Countrygal, Kirk, Debby, and Karen, Thank you for more well and fun birthday wishes! Oh yeah, it's been a great week! I was telling a co-worker that I should just tell people that I turned 55 so they can say, wow, I hope I look that good at 55, instead of Oh my! I hope I don't look that old at 29!!! :-) Nope, haven't had any birthday cake, but I had a good bit of cheesecake the other night! I'm not a big cake person. I remember when I was a teen that me and my siblings got on a kick of chocolate cream pies--the frozen kind. We would request those for our Birthdays. It was a good cross between cake and ice cream and only having the dish it out once instead of twice! :-) YIKES, A BEAR!!!! Ok Kirk, now I have a vision of a bear coming in our tent when we camp on our land now....thanks! I get a little freaked out about that possibility and cougars too. The bobcats are mild and small and snakes we can avoid to the most part.... So Todd has something planned. (He's being sneaky, but a couple friends have blown his cover. My brother Rick sent me a cool email yesterday morning that brought me to tears. When he gets wordy it really means something! :-)He's such a GREAT BIG Brother! Also, my Mom brought me to tears. She gave me my GG's (Great Grandmothers) pocket watch on a necklace chain. It's about 100 years old give or take. GG was presented with it when she graduated as a nurse. (I also have a watch that was hers given at the same time). I think I had remembered seeing this particular watch once. As soon as I opened the box I knew it was an heirloom. My Mom had given it to me because she knew I'd appreciate and take care of it. (She had thought about giving it to my sister who graduated as a LVN about 1.5 years ago)....So. I cried of course....becaseu she gave it to me. :-) Well, tomorrow is an easy day to say. All I have to do is wade through water that we will be reciving tonight and tomorrow. Saturday morning is breakfast with more friends and evening with family....and who knows else? Thanks for letting me be wordy. If you don't like wordy then stop reading my post! :-) Love, Jules

Thank you everyone! As soon as I get my camera back I'lll share pics of the fun we had! Maggie was the bestest Snow White I've ever seen and Max was, well, Max! LOL! He was so cute as we were handing out candy! I had him sitting on the candy table in his Bumbo! Cathy, BOO! YAY the Saints won just becuse it was my Birthday!!! There were so many people in the house and the kids were so excited and hopped up on candy...I couldn't wait to come home and rest! It's been along time since I've done Trick or Treating!

Thank you EVERYONE, and Happy Birthday Sadie! Yes, ice cream was involved. After getting off, Esther met me, and we headed back for a BIG container of Chocolate Almond, "our flavor". :) We had our own nice spoons, and didn't quit till it was all gone. Esther has a picture on her phone, that I hope she will mail later. All in all, I have never been there that long on my birthday before. LOL Moni

Happy Birthday Gloria! Happy Birthday Sadie! I haven't seen you here in forever girl, stop in and tell us whats going on in your life that you're so busy! Hope you gals have a great day!
