Well, I just got the Visa bill for the theatre tix (we have season tix for the Broadway season here) so it will definitely be awhile before I can get that lens. Yeah, 31 little bodies is a drain on my old body but in some ways it keeps me young. When I taught middle school math my largest class was 36 (I had six classes/day). Hubby retired when his largest class went up to 44 (he taught middle school history). The other night I was teaching a math class to the incoming K parents and one of the dads was a former student of mine from my middle school teaching days. He came in while I was putting away the paintings from earlier in the day and said, "I bet you don't remember me." I looked at him for about three seconds and then said, "Joseph." He almost fell over, saying, "My wife said there was NO way you'd remember me!" Ha! I could tell him a LOT of stuff I remembered but didn't want to embarrass him. tee-hee! His son will be in my class next year. :) Joseph now teaches high school history and has been teaching for five years. Now THAT makes me feel old.

I always use the kind that looks like person with their arms down, then up. As you twist in the screw, the arms go up. You push the arms down and it lifts the cork out. One tip from my son the bartender is to put the tip of the screw into the cork slightly off center. Most people aim for the direct center of the cork, which actually makes the screw go in off to the side, causing problems when you pull. After some googling, I learned that my type of corkscrew is called "winged", although it looks like arms to me. Also the screw thingy is called a worm. Ick. Here is a link that might be useful: types of corkscrews

I give my small batting pieces to my S-I-L as she does embroidery machine work and makes stuffed animals for the kids in our family. If you are not going to use the pieces I would encourage you to donate them to your local library children's activities or donate to Goodwill stores, I would not throw them away. Best to you, Sandra

Kay, our local newspaper has them where on Monday the puzzle is a one star, which means it is super easy. Tuesday is 2 stars and it gets more difficult as the week progresses. The weekend puzzles are 5 star and are supposed to be more difficult. Usually they are, but sometimes they aren't. If you want to try one, it would be better to start with a one or two star til you get the hang of it, then go for the more difficult ones. They are a lot of fun.

Wow, Beth you have a Green Thumb. I wonder when mine will have flower like that. Oh, by the way I got four of the datura baby sprout from the seed you gave me last summer. I would have six but the snail got to them!

wow...it's brug season! I just noticed that tropical sunrise has a bud, too... and, already...the plants are wilting like crazy in the middle of the day. What ever am I going to do? Maybe they'll all have to be dragged over to the shade of the old oak tree...... It's bad...they tease you with a few blooms and you suddenly forget all the frustrations when you were going to chop them to the ground or, worse, grind them to a pulp!!!!

well...don't be jealous! You have to remember that, with all the beauty of tropicals and brugs (at an early date), we still don't get those wonderful SPRING things like daffies, crocus...forsythia...hyacinths...and......LILACS...lily of the valley..... YOU know! There's always a trade off, isn't there? And it sure is a good thing that we don't ALL go for the same trade off. What if I took all of the blizzards and ice storms, eh?? And those cozy indoor 9.5 month long winters???? Why, you'd just hate me! And, think of all the extra nitrogen you in the snow belt get?? Here in Paradise South we have to add ALL the nutrients.....well, except for the sunshine and (most of the time) rain! Okay...so, I DO love where I live...but it took me a LOT of years to get to this point...and a great mentor who has walked with me through the Leaves of Grass. ....to smell the flowers..............
