Hi, I was hoping someone else would start a thread today. I hope your not all froze up. Gee, It is cold here, and won't get any better for a few days either. We even got a little snow.

Hi Billie, it is very very cold here also. I looked at my thermometer outside my back door this morning at 7 and it was about 24 degrees. Now for us that is cold. I worry about all the homeless in our town and how they are doing. We have a large population of homeless here I think because of the gambling that goes on. I know many who have lost a great deal thinking the next roll was going to get them caught up.

Anyway, I loved seeing your picture of Bear. What a cutie. I will try to put a pic of my dogs up. Also how does Bear like traveling in your new SUV? He probably loves all the room. I know my dogs love to go for a ride with me.

Not much else going on, just another day of the same ole, same ole. I will add though that I have not had sweets at all since the new year. I have not bought any donuts or rolls and my only treat is a fat free italian ice cup that I have every 2-3 days when I am feeling like I NEED a treat . ...Sue

I would like to introduce you to my newest doll. We just love her. Bear is so excited too! Gaye sent her to me and I named her Grace.

Bear just loves the SUV, Sue. He doesn't run all over tho. He just sits up like a person and behaves.

awwww...they look so cute together.

i'm here.

housework and still trying to fix the clubs computer. i have gotten some headway. not sure f it can be salvaged, but i want to atleast get important info off of it.

spaghettie last night for dinner. made a homemade marinara suace. cooked it in the crock pot all day. no meat...no fat. lots of veggies. it was really good. used a whole wheat pasta. lots of salad.

i didn';t start my day off right though..no breakfast. that is not good. it really has been helping. i'm not a big morning eater. but your body needs the fuel. so tomorrow...i promise myself...breakfast..something small.

i love all your pics billie.

stay warm sue. the breads can be a killer huh? the italoan ice is a fave of mine. fruit also helps with the sweet cravings. even a little thing like a tic tac can help. not as much fun, but it helps.

Gals~ I have so many mixed emotions today. It is my husbands birthday. I'm sooo sad one minute, then happy the next. My cousin is coming for a visit tomorrow and we are going out to eat. I haven't seen her since October. Our husbands both died of cancer. Her's passed 2 years eariler than mine.

Then get the beautiful doll today. I've never had one, this nice before. I have cabbage patch ones and they are ugly cute. Grace is so sweet and hugable. Real like a baby, cute. Gaye just up and sent her to me and she collects dolls. I can't imagine why she would just give her to me. I have don't nothing to deserve her. That's why I named her Grace. I did like her from I picture of Gaye's dolls, but I had no idea she would look so life like.

Did I tell you, I don't think so? Gaye is flying up to see me in June. I am very excited about that. Our town has a Festival we are going to. People from all around come to it. It is a Pottery Festival. There are all kinds of yard sales everywhere. I live in town now, so we can go to everything or come back and rest. I plan on us having a good time.
