Congrats Dorrie, on the birth of your new Godchild..WooooHoooo!! That would put anyone in a great mood.:D

Margie -
Sounds like you had an awful week. I hope you take care of yourself. Sounds like all the docs have a plan, that's good. Keep your chin up and remember we are here anytime. :hug:

Judy -
Wish the fatigue and pain will ease up for you. Pain does have away of dragging down a day. :( How exciting, your doorway sounds like a dream. I hope your shower and a good nights sleep bring you a better day tomorrow. :hug:

Congrats on the new baby, Bruce. Sounds like you are doing a wonderful job as sponsor to LeeAnn. You should pat yourself on the back and enjoy the corner that has been turned. Thanks for sharing. :hug:

Wow Margie! I'm so sorry you have had such a rough time of it. I truly hope things look up for you soon.. take care.:hug:

Congrats Dorrie! What an amazing experience you and your friend were able to share. You're right, witnessing a new life entering this world is truly a miracle. You have so much to be proud of. Your'e influence on this young woman probably saved her life and now helped to bring a new life into this world. Amazing.:)

Hang in there everyone. Wishing you all a better day.:grouphug:

(love the pics of your squishy lil one, Cin) She's a Keeper!! :)

Hey, ya'll. Cool and rainy here today. It's a good day to work on the endless photo project (what was I thinking!?!). This past year, I'm in the process of scanning 10s of thousands of family pics that span more than 90 years, all taken by Kodak-crazy people who don't know the meaning of "too much of a good thing"! I'll be selling DVDs of them as a collection. Hey, my sibs and fam can afford it! LOL, anything for a buck!:cool:

I'm officially 3 weeks away from my big trip and mentally packing now. It will be a challenge to pack light for 3-seasons, but it's an art and I'm up to the challenge.

Not feeling especially peppy, but that's okay, I don't need to start overdoing it just now.

Not feeling especially "Peppy", you say? I haven't felt peppy in so long, I almost forget what it feels like.:confused: Once in awhile, I will feel peppy in my heart and mind, but the 'ol body has a mind of it's own.:rolleyes:

I guess you have to be doing something or at least planning something, for "Peppy" to come into play.. I wish I were planning a trip with you, Cin. I know, I know...you vant to be alone..sheesh, Ok, already. I'm really sick of taking vicarious trips, though I want the real thing.

The truth is, I hate to travel by car. I get sick, stiff and cranky...LOL. I love to go places, but not the travel part. I wanna hurry to get there and when I've had my fill, hurry to get back home.

I admit, I'm getting excited for you, Cin. I hope this isn't your last fling and I hope that it's all you want it to be. WooooooHoooooo, you go girl!!!

It is quite cool here too. That is an ok thing though as we are heading out very soon to go camping for the week.Setting up will be much nicer in the cool air! Then a little warmer would be nice...not too warm though! You all have a great week!!:grouphug:

We had RAIN yesterday. RAIN RAIN RAIN!!!! Yeah. It cooled things down about 30 degrees. I hope it didn't spark any new fires because there was some lightening associated with it!

The wind blew and it poured RAIN! It was soooo nice!

Congrats Dorrie on the godchild!

Margie, we are here for ya!

Sorry that poochie is not well DM!

Hey to everyone else!

Maryann, how did miss that your Pupper is sick. :( I hate it, when our little friends are sick...bah..not fair. I used to have 2 long Haired Dauchies. Aren't they special? I loved them. One lived to be 15 and the other, only until 3..:(

I hope that your doggy still has a few good years left.,They just leave us way too soon. :( Give us an update, please. How is your little poochy doing? Better, I pray.

((((((((((((Maryann)))))))))))))))))

Thanks Sal! The Vet's pretty sure Maggie May has Lymphoma. She's doing very well on the Roids... The Vet doesn't know how much time she has, so of course, we are just spoiling her like we normally do.

Have Fun Dorrie> Camping is such a great relaxing get a way. We love it.

Hey FG? I'm sorry about all the fires going on your way. Enough already...

On an upside~ DH and I visited a dear friend tonight who is in Rehab from a horrific accident. She's amazing. She has 6 wks left in her neck halo and today was walking.... Plus a plate in her pelvis, crushed wrist, etc.

I am trying to learn from her. I go there to make her feel better and come away feeling BETTER myself. Amazing.

Just like all of you,:grouphug:
