Callie and angelface--I  agree.  Who knew?

Sandy--How exciting that you got to hold Ophelia!!

June--I don't melt in the rain and am so glad we finally got a good rain.

Hi Joan
Did you get much rain?

Kelly

My supper is in the oven but I just had to congratulate Sandy.  I hope you get lots of cuddles and get them often!  I don't think I'll live to see my great grandchildren.  My grandchildren don't seem to be in any hurry to marry.  My best hope is the one who is getting married next month and they will be living in Oklahoma.  Doesn't sound promising!

I'm going to go eat my supper in front of the TV and if I fall asleep, the doggies baths may be late...or tomorrow. 

Or maybe even Saturday!

Jane somehow, in some cases,  the issue of getting married seems irrelevant when it comes to producing offspring.  Of the three grandchildren who have presented me with "greats,"  I am embarrassed to say that only one of them has bothered to observe the tradition of a wedding ceremony.

Hi Everyone
Gone midnight here so an early night for me.

Goodnight

Hello at last. My PC came back this afternoon and my grandson just left after setting it up again. As far as I can see I have not lost anything so will not have to reinstall. The mother board was defected and they replaced it. Have to learn to type all over again, fingers seem stiff now. Looks like I will have to get the disk for my external out to reinstall that. Not bad only one thing.

I am not going back to catch up on every thing you have been chatting about. Would take way too long.
I sure have missed all of you. So great to be online again. Tried to used a PC in the library, only 1 working and those who use it will be on it for hours just playing games. When I did get on it all I could do was get my gmail. Not all my mail addresses are there but did email a couple. My most used email has 500 email there. I most likely will delete most of them.

It has been raining here since Sunday and will till this coming Sunday. Did not help my disposition with no PC and rain, mostly light or drizzle with a few downpours.

I will bid you all a good night and go see if any emails are worth reading. See you in the morning God willing.

Gloria, so great to see you back up and running......huggggss we have missed you!!!

Hi Gloria, welcome back

Welcome back Gloria.  It is good to have you back on board.

Great to see you, Gloria! 

HOORAY!  Gloria is back! 

Whoo-Hoo!  I came back just in time to say "Glori(a) Be!  She's back!

Doggies are still dirty!  I just plain ran out of steam.  They'll be on the daily list until they get done!

I'm going to try to stay up to watch JAG but just in case...

Good Night Everyfriend!  Sleep well and God Bless us Every One!

welcome Bach Gloria.
Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers. I am going to call the nurse and have him help me to bed .
see you all tomorrow.

Lloyd

Gloria, so happy you are back with us.  You really have been missed.  So nice to see your smiling face.

Joy

I have been mentally busy with "stuff" today so am worn out. No naps. All is well now but I am really tired. So will fix a light supper, turn on the boob tube, eat, and probably go to an early bed. if the food revives me, I will be back to say goodnight.

GLORIA
So pleased to see you on board again. Sounds like you are all set up!now.

Good evening.  I can hardly believe my eyes, OUR GLORIA is back! 

We kept busy as bees all day long, so I am about to turn in for the night.

Met Dave and family for dinner tonight.  Nice Mexican Resturant in their area.  Michele was really tired, but her appointment went well and her doctor is so pleased with how well she is doing. 

KELLY, I am much too late for your morning greeting, so once again I must say, Opie Vie! 

LLOYD, what are we going to do with you?  These head injuries MUST stop.  I think you need to wear a helmet all the time now.  I hope you are going to be OK....REALLY SCARY AND I am worried about you. 

JOAN, I am sorry you had to go out in bad weather for your scan.  I am holding only good thoughts for a good report. 

JANE, you are one determined lady!  When you decid what needs to be done you just DO IT.  I was happy to read that you listened to your body and delayed washing the doggies. 

I am off to bed.

Pleasant dreams to all.

Jenny

Gloria, welcome back to our fold, you have certainly been missed.....((( hugs )))

Bosses' Night

At an annual Bosses' Night dinner for Helena, Montana, lawyers, sponsored by legal secretaries, it was time to announce the Boss of the Year.

The master of ceremonies began: "First of all, our winner is a graduate of the University of Montana. So that already eliminates some of you as candidates.

"Our winner also is a partner in a downtown Helena law firm. That eliminates some more of you.

"Our nominee is honest, upright, dedicated..."

A voice from the audience cut in: "Well, there go the rest of us!"



Coach Wooden

Legendary coach John Wooden led UCLA to national prominence in college basketball. A reporter once asked him how he managed to keep his cool under the great pressure of coaching college basketball. Wooden reached into his pocket and took out a wooden cross. "When the pressure is on I hold that cross in my hand," he explained. "Not as a good luck charm. I just hold it there to remind me that there is something more important than basketball."

A poem that he penned a few years before his passing was printed in the memorial service program and reads as follows:

The years have left their imprint
On my hands and on my face.
Erect no longer is my walk
And slower is my pace.

But there is no fear within my heart
Because I'm growing old
I only wish I had more time
To better serve my Lord.

When I've gone to Him in prayer
He has brought me inner peace
And soon my cares and worries
And other problems cease.

He has helped in so many ways,
He has never let me down,
Why should I fear the future
When soon I could be near His crown.

Though I know down here my time is short
There is endless time up there
And He will forgive and keep me
Forever in His loving care.

May I not waste an hour
That's left to glorify the Name
Of the One Who died, that we might live
And for our sins, took all the blame.

Coach John R. Wooden 1910-2010


 

"Joy is what Christ brings to the human heart. Christ is no cosmic killjoy, a wet blanket on the party of the world, as some people think He is. Rather, He is the source and fountain of all real joy."

- D. James Kennedy

Good morning everyone..

I see we had a sprinkle of rain during the night..
This morning dh vehicle goes in for an oil change and while that is taking place we will scoot on up to my friends to pick up the step stool that I left there on Tue.

Better get a move on as I would like to get some laundry done before I leave.

Joan ,thank you for breakfast.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Good Morning. too bad my cramra don't won't show In S & F . you could see me in H P Bed. All dressed

in my HP Gowen And oxy.

Lloyd

Good Morning Everyfriend!  And a special Good Morning to our lost sheep who has returned to the fold.  I bet you're beside yourself with joy at having your computer back.  And we are beside ourselves with joy at having our Gloria back!

Well, the dirty doggies are at the top of the list for today but I think both today and tomorrow are out because I work both days.  I'm pretty sure they are put off until Saturday or Sunday but I won't bore you with the before.  I'll just let you know when they are gorgeous and they smell good.

Jenny, I'm so glad all our prayers have worked for Michele.  I will continue to pray for her until I hear she is in complete remission.  What a relief all this good news must be to your entire family.  God loves her!

I'm off to fee the doggies and me.  Then I'm off to Wally World to meet and greet my public.  Don't know if I'll get back here before I go.  Have a wonderful day, Everyfriend!

Good morning, Amy.  It's a good thing those roads are not toll roads as much as you go back and forth.  You'd be broke.

Lloyd--Good morning.  I'm sure you look spiffy in that designer hospital gown.

Good morning, Janie.  Bet those sweet doggies are begging for a bath.  Hope all of "your public" are wearing a big smile today and tomorrow.

Gloria, it brightened a cloudy morning here to see you back.  I'm so glad.  And sorry that you had to go through such a frustrating time. 

Lloyd, it distresses me to hear that you are back in the hospital after another accident.  I hope you are healing very quickly and will be back on your feet soon.  Wearing a helmet when you are doing outside work is a very good idea.  You might consider it.  Besides, a motorcycle helmet would not only protect your poor abused head but it will make you look "cool".   

I'm trying to catch up with you all.  I've had my head stuck on some lessons on creating graphics and everything else has slipped.  Including housew**k!  Well, that one is no big loss, as far as I am concerned.  I'm so pleased to read all the good news and sorry to hear of the not-so-good news.  I hope I hear more of the good and less of the bad in the future.

Hunting/Gathering Day has come again so I must be about my business.....eat breakfast, get dressed, make a shopping list, and get out the door.



This is for you, Janie.   (my apologies, Joan, for posting an image here.  I won't do it often....I promise.)

MAKE it a good one, Everyone!

Good Morning Everyone!

Hope everyone is up and about doing their favorite thing.  Looks like it is going to be a beautiful day here, maybe a tad warm, but I can live with that.

Joanie, loved your poem this morning.  I lifted it and forwarded it.  Thanks for your hard work putting our morning read together.

I sill have to get some decent glue to try and mend my glasses.  If I wasn't so blasted lazy I would go down and get a new pair...

Janie, how many days till your trip to God's country?
