Hello ladies,,,
well, I went back a couple of pages to try catch up this morning,,,and copied all the comments that I wanted to answer,,,then had to go out and now there's about another 5 more...
so perhaps I'll start backwards,,,with Sandy's last post...
oh dear,,,the inner tube look....ok Brenda and Sandy,,,,who's been peekin'.....but I'm sure glad thermal underwear is good for something,,,
of course I don't have the cotton kind,,,but this new stuff that's supposed to let your body breathe so you don't sweat....or 'dew' (pardon me)
and it's black,,,so I really got the 'inner tube look',,,,colour and all...
BTW Sandy,,,,how's George's foot/ankle doing now???? sure hope he didn't have any complications,,,,nor too much complaining...give him a special hug...
and about that 4 letter word there,,,called a 'diet',,,,,forget about it,,,just get some good fresh air and sunshine,,,and eat lots of salads and you'll be fine.....the word 'diet' is enough to make anyone put on weight,,,just thinking about it....and I mean after all,,,,you are in 'summer',,,not like us here who have to eat 'lots'
just to keep enough fat on to keep warm....
yes Lilly,,,now you have started something...
Thanks for making the special coffee in Deb's honor
so I'll have one of those 'Gypsie specials now, pulheeze'....
I just had an apple turnover,,,and needs something special to wash it down...
yes, Lilly, it is wonderful all the relationships that have developed over the years...I got the biggest charge out of the 'clutter - butt',,,and oddly enough I did the same thing....I'm too embarrassed to say how many bags I sent off to the Goodwill/Thrift stores,,,,I think I got the clothes situation really good and cleaned out.....now I have to tackle the stuff I just haven't 'used' yet....that may be a little harder....I've been investing in some nice rubbermaid totes though,,,and have to admit,,,they look much nicer than 'boxes'.....I'm truly tired of seeing boxes...perhaps I'll have them all gone before spring comes...
lucky the dogs weren't in the runs,,,,lucky I wasn't still living in the trailer that's under the collapsed roof
guess it was time for a 'clean sweep' down there too...
Hi Kim,,,,yes I agree with you about the snow and water....although we have had it abit harder than the norm on the island...we were rather afraid that if we got the coastal rain storms that we would have really flooded....like some of the places I saw on the news....oddly enough,,,it's been a real slow melt,,,not a wash out,,,,but I can tell the water level has gone up by the height of my little lake....
Pet,,,,I've kept Gypsie on the front burner all day,,,since I first read she was in the hospital.....as soon as my mind is off whatever mini crisis I'm currently experiencing,,,,Gypsie pops up,,,front and centre....she has had one rough year.....so I'll keep sending love and light to her...I rang her up also and left a msg too Lilly...
now there's everyone talking about shark attacks again and it reminds me of the picture Debs sent in once on this thread with this huge shark right behind two people in the water....(it took me forever to believe it was real - I still have me doubts....)
and thank you Debs and everyone for the condolences you all gave me when my friend passed away.....I was just so 'stunned',,,but let me tell you we sure had some fun when we were young....
the night of her 'viewing' I did a meditation and had a rather wonderful experience with her.....we flew across the country together and sat on my deck (the weather was nice too!!) and after that experience I felt all right again....it was like I was given the chance to say good bye - till we meet again sort of thing.........thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Heather, I think that's so great that you're fiddlin',,,,got any good foot stompers goin yet....eeeehaaaw!!!! nothing like a good friday night with the fiddles goin....I kind of miss it.....sheeesh,,,,seems like that was a couple of lifetimes ago for sure....all the old Cape Breton songs,,,,yep,,,for once I can really mean it when I say,,,,those were the good old days...
with my friends passing, I got to talk to friends I haven't seen in 25 yrs., another good thing that came out of sorrow...
Sher
I decided if this is where we're supposed to be, God will provide the down payment. That's how we'll know. OOHHH but OMG, I hope it is, it would be soooo exciting. Patience is not a virtue of mine.
I sure hope you got what you asked for,,,,please let us know...
and last but not least,,,,(but I went backwards remember??)
so you were first really,,,,Aqua Debs,,,
so good to read your posts,,,and see how you're doing....I finally got to check out your ATC....pretty cool there lady...I'm glad you're getting the push to get some more painted scarves done....as soon as you get on it again,,,they'll just start appearing,,,almost magically....the ideas will flow fast and free....too bad you couldn't just take a picture of those ideas for future reference hey!!!
Glad you liked the scribd site....it's pretty incredible,,,I wish they had a 'list' that you could peruse the book titles,,,,as it is once you get on there,,,you can be there for hours...
I love your hair colour and the henna colour,,,,one way (if it's possible) while you're growing it out,,,is to sort of streak it either dark brown on the henna part (and that might be the easiest to do) or henna streaks into the root area....
once upon a time....when streaking dark hair with light highlights was the thing to do,,,,I went the other way,,,,(since I was going gray),,,I just streaked my hair with the darker colour....but I haven't done that for a year either,,,,however I have been using my rosemary oil on my hair...
just a bit....after I put some on my arms and neck I just run my hands through my hair,,,and I think it's somehow looking a tad more to it's natural colour.....anyway,,,,it smells nice....my all time favourite herb.
OK there,,,,I think I did it.....if I forgot anyone,,,please let me off the hook....I only have 427 msgs to clear off my mail,,,,and only 94 unread left....
I really took some time off....but I have no excuse now....
take care all you beautiful people,,,friends,,,all sisters (and bro's too)
love and blessings to everyone...
