Hey y'all,

Yep, I'm still alive and kicking! Had a really good visit with MIL, DSisIL and her DH. We were running pretty hard for the week and I barely had time to check emails. These next 2 weeks my Mom is here for a visit, so I may still be a bit sporadic.

Hope all are well (or on the mend)...will post more later if I get a chance!

Good morning Cactus and everyone else that's magnificent.

Nice weekend here. Spent the day yesterday doing garage sales and gardening. Cleaned out the front flowerbed of this years bulb growth to make elbow room for the later plants. They look happier this morning for it too. Also put more stuff in the ground yesterday. I'd been to a friend's house and she sent me home with plants!!

Worked out at Curves 3 days this week now that my schedule is back to normal. The lead cook is back. Yesterday they did the doubles (twice on each piece of equipment at a time insead of once) and my body is saying OUCH!!

Good for me tho.

I think the countdown till I get out of the 'salt mines' is 38 work days!!

June 18th is the last day. So, root me on!!!
I CAN do it!!!!

Good to hear from the both of you Ginny and Jackie.

Ginny you will have 3 weeks worth of company there. WOW.
Having just you mom though will probably be like not having company. When my sister comes for a visit I don't count her as company like the others. We just fit together quite well.
I'm looking forward to her visit.

Jackie glad to hear that the countdown is on. Gee the kids around here get out of school in May, toward the end of the month. Your job should be easier now with the lead cook back. Hope you got some extra $$ for doing her job.

for the end of the school year.

Linda thanks for the hummingbird link. I have just that feeder that he recommends. I just put out one feeder though and it is plenty to keep the nectar fresh in that one. They don't seem to be shy though and come up to the flowers eagerly.
Enjoy that dinner today with the moms. I'll get around to the spagetti sauce recipe sooner or later.

Well Susun how does that connect the Dali Lama and your prime minister deciding about the human rights in China-Tibet. I don't see the connection. Am I missing something there.
That picture idea of the pregnant couple will be a wonderful remembrance for Ella.

I got a new toy to play with today, a Bias Tape maker. I make my own bias tape and this tool should make my job easier and faster. But wait, I am retired, I have lots of free time, so my kids think. Don't they know I am busy.

MADE IT TO GOAL WEIGHT THIS AM.

I have been hovering at 121 and 122 for a month or so. Have not seen that 125 again. Thank goodness. That sure made me nervous.

Hi to the rest of the bunch.

On my way to church but saw where Loretta made goal. That is always good for a

CONGRATULATIONS LORETTA!!!!

Hi to everyone else. In laws have left but off to a late church service so will be back later...

Loretta !! Yea !!!

Back to goal!

Count down in the Salt Mines -- let's see----------- 18 days for me! Mtg. tomorrow ( which I consider fun) and two days of personal leave for a trip, that leaves 18 working days and I'm outa here. I'm heading for MN & WI to visit with mom and family right after work is out for the summer.

I think I have all of the Perky-Pet products here , at least in Hummers' feeders. I start with one small one and by July am up to "many" on just the front porch. I must have the right plants/bushes/river/ to attract them.

Julie, you seem to be REAL busy - take a breath now and then! Have fun at lunch tomorrow.

When I'm off work, others seem to think I won't have anything to do!! It's just like being retired. Of course, if I had a bias tape
maker........................ I'd be able to sew more!!

When I retire, I'm going to finish all of the projects I have started!!

Did the "boat" leave yet Zip? Would love to see a picture -- that is exciting to me. Hey, I was born in a small midwestern town and would be happy to go to the airport and watch the planes take off.

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend............ Waving to all, Jacki, Linda, Julie, Shawnee, Ginny, Pam, Loretta, Roger, Susan, and anyone reading posts tonight!
