It's written by Lamore and one of my favorite books. I have read it so many times that I think I need to buy a new copy!

Hot, Humid, and Sticky here in Northern New Jersey! I'm in hiding in my house hold up like a mole in his tunnel underground. I aint even going fishin! T.

A dozen Long Stemmed Red Roses, a bottle of GOOD wine, Dinner and dancing.... and then tell her how much you love her Big Brother. ROFL.... boy you're lucky you're not married to me! Even The Giants knows better than to say ANYTHING about my weight! KOTC twi [This message has been edited by twilap (edited July 30, 2002).]

I brought cold pepsi and beer, here are three chilled watermelons, and here comes Big Brother Ed with his freshly dug clams to add to the steamer I brought with me. NaNa we all have times like these and you just go ahead and let it out here.. we'll all listen.

Count me in Big Brother! I expect Surf and turf though.

OH Reci I have read all the "Love Comes Softly " series... my daughter Rachel is reading them now and then they will go to little Breezy for her library. That Little girl is only 5 years old and has nearly 100 books now.

Normally Big Brother, I would try and help you out of this scrape. BUT........ You're on your own this time. Peg, he cant help it that he says such stupid things, after all he is a man ya know!

I posted the titles, authors and info on the books in my post...

WTG SNOWMOM !!!!!!!!!! T.

We Love You Dar ! This is a family thru thick and thin and You're "STUCK" with us.. twila

Oh how I love that "giggle" ! Hi Ya Frannie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! T. ------------------

I went to the recycling center next door yesterday to dispose of my cardboard and plastic jugs and fell into a virtual gold mine of "ancient" books! Two of them first editions childrens books from 1886/1887... Needless to say I am making photocopies of these books and contacting a library to find out how to store these treasures and preserve them... apparently these were from an estate and someone didnt know what they were throwing away...I retrieved 10 books that I will treasure for years to come, one of them the second edition of "Alice throught the Looking Glass".

Twila sneaks into the shop and brings lace tie backs for the curtains Dar just hung on the windows... My my doesn't it just add sparkle to the place???

I got a full time job as a Dry Cleaner with a fire restoration company. Now can ya just see me as a professional dry cleaner? ... The Giant gave up driving a truck and has gone in business for himself as an auto mechanic. Life isnt easy, but it is a challenge right now and I AM WOMAN therefore I am strong. twila

HI ALL ! I'm alive and kicking in New Jersey... fluke fishing is great Big Brother and so is the Sea Bass! I'm working full time now and busy with The Giant and The Munchkin.... love the new site Twi. ------------------ [This message has been edited by twilap (edited July 20, 2002).]

Dar, this is an imperfect word and we are all imperfect people. Life happens and sometimes it isnt easy to deal with... stop agonizing over what you have had no control over hun. In the past 3 years I have gone thru a divorce, lost my home, experienced a near death illness myself. Last year I suffered a second light stroke, 11 months ago buried my grandson and 6 weeks later my Da... as a result of all the stress I let alot of people here at Mrs.S down... some have forgiven me and some are still angry with me. I have spent months grieving and praying and finally laid it down at the lords feet because I was making myself ill again over it all. I remember "Da Boss" dancing in her blue dress... what a beautiful site you were too.. and also when she was angry at me... but I never stopped loving you and caring about you and you needs to stop beating yourself up over all of this. Life happens and it either beats us or makes us stronger in the end.... Ive never been a quitter and neither have you girlfriend.... so let the past take care of itself and go on from today...
