oh do it-please take a nap for all of us!

Thinking of you all out there with so much on your plates.

I am getting ready to shut down my computer and pack it up. But, I will be in touch, some, through my little netbook, and my i-phone. Hope all my friends here will be able to keep on trucking, and finding some love, laughter, joy, and support while walking through all of this 'stuff' on our plates.... It will likely be several weeks before I am fully online again.

Will miss you my friend!!!

I'll be here when you get back!!!

(((Mistiis)))

Stay well, happy, safe and keep letting your lovely light shine!
I am looking forward to your return!

Safe journey Mistiis, and hope your move turns out the way you want. Let us know when you get settled, but don't forget there are Internet access places if you get withdrawals from SOS while you're waiting.

What am I doing today? Looking forward to a visit from a girlfriend.

She and I were 12 years old when we were both the new girls on our first day at a new school. Both our families had relocated, so as new girls we naturally teamed up ... and have been close ever since. 12 years old.... Hmmmm! I hate to say this, but seeing I'm getting old now at 38 years old (plus or minus 20 years) ... that makes us bestest friends for 46 years now!

Gosh I'm looking forward to seeing her. She's staying the night so I'm planning a nice dinner party!

At the moment I'm waiting for my cousin to arrive (she's late as usual), but she's just popping in for coffee!

What's on your plate today?

I'm of course wondering how Koala's visit with her old friend went and what was literally on the dinner plate..*grin

Barbo and I had a wonderful lunch at one of our fav. restaurants and got caught up...or think we did... We're going to make a list of what we forgot to tell each other.

I think I finally found a place for everything...funny how one "new" thing can make you rearrange everything..(we had an old table refinished) I think everything has found a new spot..

I keep looking at that little cauliflower growing in my garden and wondering how I'll know when to pick it..it's about the size of my fist right now...any suggestions?

Well, Alffe, you know...when it looks like it is ready to be picked-and hopefully about half a day before the pests find it.
I remember on the farm, my FIL would always try to get the sweet corn close to it's peak, but just gefore the coons decided it was ripe. many times you could hear him grumbling because they would have a moonlit picnic before the morning he showed up to pick the sweet corn.
Here in Iowa, people get crazy about their sweetcorn; even going so far as to have a huge pot of water boiling on the stove while they are picking it-now THAT's fresh sweet corn!
BTW, I wish some of that fresh Iowa sweet corn was on my plate right now-but no.
On my plate is a lot of work that is overdue and long hours ahead trying to keep my spirits up so I can do it, instead of just putting it back for "a better time".
I sure wish I was a neighbor to some of you. I love tackling work with the Buddy System! I could help you do your work, and you could help me. And we could grumble and gossip all the way through it. oops, I mean we could have uplifting talk while we worked! lol

I just CLEARED my plate!



of debt!!!!

I finished reading Olive Kitteridge while on the train coming home from Chicago. It's a wonderful book! There is a "suggestion" of suicide in many of these short stories. Is it me or am I just "lucky"?

Must admit that I love having the new branch library right down the street from us. Recently read Still Alice..about a woman with altzheimers from her own point of view. Scary, very touching.

Waiting to hear from Barbo about lunch...*grin. It's lunch out or go cut the grass. I'm also either getting lots of, or no company soon.

Please remember Abbie with prayers and positive thoughts for Friday's decision.
