Greetings from WARM up north! today we are expecting a high of 20 - or 68 degrees, don't you just hate metric, yesterday when i was in a&p i got lunch meat and it went like this 5 slices of cdn swiss cheese, 1.50 shaved cooked ham, 3.00 of oven roast turkey breast and 1.00 of 3 other lunch meats! - kid looked at me and i said hey, i'm too old for this metric stuff. anyways i talked to sandra and cheryl (my friend) for about 10 minutes she's doing fine and looks great as always, here me with greasy hair in a pony. i actually have started a new quilt, guess i'm out of my funk but i'm so tired all the time. and i'm glad this is our long weekend and since dd is trilled about this new computer i don't think she'll be wanting to go out anywhere. i have a ton of veg. seeds and flower seeds and since this is the weekend to plant i don't really know if i should because of the cold weather funny how things work out -- may long weekend - plant seeds, and you can't wear white shoes or purses before then, who made that rule i wonder. love the new computer, the screen is huge - 17 inch, dd is going to show me how to use msn or whatever, so maybe we can chat live, i'll let you know if i'm a good student. (oh, radio just said it was 11 out - 52 degrees). baby Matthew will be 22 on Monday - can't believe it, where did the time go? if i could have done anything different raising him, i don't think i'd change anything, well maybe, i just wish he'd learn to drive! i will admit I THINK WE have great kids, oh well i won't get sappy now. al has had 2 pains in his shoulder and has had 3 sprays of nitro already today, i'm hoping it's the weather, but last night he had trouble getting up from a laying position and we had to help him get up, so i think i better stay close to him today. dd is skipping last period of school this afternoon - i know because i'm picking her up, she says the classes are getting smaller and smaller each day, i guess the kids know they won't be passing so why bother going, one class only had 5 in it yesterday. well it's time to give insulin, if you're going out there and it's your long weekend too, please, please drive carefully! debbie

Great, just great. It's about 55 here in Baltimore and pouring rain, and it's been getting colder all day! I think it's a Canadian cold front! It's one of those cold, damp days that eats right through you. Enjoy.

HAHAHA!! Sorry Momj47! It's 72F here, so you can't blame Deb or I for your cold, drizzly weather, right Deb? ;-D
My DH mowed the lawn again today, and I swear, if I could bottle that smell, I could make a fortune selling it! Or I could just take a few snorts in the winter to remember that one day it'll be summer again!!!

Have a great long-weekend, all!!
Linda

Please, please - momj - we're sorry, but hey, feel sorry for me - snow in may, please - lol. it was a great day - i put shorts on - boy are my legs white and if i would have known it was going to be that nice out i would have taken my lady bic out! ds left work at 1:30 today, he put in too many hours at work for the week so he was able to leaave early, dd called me from school and asked if she could come home early, please call the school and sign me out at 1"15 - only 3 people showed up for english, so we all spent the afternoon outside with Al - yes he was out on the ramp for 1 1/2 hours! i was able to get some lavender, sage, and thyme perennial plants marked down at a&p for 49 cents each, they were quite healthy looking and with a good drink they look alot better. dd and i went out after supper to look for a sewing machine bulb -- went to 7 stores and couldn't find one, what a town! i'll try the mall tomorrow morning, even though ds has the long weekend off. linda do you have a fanny's fabrics in your city, ours has the store closing, chain is going bankrupt, not my fav. store but i may go into there tomorrow as well. our last splurge was a 3 in one printer, i declined the one where we got the computer from and bought one at wal-mart and saved 75.00 for the same thing! it does pay to shop around! well it i have another row to sew on this quilt before i go to bed, so if you have nice weather tomorrow enjoy it as much as you can. debbie
