Lois

I thought his ugliness was supposed to help with some of her medical bills, maybe I'm wrong...

I remember living on $85.00 a week in 1969 and that was with overtime. But we lived well, and I had no complaints.

I see trees, and grass, and a bright red cardinal perched on a branch outside the window... so beautiful to behold.

Backing? Backing???? Lordy girlfriend, I havent even figured out what pattern or design I am going to use for my quilt yet! T.

Now I'm confused Lois send us a pic of what you're talking about .... It sounds interesting and I would love to see it. T.

Well Hello there! We sure have missed ya around here edensong! Glad to hear everything is going OK for you and your family. twi

My problem Cappy, is learning how to use them... I'm a puter illiterate! T.

I've been in 22 states.... love to travel,

I've been unpacking and unpacking and unpacking in the new apartment......... MY PLANS are still a go though. t

I'm so sorry that you were hurt Boss.... but dont let this make you bitter against future friendships.... YOu are too vital and special to let one person turn you away from all the wonderful people who could really be yur friend. twi

Well, mine are 3000 miles away so they wont be comming to visit. Guess I'll sit here and see if any of them call. T.

Awww Frannie, first the chit, kaka, doodoo from "S" in Fla. and now this..... I'm so sorry sweetie that you cant go on your trip! get better real soon please. T.

Way to go Lowie!

Well now, I'm gonna send Frannie to the Petrified Forrest and other sites in that area, and while she's there she can just swing by and say hello to my kids for me! Http://www.nps.gov/pefo/ I just love this area... lots to explore and a wonderful museum as well.

Then there is St Johns... and it is small but a town full of love of life and family . A small Mormon./ Catholic community where my family lives and my precious grandbabies: http://www.wmonline.com/cities.stjohns.html They have a wonder pioneer museum there that has so many many dontations of family heirlooms for the public to view...

Then on to the Hopi Indian Reservation to see the pueblos and the wonder crafts that these wonderfully talented people make and to discover their history.. http://www.gallupnm.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=hopi.home

This site has areas to click on to read about their history, culture and traditions as well as their crafts.

Have fun Dear Sweet Frannie... I think you will love my part of the Southwest... it is full of wonder and grandure and tradition! T.

hummmm I dont do bathing suits anymore... The last time I wore one was to go swimming in lake michigan.... some little guy in a fur coat , paddling a kyak, tried to shoot me with a harpoon.... guess he thought I was a whale when he saw the black swimsuit!

Cat, I'm praying for your brothers. I'm so sorry to hear about their illnesses. I'm with you on the chickenpox, many of the immunizations that children recieve are necessary, but I allowed all of my children to get chicken pox to build up a natural immunity. So many many years ago my children all had their MMR's and ya know what? When I enrolled them in kindergarten they had to have them again because the country decided their first ones were given too soon. Now I have children that are allergic to tetnis shots and one that was allergic to the pertussis immunization... it's scarey just how many children die each year or are brain damaged or crippled from these shots. I am a nurse and I realize they are necessary, but at the same time I am reluctant to immunize against chicken pox. that is just my opinion.... T.

well, I kinda giggle all over right now so..... i do pants and longgggggg blouses. I own one dress, black and and floor length that I wear on christmas..

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah....... we know you MOMO it's for you but you just don't want to admit it!

Oh HOrse_Dreamer.... I am so sorry and owe you an apology! My life has been such a mess that I forgot my manners and I do apologize for not greeting you in a proper manner. Please reconsider and come back... Twi

Hiya SIS........ You've got a PM Glad to hear that Mom and Pop made it there alright! T.

I went to TheGiant's brothers house last night and found three more sets of charm squares..

Now Cat, we wouldn't expect anything else, but a wonderful bit of *wild* kitty silliness! Hope to get your fabrics soon.... twi

Thank you Grace my squares arrived also.

It's too bad we can't all get along.

Becca, please come out...
