Hi Dianne,
I don’t think you stepped on anyone’s toes-I’m not even sure what you’re referring too. I don’t do twitter, Facebook, instagram or that stuff either. No one really cares what I am doing every minute of the day or what I am eating in a restaurant or whatever the posts are on those things. Plus my mind only has so much space in it for technology. lol I would do Skype (I would have to learn) with a loved one cross country. I guess we should think about doing it with our son in NM if he has a computer. Our friends Skype with their grandson in California all the time. It is nice for things like that.
I like your idea for the indoor picnic. I’m sure your friend will really appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Fortunately we have missed all the storms around here.
Your rose festival sounds beautiful. A little different than our Milk Days festival during the same time period.

P.S. Love the butterflies. Of course! lolHey Adele,
I believe Shark Tank Robert is engaged to Kym Johnson. She has a big honkin’ diamond too.
I think the media did pick up a little on the remark by Nyle as Jenny who does not watch DWTS had heard something about it. Also, Len once made reference to it in something he said.
Looking forward to seeing Simon again on AGT. I never thought I would like Howard Stern as I just knew him from his radio persona-but he was entirely different on AGT. I think deep down he must be a softy as he and his wife are big into cat rescue. Love Howie Mandel-he is so mischievous-he makes me laugh. We were lucky enough to see him do stand up in Vegas. We also saw Joan Rivers do her act at a local theater. I’m so glad that we went.
Hot and muggy here too.
GailHi Adele,
Yes, I actually ordered the butterfly shirt in the pink and the seafoam. I was waiting for that shirt as I had seen it on one of those teases where they show the pencil drawings of future designs-and it was embedded in my brain. lol That two piece set with the beach chair with the clouds on the tank was so cute but I don’t wear two pieces like that in the summer so I didn’t get it. I’m hoping they do something else with that cloud design as a background sometime. I suppose I should ask Patrick or someone to pass that request on to a design team member.
Before I forget everyone remember to go on this site and enter the new Americana contest that they are having. The sign up period is short so don’t forget. They are giving a lot of neat Americana themed things away-perfect for this summer.
I am fine with Niall winning. I think my attitude toward him changed when he made that remark about Val being his biggest competition. It made him sound so conceited. Jenny watched him on America’s Top Model and she said he didn’t seem that way on there. So maybe it was just one of those things that people say that they wish that they could take back-so I need to give him the benefit of the doubt. It doesn’t take away from the fact that he did an amazing job dancing without being able to hear the music. It’s probably also a testament to Peta’s teaching ability.
Speaking of disabilities and dance that reminds me about my sister. She has been ballroom dancing for 25+ years. Now that she is retired she got involved with this group that teaches dance to children with disabilities in this case mostly kids with Down’s Syndrome. I wish I could post the video-it is so sweet.
You know I was just thinking. This will be 50 years since I graduated high school. There has been a reunion every ten years and maybe even some in between but I have received nothing about a 50th. That would be weird-or maybe no one is volunteering to organize it anymore. Speaking of school, today is the last day of school in Harvard. We all love to tell people that our kids are Harvard graduates. lol They don’t have to know it’s Harvard, Illinois. lol
I hope that you will get some good weather for the weekend.
GailHi Colleen,
I did get the set of shirts with the butterfly and also the red and navy set. I always like red and navy in the summer. I am so glad that they have lots more short sleeve tees this summer. In the heat the 3/4 sleeves are too long-especially on me. I will wear them too but I prefer the short sleeves for summer. I do like the longer sleeves if I am in the car for a long time though as my arms seem to get cold the way the AC vents are in Greg’s car. I don’t think I remember the flag jeans-that must have been from before the Dream Jeannes when she did a lot of pants with the different little things on them-all that preppy stuff.
I don’t know if younger people get married too quickly or what. Maybe they just go in with the attitude that if it doesn’t work they will divorce. However, I don’t think it’s just younger people. It seems like most of the people that I went to high school with are divorced. I would say there is me and about ten other people in their original marriages. Sometimes I think part of it is the luck of finding a good person the first time. Even in my family my brother and sister are both divorced-now on Greg’s side everyone is married to their first spouse except his sister but that’s only because she was widowed and he really was the love of her life.
I didn’t know that you had gone back to school after you married. That must have been hard with a husband and kids. However, it also seems that the more mature students are more driven too.
Peta is engaged to Max. They have a separate dance show that they do in theaters and I think he proposed during one of those if I remember correctly. I imagine their first dance at their wedding will be a good one! lol
GailHi Dianne,
That is a good idea to use your Temptations in your home decor.
I am on Pinterest but for some reason I don’t go there that much. At first they would send me all these ideas but since I wasn’t very active now they just sort of ignore me. I will have to check it out again now that you have reminded me. I guess there’s only so many hours in the day to play around online and I know sometimes once I start browsing around the time just gets away from me. I am a big reader so I can lose myself in some of the online bookstores or a place like Goodreads.
We are hot and muggy and stormy here.
GailHi Adele,
I don’t watch The Carmichael’s so you will have to tell me what they were discussing. It must have been good if even Gary laughed.
I thought that maybe you had overdone it when you listed all the chores that you had done. I have to space things out now-or I just get too tired. Plus I am much more flexible about cleaning than I used to be. Lot’s of stuff I just gloss over. Give it a “lick and a promise.”
I do like the term generously built. Now when you called Barbara “Missy” I think of it as a Chinese term. lol Maybe that’s just me.
Here’s what happened last night. I fell asleep on the couch quite early. So I woke up at midnight and saw the end of the Quacker show. I had not seen the Voice or DWTS but they were recorded. I went into the living room to order my TSV off my laptop and left the TV on in the next room. Well the Quacker recording ended and I guess it switched over to the ending of some news program which just then happened to announce the winner of DWTS. So I knew the ending before I watched it Bummer. Gotta go and order this butterfly tee. See ya.
GailHi Barbara,
I have not figured out the point of the howdy thing other than if you click on it you can go directly to your page. The thing that baffles me is the number inside the blue circle. I wonder if that indicates the number of people online at this site. Maybe I will have to break down and ask James.
I cannot believe that young woman asked you that. I think I would have just stood there with my jaw on the floor. Good for you to come up with a snappy comeback. How rude was that! Her Momma needs to teach her some manners!
I bought a point and shoot camera to take on the trip to Disney last year. I had some other larger cameras but I wanted a small very portable one. I think it takes great pictures and is very easy to operate. They still have it on the Q item # E227751 and it’s $200.00. The only bad thing is the pictures have a high resolution so if you want to post here you can’t post it as an attachment but you can post the pictures on your home page. Cynthia once explained to me how to post them as an attachment as there is a way to to lower the resolution but I never did quite figure it out. But you can post on your own page and people can look at them there.
GailHi Dianne,
That oceanfetti is really pretty. I can see why you like it so much. I too am drawn to turquoise and it’s varying shades of blue. Summer has finally hit here. Upper 80’s and high humidity.
GailAdele,
I’m not on Facebook but here’s what I was thinking about getting a picture from there to here. Couldn’t you save it to your picture files and then bring it over to here as an attachment. I know Greg is on Facebook and I see that he saves the picture whenever Jenny posts one of the kids. Just a thought-I have no idea if that is a possibility.
