    Hi Colleen,
    Thank you for the item #. I got an e-mail this morning but it didn’t have the number and it just shows you one shirt when you click on it. So I checked out the designs with the number you gave me but didn’t order yet as I’m not sure if that is the TSV price or not right now. So I will wait until tonight I am eying the butterfly(of course) and the flag set.
    I guess the reason that the guy had violins and such is because it is supposed to be blues and chamber music combined. If it was the old site I could post a sample video. I miss that.
    I did used to water ski as a kid but i haven’t done that in many many years. I won’t even go on the tube that Greg pulls for the kids anymore. Now I am just a passenger in the boat and that’s fine with me.
    Time does really go by so quickly. I feel it goes quicker now than when I was 40 or 50. You were younger getting married at 19-I was 24-which back then was a big difference. While you were a married woman I was in college going through my “rebellious” stage. lol
    There is just something so comfortable being in a long time marriage-it’s like living with your best friend-at least for me. We all took a leap of faith 40+ years ago. We picked good, honest reliable men. We were lucky.

    Hi Adele,
    I hope that you are over your heart palpitations and jealousy from Barbara’s story. I didn’t even know who Jesse Stone was-lol There is only so much TV that a person can watch.
    I have no idea who will win DWTS-it could be any one of them. I like them all but I like Paige and Mark just a little bit better.
    Tonight is the finale of DWTS and The Voice so my DVR will be working overtime. lol And of course they are both from 8 til 10.
    Wow! You really are going to be baking up a storm come Friday. You will have to take the rest of the weekend off after all that.
    Enjoy your diner with your friend tonight. It’s always so nice to get out with a friend.
    My ankle is about the same. It will never be better unless I have the surgery to fuse my ankle which i don’t really want to do. They will not do surgery to fix the tendons on someone with RA even if it is well controlled so the only choice would be fusing the bones of the ankle. So I just wear the brace when I have to walk a lot and as long as I don’t have a lot of pain I will count my blessings.

    Hi Barbara,
    We will be married 43 years June 23 so both you and Colleen beat me.
    I loved the story about Tom Selleck. Poor Adele will probably be so jealous. I guess Jerry was also-but he won you in the end!
    I think the blue camo Lug bag will be great for a baby bag for Neal. I know Jenny’s husband had a separate baby bag from her’s I think his was either black or camo too. Actually, I think the whole idea is so cute-when we had our babies our husband’s never considered having their own diaper bags-lol it just kind of gives me a chuckle. Actually I always said if Greg had been in charge I’m afraid that he would have set the baby carrier on the top of the car and driven off. The man can’t even keep track of his reading or sunglasses-surely he would have lost one of the babies somewhere. lol So what other things have you gotten for the baby? What will you be called-the grands call me Gigi.

    Hi Dianne,
    The way that the pictures attach on this site is less than ideal. They posted much better on the old site. Plus I can only attach pictures from my phone-the ones from my camera have too high a resolution so it is sometimes frustrating. Your home looks very beachy and summery right now. How lovely!

    Hi Colleen,
    I didn’t get the TSV e-mail yet so can you share the item # so that I can check it out please? I think I saw an add with the navy one that you ordered and I like that the flag is just on the shoulder.
    I’m glad that you had a good time shopping. I’ll bet Aliza liked your red nose. It sounds like you got some leggings maybe. You have to wear a long shirt over them-they can be pretty comfy as long as the material is not that really thin stuff.
    We went to a new restaurant Saturday night and it was really good so we will have to add it to our list of places to go. We actually ate outdoors as it was a lovely evening. Not too hot or buggy. The concert was good. It’s hard to explain exactly what it is. He plays harmonica and piano-but he has violins, viola and cello and a female singer and a percussionist. It’s called The Chamber Blues Band and it’s almost like a pairing of classical and blues for some of the songs. It was quite good and we enjoyed it.
    They had a cousin who is a classical guitarist who was playing in a place just down the street from the concert. They wanted to go over there later on but Greg’s back/leg was bothering him so we went home instead. So it’s a good thing that we had our own car.
    I have been entering the Q contest when I remember to do so. Maybe one of us will finally win something.
    Yesterday, we finally put the boat in the water. This is a new marina for us and they actually put it in and tied it up for us. We didn’t go for a ride though as Greg was tired and wanted to go home. I’m not sure if I will even be able to get in anymore as this dock seems to be a bit harder to get around on. That’s why pontoon boats are nice as you can step directly onto them from the dock. Ours is a ski/fishing boat and you have to step down into it which can be a challenge and the bad ankle doesn’t help. We’ll see how this works. Now Greg is looking for a shore station for the boat so you can crank it up and it doesn’t have to sit in the water all the time and get the hull full of algae and snails and such.
    If I forgot to wish you Happy Anniversary before let me wish you a belated one now. Four years until 50 for you guys. What a milestone!

    Hi Dianne,
    I love the sea life plates. I’ll bet your house will look like a summer beach house.
    I always admire the Victorian homes too but wouldn’t want to actually own one as they are so hard to maintain. They look beautiful when they are all painted up but it has to be hard to keep it all up. At this point in our lives easier to maintain is better.
    The brownies sounded good. Gosh I used to make them a lot as they were a favorite of our daughter and my husband and now I make them very seldom. Although in general I don’t bake as much as I used to.
    Hope your weather gets better. We are finally getting summer here.

    Hi Adele,
    Don’t be jealous but summer has finally hit here. We are going to be 80 degrees most of the week. Saw the wet and cool weather in Maryland for the Preakness and I figure your weather might be similar to there.
    Popovers for dinner is a different idea. I always thought of them as a side dish-like having rolls with dinner. I like that in the UK popovers are Yorkshire pudding making it sound like something completely different from what it is. lol Yprkshire pudding sounds like it should be dessert.
    The x-finity sounds neat. I’m sure the score checking would come in handy here too-also the ability to copy several programs at once.
    Greg’s back is a little better. He has been going to PT and it’s kind of a slow and steady progress but at least he’s getting some sleep by taking a pain pill before he goes to bed.

    Hi Barbara,
    You were a special nurse getting your patients outside into the fresh air. I’ll bet each and every one remembers your kindness to them. And I know how much that man must have appreciated seeing his dog again.
    I’m glad that you are having so much fun baby shopping. They have so many new wonderful things for parents and babies now.
    After we adopted Brent, Greg’s co-workers gave him a shower too. It was such a wonderful gesture from them. I’m sure Neal will be delighted and surprised.
    I can’t believe that our weather was warmer than yours. We are in the 80’s.
    Right now our only plans for Memorial weekend are meeting a couple for dinner on Sunday night. Other than that I’m not sure what we will do.
    I think it’s neat that you are introducing your MIL to Quacker and D and Co. They are comfy and that’s all that we need at this stage in our lives.
    Happy anniversary-a little late-how many years is it. I think Colleen may be our longest married member of the group. I hope that Jerry chased you around the house a little since you were all rested up for that. lol

    Does anyone know what having that little thing at the top of the page that says-howdy so and so is for. There’s a blue circle right in front of it with a number one. At one time it had a number two-I have tried clicking on it and nothing happens-I’m just wondering what the significance of it is.
