Pasty - I do like your paintings. Love the color and texture you chose for the first one and the second one draws me right in. Nicely done.
Lin - thank you. You are right about how your taste buds adapt. It takes awhile for sure and somethings never become tasty but most do. LOL
Bob - thank you for your kind words. Macros of flowers are always fun for me. I'll have to look for that movie.
Jackie - nice to see you pop in
Anne - you have the eye and observation of an artist. Your comments to Patsy show that.
Shirley, Marie, Sandy, Barbie, Buzz, and everyone else whose names escape me at this moment. Have a wonderful day.
We leave for the airport at 6:00 am tomorrow morning and arrive in Hawaii at 11:30 am their time, 4:30 pm, ours. A long day but then the fun begins. I can hardly wait. I will probably be able to check in the first 7 days but after that we are on the cruise and I won't be buying an Internet package there.
Cheers
Jeri

JACKIE, my goodness you are right on! PATSYS painting - WALNUT WHIPS, and would you believe son Michael bought me one over Easter! He found them in a local store near him! Something...Barns I believe! I was thinking - if you and George get jobs as extras, we will know it's you because of George! Carry on being friendly, you never know!

Hi Marie!
Buzz
I have been having the same problem with my page. I posted a picture and my head was
huge, not pretty.
I went on another page and it was normal. I can't figure out why this is either.
Other people are having problems I just wish they would fix it.
Jeri Have a wonderful time on your trip. ENJOY! I hope all your health issues have been
dealt with so you can enjoy fully.
Patsy Love the painting, very unusual. I have a friend who is involved in art and gallleries
I wonder what her opinion would be. I am not an expert by any means. Like the use of
colors.
Bob - Keep us informed of your heart testing. I hope all goes well.
Barbie - Are just changing to vegetarian or have been for quite some time? My daughter is
vegetarian now she is a pesscatarian (sp) she eats fish now. She almost became Vegan,
but too hard when she travels.
Lin - You are one busy bee, and good luck with selling the china and packing it. 
Today was shopping at a Canadian Tire store I have never been to. It was very large
and had everything. Then went for a nice walk, the weather has been in the 60's.
After that a full massage, still my Christmas gift, and now feeling extremely relaxed.
Good evening friends,
Shirley0 -
Jeri - bon voyage!

Shirley as soon as that page is full it will return to normal till someone post another photo.

Now for a laugh---I spent hours wrapping and wrapping each piece of china, boxed them taped them, labelled them, put on the fragile stickers and took them to be shipped. They told me one large box would be much less expensive SOOOOOO we ripped all of my boxes apart and they built a custom sized box for the items. Yipes!!
Onward to the second pattern that I'm selling. They suggest that I just bubble wrap each item, take a tote with the items to the store, fill out the paperwork and they'll determine the box size and finish the packing. She said they guarantee nothing will be broken (although I don't know how they know that). So more bubble wrap in my future but this should cut down the time involved by a couple of hours at least!
I also sent a picture of the crystal goblets to the company and their research department will let me know in a week or so if they can identify it.
I've been trying to look up Wallace sterling silver to determine the pattern of my mom's flatware with no success. Salt and pepper shakers--figured out the manufacturer but they are likely not saleable. Just no demand so I'll polish them and keep them.
Time to wrap it up! Haaaaa. Couldn't resist. I watched a video conference with Dr. Neal Barnard earlier and there's a nutrition conference call coming up.
Wishing everyone a good evening.

Of course 'I can't give up on my dear group, but it's so frustrating trying to read that I merely skim what I can and scroll down.
News of friends in hospital getting depressing, as spouses are now being admitted as well as singles. Stress does strange things to people! Quite tired after busy day... 0 -
Quick note....I just bought the new book about Steve Jobs. "Becoming Steve Jobs." The authors were interviewed on Charlie Rose, PBS. Off to a great start.
Also a cute, charming romantic comedy film , a couple of years old I really recommend. "Enough Said." Stars James Gandofini. It will keep you smiling. We all need more smiles I believe.
Heading to bed at last.

Me again...I will not post any more photos until you all get your internet and MFP troubles resolved. What an annoying situation. I would feel it necessary to yell at someone, but WHO?0

Had some trouble this morning logging into Sneakers. I'll keep off site for awhile.
ANNE0 -
Hi, just had another go, and after logging out, then logging in again, all seems well. Teething problems now MFP's changed hands?
BUZZ, I'm so sorry about all your friends and I can relate only too well. I lost all my immediate family, all my friends save one, and my DIL's also lost their parents and aunts and uncles, all in the space of 3 years. It was devastating. I seemed to spend all my time at funerals. 3 years later now, this horrible time past and life is a new norm. Weird though at times, my old friends went back years, some to school days, and now I am adjusting to life with a younger generation. Not quite sure how I fit in, but, and a BIG but, I AM very happy and contented these days, and in a weird sort of way, I'm discovering perhaps, my true personality. Hang in there. My thoughts are with you.

Happy Friday! Want to jump in the shower while Robby is napping. It is going to be a beautiful day here with temps in the 70's so I want to be ready to walk him. Babe is still sick and miserable, I know how he feels since I had the same thing just a short while ago. But MEN, no offense Bob, are just such whiners. B
I lost a pound and feel good about that, funny how if you watch your calories and do a little exercise how you can lose weight. Of course walking with Robby is fun as well as healthy.
I better get going or he will be up and I still won't be showered.
Have a wonderful day.
Sandy
One Day at a Time0 -
Anne ~Walnut whips were my favourite as a child and my memory is of a much larger swirl of chocolate than is on offer today but then my mouth was smaller!! My paintbrush is also out today but nothing too creative, just a coat of satin on the exposed wood on the stairs. Of course my hair now has splashes of white too!
Barbie ~ Like SHIRLEY I'm interested to know if the vegetarian diet is something new for you or perhaps you've slipped into it a bit at a time. Meat isn't often on my menu these days although when I do buy it's from a butcher who's supplied by local farms that take animal welfare into consideration and therefore produce top quality meat that's not pumped with nasty chemicals. I'm fortunate to be in a position to grow my own veggies and then have a variety to make different sauces to put on pasta or a jacket potato as well as rice. Again, it's everything in moderation for me!
Sandy ~ Congratulations on the pound loss. In my rush to get out to the local supermarket early this morning I forgot to jump on the scales so will check in tomorrow..... not feeling hopeful as my weight fluctuates so much.
Marie ~ I'm missing you on here as the site plays up on your computer and just hope Alice can sort it out when she visits. I'm at a loss to understand what could be going on unless there's a gremlin in the works!
Jeri ~ I'm in the jealous club about you travelling to Hawaii, somewhere I nearly visited many years ago but ended up heading east instead of west.... a long story!!
Buzz ~ A sad time for you with so many friends passing. I'm thinking of you. When does DD visit and have you managed to lose a couple of pounds to avoid a slapped wrist!!!
Tea's finished so back to the paintbrush, this time to stretch up to the ceiling but one good thing about these old cottages is it's not too high and I'm tall so shouldn't get a crick in the neck!

I am up after a short night. Not sure what was going on with me. My eyes would not shut and the dreams would not come. Oh well, I will start the day and schedule a nap when the energy starts to to fade.
We are to have sun and warm weather this weekend. I plan to do as much gardening as my back and energy will permit. Even our old sweet furry girls are wanting to snooze in the sun and supervise the gardening effort.
Just a thought on the computer problems, do you have a Microsoft patch that needs to be downloaded? When I need to attend to a patch, my computer is totally useless. All manner of problems. But then it isn't just with MFP, it simply will not work at all.
Anne your life philosophy is wonderful. Making new friends but remembering and honoring the old ones. It is something I strive for and can accomplish most of the time. Not always. I get cranky and and depressed occasionally. It is then I start to clean out a closet or wash curtains. Works every time.
Jackie, will you send photos of your newly redecorated rooms? It sounds wonderfully comforting to have ones home repainted and refurbished. I have that on my summer list of tasks. When considering paint colors, my husband always wants everything to stay the same. Change can be scary as we all know!
Time for coffee and toast and there is a request for a dog biscuit.
