Hi guys! Kathy, I am glad your back. I hope your new program works for you. I took the day off Sunday, we had freezing rain, and I stayed in my pj's all day and took pictures of the birds. I worked out monday, tuesday and this morning, I just haven't been on here to post. We are leaving Saturday morning for Florida and I have so much to do. We will be staying 2 to 3 weeks. I am not sure if I will have access to a computer while I am there. Last year we took ours along and we might again. We stay with my mom, so that is why we can stay so long. I hope you guys keeps things going here and I will join you when I get back. I am taking my tapes along with me, and I plan on taking alot of sunny florida walks. Hope I get a chance to post from down there. See ya guys later, Wanda

Susie, Happy Anniversary, and lots of good thoughts going to Steven and Charles. RR, lots and lots of hugs to you, I've been thinking of you lots. Shaun, enjoy your relaxing weekend and scratch Ricky a couple of extra times behind his ears. Linda, hug that baby. Sorry about the snow, we got a little but it didn't "stick". Good thing, I've been fixing fence. Nancy, don't work too hard, those tourists will work you hard soon enough! Maggie, it does hurt, doesn't it? I got the heating bill a week ago, it's higher than the last one. Sigh. And I keep the heat at 55 when I'm home, 50 when I'm not, still costs me $200+ a month. It sucks. I'm sorry. Neesie, welcome to the Cooking Forum and to TGIF. I think you'll have fun here. Joanne, I was wondering how those driving lessons were going, it sounds like you'll be driving anywhere you want to go pretty darned soon. Good for you! Katie, my employee finished her last day today, she got another job. Now I have to interview, hire and train a new employee which is a pain in the a**. Ah well, it's worth it. At least she never "forgot" to come to work, like yours did!!! This weekend? Let's see, it started today, Elery was here and I took the day off. We went fishing for steelhead this morning, I got a fish but it broke my pole and got away, lure, pole and all. Darn it. Afternoon was a trip to the doc, I've been having some "issues" and today got a biopsy done. Results in 5 days. Right now I feel like cr*p, so I'm just hanging around, drinking a cup of hot tea. Tomorrow too, I think, although I may break down and bake something. Sunday is some more fence repair. Nothing exciting, just normal stuff. Annie

Sol, I like the way you put that...value added! LOL Sharon, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! At least himself treated you to dinner. DH is happy to do that, anything as long as he doesn't have to cook! I can't believe it's been almost a year since we were there. Time flies and life throws us unexpected twists and turns! More travel awaits! Best wishes for many more happy travels and birthdays! Would love to see you! E

Happy birthday dear friend, I almost didn't get here. I hope you had A GREAT DAY! I'm on DH's laptop so no pic today. Things are looking up!!!! yipee
