Pancakes on Wednesday and goodies with Tonk ~ Bump!

[Spotsy]

Hi Gummy! Long time, no see. Had to share with you that I went exploring in our great state. I went all the way to Culpepper. (20 miles? heeheee) Haven't been there in years. Beautiful countryside!

How are things in your neck of the woods? We are still mowing grass here.

[Spotsy]

ROFLMBO!! Been there, done that!! He he he!!

So embarassing. Good thing it wasn't anything personal.
Happy Wednesday Star!

[beachn4fun]

Honey.......we're still trying to figure out how they managed to get this development under way (of course we've speculated about money changing hands, but NAH no one would do that) BUT it is there regardless of all the protests that went on for years and years.

BTW, I am hoping it is my final! Please God! As for the bronzing thing, I'm not sure yet. I'll probably just stick in a book somewhere! Nah, just kidding. Maybe frame it. After all, I will be the first in my family to be a college grad!

And, I do appreciate positive thinking on your part!

No, it was a typo. They are talking about little Sara, 3 and a half weeks old. Fatima's family is going through tough times now...

[beachn4fun]

Good news. Thanks.

Don't know if this has been posted yet, but this is an old Jewish folk saying:

"One should not stand at the foot of a sick person's bed, because that place is reserved for the guardian angel."

Happy Hanukkah

[beachn4fun]

Ok. Hope all went well. See you in a while.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

counting down with you darkwing! YEAH!

[StarCMC]

Man, that is tough. I hope it's nothing and all the tests are precautions only. I can't imagine it - made me give Jacob an extra hug this morning.

[StarCMC]

Oh, I like that!!!

[HiJinx]

Ummmm...yummy looking pancakes!

Need to provide info and direction more often, methinks!

PS: I did post a PP demo many moons ago, in the early days of the Canteen...it was a real pain...I actually had to create links to web pages and open the presentation in a new browser window...

[fritzz]

Me, too. Thanks Star.

[USAF_TSgt]
