It sounds lovely. I envy you your familyclose by and available and loving. I have first cousins I am close to but they are in Illinois -- we talk on the phone from time to time, long conversations. I think I'll call today. I have a nephew on the other Florida coast, who likes me but is into his own life and never is in touch. Of course, he knows his father would discourage any connection to me. As for his dad, my late sister's husband, we wave hello when passing ... I've dropped him because he is ballistic about my being a Democrat. Off the wall crazy. How sad.
Lovely.
This is the most excruciating of losses and it seems you will never survive the emotional devastation. You have been very strong as, certainly, Bobby has. My heart goes out to you.
Most we have had to deal with here, was possums in the attic and that was pricey enough. You have a lot of cleanup ahead of you.
The years fly by. Your kitty family has grown and so has your group on MyBloggers.
I am very gregarious in public, chatting with anyone I'm sharing space with. I haven't been walking much, but when I get back to it, I expect to meet new people. Several I knew have passed and I miss them. In the market, I often strike up conversations and people are 99 percent responsive. Occasionally, there is the rare curmudgeon. Ed is in cardio rehab and he said he was willing to join me in a modest daily walk. So far, he hasn't wanted to. I'm working on him.
I don't know what a 4.0 Princess is, but it sounds wonderful. So happy for you Grannie, and for Bobbie. This has to give him a lift. It is also interesting to learn Adrienne is interested in engineering. (Mechanical? Electrical?) Not many girls are. Keep us posted.
All that bureaucratic language put me to sleep. I look at a lot of catalogs from different vendors, then find the item on Amazon and order from them. Usually they have it for less. So what's this about dragons?
Stunning work Jon. I love it.
Your daddy is a laugh riot. So, Jon did the pretty lady have any reaction?
Royalty intrigues Americans and I admit that the myth is absorbing. But the reality of the British royal family, for instance, is not an admirable one. William and Kate seem to be totally unlike the rest of them. I wish them ell.
Facebook has its uses, but I do not find it as sociable as MyBloggers. That sounds odd. Its info is in snippets, there is no in depth story-telling. I'd rather hear your story. I use Facebook for finding old friends, for targeting right wing public figures and telling them what I think after I have heard them spewing lies on TV. It's great for that.
When we bought our last computer (from Staples) it was a Hewlett-Packard and now it is mine and Ed has the new one. Suddenly we had 25 popups a minute and couldn't get rid of them. I then learned that software installed when you buy a new computer comes pre-loaded with adware -- someone is making money out of doing this. This time around, we told the Staples tech to please delete all adware and he did. No problem.
It is dismaying when people who are doing good works, decide that some people do not deserve to benefit from same. There's a dismal us and them aspect to it, and is it envy because those denied had nicer houses?
