You certainly brighten my day Lucy! Along with your pix of the day, I also try to start my day with a laugh. Here's one from things kids say: POLICE -- While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, 'Are you a cop? Yes,' I answered and continued writing the report. My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?' 'Yes, that's right,' I told her. 'Well, then,' she said as she extended her foot toward me, 'would you please tie my shoe?'

yes, I am in my garden or the greenhouse every day after work. being as I winter sow my perennials I am out there potting something up or seeding something. Maybe I am organizing or cleaning. It is such a great way to physically, mentally relax for me. although, my 10 yr old is starting to resent it a little. so I have to be careful with her.. and to not be too selfish with my time and make sure I am taking time for her also. I think her little hormones are starting to kick in with the snottyness and My mom is the meanest thing on earth. boys are so easy! I already went thru this with my oldest two girls. anyway, I am heading out there in a few minutes, I found seeds in a bubble mailer I forgot to sow. I am potting up plants that have spread too much and am going to try to sell them when I have my garage/craft sale. I can never get enough time out there. I am going to say that God gave me the gift of a green thumb and I am going to use that gift to glorify Him.

Diamonds go with everything ;)... but seriously.... You could go in so many directions for a ring. Check out ebay and read the descriptions carefully and ask questions. Make sure the karat weight is spelled out and the gold is not listed as plate or any other faux word. I got a ring for my 10th anniversary on ebay and it is wonderful. It took me hours of browsing and a few lost auctions, but I ended up with the one I was meant to wear. It is like nothing I have seen before or since. Once you have the ring, then go for the bracelet. You will know when the right one hits. Make sure you use a - before words that you don't want. (i.e. -silver if you don't want silver). My searches got so wordy when narrowing down results. Sadly, there are a lot of people trying to raise cash in this economy so you can do your part and get a real bargain. The way I look at it, my bids helped people get more for their jewelry and for the one I bought, I was the highest bid, so that helped the seller out.

I don't have much hair on my legs anymore either...must be an age thing... But no one ever see's my legs since I wear compression stockings. (from the first thing after my shower till I go to bed at night...) I don't shave them until the hair makes it feel itchy.. And since I've had all those rashes I've been afraid to. So it is itch time..lol patti
