You were scanning at a record pace!   I could barely keep up getting things out of the cart and onto the conveyer!  I think it must have been almost Break Time for you.   

I bet that was it!

Larry, my parents would never have gone to the shows, they didn't go to the fair except when Mother was asked to take an arrangement for her Garden Club Circle competition and Dad always went the week before the Fair to help the Shriners get the wiring and mechanical things working for their fund raiser "stall", I think they had a permanent building on the grounds. 

I dropped by the various grandstand shows because "back in the day" they were free with admission to the Fair, and I always got in free because "locals" got jobs first.  I started working the fair at 14, would be the usual 10 days of the Fair plus some jobs started a day or so before.  A friend & I baby sat the first year,  before the job selling hot dogs, for a couple that owned some of the jewelry stalls.... She showed us photos taken of the baby (they lived in CA when not doing the fairs), he was a model and at one stage was the Gerber baby face.  We just sat on the steps of their trailer and went to tell her when the baby woke up. 

The Fairgrounds was open all year & my friend's family kept a horse stabled there except for the weeks vacated to house the show & race horses.  This was our playground and we would hang out watching as horses would be brought in weeks before the shows, even with their own bluegrass to eat, and with the Budweiser horses, their own tents and supplies.  We visited with everyone and were allowed to pet the horses. 

The last couple summers I worked in the Administration Building, ran the information booth.  All the politicians and entertainers came through that building so was fun.  Grandstand shows were often people that had been on Ed Sullivan,  singers, comedians, the auto trick drivers, race cars and Grand Circuit Harness Racing.   In the early '50s the fair was touted to be "2nd largest in the US".... (TX was the biggest). 

A tornado hit one night, I lived about 11 blocks from the main entrance and my parents & I woke up to close windows and went back to sleep.  When I got to the fairgrounds at 6:00 am the guards were not allowing anyone in but since I had an "administration button" I got through.  As I walked to the Admin building I saw a huge truck about halfway up a tree (large old trees), looked down the mile long carnival grounds to see the 3 ferris wheels that stood side by side the night before, laying on the ground twisted together.  All the tents for side shows down or gone... unbelievable damage.   http://internationalindependentshowmensmuseum.org/carnival-and-circus-history/the-massive-funnel-cloud-that-landed-on-the-fairgrounds/ 

Long story but why I was exposed to stunt driving shows and Grand Circuit Harness Racing & so many other early 1950s entertainment, it came with the territory.  My mother always said that "when Shirley left the house she would look up and tell God that she was in His hands", I was fearless....( It helped that the older kids paved the way and wore her down before I came along.)  I had a wonderful life and even realized it at the time.  We didn't have a lot of money compared with some of my best friends, but they loved being around my parents because my parents were never too busy to sit down and talk to them any time the friends came, even after my brothers & sister & I left home. 

Mary Ann, my microwave still gives off a whiff of burned popcorn at times.  It was horrible at the time.

Need to check the battery in the smoke alarm that is near the ceiling in the hall leading to the garage.  It goes off any time I brown meat or do anything that sort of steams up the kitchen.  I know I took the battery out since Cas died and not sure I put it back, got tired of going to the garage door & fanning the door back & forth to swish out smoke and pulled in fresh air.  I'd always turn on the fan over the stove AFTER the alarm goes off (drove Cas nuts).

Gloria, been meaning to tell you that when I was having so much trouble with my old laptops my son advised me to not turn them off (shut down) at all.... let them go to sleep with screen saver moving, wiggle the mouse next time I want to use & I haven't had any trouble since.  Well not any except when I manage to touch something that changes things.... right now I have my pictures messed up on the computer downstairs, can't drag photos from one folder to another .... He came by today & power washed the bottom of the pool, drained out the yucky stuff & I am now filling it again until time to winterize in Nov.  Pain in the neck but gotta be done.

Janie--Glad you got some zzzs.  Now scoot to the kitchen, and start the things you wanted to do. I just knew you were considerate when bagging everyone's items.

Callie--Yep, it made a good story.  Now go sit in the corner.

Shirley--You sure spent many years doing a variety of jobs at the Fair.

Joy, thank you for your interesting post. This is the second place away from my home that I have lived in and I must say, it is by far the best. Even though I am considered Independent, I still have so many benefits. Always have some one checking up on us. And being here with all of you makes my day complete.

Callie, hey…..what is this "behave yourselves" stuff. We have earned the right to mis-behave now. That is one of the benefits of aging, and the older we get, the more "rights" we have. I really have not learned yet to walk around outside in my P.J.'s though. I sure wouldn't want to be tossed out of here for flagrancy.

Patricia, You are wise to choose contentment. Me too. life is too short to allow discontent to sneak in on us.

Jacquie…uh.uh. I have lost so much weight that the p.j.s are slipping down on their own now, and what I have left to reveal is rather frightening to the eye, if you know what I mean.

Gloria de, I am SO happy to hear the good news on Jess. I pray God continues the healing, and Jess will soon be able to back to work. God is Good.

Time to think about heating something up for supper. My little refrigerator is stacked to the gills with food. I over-ordered last time I got on the net with Vons. They are having salmon patties downstairs, but I'm too lazy to go out again, and socialize. Had a big lunch with good friends, and that's enough for the day.

Will drop in later to say goodnight.

Today was the bus from our community  to Black Hawk, our casino town.  I really was not much in the mood to go, but my friend called very early and talked me in to it.  I enjoyed the ride but those darn machines we tighter than ever!

GLORIA de,
I am happy to read that Jess is progressing nicely.  I can only imagine how much he wants to get back to work. 

Thank you all that made comments about my nice weekend get away for the class reunion.  I am still enjoying it in my mind. 

GLORIA
Bob and I commented many times about a view that we knew you would enjoy.  There were many, but sadly they just do not turn out all that well on our telephones. 

Jackie
After I got in bed last night I realized that I forgot to say good morning to you!  We have never set a smoke alarm off in this home that we have lived in for 12 years.  Have in many other homes that we lived in! Sure glad you did not attempt to climb the step stool.  Fanning like Jane and maybe others said was of course the correct thing to do. 

It is time to fix a little salad for us to munch on, so I must say good night. 

Pleasant dreams to all. 

Jenny

I'm off to Dreamland!  Good Night Everyfriend and may God bless us, every one!

Good Night to you dear Jenny, Sorry Black Hawk didn't treat you nicely. And I will say Good Night to all you other dear friends. I ate a huge supper, and feel like a bear ready to hibernate, so I will get the body ready for bed and read till sleep arrives. God be with you all this night. I send you Love, Hugs and Prayers. June

Good Night everyone.see you all tomorrow.

Lloyd

Shirley, my microwave did not survive the fire from the potato, which was burned to a crisp.  The plastic top drooped at the corners and it looked like a tester bed.  I could do nothing but laugh and the next day I went down the avenue and bought a new microwave.

Today I met with my retiree women friends at a Chinese restaurant.  I had Sweet and Sour Chicken.  I ate a portion of it and brought the rest home.  Tonight, I took the food from the box, heated it and ate some of it.  I still have enough for at least one more meal, if not two meals.  Not only that, Dot and I are going out to lunch tomorrow for the "family" gathering.  Tom will not be with us because he is preparing to take a friend, and a friend of that friend, to Penna so the friend's friend can visit her son.  They will go to State College PA. 

The cat has had his treats and has retreated to the lower level where he usually spends the night.  He wants to go out so badly and I won't let him out; I don't trust him!

Mary Ann

CALLIE K...your response.. 
....and you know what? I think our June might just be the one to go do it, she is such a gutsy lady....

JUNEDRABEK.....
...just dont go doing anything that would get you into trouble....otherwise myself and Callie will take full responsibility, right Callie?....

JENNY....
....sounds like you had warning signs, and a gut feeling, telling you not to go on this occasion....I think there is only ever going to be one winner...those Black Hawk machines...they "give with one hand and take from the other...."
I had seen it many times in all the betting offices I ever worked in as cashier, and believe you me, there were many betting shops, and many unhappy punters....

Sleep tight Jenny....

Good Wednesday morning, Everyfriend.  There's sticky buns to accompany your coffee or tea. I wish everyone a good day!!



4 Year Ceiling

A young woman, pursuing a graduate degree in art history, was going to Italy to study the country's greatest works of art. Since there was no one to look after her grandmother while she was away, she took the old lady with her. At the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, she pointed to the painting on the ceiling.

"Grandma, it took Michelangelo a full four years to get that ceiling painted."

"Oh my, "the grandmother says. "He and I must have the same landlord."



Traditions: Decent Servants, Lousy Masters
(by Kerry S. Doyal)

Don't get me wrong, I am the first to acknowledge that God's Word does many great and glorious things: it encourages, brings life, tells us of Jesus and salvation, it instructs and warns us.. The list is incredibly, eternally endless. However, God's Word can haunt you too.

Yes, haunt you; track you down, taunt and torment you. Praise God it does. Readers of God's Word - especially those seeking to follow Him - know what I mean.

The story in Mark 7:1-13 ends with a phrase that we would be blessed to haunt us. In this tale of conflict - initiated by the Jewish scholars and Pharisees - Jesus lofts out a phrase that needs to sweep through our hearts, homes and churches.

Accusing Him of letting His disciples break the Traditions of the Elders (eating with ceremonially unclean hands), these religious leaders indignantly demand just cause for deviating from their customs. He lets His followers ignore the Traditions. Such sloppy living demeans Him, the disciples' Rabbi.

Mind you, Jesus' disciples had not broken God's Law. They had crossed a line of religious practice, and that was more than enough. The tone of Jesus' reply tells us how important this was to both Jesus and His accusers. After all, when Jesus publicly calls you a hypocrite, you must have stirred the wrong pot.

When Jesus says your worship is in vain and that your heart is far from the God you say you love - look out! When He tells you that you have replaced God's Word with your own traditions, setting aside His Law for your personal pious preferences - YIKES!

The Pharisee's well-intended desire to guard God's Law had led them to make rules that had become laws themselves. Their Traditions - which they called "fences to protect the law" - were originally godly applications and principles to help people live a devout life. Yet, as is often the case, they became the standards of righteousness, obedience, and fidelity to God and His Word.

Back to our haunting phrase. Jesus exposed a slick loophole they used to dishonor their parents and break the fifth commandment. While their use of Corban (gifts dedicated to God) was seen as spiritual, Jesus saw it as evil. He chastened: "Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that." Mark 7:13 (NIV)

Did you hear it? Has it started its holy haunting work yet? In case you missed it, here it is: "And you do many things like that." While that "you" was aimed at the Pharisees, it has more than a residual challenge for us. Yes, we too do many things like them, having standards that have become laws in and of themselves. Dare to consider a few?

We fear people will get drunk so we declare all drinking a sin, though most believers around the world imbibe wine regularly. Fear of drunkenness - which is clearly a sin - is wise and biblical. But to try to prevent it by setting up a fence that God did not is to set our well-intended rule above God's Word.

Personally, I do not drink. Know the old word "teetotaler?" I hope for the same for my children when they reach adulthood. But to say all drinking is always a sin is to go beyond Scripture. Doing so dishonors God and His Word, no matter how noble the motive. "And you do many things like that."

Indeed, dancing can lead to immorality. I would rather not face the temptation of seeing sweet young things gyrate to pulsating music. Does it Biblically follow that all dancing is sin? "You do many things like that."

Playing cards may lead to gambling, movies may lead to defilement, eating in a restaurant that serves beer may cause misunderstandings, too much jewelry and makeup can call undue attention to one's self. However, are there solid biblical grounds for our ground rules? "Many things like that."

Pianos were the contemporary musical instrument of their day a few hundred years ago. Organs - when first invented - pumped out contemporary Christian music. Now, they are a standard of pure worship for many. Their absence or presence can damn or vindicate a church.

Before we get arrogant, the sword cuts both ways. For some, if your church has drums and guitars, you're obviously filled with the Spirit, not bound by traditions. Our newest Tradition? "Many things like that."

In some churches, one could drop the doctrine of the Trinity easier than you could stop having Sunday School, a wonderful 200-year-old ministry tool, which has [often] "strayed" from its original street-ministry evangelistic roots. "Many things."

Mid-week prayer meeting and evening services are more holy to some than Biblical unity. I have not begun to speak of hymnals, choirs, overheads, vestments, orders of service, guys wearing ties and keeping their hair off their ears and collar, skirts verses slacks, diets, parenting and educational convictions, translations, select boycotts. "Many."

We need to be people of convictions, yet never go beyond God's Word. We must allow the Spirit of God to guide, restrain and liberate. We can rely on God's sustaining and perfecting grace, trusting Him and His methods to mature us.

Some of our Traditions, though nobly birthed, have grown into monsters that need slaying. May God's Word haunt us until we hear and heed it, even if it means violating "rules" that we have devoutly followed for years.



"The most segregated hour of the week in America is the eleven o'clock Sunday morning Christian church service."

- Billy Graham, 1960

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I'm up but feeling  bit queasy this morning.  I'm hoping this will pass before it's time to get ready for work.  I'm just sitting here having my coffee and waiting to see what transpires.

I hope Everyfriend has a lovely day.  Make it what you want it to be.

Good morning, Janie.  I am sorry you aren't feeling up to par.  I hope that feeling passes quickly.

Today is errand day and then I'll see what I can do after the errands are done.

Good morning everyone.
Woke to the sound of rain that has now stopped. Will have to wait till the grass dries before it can be mowed.

Thank you for prayers for dh....he is in for a MRI next then an operation in Oct..seems this is never ending lately.

Jane I hope you feel better..

Joan, enjoy your day out and thank you for breakfast.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning everyone. well I been up for a bit am getting up the nerve to go give my self the shot of logon ox and eat cereal. Jane sorry you are under the weather,maybe you  should call in sick. this getting old isant what it is cracked up to be. Have a great day take care.

Lloyd

Good morning Everyfriends.....

JANE S....
...hope you haven't caught a tummy bug....

....AMY.....
...not been a good year for your hubby, seems to be one appointment after the other....I am sending out positive thoughts that all will soon come to an end and only good will come from all the test results....with his coming operation being his last...

LLOYD HAMMOND...
...I will sure second that..." this old age lark, is not what its all cracked up to be..."

JOAN...
...thank you for always having our teas and breakfasts on the go....
..........................................
Nothing on my today's agenda, our local visiting parkhome sites young hairdresser is soon to be knocking here, she does Rs hair on a six weekly basis...
...that reminds me I need to make my hairdressing booking at the same hairdressers I went to last time in Dorchester...I was happy how he done my hair..

Had breakfast and fed the doggies and I'm feeling a mite better.  It was a bit of the dizzies when I moved too fast and it seems to have passed.  We'll see as the day progresses.

Amy, your hubby is in my prayers.  Like Jackie, I hope this is his last bout and he can enjoy the good life.

Amy, I have only good thoughts and best wishes for your DH...and for you, too.

Jane, sorry you aren't feeling too good this morning but glad to hear that it is a little better.  Keep that trend going!  But, beware of the dizzies.  We don't want you fainting.

Good morning/afternoon, Jackie.  I need to get my hair cut, too.  I have an appointment next week.

Lloyd, that is so true!  Dealing with old age and all of the stuff it brings is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do.  The Golden Years seen to be a little too tarnished for my taste.

Hope you are doing OK today, Joan.  Take it easy since it is supposed to be hot again.  Summer just won't let go.  I'll have a sticky bun, please, but I'll save it 'till later.  I have my first appointment with the cardiologist today and my stomach is feeling a little tight.  However, it will be good to get some answers and some direction on what I can, and can't, do.

Be good, everyfriend, or if you can't be good, be careful.   

Good morning, Amy.  I'm praying that all goes well with your husband's medical care.

Lloyd--Good morning.  Good for you giving yourself the shot.

Vanilla-Jackie--Good morning/afternoon.  "R" is lucky that the hairdresser comes to your home for haircuts.

Janie--I hope you continue to feel better.

Good morning, Phyllis.  I'm sure you have anxiety going to the cardiologist.  I pray he has good things to tell you.

Good morning.  Another pretty sunny morning here in Central Maryland.

I thought I would make an appearance before I get busy doing something else.

Jane,  hope by now you are feeling better.   

Joan, thanks for the good breakfast this morning.  Sticky buns are a real special treat.

Phyllis, hope you will get good news from your doctor's appointment today.  And, Amy, hoping for good news for your husband, also.

Jackie,  where I live, we have a hairdresser who comes in once a week and she has several male residents who get their hair cut here. The only problem is, she is very busy, coming only one day a week.  I was lucky to be able to get an appointment for this Sat. as there was a cancellation. She leaves  appointment sheets for several weeks ahead,  outside the little beauty parlor for the residents to make an appointment.  These fill up quickly.  She works pretty fast, so she can work on quite a few people during the time she is here. 

Hope every friend here will have a good day.  Going to see what needs to get done today.

Joy

Just booked my hair appointment online, didn't realise how busy it would be....the man who done my hair last time is fully booked up until 20th September...I have taken and booked that appt, but, was hoping to get my hair done in-time for next Tuesdays MS Social evening, I should have booked it sooner....I am also trying to plan the midway timing, so my hair will next be ready just in-time for my MS Christmas lunch which I have booked my place for the 3rd of Dec, by then my hair will be ready for its next cut which I plan to book for end of November,....then I should be looking neat and tidy, or at least my hair will be........

...PHYLLIS....
...not as easy a task as it sounds...putting pen to paper and jotting down questions we want answers to...As for me, I can guarantee I will leave off one or two of the most  crucial and important questions, that only come to mind once I have LEFT the consultants office...and, or, half way back to the car...
..........................................................
Booking an Opticians ( eye testing ) is next on my to do agenda....I had already done an online search, so have one in mind that I plan to use....a small family run concern in Dorchester, unlike these big discounted Optician chains that are now springing up, that seems most people are choosing to use....ie...Specsavers...Boots...Vision Express...

Good morning everyone, going to be hot and humid today. Back into summer heat for the rest of this week.

JOAN  my 3 were not like that and neither was my grandson.

JOY  this place has changed since I moved here 2 years ago. Not much of anything going on.

CALLIE  my grandson did put childproof things on the cabinet doors but the little smarty learned how to open them.

PATRICIA  I am still trying to rest up after Monday's outing. The rain has not helped any and we are still getting showers on and off. Need some dry sunny days.

Gloria de  we are still getting some rain and waves from that hurricane.

SHIRLEY  I have always shut down at night. Maybe I should just put it to sleep and see what happens. Right now I think I need a new mouse and pad, think both are worn out. Cannot get the wireless one to do what I want and the wired one is even worse. I want a new keyboard, too. The one that came with this PC was quite small and I kept hitting 2 keys. The one I am using is old and some of the keys I have to hit hard.

JENNY  I had my iPhone with me Monday but since I have yet to try the camera I did not take any pictures of my little great grandson. Have a lot to learn about it before I am comfortable with it.

JOAN  a sticky bun will be so good this morning. Of course it is so late now I think it will be my brunch. Great Chuckle. Thank you for today's goodies. Hope you get all your errands done in good time so you can get home to your comfortable home.

AMY  I send prayers for your DH and you, too.

LLOYD  you are so right, the golden years are not easy. It will be a week before I recuperate from my trip out on Monday.

PHYLLIS  no doctor appointments are fun.

Hope to make it back later. Of course I just might be sleeping early.

Hi everyone on another partly cloudy morning.  We are expecting to get to 96 degrees this afternoon.  This morning I took Pat to the hospital lab for some blood tests in preparation for her GP appointment on Friday.  Since she fasted  for the tests we ate breakfast/lunch out, which Pat enjoyed.  Then this afternoon she has another Chiropractic treatment.  At 5:30 are Wednesday dinners at church finally begin again and Scott and I will attend.  Pat does not plan to attend them this year, at least not now, as the food doesn't fit the eating plan she is following.  We then look forward to Scott spending some time with us this evening.

Yesterday was an exhausting day and I slept for about 9 hours last night but still am very tired this morning.  I have put out hamburger for Pat's dinner tonight and will fix some Balsamic mushrooms for her that she really likes.  The rest of today I plan on taking it easy.  I did get good results from the doctor yesterday.  The Ultrasound of my liver was fine and the blood work he had done was OK.  The blood was drawn in his office and tested with a machine right in their office and was done in a matter of a couple of minutes. 

Good Morning Everyone!

Janie, sorry to hear you a bit under the weather.  Hopefully it is just a passing thing. 

Not much happening here this morning.  My Granddaughter is getting packed up to head to Austin when wife gets back from Meal on Wheels.  She leaves the states for France on Saturday. 

Nothing much on my agenda today.  Get a little rest this week, next week, wow! busy, busy.  Appointments every day.  Either doctor or ultra sound. 

Lloyd hope you are feeling better, I know you will be happy when the clot is gone and you can get off the rat poison.  But bet you have to stay on a blood thinner.

Anyhow, need another cuppa coffee.

Good Morning all, It is past noon on the East Coast, so I am very late for some of you. But..I got involved in sending out a cyber Birthday Card to my Gr. Grandson Zachary. He has started school already and it seems like he was born yesterday. And he is leaving hid little brother and sister at home as he ventures out on the school bus. How do the years go by so quickly ??

Jackie, never fear, I will never be tempted to meander outside in my P.J.'s. This place is run by the Quaker religion folks and I would never want to flagrantly spoil the dignity of this fine organization. They are a non-profit organization, and I think that is why we receive so much for the money we spend living here. I even feel a bit guilty when I open a can of beer.

Amy, I am so sorry your dh will require surgery. We will hopefully pray it will be the cure that allows him to live the rest of his life in freedom from illness and pain.

Lloyd, hopefully you are on the curing of your ills. It may take time, but God knows you need some "time out" from all the hard work you do. Call in the Troops..your kids…and let them take over some of the essential work that needs doing. Don't be too proud to ask for help. You gave them life, and I'm sure they are grateful enough to give help when needed.

Janie, I pray your day goes very well. Please don't push yourself too hard though, what you felt this morning may be a message to slow down and take care.

Larry, It is good to hear your liver test and blood work was fine. That is encouraging isn't it ?And I am glad you are able to drive as much and as well as you do. I have to admit, I have never been sorry I had to give up my car. When I realized I could be a serious risk, it was easy to accept other transportation. Living here, the only need for me to leave the property would be vision and teeth. Those two things they do not do here. If the time comes, they have a care facility building that is like a mini hospital, right here on the property. It would be more costly living there, but you would be assured of loving care. I feel very blessed.

Hal, I don't understand why your daughter is going to live in France ? Is is work related, or what. I guess I am a died in the wool Patriot, even though things are going to pot politically. I have left the U.S. only to cross the border to Vancover…one time…and found it beautiful, or dozens of times to take relatives to Tijuana for shopping…when it was safe and fun.

I'm home after a morning of gallivanting.  After doing errands, I met up with some lady friends and we had brunch.

Joy--Sure is convenient to have a hairdresser come to your place.

Vanilla-Jackie--It seems many are getting their hair cut/styled.  I guess I should make an appointed to get sheared.

Gloria--It is hot and humid here today, too.  It sure doesn't take those little tykes long to figure out devices that are used to keep them out of certain places.

Larry--I bet a change of scenery and breakfast out was enjoyable for Pat.  GREAT that you fix her meals to coincide with the food plan she's following.  Glad to hear you got a good report from your doctor yesterday.

halkel--I'm sure you're sad to have your granddaughter leave.  It's about time I found a few ZZZs on the couch after my busy morning.

June--I've got to get busy and address some snail mail cards after I have a short rest.

Well June, she went to France to get her Master's degree there in Biology and met the man of her life.  In short, she is marrying a Frenchman.  She had to return to Texas to get a new visa, which she has obtained and now returning to get married.
The guy she is marrying was also attending the same university and graduated at the same time. 

Good Wednesday morning to EVERYFRIEND!

JACKIE
Thank you, I did sleep tight!  Wish I could find someone to come to our home and cut hair.... I just dread going and then after it is done I am so happy!  Not always with the cut it's self, but to have it done.  Shame one has to plan ahead, but if you want to get in to a special person I guess you just make the appointment as you leave the one you are at.  I know you are right about those darn slots.....I just wish for once they would pay ME as I am tired of supporting others!

JANIE
Sorry you work up feeling punk.....hope you are much better now that you are at work.

GLORIA
I wish I could spend a few minutes with you to help you learn how to use your iPhone.  I sure would loved to see a picture of that GGrand boy.

AMY
Your DH has sure had a rough time of it....please know that you both are in my thoughts and prayers.

PHYLLIS
Holding good thoughts for you today as you go to your cardiologist.  Hugs.

JOY
good to see you posting again....you were missed.  Hope your day goes well. 

LLOYD
Good for you giving yourself the shot.  Being a diabetic I get a lot of poking myself time too.  Feel better buddy and get that clot dissolved.

JOAN
Good to read that your gallivanting is over for the day! You pretty much said what I feel I get when I go in for my haircut....it is just that, a SHEARING!  Thank you again and again for our daily goodies you leave for us. 

LARRY
So happy that your doctors report regarding blood work is good.  Sure happy that Pat seems to be improving...please give her my best. 

HAL
I am feeling sad for you as you tell your Granddaughter goodbye.....it is hard at our ages as we just never know....I send good positive thoughts that you and she will indeed see each other again! 

Bob is watching the live  "propaganda" coverage about the new iPhone, etc. that is due out soon. 

I best get myself busy and accomplish something today!

JUNE
Before I away...just have to send a special HUG to you.  I ALWAYS  love reading what you are up to. 

Have a good day.

Jenny

Hello Everyfriend!  I'm home from work feeling somewhat better but the "dizzies" are still in the background.  The last time this happened, I had a middle ear infection.  I hope that's not what's causing this.  If I turn too quickly, bend and then straighten too fast or tilt my head back, I can feel that feeling.  I'm going to keep checking and if it doesn't clear up, I'll call the Dr. 

I think right now, I'll check out the sofa.  Might be a few zzzzs I missed and I'll be able to gather them.  Enjoy your day, Everyfriend!
