one, I think. I do like red but I liked all the colors in that set-each was pretty in it’s own way. I like the palm tree one that you ordered too. And the pink looked pretty on Angel and Leah was wearing the black hibiscus top. We will all be looking very summery and very patriotic.
It is true about getting advice about products from each other. it’s good to hear from someone else’s personal experience with something. Speaking of which that TSV that they had a couple of days ago with the hat and the cooling cloths. I got those cloths last year to take to Disney. Well as far as I’m concerned I could have taken any piece of material and wetted it and it would have done just as much good-which is none. Now I’m not sure if this was the same brand but if it was-they do nothing unless i did something wrong although i followed the directions to wet it and snap it and it had no cooling qualities over and above being a wet cloth-in my opinion.
I hope you get your AC in soon. I am so spoiled as soon as it hit 80 on it went.
A couple years ago they had the DWTS summer tour at the Coronado in Rockford. I will have to check and see if Maks and Val are coming there. I just discovered a new dinner theater close to us. I think they just opened the beginning of May. It’s close to where we have our boat and I noticed when we took the boat up that the Pancake house that used to be in that building for years and years was now gone and the place was all remodeled. So I noted the name and looked it up online and saw that they have made it into a dinner theater. I looked at the pictures and they did an extensive remodel and it looks beautiful inside. Anyway, I’m going to order some tickets so that we can try it out sometime and see how it is. It will be nice having something like that close by if they can make a go of it. That area has a lot of tourists in the summer so I hope that they will be able to succeed.
Greg did go to the doctor for his back and she did give him a muscle relaxer that’s not supposed to make you groggy. i don’t know if he has been taking them or not. He has been going to physical therapy and was doing better. I guess the pain goes down his leg. I will try and remember to tell him to ice again if he has another problem.
I too am so glad that I met everyone on here. Gosh I think it’s been six years now. You all have become so special to me and such a big part of my life. I always look forward to hearing what everyone is up to and we have such fun chatting about everything and anything. Thank you all for being my friends.
We are meeting friends for dinner tonight so that should be fun. They will be leaving to go to their home up north for the summer soon-so we won’t see them until we go up in August-so we thought we would get together before then and do something.
We had a storm come through last night. I’ll bet Jenny was glad that we came over as she doesn’t like storms so it probably helped with us being over there. The opening day of the pool was yesterday so she took the kids there-she said it wasn’t as crowded as she thought it would be but maybe people were doing other things on the long weekend. Adam is supposed to til the garden for Greg this afternoon but right now it’s starting to get overcast. I hope that it doesn’t rain and he can get it done other wise we may never have a garden. Greg is out golfing right now and won’t be home until afternoon.
Next Friday is the ONP golf outing and Greg usually gets teamed with some former sports player on his foursome so that is lots of fun for him. Plus he has to squeeze in that trip to Houston somewhere this week too. He is going to be one very busy and very tired man. He tried getting out of the trip but they said no way-it’s big a customer and so you can’t really tell them no.
Hope you’re barbecuing up something good.
GailHi Adele,
I think Robert was separated but not actually divorced yet when he met Kym on the show. What I don’t know is who actually wanted the separation him, his wife or both. In any case I hope all three will find themselves in a happy place in their lives.
I must say I’ll bet your cookies must have looked just lovely on the tables for the communion-all set out in those frilly little cupcake holders. I hope maybe you took a picture there. You are really an angel for doing all that. I think at this point in time that would be beyond my capabilities.
I think Rocky has lived so long because he is half shitzu and they are a very long lived breed. Poor Belle and Abby got cancer and only lived until 12. Cancer is so prevalent in so many dogs. I hope in the future they find better ways of treating it.
You and Colleen were lucky to get your tops early. That’s okay-I will wear the Americana all summer long. Yesterday I wore a bumblebee Americana one.
That’s funny about changing your top every time you pee. It’s like me with the Christmas tops. Changing them for breakfast , lunch and dinner for the month of December. lol
Last night Piper was in rare form-standing on the ottoman going on and on about the story of how they play dungeons and knights and save the princess. I asked her some question about what she was saying and says-“I’m making it up!” The child is such a ham that she just cracks me up-so different from her mother and her older sister. She really loves all eyes on her. lol I love to see kids who are so unselfconscious-I wish we could take some of that ability with us as adults. Just doing our own thing and not caring what anyone else thinks.
GailHi Colleen,
I’m sorry that’s Ron’s friend and BIL are having so many problems right now. I’m sure Ron is upset by all that. You’ll have to be extra nice to him-but not too nice otherwise he will get suspicious. lol
I really like the lock and locks too. They are so much easier to snap open and closed than some of the other plastic containers. And actually they are really pretty economical as I think you get a lot for your money with them.
I wouldn’t worry about your arms flapping in the breeze. It’s just too hot in the summer not to wear short sleeves. Now I no longer wear tanks but as long as my upper arm is covered I like to be as comfortable as possible in the summer.
You know I thought I heard that Peta was going on tour with Maks and Val but I could be imagining things too. It would be nice if Maks and Derek would come back sometime but I think that right now they are busy with other projects so maybe they are moving on. You can’t blame them especially if it is something that would further their careers.
I don’t know if that shopping spree contest is still on. I thought it would go on for a year like the previous contest but I don’t really know for sure. I never notice any announcements-but I really don’t look for them either. lol
We were supposed to do something today but Greg’s back is hurting again so we will probably just go over to Jenny’s later as Adam is working today and we didn’t go over last night. Tomorrow we are meeting friends for dinner and Monday we don’t have any plans. Maybe just laze around.
I wonder if Adele got all those cookies baked. That was a big order! She is probably tired today. I hope that she didn’t overdo it.
Have a safe and fun weekend.
GailHi Dianne,
How nice of them to have a vet clinic right at your building. It’s so much easier on the animals.
I have used Philosophy products for years and years. I use the purity made simple to clean my face and the hope in a jar to moisturize. I use some other products too and some of the shower gels and the fragrances. I don’t know anything different but i think it works well. Have you tried any of the oil of Olay products? I think they are pretty good and are less costly. Hope that you find something that will do the trick.
GailHappy 17th Birthday, Rocky! We love you!
Hi Adele,
Debbie from Oregon, Debra from Indiana and Nancy from Penn (I think) all met up and went to a live show together a few years back. I still have the copy of that show on my DVR as Greg was supposed to figure out a way to transfer that onto DVD so I could give each of them a copy and he never has. Hope springs eternal! lol I think Sue might have driven over for a live show at another time if I remember correctly-she might have met up with some people from the cruise. She can tell you about it as she comes on here sometimes.
I imagine that you are up to your elbows in flour right now. Good thing the kitchen tear down wasn’t at the same time. You are an angel to bake all those cookies for the communion.
I don’t think my sister is actually teaching the dancing-I think she is part of some board or committee and has been doing some fundraising for the program.
Somehow I’m thinking your plan of the simple removal of the plastic protecting the stuff in the cabinets might end up being more complicated than you envisioned. Isn’t that always how it is? The best layed plans…
It’s funny how you thought it was so sweet about Robert falling in love with Kym on national TV and I kept wondering about how his exwife was feeling if he was the one who initiated the divorce. Seeing her husband fall for someone else on TV. Perhaps you are a romantic and I am a cynic. lol
It will be June next week-so when do your kids get out? Ours got out yesterday. A bit earlier than usual because they used no snow days last year. That must be a first.
Hope that you are not so tired from all the baking that you still will be able to enjoy the long weekend. I am still trying to find the little flags and pinwheels that i bought and put in a “safe” place. lol
