Thanks Ronda, Another one of my embarassing spelling bloopers. :redface:I guess if I wanna be a frog, I better learn to talk like one hu?

oh, as long as Im in this thread, gotta tell you, I talked a friend into comming to the shelter instead of going to a breeder. Well, she adopted the most adorable pup! A Westie husky mix that looks 100% Westie. It is so precious and it has one blue eye and one brown. as soon as I get a picture I will post it. Very rewarding day indeedy! ;D

I had new carpet installed in the bedrooms.

I hired Amy Newsom to stain my driveway, sidewalk, patio, lanai, and garage! Her prices are unbelieveable and she has an outstanding reputation for quality work.

If anyone wants information about Amy, pm me.

Oh, I was such a slug today..... ;D ;D

I went to the pool for a couple of hours and then read...or I should say finished a book this afternoon.

Just returned from D'Lites. You have to try their irish cream, dark chocolate swirl,and(drum roll please) ....... it is only 40 calories....to die for.

On a dull, rainy day, sat in my comfy lounger with laptop on lap and read TOTV threads. So enjoyable, especially when we're in MA for the summer. TOTV keeps us close to home, namely TV.....b

Went with vetman to try and buy a HDTV for the living room. This is always a drama and a huge negotiation process. The one I really wanted, he wouldn't buy. Well, we finally agreed on one and wouldn't you know it -- they were out of stock! What am I doing good for myself, you ask? I am not putting a pillow over his darling little head as he sleeps. ;D

We returned from a 7 day visit to relatives and old neighbors in New York (our first since we moved here). So glad to be back HOME!!!!

Vetman didn't rat-a-tat-tat on the drums to wake you up?

I retired from my job of 28+ years yesterday. Had a great retirement luncheon. I won't miss the job but will miss the nice people. And, we sold our house up north (by ourselves, without a broker), so by mid August I will officially be homeless and unemployed, LOL! Actually we do have a home in The Villages, which we will use as a homebase as we start doing more traveling.

Where do you play Texas HoldemChels? My husband played in a private game for awhile, then tried the weekly tournament at Paradise? center. Then late this spring we got into the Euchre games twice a week, so we've been hooked on that. Everyone puts in a couple of bucks, and you have a chance at some small winnings. Nice bunch of people too. We miss it since we've been up north, but will be going back this October when we're back down.

Brightspot,

From top to bottom? In one day? Now, that is impressive. I guess they don't call you Brightspot for nuthin'.

But I was just wondering, if maybe, when you are on your way, to and fro, up and down 75, could you maybe stop by my house?

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 
Now now Boomer

I have an itty bitty teeny weenie patio villa. A long shot from my larger permanent home up North which I hire to have cleaned! LOL

And, for the record, I haven't cleaned a house from top to bottom for a few years...just isn't my thing. But, after being here for a month, I had no dang choice!

So out came the Sno Bol, Windex, Comet, Pine Sol, mops, brooms, buckets, sponges, and...ummmm....I forget what else. And...I reorganized closets, too!

I did a good job and it smells oh so sweet plus all the cupboards are nice and neat, too.

Sniff sniff... ;D

Took a long ride on my motorcycle---now I wish someone would clean all that chrome for me b/c even though I ride, I still have a tiara under my helmut. :)

Yesterday was a wonderful day here at 7 Acre Farm (that's in North Carolina). We finished the fencing on the chicken coop, harvested basil and made pesto, then everyone took a rest or :read: for the afternoon.

I love being a farmer for a week or two each summer. I get all the benefits without the hard work...nice work if you can get it!!!!! ;D ;D

I am on vacation with my daughter, son-in-law, and two grandkids. We are having a wonderful time. Flew to Vegas, stayed 3 days, drove to the Grand Canyon (which is more than Grand), going back to Vegas for 2 days and then flying home.

This weekend I took a short vacation away from a vacation. Had great flights and saw friends and family. Tonight went to Mama Mia(great) and some dancing on the square. I have seen Mama Mia twice on Broadway in NY and the movie is very true to the story. ( super settings in Greece.)

Painted the chicken coop.
Tra la la la.
Life is a bed of roses. ;D ;D
