Forget the blood droplets though....tooooooo hard to get out of a pillowcase! ;-)))

Don't I know it. Did I mention that I'm the one doing the laundry in the "Smith" household?

[LadyPilgrim]

LOLOLO

Oh my yes, you poor dear!

I’ve got holes in some I’ve tried to clean! LOLOLOL!!!
Nothing seems to work! ;-)

[TheMom]

Almost bought some shoes ~ Dillards had a great sale!

My mother said I could have whatever I wanted, I chose this . . .

Once again, I have a set of dishes that match.

[TheMom]

Wendy’s does have some really good fries. hmmmmmm

[laurenmarlowe]

Happy Birthday TheMom!

[LadyPilgrim]

Oh nooooo...that’s my favorite of all time!!! DISHES!!!!!
Other than shoes, that is!!! LOLOL!!!

You have a neat Mother.
I have one of those too!

She’s getting older though, not the same mentally.
I miss how she was before.

[Allegra]

Once again, I have a set of dishes that match.

Those look like they'd accommodate enchiladas just fine. But I'd really have to try it out to make sure. And yeah, probably try those out for breakfast the next morning, too, knowing how we are....;-)

Happy Birthday, Girlfriend!!

Why am I up so late you ask? No, not because I got stuck in the shower stall this time....we were just errr...violating General Order #1. Off to bed now - have a GREAT rest of the day!! *HUGS*

[LadyPilgrim]

Nite nite Allegra!! {{{HUGS}}} to you girl! ;-)))

[TheMom]

Thank you ever so much!

I need to remember to hang out here more, I really miss all of you.

[TheMom]

I cannot remember how long it has been since I had a set of dishes that matched. We thought with have brats in the house, why bother! (Only one brat left in the house!)

[TheMom]

Thanks my fellow Wander!

It is really cool to have a friend that has made some major changes in Iraq . . . like getting all the shower stalls upgraded. *LOL*

[luvie]

Hey! Sounds good to me. As long as it isn’t McDonalds. Ugh.

Anyhoo...have all the best! See ya next spring—sometime, somewhere! :D

[luvie]

What happened to all the food? Did it get gobbled up already! Sheesh...a girl can’t catch a break around here! :D

[luvie]

....and like Allegra says, I think they will accomodate the KA enchiladas just fine!

Very nice dishes!

[LadyPilgrim]

Hey sweet Luvy....here you go....take your choice!!! ;-)))

Or maybe this! ;-)

[luvie]

Dat’s better! :D

((((hugs))))...thank you!

Good to see you for a few minutes anyway!
We’re off to “real” dinner in a few.

Thanks for being here. I am sure that the
troops DREAM of food like you post!

[LadyPilgrim]

Bookmarked the stories about the pirates for reading later. Neat stories, Sand.

[TheMom]

We almost missed those dishes. There were some that were really nice, but just did not ding my bell. As we were walking out of the store those dishes jumped up and said “Hello, what about me?”.

BTW - the KickAss Enchiladas are always served in glass pie plates.
