I'm surprised Hobbes is not laying on your shoulder. Congratulation on the success of the opening. I know you put a lot of hard work into it.
Holy cow, you and R sick on your honeymoon. Ya'll will just have to plan another trip on your one year anniversary to make up for this one. Glad you are both better.
That looks scrumptious. I love any kind of pasta. I must have Italian blood somewhere in my genetic makeup.
I don't know how it is in other parts of the country but until you get the PARENTS involved with their children's education it does not matter how much money you pour into a program, it will fail. My husband has a sister-in-law whose 17 year old daughter dropped out of high school at 15! This girl still lives at home, has no job but has a cell phone, a computer and I noticed she has her nails done professionally. When she was 15, she had a 21 year old boyfriend. Parents have got to get more involved in their children's lives and education for any statistics to improve.
Bless your heart! I bet it's sensitive to touch. I have never tried it and don't believe I will since you warned me. I have the same problem so I will just keep plucking. Thanks for the info.
Beautiful face! Lots of love and patience will turn her around. Hopefully she will find a loving home and settle down. I can't believe you have so many hummingbirds on your feeders. Mine has been our for two weeks and I have not had the first visitor yet. Hard to believe you are wearing cold weather clothes. The temperature here today is 97°; no breeze, just HOT.
You definitely did the right thing. How sad that they cannot be proud of you and what you have accomplished instead of being envious and resentful. They will be unhappy all of their lives because that is what they want. I admire your courage.
Very nice homes. Your granddaughter looks so grown up in the picture reading the newspaper.....looks to be about 13! When I first met you on the other blog site she was just a toddler. Boy, time flies.
