Did you ever see something and see pure sunshine added with happy smiles, well sure you did, and so did I. When I saw this picture, that is exactly what I saw. Such a simple picture, taken with a few seconds of time, yet so profound and meaningful. Its yellow is evident, and the smiles are real. Happiness beams thru.
I will surly look back at this picture for years to come, and I will remember the stance, how close we were to each other, the feeling of loving hands on my back, and mine on theirs. Such wonderful young ladies they both are, the closeness is for me, to help me with my insecurities of myself, they stayed close to me for me, and I appreciate it so. As if not for their caring and understanding this picture would not be.
I hope someday I will be able to take many pictures of myself in complete confidence, but for now this will do, as I always say "baby steps" it always seems to work..
Melissa and Jessica, Thank You! ♥♥♥

first....lol
Way to go DeeDee!!!
That's what I get for reading the news first! LMAO
Morning Glories!
Carol that picture is pure sunshine! You all look wonderful and relaxed. You look beautiful!
Hey DeeDee did Tina pay you to jump in there?
Congrats to you, Dee Dee, on jumping in and getting 1st. Btw, love the art work you do for Eunice.
Morning Glories, LynnD. hope you are doing well.
Carol~you are so beautiful, inside and certainly on the outside too. I see the yellow and I'm sure your 'baby step' will become larger and larger. I really like this picture.♥♥
Three beautiful ladies.
Carol dear....when Tina gave me what she had in the way of pictures of you.....to work with for your 500th blog picture....I was surprised at my limited selection of 2.....lol.....I don't care for photos myself...I don't want anyone to ever be 100% sure of who they are firing at...."is that her"...."or is that her"....and since you apparently aren't on any "hit" lists....you should go ahead and enjoy making and possessing photos of the important things in your life......because you really are quite lovely and you photograph very well.....and if their is ever a need for a "special occasion" rendering of you....and I am asked to do it....a little more selection would make it so much more fun and easier to top the last one!! It was great fun doing that to help surprise you!
Lynn D....
Damnedest thing....I am kinda in a hurry this morning so I was just running thru to see the topic and realized no one had commented...and I thought...Dare I?!?
I think Tina will be surprised!!
Once in a life time moment there so I grabbed it.......lol
kind of exhilarating! I may have stirred up the one endorphin I still have left!
LOL at you, Dee Dee, 'I don't want anyone to be 100% sure of who they are firing at.' Gotta love it...
Carol~I hope you stay in the sunshine for many years to come. You are just so precious to, not only me, but to all of us.
I know. I know, is this the pot calling the kettle black? I can't even make that first baby step. lol
Dee Dee, how are things in Aggie Town? It's gorgeous down this way.
YES, Tina really will be surprised.
I'll be back late....have a lot of stuff to do today.
thanks Ronnie......I gave Susan Boyle a little makeover...whaddya think?
I have to keep an eye on T...Eunice...I looked up on the day of the 500th Blog she was over here in curlers and her housecoat! OMG!
Its a job keeping her properly dressed...but I enjoy doing it!
Dee Dee~
You are such a good stylist, you might have to change your name to Rachel Zoe. LOL AND yes, Tina is a real hoot.
Happy Friday Carol, DeeDee, LynnD, Ronnie, Tina (you'll be here soon) and everyone still snoring away!
Carol, if my pics turned out the way yours did, I'd take more of them.
For everyone about to start work, I am done and "home" for the weekend! Neener neener!
Love Susan's new look. God knows she needed help. Heard she has a mouth on her too. Well, so what, don't we all? lol
Bonacci...neener, neener bk atcha.
Have a great weekend...
I'm really going this time.
bbl
Morning Ronniegirl so great to see you up and blogging this morning!
DeeDee I think it is a hoot you jumped in at first! (pun intended)
Hi Bonacci! I hope you get some much needed rest.
Can I just say the fact that Susan Boyle has a potty mouth makes me love her even more!
I was so happy to see Scrishy posted yesterday. I am sending you (((Hugs)))!
PS I have sent the necklace on Jodi should have it I would think at the latest today.
Good Morning Hooters!
DeeDee- Congrats on 1st! Susan never looked better.
Lovely picture Carol. You photograph really well. I don't know many people who like their own photos, I never do.
Hope everyone has a great day and a very nice weekend.
LOL@bonacci's neener neener!
Lynn D- that is perfect- because Jodi and I are getting together next weekend and we can exchange it then!
25 for MEK!!
Good morning!
Hey Dee Dee, congrats on 1st!
I absolutely LOVE the makeover! Such glam, I'm sure the lady from the little Scottish town loves it.
Lynn I would love to hear Susan cut loose with the 4 letter words, mostly because of the accent! haha
Carol, you are lovely inside and out, and you have come a long way. Remember the pic yu had so long of just your eyes?
Are the 2 gals in the picture with you your nephews girlfriends?
Hi to Ronnie and Bonacci!
Hope everyone has a great day, I will try to check in from work!
Good morning Godie, where are you off to this weekend??
Just a quick fly-by with a thought.
With Susan's potty mouth she would make a great Night Owl. I bet she probably likes porn and would enjoy our parties too...ijs
(Dee Dee could even keep her eyebrows under control for her) Ha!
I just couldn't resist.
bbl
Good Morning OWLETTES!!!!!
DeeDee...Congrats on 1st!!!!
Morning to LynnD....Ronnie...Bonacci... Glodie...EBJ...
Carol.. I love your picture... and I usually hate my pictures... It was a couple of years ago that I went to put pictures on My Space and couldn't find any of me... taht is when I finally said.. this is ridiculous.. so now ... I let my picture be taken... I am always the one with the camera.. until MEK comes to visit.... so now I am in a bunch of pictures... Do I Like them??... Well that is a whole other question for a whole other Day..
Hope everyone has a great day.. I am off and plan to do a little laundry and not much else...
was awakened by the phone this morning... my day to sleep in...
HOW RUDE!!!!
happy Friday!!
Good Morning....
what better way to start the day, but with a pic of our cpgem!! thanks for sharing.....
DeeDee - congrats on FIRST!! you got it by a landslide!!
:-)
Lynn - LOL at reading the news first!!
Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie - waving a big howdy!!!
Bonacci - glad you are "home" - enjoy your weekend.
Goldie - thanks for the march this a.m. - I'm sure there will be a couple of tall beers involved in the necklace exchange!!
:-)
EBJ - have fun 'babysitting' this weekend - I'm sure you can't wait to get your kitty home for good!!
Ronnie - I guess I need to go find the video of Susan Boyle - how did I miss her having a potty mouth!??
waving hello to all who land..
I'm off to craft with a friend.. had nothing on the calendar for the day - she called and I couldn't think of a better way to spend the day!!
I hope everyone has an excellent day!!
:-)
IBB - you landed while I was typing..
Thank goodness it wasn't ME that called - LOL....
and - YES, everyone DUCKS and DODGES when i'm around - I ALWAYS have my camera with me!!!
gotta love it, though!!!!
:-)
and - I'm never in any pics around here - my mom and my husband just can not take a picture to save their souls!!!
:-)
okay - i've got to go find a project to work on......
OH - and I am REALLY going to miss Jay Leno on the Tonight Show......
Just /Lin... from area 51... we are so much alike... I used to have to set the alarm across the room so I would actually have to get out of bed to turn it off...
I stooped sttine it to the radio to be the alarm... in the early 80's the Grease Man was here in DC... and his skits were a little scary to wake up to... the morning a awoke to him SCREAMING "I'm cuming, I'm Cuming" I never set it to the radio again!!!!!
My roomates were a Biker friend and his girlfriend... so anything was possible in that house...
Morning MEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I almost burnt my scrapple... that wouldn't be good...
IBB I read your post twice! Was he coming or cumming? Either way it would be scary as hell to wake up to!
EBJ- My brothers oldest is graduating high school. His party is tomorrow. It is in my hometown, about an hour from here. We are going down today and staying at a hotel until Sunday.
Mr. Goldies sister and hubby are coming up(from Illinois) for the party (we are a close extended family)and they are staying at the same hotel- so we are going to hang with them and go help bro and sister- in -law get ready for party.
Will be visiting some old haunts- I'll let you know if I climb on top of a bar after doing Jagermeister shots!!!!!
But - I draw the line at dancing on the "whore box". I'm way to old and creaky to do that again! LOL
DeeDee Congrats on #1. I love what you did for Susan Boyle. I didn't recognize her at all. At first, I thought it was some Asian lady that you glammed up. LMAO!
Carol That's a lovely picture of all 3 of you. I don't know what happened to make you so shy about having photos taken. You take great photos and you are making memories for family and friends to cherish. It really is for them so they will have keepsakes.
Hi Everyone..
I see me.. :O)
Delores..
Oh my, make sure Shirley writes down your first 2day!

EBJ...
Yes, they are my nephews girlfriends. My eldest and the middle.. the youngest is single..

:-)
such a sweet pic and post Carol!!:)
Have you cut your hair? lol
You look fabulous and so do Jessica and Melissa!
I have to learn to stop being so self-concious(sp?lol) in pics as it's the memory that matters! I also have to remind myself to get in pics with my family otherwise there'd be no proof I was there! haha
So, I can totally relate to the insecurity thing..You are gorgeous! No need to feel insecure:)
Congrats on 1st DeeDee...you've been training with Tina huh?lol
Well, at a hotspot because home internet has been wonky for 2 days! Talk to y'all soon!
p.s. Since I couldn't access internet for 2 days, I had a moviefest at night..I finally watched Mamma Mia and a movie called "Drowning Mona" with Bette Midler!! I LOVED Mamma Mia!! HIGHLY recommend it if y'all haven't seen it, especially if you're a huge ABBA fan as I am lol
OHH and the best of all..Finally saw Wedding Crashers! OMG it was hysterical lol
Rent a movie this weekend....
MEK: Writing this comment while on the toilet..
Seriously!
Evening all! Its is hotter than a $2.00 whore house special here today! 86 in the freaking shade??? WTF? This is the NW for gosh sakes!
Jodi glad the package made it! LOL I take forever to mail stuff since I don't do Ebay any more. I knew I had better get that necklace out to you or I would be a dead owl! LOL
I had to go to the UPS store to have some paper work faxed for the food bank today. I have to say it was highway robbery!!! $2.72 cents to fax a cover page and a one page order! The damn guy at the counter didn't even have the grace to wear a mask and say stickem up!
Have to find a used fax, my mission this week! The gal that usually does our food orders is on vacation and her fax is locked up tight in her house, the nerve I tell you!
Oh for god sake whabby the visual I have right now!!!! I hope your webcam is off!
Whabby - all i have to say is that I hope everything game out okay!!
:-)
and....... one more thing..
eeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww........

Oh my, this place is literally full of "shit"..
Whabby..
It is ok, Mo always blogs from her
toilet..
:O)
Joey..
Tina usually gets 69 first!
And TY, glad you got to watch some movies.. I saw Mamma Mia on Bway in NY, it was fantastic.. but my fav was Jersey Boys..
I will be gone all day tomorrow, heading down to the Jersey Shore with the fam, most are there all ready. But we (sso is coming) decided to go just for the day. Sunday the Msgr at my Church is saying his last mass as he is turning 80 and its a requirement that he retried, he does not want to, but the rules are the rules.. Some parish peeps tried to get involved so he could stay another yr, but the Bishop said no.. So that is another reason why we are just spending the day, i want to go to his last mass. I will miss him..
Oh and the funny part, I am just going for the day.. and I had to make a list of what to take.. Geez..
Oh, and I forgot.. I have to feed Ar's cat in the A.M. before I go, thats on the list too..
Joey..
yes, my hair is shorter.. much more manageable.. I will I could shave it all off, it would be so much cheaper..
Should be I wish instead of I will...
:O)
Cause I don't think I ever will shave it off..
Al MEKAL ALERT!!!
Dianne in Denver - What the heck - the Rockies fired Hurdle tonight!!
wow..........
end of Al MEKAL alert....

Is the coast clear? Sure seems to be a lot of shitting going on in here and Bear is the only one on the toilet!
Just Lin - we better not light a match!!!
:-)
MEK: fired the baseballl coach, lost the basketball game--is it almost football time yet?
Here is a good thing--I went to lunch with three friends to Olive Garden and no drinks were spilled. we did have to pay for our lunches today
Tina..
Are you here or there????
Dianne_dry_in_Denver..
So glad you are dry as a bone, that must have been nice going out to eat and not getting soda in your lap..
:O)
Dianne has a dry crotch today. Is that supposed to be a good thing? LOL
Rats! I have to go to work. :(
J/L..
LMAO..
:O)
Work?
I am off to bed..
Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow..
See ya all tomorrow nite..
:O)
Shirley...
Water Soakers, Water balloons and such are all allowed tomorrow, just no porn, cause that I will miss..
;O)
lol carol~ I'm here....I was over there~ Had to put DeeDee to bed~ ...old, ya know~ :)~
J/L~ work, huh? Hope it's not raining.....you'll get ur fishnets wet~ ijs~
Joey~ It's movie nite here too~ We watched Mall Cop and now Yes Man~ I saw Mama Mia on broadway and also the movie....loved it~
Tina No fishnets involved, but maybe they'd hide the veins in my legs. I had to run monthly billing statements for the veterinary clinic and I can't do that until after they're closed for the evening.
Well, I gotta stop right here in the middle of reading the comments. Why Whab, am I not surprised that you blog and crap at the same time?
What a beautiful morning! All nice and rested. I am in Italy, not CA. We left early because we were all basically dead. I took Zia shopping for "supplies". These people are very proud of their food.
Susan Boyle has made it to the States I see? She's everywhere over here. Poor woman's getting more than she bargained for, I think.
I going to get my day started. I've decided to only have fun this weekend.
Hi Bonacci! Fun is good but no more bike riding!
those of you on the West Coast -
don't miss Jay leno tonight...
I'm sure going to miss him ...
(I know, I know - he'll be back in the fall - but it just will NOT be the same!!)
I hope everyone has an excellent Saturday.......
i'm off to bed....
Sweet Dreams! Watching Leno now.
That is one BEAUTIFUL picture! Nice Carol, very nice. :)
