I didn't sleep a wink last night. I don't know why. Perhaps I was just too hyped up. Then I slept the day away. I'm shutting everything down tonight by 10:30pm and I'll read a paperback book until I feel sleepy tonight.

Determined to stay on track.
Onward.

Happy birthday, Becca!

Janet, thinking about you. Our family is widespread, too, with Corey's dad in Alaska, our son in Montana, daughter soon to be in North Carolina. My brothers and sister are on the other side of Texas, and Corey's are spread from California to Minnesota to Alaska.

Lisa

Happy Birthday Becca!!
Just off a 12 hour shift and dead on my feet. Good night ladies.

Sarah

Hi ladies. I am not coping well at the moment, so excuse my absence. But I do think of you all daily and hope all is well.

Dana I am in love with your Dolly. I wish you lived down the street so I could come and pet her! and of course, visit you! Keep posting those pics, she warms my heart.

Take care and watch the weather! Meg is sultry Omaha

Janet - so sorry to hear about your sister. Prayers going out for her recovery and for your family. Is there any family close to Denver for her? DH/kids?

Dana - what cute pictures of Dolly.. I can see why you fell in love with her. She did look like a little beagle. So glad she's working out and is a cherished member of the family!

Felicia - Mt. Rainier is always spectacular. Glad you were able to get such a good photo of it...often the weather doesn't cooperate. Every time I've flown back east out of Portland or Seattle, the pilots always made sure the passengers got a bird's eye view if possible.

Joyce - that landscaping plan sounds great. There are some really neat shrubs on that list!

Ok ladies.... Mountain Men and Alone...new episodes tonight!

Heather – That London fire reminds me of the 9-11 Twin Towers fires;; other than the London fire was a ‘terrorist attack’ by a builder using cheap-@$$ building materials and NOT putting any sprinkler systems or fire alarms. So sad, that people were dropping young children and babies out windows … and they won’t have any parents because of someone wanting a ‘big’ bottom line. I wonder how that makes them feel – that they have ‘blood on their hands’.

You and I are a lot alike when it comes to friends. I have few very close, intimate friends; some I don’t see often, or often enough. Just found out one has lung cancer which has spread to one lymph gland; but, because of emphysema and COPD they say it would be inoperable because it might cause the lung to collapse and the other lung can’t sustain her. Another hot spot near her aortic blood line, another one that is inoperable because a slip of the knife is instant death. And so much more going on.

Lanette – I am one of those that would prefer to work in an office full of men than women and prefer to have a male boss, too.

Gee, when I find a ‘bra’ that fits, I buy several of them because if I don’t they will either discontinue it or the price will double by the time I go back to get some more. I am very picky about my bras. Thankfully, Victoria Secret has started having larger sizes in the stores. So I bought maybe 5 for what I could have bought 3 at Dillard’s.

They are very soft, too and don’t have a seam right across the nipple. Mine are way to tender to wear one that does.

If I am staying at home, I will wear the same thing several days in a row.

I think a lot of things changed with 9-11 insofar as security.

Oh yeah, out in the country with a lot of trees and tall grasses to protect turkeys and quail and baby deer, she needs her booster. Our previous dog got pop on her snoot by a timber rattler; we called the vet here in Dawson and the call went straight to a ‘human’’ answering service who told me they would call back within a hour. She would have been dead. We called our vet in Albany, and they have pagers. He told me that he’d be at the office by the time we got there. She had to spend a few nights there; but, the booster and the fact that she did not take a direct hit with both fangs saved her. I knew something had happened because I saw her sniffing the tall grass behind our house and then she jumped back. In a matter of a few seconds she was losing her balance and I saw the mark on her snoot and the graze across the nose. As a small dog, she might not have survived if it had taken a direct hit. Cracker is always out in the grass. Usually, she comes home with a lot of stickers.

Katla – It doesn’t protect them totally; but, it does a good job of their recovery. When Shorty got hit we had to drive 30 minutes to get to the vet. I’ve never used the ones here in Dawson. Like with my ‘human’ children, I want to talk to one of them in case of an emergency.

Carol – We have thunderstorms on the way here tonight. Should be a real ‘light show’. I just hope that none of our pins are hit; especially the one that is the biggest one and the one nearest our house. It doesn’t just rain a nice slow steady rain, it is a pouring rain.

Joyce – Tux is an outside cat; but, he is the most ‘loving’ cat I have ever had. The ladies at the vet are surprised at how he purrs when they come to get him. Then he puts his arms around their neck, holds on, and just goes limp. He then stretches out to about their knees.

Janet – Sorry about your sister; many prayers for her. I had a friend and she was the middle sister of 5 – both of her older sisters died from brain cancer. She is probably the most ‘hyper’ of all of them.

Becca – Happy Birthday – I think I wished you an early Happy Birthday.

Seems like the hen wants to walk in the water and try to be cool.
Cracker with her head on my Bible while trying to read.
I thought the 'hand' flamingos were cute. I might try to print out these pictures and add them to my 'flamingo collection'.

It is about to storm here, so I am getting off the computer. Don't want it to get fried, even though it would be covered by insurance. Need to unplug it from the wall.

Lenora

OH, and I got a 'pressure cooker' the other day; does anybody have any good ideas on recipes or a cookbook? I guess the next time I go into town I will stop by BAM to check them out.

Lanette, thank you so much. Yes she has her husband, two married kids and six grandkids. We have two other sisters there and lots of nieces and nephews. Her husband has a very large family, most of them are in the Dener area also. I just would like to be able to hold her hand.
