Darlene

OK Everybody-You heard her-Dar just invited us all on a "Birthday Party Cruise" for the re-birth of MrsSurvival!!! Good thing she still has that MrsS credit card in her pocket, and that the "mailing address" hasn't changed!!! ------------------ "Sooner or later everyone quotes their mother."

I spent the month of June in SCHOOL!!! I took Accounting in summer school-what a project! Three hours/day, 4 days/week, plus homework, a project, and an exam EVERY week. I spent 8-10 hours/day on the homework and the "Divesports" (business papers) project. Class is finally over and I DON'T have to take the final----'cause I got an "A" in the class!!!! A couple of the ladies that were in the class and the teacher and I are going to Logan's Roadhouse (restraunt) on Monday to celebrate. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! SCHOOL'S OUT FOR THE SUMMER!!! (Fall classes begin on Aug 26 - whatever happened to not starting school until AFTER Labor Day?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?) ------------------ "Sooner or later everyone quotes their mother."

Since I don't have any noodles in my pantry to soak and beat you with, I shall just have to move in close and give you a GREAT BIG HUG!!!!!!!! I only wish you had given permission to the people who knew what was going on to share it with us. I am so sorry that you went through the illness and the financial woes "alone," (unlike the fire and it's aftermath). You have nothing to apologize for Dar. Welcome Home!!! ------------------ "Sooner or later everyone quotes their mother."

"Come out, come out, wherever you are!" Home free all! ------------------ "Sooner or later everyone quotes their mother."

I'm NEVER early! And I've NEVER been the first to make the very first post ever on a new forum! I'm not sure that I can handle the awsome responsibility that that entails. So, I guess I should get busy arranging things. I have pitchers of ice tea at each table around the porch with a variety of sweeteners to satisfy everybody's needs. There are lemon wedges for the tea, or you could use them in your water if you're "from California." Since I have eliminated flour and sugar from my diet, I have brought cheese cubes, a veggie platter with Ranch Dip, and mixed nuts. If you want "comfort food" you'll have to wait for someone else to roll out the "tea cart" laden with sweets! OK-so everything is ready. Come out, come out, wherever you are!!! ------------------
