Wow, thank you all for the anniversary congrats. {:-) Somehow it doesn't seem like a long time, yet we've been together 3 times longer than not. I was 19 when we were married, 20 when our first son was born, and 21 when our first daughter was born. . .
I took notes when I was here the other night, but didn't post as I was just too tired. So if anything sounds weird, please disregard it. . . {:-)
My stupid computer is scanning again. It does that every time I want to type, so most of the time I'm typing in the "dark", and have to go back and correct my mistakes after it's done scanning. {:-(
Mary, my allergies don't seem too bad this spring, but the arthritis in my hands -- especially my left hand -- is really acting up. I've got some cream that I got from a friend who sells Arbonne, and it helps quite a bit, but it's very expensive -- $60 for a small jar.
We drove home from Edmonton last Tues, got home around 6:40 p.m. carried our stuff into the house, set it down and turned around and got right back into the car. Got to our granddaughter's piano recital at 6:55 p.m. This is her first recital, and she played a duet with her teacher. It was actually very good. This teacher interspersed the new kids between kids that can play good already, and it really made the recital bearable.
Sandi, you got to meet Robyn Carr????? Oh, you lucky duck!!!!!
This house we live in is about as far from my dream house as you could get and still live in a house, but when we moved in to it, I swore I would never move again. 12 yrs later and I still say the same thing!
I've got 3 "chip clips" and about 2 doz. other clips. I use them for everything -- if it's in my house, it's got a clip on.
I wrote down "Had to laugh_ _ _" which was supposed to remind me of something you said. But that was a couple of days ago, and I can't remember what it was supposed to be. I'll have to go back and re-read the messages later, and then post another message.
Trudy, Daytona -- isn't that where car races happen? Is the beach close to there" Ugg on holding things in your lap while you travel. I'd have chosen a different vehicle, too. We just got home from visiting my folks in Edmonton -- 16 hour round trip in a 21 yr old car. They don't make 'em like that any more.
Donna M, yes! I believe spring is here to stay!!! At least it's stayed so far. We had a very nice rain yesterday. Got 1". We really needed it, our ground is parched.
You got a laptop? Cool! Hardy says when we get a laptop he'll learn to use it. I won't be holding my breath waiting. . . I use laptops for powerpoint at our church. I like them.
Cool picture of the flag! {:-)
I read 5 books while we were gone, and several more since we've been back. I have 82 titles on my list so far this year. I've been reading a series by Karen MacInerney, A Gray Whale Inn Mystery. She's also the author of a series called Tales of an Urban Werewolf. I haven't read any of them yet, but I'm enjoying the Gray Whale Inn Mysteries. There are some really good recipies at the end of each book. I also read a book called Beads of Doubt which was written by Barbara Burnett Smith, and finished by Karen MacInerney when BBS was killed in a car accident. There's also a book #1 about beads, which also is a mystery book. I'll have to try and find it because I did enjoy the one I read.
We visited my sister at their campsite while we were in Edmonton. There's a total fire ban over most of Alberta at this time. Bummer! It's no fun camping if you can't have a campfire. We got quite a shock while there -- we were sitting around under the trailer's awning, chatting, minding our own business (their campsite is just across the road from the boat-launch) when up out of the water walks this young fellow (between the ages of 17 - 22, I'd say). Anyhow, he's stark naked! Walking around like he was in his own back yard! He bent down and rinsed something he had in his hands, stood up to wring it out. He did this several times. While he's doing this my sister got her camera and took a picture of him. Finally he put on what turned out to be his shorts that he was rinsing out and calmly walked away. I couldn't believe my eyes! Unfortunately the picture wasn't clear enough to identify him so they couldn't take it to the police & have him charged. Luckily we were all adults, but there were campers all around that had children in them. Can't you just imagine what some of those kids were asking their parents???
Amanda, ring dance? Would that be like school rings or something? I didn't think Aurora was old enough for any other kind of ring just yet. At any rate, I really like her dress!
Of course the 5 1/2 years counts -- you were together, weren't you? {:-) I had only known Hardy a few months before we were engaged, and a few months more before we were married.
Oh. My. Gosh! Robbery, kidnapping, and then all the stuff on the news! It's hardly safe to set foot outside anymore, and sometimes not even that. . .
Margie, you were brave to go through caves! I have very poor night vision, plus I don't do good in small enclosed spaces with no windows,
I finally finished reading the books in my eReader. I have a Sony, and am having a terrible time with it. I can't transfer the books in my computer to my reader. I did it once, but can't remember how I did it. Guess I'll just have to sit at my computer to read these books. {:-(
Congratulate your parents on 50 years from me. {:-) Somehow 47 still seems so far from 50.
Well I hope all this stuff made sense. Now I need to go out and start pulling our pond apart. We're re-doing the waterfall this year, it's just not the way we wanted it. Hardy went into town to cut grass for his brother and I told him I'd start on it while he was gone. He'll be home soon, so I'd better at least be out there when he gets home. . .
