Happy Girlfriend Day

Friends Love To Share Views

If you go to the website to look at the other signs, be warned the language gets pretty graphic sometimes.

Have a nice weekend everyone, I'm wearin' my red shirt! Leaving to go work on "dad" stuff. He needs his attic insulated, we're supposed to get a heat wave here in for the next few days.

P.S. They sell red t-shirts with a picture of that sign on it.

[jaycee]

Whoa...I believe she ate two dogs!

[jaycee]

That is a great sign....just what we all believe in!

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

I leave for a few months/years, and you’re in here frying up cats!!!

Hope all is well, past time to go home.

PAL

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

I read through pretty quickly and didn’t see anything about “red friday’s”, so I thought I better put up a post.

I gotta go for now, nice to meet you. If I get enough work done, maybe I can FReep on Monday.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Ping to 107

[jaycee]

[JustAmy]

Sorry PAL.

Usually Luv or Conor come by with a Wear Red on Friday post.

I will work it into our Friday threads after I come back from vacation.

Gotta leave soon to go stand on the corner for our troops.

Hope things are working out with you Dad.

[yorkie]

[ST.LOUIE1]

I had forgotten that name until I spent some time going through the Archives. LOL Better come home soon, Louie!

Who's St.Louie1? Do I know him? Seems like I have a faint - very faint - memory of someone like that who used to post here. :)

Hey.......you two have become one big crybaby. : (

Wolfie loves you both. Now, hush up! He'll return in the not too distant future. : )

AhhhhhhRoooooo!!

[jaycee]

Some of us ought to post something patriotic every Friday and remind everyone to wear RED for our Military, just a small post or medium or whatever! I would like that! As follows:

~~Wear Red Today for our Military~~

[jaycee]

Darn it, I meant to address my last post to you and Amy! See my post 117. I thought each of us could do one post or whoever would like to do it. What do you think?

[jaycee]

I have heard his name a thousand times but don’t believe I was ever posting when he was. What about that post a while ago with his name....was that him posting?

[jaycee]

She swims like a fish...she can’t stand to get out of the water. I love her little name...its Addyson!

When I’m up there she yells constantly over and over “Watch me, Nana, watch me.”

I remember my own kids yelling the same thing when they were little. They would want me to watch them out the kitchen window if they were sleigh riding or doing anything. Then when they came in they would say “Did you see me, Mama?” Kids seek approval from a very early age, don’t they?

[jaycee]

Can’t wait to hear from Lori....she was excited when I got my camera and she said I would eventually catch on~~LOL~~

[yorkie]

JC you are doing GREAT! What are you talking about? I love your posts and pictures!

[MEG33]

Good Evening Everyone

I'm Wearing Red On Friday To Support Our Troops

[Cardhu]

Well Derly I rode my bicycle for the first time today in months and had to lower the seat about 3 inches so I could mount it — gotta get some streatching exercises.

[jaycee]

[jaycee]

So very pretty, Meg!

[MEG33]

;o)

I’m signing off...Have a good weekend.

[jaycee]

Meg, I took this picture about 3 weeks ago. I have these lilies and yellow ones too on the bank at the pool. They do most of their blooming in June and just now and then thereafter. I didn't frame anything because I'm tired. Some of my impatience at the edge of patio and carport are at the bottom.and don't worry, I won't be posting like this all the time. Now I'm practicing and you are the flower girl.

[LUV W]

Sorry...I've been running late all day! LOL!

Angels and Prayers are with you
and your family
Every day, all day...

[DollyCali]

remember this????

[DollyCali]

lovely flowers

[yorkie]

OK - we know ye ain’t daid! Now, git yer ‘back-side’ back here more often than not! Ye are obviously missed! ;-)

[yorkie]

Whew! Mine’s not there.

[RogerWill]

Cardhu, you have outdone yourself again! The ‘Dancers’ is great. The ‘Cheese Markets’ could use a little ‘cheesie music’ but other than that is wonderful and informative. Your presentations make my day.......along with all the other ‘stuff’ that so many contribute...especially the graphics!

[OESY]

Welcome back, Tina. It's about time you checked in with your old friends.

As far as fried cats go, only lamb fries beats them. Just ask Chevy Chase. Right.

.

[OESY]

Funny. Just tonight I got a slew of this guy’s signs sent to me by email.

[DollyCali]

Well, can always do a Amy’s Place Collage...this of course is from a few years ago & the Finest crew!

I would need to start soliciting pix (as you note, no one there is IDd). many of us know each other however ...

Many people are not happy even with anonymous pix..

[OESY]

Addyson sounds delightful. These are the times you'll cherish as she grows up.

.

[ConorMacNessa]

Happy Friday to Amy’s Place!

---

Wearing Red to support our Troops on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan and around the world!

[DollyCali]

Amy, it is just about time for our fresh raspberries to begin ready for harvest..

I love the u pick um places & eat as much as I contain to take home.

will keep this recipe handy. It looks wonderful!

raspberries are very good for you.. imagine the extra value of dark chocolate & raspberries in a recipe?

[LUV W]

LOL!

Good evening later-than-me! Hope you have a great weekend,
Conor!

[WVNan]

Kids seek approval from a very early age, don’t they?

You are so right. Addyson is beautiful. You are blessed that she has come into your life, and she is blessed to have a "Nana". "Watch me!" is universal from small children. I had Miss Em today and she does the same thing. "Grammy, Grammy, watch me! I'm a big girl now."

[JustAmy]

I think he has been in hiding. See post #116.

[Kitty Mittens]

Oh, Amy, that is the Most Adorable Graphic!! Thank you for All you Do to Make this a Beautiful Place of Happiness and Fun!

[Kitty Mittens]

So Beautiful, Dear Jaycee! (((((Hugs)))))!

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Kitty Mittens.

Thank you for those sweet words and the beautiful roses.

Good night; Pleasant Dreams.

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank you, Dear Yorkie! What a Blessing to my Heart!

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Dolly. Thank you ... that pie sounded delicious.

Just got home from our Rally. I’m tired so will be heading to bed soon.

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Conor. Thank you for bringing our favorite lady wearing red for our troops.

I just got home from our Support the Troops Rally .... guess what? I’m wearing red for our guys and gals in the military!!
