Wonder Thread #275
 

I wonder that the number 275 sounded good to me so I came here to do a 275th wonder.

I wonder how cute granddoody was the other day playing in the flower sprinkler in the back yard and a big bucket of water.

I wonder that I feel sad for Mrs. Alffe and the illness of her friend.

I wonder that my favorite uncle is also dying from cancer...throat cancer.

I wonder that I have the Northwest territories on my mind, but can't make a decision about where to take a vacation. I've had 2 offers for visits, and yet I can't make a decision. Boy, there's a newsflash (but not to anyone who knows me well).

I wonder how much I MISS my granddoody. He is in eastern Iowa this week visiting his great grandparents (on his dad's side). Don't know what to do with myself...so used to being with him on an almost daily basis. Daddy goes to pick him up on Friday..that will come soon enough.

I wonder that I'm glad the weather here turned so beautiful today. Cooler temps...at least granddoody won't have to suffer with heat (like he did last year in August when he went there).

Think I'll take a bath and continue watching the Dexter series. Just started and am still on season 1. Love the library.

Wonder that I'll leave love and hugs and a cute picture.

I wonder at how blessed I am to have Grand-Addy at my house for 3 sleeps! She's almost 4 now.. and absolutely positively the best age ever! We have such a delightful time together!

I wonder if it will be dry enough to plant my patio garden today... Grand-Addy is very helpful now!

I wonder why Doody would like to see the Northwest Territories... I wonder what it would be like... and I wonder if Doody-sis knows I'm very sincere with my invite!... I'm on the way to the northwest territories!

I wonder how happy I was to read that Lara is moving to a new place ... I think she said it was closer to her beloved ocean!

Hugs to everyone!
:sing: Addy

I wonder if Addy got her garden planted...Love little green things growing and blooming.

I wonder if Doody has decided where she'll go...where ever that is the people will love her...wish it could be here again. :(

I wonder that I got my hair cut yesterday...very short so my face looks/is fat again....:rolleyes:

I wonder that I got my new glasses and I hope that my Bizi thinks they are fashionable when she sees them...:p

I also wondered at how dirty my house is now that I can see it again!! Told Mr.Alffe that he should have told me or swept it himself!! My vision had completely changed...now I can see like a hawk again and read!!! :o

I wonder how excited I am about all three of our girls coming on Fathers Day for a visit...should be a lot of fun..everyone wants to do "their thing"..Rise & Roll bakery in Amish country, Lighthouse Mall in Michigan City, Pancake House for Apple pancakes....we may have to split up to fit it all in...:D

I wonder that reading the first wonder here at Neurotalk was very very most awesome :D. Thank you Tamiloo . :hug:

Now I wonder what my first wonder I wondered here says? hummmmm . wonder if I can hunt that far back? Wonder if Tamiloo had magic working that. ;)

Wonder on Abbie and leaving gentle hug :hug::hug:
Wonder on it being time to leave low pain wishes, strength, positive vibes, prayers and hug to the broom room, the ones on the sidelines lurking and all the readers.:grouphug::grouphug:
PEACE
BMW

I wonder that we can't see the first Wonder Thread because it was on BrainTalk.....long gone and not archived. :(

I wonder how much I enjoyed reading the first one here...thanks Tammi. :hug:

I wonder that I had to Google "duck face" to find out what my grandaughter was talking about on fb....:o

I wonder if I did the right thing by sending The Next Place to my dying friends daughters...they are struggling so seeing their mom in so much pain..:(

I wonder if I'll like sweet potato fries as much as Barbo does...we'll find out!

I wonder if Lara got moved??? Miss you lady!!!

I wonder if wren is baking cookies??? :hug:

I wonder what Doody is up to...am sure it involes little man...:hug:

I wonder how nice it was to see BMW wonder....*grin

I wonder if Alffe knows i LOVE sweet potato fries :rolleyes:

I wonder at how much i enjoyed my stroll down memory lane last night reading a lot of the old wonder threads.

I wonder at how sad i was yesterday when i saw one of our residents dressed in a suit going to his high school sweethearts funeral.... they had been married over 70 years.... i know sometimes death is a blessing but there are times it totally sucks.:(

I wonder that now, I also LOVE sweet potato fries....

I wonder if anyone has tried to make them....

I wonder how nice it was to get in the hot tub last night...been awhile..:confused:

I wonder that its taken you so long to discover Sweet Potato fries, Alffee!!!

I wonder if you should try Pinterest to find a good recipe - they can burn easily because of their sugar content... but take absolutely forever on a low temp so its recommended high temp. The potatoes are very hard and buggers to chop up! I went through a phase where I loved them.

I wonder that I've got a ton of wonders and must discipline myself to get my work done so...

I wonder when I'll wonder again.

:sing: Addy :grouphug:

:p I wonder if anyone makes Creme Fraiche ...... or if anyone can pronounce that?

Wren
 

I've never made it but I think it's pronounced Krem Fresh.

I wonder that I am clueless about how to pronounce it.

I wonder if wren will try one of these and let us know...:p

I wonder if Goofy is empty nesting....:hug:

I wonder that we are getting into the hot tub and then going to bed...don't care if it's still light outside.

I wonder if I can leave hugs for the room..especially Doody and Tammi..:grouphug:

I wonder that I wish I were getting into that hot tub as well. :(

I wonder that it was fun reading the 1st wonder thread. I think about the Braintalk wonder threads now and again.

I wonder that it amazes me the number of friends I have made since going to Braintalk in 1994. That's a long time.

I wonder that I wish all of the internet friends that I've made, and met, lived in one community.

I wonder that I can now get a teeny tiny pony tail. Letting my hair grow out. One last hurrah? My Grandma Peterson had white hair down to her waist and I remember watching her undo her bun/braid at night and sitting at her dressing table brushing it out. Then in the morning back up it would go. I loved her so much.

I wonder that I had my first big smile today just a bit ago driving down my street. A momma duck and 6 ducklings crossed the street right in front of me.

I wonder that I also have a Mr. & Mrs. Mallard come and eat my bird food in the driveway every day, then they fly off to the west. I don't know where to, but perhaps the small lake by the community college.

I think I already wondered once about the mallards.

I wonder how much I miss my GrandDoody. I only have him 2 days a week this summer. The other 3 he spends at his former day care (for school age kids, day camp).

I wonder how my precious daughter is doing. A friend of her's just found out that her baby no longer has a heart beat. She is almost 2 months pregnant and is devastated. Anyway, now my daughter is grieving again over the baby she lost just 2 short months ago.

I wonder if I already posted this cute picture of GrandDoody...after he dipped his head in the bucket.

I wonder that I need to go take a bath so am leaving hugs and love for the room.

Oh...I wonder that I really miss seeing David's posts here.

I wonder that a bit of my sense of humor came out last night... I'll get to the point in a second....

I wonder that I was in a bad mood because the charging cord for my Nook Tablet, which I bought in Feb or March was not working. So I took it to the local Barnes & Noble. First they told me I would have to purchase a new cord. I was having no part of that....not with it being so new.

I wonder if I looked angry enough that it made the Nook specialist call the manager over...guess so..:rolleyes: cause he then asked the manager and I told him I've only had it a few months. He said call and have it replaced. :D

I wandered back to the back area just in case he needed any information from me.... I wonder that he did... He put me on the phone with support. I gave her all of my information... she asked if there was anything else I needed... I said no, just the power cord as it makes it a little hard to read when my Nook goes dead.

I wonder why she stumbled for words and the guy who was helping laughed? I was just being honest. :D

Oh well... guess ya had to be there..
Abbie

I wonder that Abbie made me lol...nice way to begin a new day.

I wonder that I am getting a little better on my "tablet" but boy is it sensitive to touch.

I wonder that our Goofy has a birthday today and i forgot it...I forget most things...~sigh maybe Doody is right and I am just getting old...I certainly hope so but then I'm a skeptic.

I wonder that our Cassie won the battle of the ferns..she digs by the house for a cool place to sleep...has dug up all the ferns there and made holes...gets so filthy and I'm too old to bathe her. I put a bunch of bricks there and Mr.Alffe got me stones to fill them in...we shall see if that is the end of it.

I wonder if I shared that we walked blocks in NY behind Jessica Parker and her kids (Sex & the City) they going to breakfast, we'd just come down from the Hi Line...she was a normal looking/acting person with "tiny feet".

And I wonder if people now think I told Ms. Alffe she's old. :D

I wonder that I'm sitting on my porch looking at my potted flowers. I stared at my pink petunias for a few moments...trying to remember what they were. :eek:

I too wonder at how touchy this tablet is. Sitting at the computer is so much easier.

Speaking of skeptic, I wonder that there is a wise woman in my life who calls me Oh Ye of Little Faith.

I wonder if I can say that, since my father-in-law's death in April, we're still swamped with taking care of his house and affairs, etc. We've been cleaning out cabinets, moving furniture....and our son (who is now fully back with our family for those of you who've been hanging in there with me in this journey!) was given his grandparent's beautiful dining room furniture...six chairs, huge table, china cabinet, etc. He also was given all of the living room tables...2 end tables, coffee table, sofa table....all cherry to match the dining room furniture. It was a very emotional day today. Our two grandchildren were with us and it made it a wonderful day in many ways.

I wonder if I can say that there have been so many things working together in this past year which have brought our family, as a whole, together again. We've realized where our true priorities rest and, even though hubby's and my priorities were on target, it's nice to see that other family members have come around.....it's good to finally have everyone going in one direction for a change...so much more convenient! Our son is getting married next year and is happier than he's been since he was, probably, about ten years old.

I wonder if I can say that I will have to pass the "hippiechick" down to our 11 year old granddaughter....she was home with us after moving the furniture today and going through jewelry that I'd made last year. After putting nine bracelets on each arm, 6 ankle bracelets on each ankle, 7 rosaries around her neck as necklaces and 4 of them around her head, she truly looked like a child from the '70's....so adorable....and, at 11 years old, already 2 inches taller than her gram.....so not funny. But she got a kick out of it when hubby called me "midget".....whatever!!!

I wonder if I can say that I still feel sad that my fil is gone....we miss him a lot but know that he's not in pain anymore and he can hear again. For the last 12 years of his life, he couldn't hear any of us and we wrote everything to him....but we did it because we didn't want him to miss a second of anything. And he didn't miss a thing....odd that, when you don't hear, you speak incredibly loudly...but it was okay...just a part of his charm. I'm convinced that he could hear us before he died. In the past several hours before his death, he really didn't respond to anything, but I kissed him and told him that I loved him and he told me that he loved me, too. I believe he heard everything I said to him at that point. I wonder if that's really true; I want to believe it is....I do believe it is.

I wonder that our family is incredibly blessed...I used to think lucky; it goes beyond that. We know that we're so far beyond luck...we're thankful to be blessed. We're thankful for our son being back in our lives....that's such a miracle....and we're thankful for everything that comes along our way....we've had our share of troubles, but we choose to focus on the good....the great. In the end, it's so much greater!!!

I wonder if hippiechick knows that she is inspirational to me and I am very very happy for her and her family. :hug:

I wonder if Doody knows that I understand her missing her little man and I loved the picture of him...:D

I wonder that getting into the hot tub again last night makes going to sleep a lot easier (in the light) and didn't mind getting up at 5:00 a.m. ;)

I wonder if Doody knows that I remember our fun together in the hot tub and how our "waiter" spoiled us....*grin

I wonder that I've already made bread (thanks moi) this morning...wanted to get that hot oven off before the heat of the day comes...:eek:

I wonder if Dottie knows that I so appreciate her reminding me of her "pact" and how much I admire her willingness to help....

I wonder how many here will remember me...heehee
I wonder how everyone is doing.
I wonder if i could share that i just became a gramma 3 months ago.
I have "the most beautiful"grandson<3
I wonder if i will remember to come back more often.

I wonder how I could be happy again?

I wonder how the dogs will do on their training today

I wonder if I will get the bike out today and if I will get any chores done

I wonder if anything sounds as pretty as the creek and the birds singing after the rain

I wonder where Zenda lives... in Canada. I'm in Canada where it is pouring rain! ... the WETcoast! blah summer!

I wonder how exhausting it is to have a battle of wits with an almost-4-year-old... I keep losing! lol... I guess Grammas are allowed to give in a little, eh?! ;)

I wonder how Lara's move is going... miss her!

I wonder if Addy knows I am near enough to the Wetcoast to be getting some rain too!

I wonder if Addy sees the weather report for the coming week.

It is going to be really hot here beginning tomorrow

I wonder if the neighbours will make Hay while the sun shines....
