Betsy, I'm so sorry for your losses. How very sad. You just don't know what's in people's hearts and minds sometimes. I hope you can find comfort in the memories you had with your cousin and friend.

Sorry I missed your BIRTHDAY LISA! Hope you had a LOVELY day! Congrats, VICKI!!! YOU ROCK!!!

Blessings for your boy, Miss Rebecca! <3 Thanks for getting us started again Miss Barbie! WOW APRIL! What did I read this morning? Chapter 4 of 12. I thought that was kinda cool. That means only three (technically 2-months-and-a-week-plus) left of school!!! WTHeck?!? And I'm on SPRING BREAK this week as it is! WOOHOO! Love…

I really HATE what they've done to the site here… CLICK "VIEW POST" to get to April… NOT the link ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

For anyone looking…

Apparently, Tracey, there are a lot of Sylvans out there! Didn't know until Mom got it home and in the lake that the pontoon she bought was a Sylvan model, LOL…

Wildlife is the best! Thanks for the pics Debbie! My Mom had a pair of nesting loons on her lake and there were swans that came in and out every spring and fall. We had geese and the occasional Blue Heron. Every once in a while, we even had a Bald Eagle soaring overhead. It was quite the magnificent place to grow up and…

Tracey, that's so cool. I did just look it up! What fun. Have you ever watched Rose Coleman? I met her last weekend! She's the #1 SU rep in Canada and she is AMAZING! So darling, so funny, so talented.

HOME AGAIN! Had an amazing convention. 3000 stampers all in the same place. Incredible. Got my brand, spankin' new catalog (almost 2 months early!!!) and loads of new, free product! They're so generous! We were a little nervous with all the storms passing through. Was supposed to be the height of the warning yesterday…

I know I don't comment every day. Sorry. I am SO excited today. Headed to Raleigh, NC today for the annual Stampin' Up! annual convention for the next five days. Imagine your favorite hobby. Now take 3000 of your best online friends getting together in one city for five days, doing that hobby. Now make sure you have…

ALLIE!!! What Margaret said!!! Be firm. Take your time to heal. This is a PRECIOUS gift (not just to you, but to them!) It is not your time to take care of them. It is their turn to take care of you! I will repeat it again…It is not your time to take care of them. It is their turn to take care of you! This is not selfish…

Pretty amazing that they cut you wide open on a Saturday and send you home with "anti-rejection" drugs for an entirely new organ on a Tuesday!!! God Bless this "new" medicine! So happy for you, Miss Allie. Lisa, I wish I HAD a craft room. Well technically, I could if I wanted to. I have a room in the back of the house,…

Happy Birthday Miss Debbie! God Bless you Miss Allie! I'm following your FB like a following a scent. Can't wait to hear the GOOD NEWS. ❤️

Sorry I missed your birthday Rita! Hope it was amazing!

Thanks Miss @barbiecat HAPPY MARCH! Looks like a lamb here... doesn't bode well for the rest of the month. YIKES! Happy Birthday Barbara!

YUP! Hit the BIG SIXTY-FIVE yesterday! WOOHOO! THANKS ALL! It was a GREAT DAY! I get to retire "next" year. That was the plan anyway and it looks like it's right on schedule. Love and Blessings Carla, in MN

So sorry Lynn. You know, sometimes I think losing a pet is harder than losing a person. They dig into our hearts so deep. Sending big (((HUGS))) Carla, in MN

I am so terribly sorry for what you're going through Barbie. I can't even imagine, but I have to tell you that I've thought about it and I feel like I would feel the same fog that you're feeling if I lost Freddy. All I can echo is try not to put so much pressure on yourself to, as you say, bounce back. When our Shawny died…

Heading up north for Jeffrey’s funeral today. That’s all. *sigh* Weather is absolutely perfect. Should be a beautiful drive. We had snow yesterday so the ground is a stunning, bright white and the sky is a brilliant blue. It’s like Jeff and God created it just for us. Love and Blessings. Carla in MN

Beautiful quilt and pillow, Rebecca. I can see why you cried. How lovely. I'm sort of a cross between a Butterfly and a Bee which drives my cleaning-Bestie absolutely NUTZ! Poor Tammie. Constantly trying to help me de-clutter, to no use. I'm a "closet" non-closet hoarder. Happy Weekend! Love and Blessings Carla, in MN

Happy Birthday Kylia! Sorry I missed it here. (caught you on FB... hehehe) Lisa, there's something on your sewing table... just sayin' ;-) Love y'all

We're praying for pleasant weather, Lanette! Not doing as much Tai Chi as I'd like. I have to get back to that too. DANG I needed those SMILES this today Miss Allie! Thank you! Yes Tracey, I really wouldn't miss it for the world. Loved him so much. Love and Blessings Carla, in MN

Oh no, Allie! That's terrible. I'm sorry. What a horrible hassle. Good luck to you. Thanks so much Michele, for that perspective. I don't know, maybe. No matter what, we'll be there... Maybe with our jerseys on. Who knows. LOL OMGosh Machka, that menu is a TRIP!!! And I love that they allow it "for people with smaller…

I know Lanette! I feel the same way. In fact, sometimes I'm surprised when I don't see a name that I recognize or at least the parent of someone I knew. smh. We're just all getting to that age. It did Barbara. Very fast. We/they thought they had it under control. Then last week, he got very "wobbly" is what Jeremiah called…

Well... we lost Jeffrey about 830pm last night. So very glad I was able to say goodbye. No details on funeral or anything yet. Not sure if they're going to do anything down here in the cities or have everything up north. They lived right here in the cities for years before moving only a couple years ago, so I would think…

Rita, I'm so sorry about your ex-MIL. No matter how long ago, some people are just special and 102! Wow!

We could use some prayers from anyone who's inclined. We just got word this morning that my youngest cousin, Jeffrey, is in the end stages of cancer too. His doctors are saying weeks or maybe months. I'm really struggling with this. I think the emotions from my Mom are finally coming out, but I'm really, REALLY sad for him…

OOOPS! Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD, YOU Little Vixen, YOU!!! <3 :D

HEY! I was being POLITE, Barbie! HAHAHA! (shame on you, you little vixen) I'm SO sorry for DH, MO. Tell him to bundle up! I have to go back to school today, darnit. At least it's above zero though. A regular heat wave! Love and Blessings Carla, in MN

Well... I'm home from school today because, like the FB memes like to say, "it's FREEZE YOUR FACE OFF COLD OUTSIDE"
