Its in the movement!


"Hooked on a feeling", sung by Blue Swede

there are times when we all need a smile
or a laugh or perhaps just a wink, as all
of these, seem to lift our spirits and make
us feel that all is going to be ok...

i remember this video clip from a show
i used to watch "Ally McBeal" when I saw
it many years ago, it made me smile, and the
song to go with it, is a favorite of mine..

the dance is just so simple, however its
in the movement that makes me smile, its
the way the body moves to the music, when
the music is there the body will move, and
then the smile will appear!

if you lost your smile, or your laugh has
been forgotten, i hope this video brings a
silly smile to your face as it does mine!

:O)

  3. Carol, thanks for making me smile this morning! I've always loved that song--I remember it by BJ Thomas--not sure if he was the first one to do it. Anyway, thanks and have a great day!

  5. Good morning Hartldo, Lynn and Sandie! Congrats on 1st again Sandie!

    Carol, I remember that from Ally McBeal too(although I never got into it that much lol)

    thanks for the smiles:)

    I also want to say how horrible about what happened to the guy from Rent-a-center! I feel bad for him and for all of the workers involved!:(

    I hope you all have a great Thong Thursday!

    OMG tomorrow is August 1st! Where is this year going?!

  7. btw, hartldo, I LOVE your watermelon carved owl!! too cool!

    ReplyDelete
  8. Good Morning Lynn D, Joey & Lovey!! Joey: That watermelon owl came from Photobucket. I think it's amazing how some very talented people can carve such beautiful things like this.

    I never watched Ally McBeal but I remember this weird dancing baby was all the rage with her show.

    I am also praying for Dianne, but can someone tell me what is going on with her? Seems everyone knows. Maybe it was mentioned here and I missed it. If she doesn't want it discussed here, I completely understand.

  10. Loved that video yesterday Lovey. You really know how to make us smile. :)

    I was just talking to my mom this morning about how this year has flown by. It will be time for the hectic holiday season before we know it! Yikes!

  11. Happy first again Sandy!
    Hi there, Joey,Hartldo,LynnnD,& lovey!

    It is unusual for me to be posting this early, but I have a lot to do today and had to fly in to wish all a wonderful Thong Thursday!

    Carol. the video was a wonderful way to start the day, thanks!

    Joey, I almost flipped my calender to Aug. today lol! Retirement is sooo confusing :+)

  12. Good morning Hooters! Now sandie, breaking your cherry is one thing, but there is a word for those who have an addiction to it...baahaahaa

    Carol you Crackwhore ;)- you made me smile this morning. Never watched Ally McBeal, but I sure remember watching that video a lot of times.

    LOVEY- I sang that sunshine, lollipop song for HOURS last night.... thanks

    After telling my Beta story last night I forgot to include the poor fellows name. It was Norton. There, I feel better now.
    Hope everyone is doing well today-

  13. Hi Goldie!How is the Mrs back today?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Good Morning

    I LOVED that video, it brought a smile to my face, and my son Victor was laughing a big belly laugh, so that was an extra smile. He thought that was so funny, I had to play it 3 times for him. I also loved that song, I had it on a 45 record.

    Congrats Sandie two days in a row, WOOHOO

    Goldie we have two Beta fish also, they belong to my sons Vincent & Victor, Vincents is blue his name is Jack, Victors is red is name is Bob. LOL They have been with us for 8 months so far.
    They are in seperate bowls but its so funny if you put the bowls next to each other, they really get active and their fins all fan out.

    Good thoughts being sent out to Diane and her family.

    Mary/MI, Have a safe trip to Vegas you LUCKY THING!!!!!!

    Have a nice day, I will stop back later.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Good morning Mary/MI, goldie & Renee! Thank you, Carol & Lovey, for the MS messages.

    Renee: We once had a beta fish named Jack too! For some reason, that is what our daughter wanted to name him. Then a stray cat came along (and stayed) and our daughter named her Jill. Get it: Jack & Jill. The beta is long gone but Jill remains. And when Jill came, she was preggers. Had 5 kittens. We still have 2 of them, plus 2 other strays that showed up here. Yes, I have 5 cats total. And I am allergic to cats!!! Shows you how crazy I am!

  16. Goldie: I am an idiot! I hope Mr. Goldie is feeling better today. I hate back stuff!

    Since we have lived in this house we have buried a rabbit, hedgehog and a dog. We don't flush anything as we have a septic system. LOL

    Those were pets. I am not counting the moles or mice or garden snakes. Yuck!

    Mary who lives part time in Vegas. Please when you get there spit on the Ebay machines for me! Will you??? Huh? Huh? LMAO

    ReplyDelete
  17. LynnD~ You ARE kidding? Ebay machines? Good Lord have mercy! LOL! I may not spit, but will "toot" as I go by wha ha ha !!

    ReplyDelete
  18. No I am not kidding! Toot,spit anything to show your disdain and I will be happy! LOL

    Whatever you do don't play them! You will lose your money in fees faster than filling your gas tank! Then they will only let you leave them positive feedback and take more money! LMAO

  19. I thought I would wait until the nest filled up. Now there are so many owls to greet.

    Good Morning Sandie , (First again), Donna, Sandie, Lynn, Joey, Lovey, Mary, Goldie and Renee Eve. How are you all today?

  22. Mornin' Tinka, I am having a great morning! I should be getting my "ars"
    busy though. I have another busy day today. I will be checking in as I fly in and out.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Mary, I am having a slow start this morning. Yesterday at this time I had already been at the computer for two hours. I will never do that again so early in the day.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Gm Mary,Lynn,Goldie,Renee,Tink..and ALL OWLS to fly into the nest.

    Goldie,keep singing baby!!

    I gotta get my butt outta here or I'll be here all day...hehe.

    ReplyDelete
  27. lynn- I almost spit out my coffee. I am seriously laughing here- I am so glad that you didn't flush the dog, hedgehog or rabbit into your septic system! Ewwww.....

    Thanks for the wishes for Mr. G- he is moaning (not in a good way *wink, wink*) laying on ice packs and I'm drugging him up. Could be worse- it could be me...

    I remember the time we were 'babysitting' for Norton and went on a 2 week vacation and I made Mr. Goldie take him with us. LOL...

    Good moring to all!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I can now what happens every morning. There is a certain time that everybody gets busy and leaves the nest. I am arriving at just that time.

    Lovey - You once told me the blog was very addicting and it is. Have fun today.

    I am going to listen to the baby and come back. I can already hear it in my head. I used to watch the baby and then change the channel. I feel the same way Joey. I didn't get much out of the Ally McBeal show, was it called that?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Before I head out I wanted to let Diane in Denver that my thoughts & prayers are with her & her family.
    [[[HUGS}}}

    Hi MEK! Have a nice day all

  30. sorry for the bad writing. My mind is racing with all the things I SHOULD be doing lol!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Sandie
    Enough is enough. You're beginning to be a first ho. (just kidding) I love ya!!
    Anyone who needs a laugh should see me right now behind this monitor. I am trying to whiten my teeth with that gel and little blue light. I have it all crammed into my mouth and it feels like I've got a pacifier sucked to my lips. I have on my gray mud mask. I look like an alien but this stupid stuff really works. My face feels soft and my teeth get the tea stains removed. Of course after this I'm going straigh for my morning tea!. I should use straws!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Top of the morning to the rest of ya:
    Carol, Donna, Tinkatia, ReneeEve, Sandie (again)LynnD, Joey, Mary/Mi & Lovey.

  34. Good Morning MEK! A card clinic sounds fun!

    I'm heading out to take my daughter to play practice and to go look at furniture with my mom.

    BTW, my daughter is in the play "The Secret Garden" and she got the part of Mary.

  35. Good Morning Sunshines!

    Just popping in quickly at the start of a busy day!

    Carol...what a great way to begin the day. Who can't help but smile.. a dancing baby! It cracks me up every time I see it. Thank you, friend, for the morning smile.

    Good thoughts and huge hugs to any Owl who is worried or sad today!

  36. Hi Dreama! Beauty is tough! :)
    Hi Vig!
    I'm off now. I'll be back later!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Good Morning Dreama - You should post a picture on your myspace like Bebbi did.

    Carol - I think your video worked. I am having a good laugh at all the comments this morning. I think everyone is.

    Everyone seems to have a fish story. Here's mine.
    It was in one of my early years of teaching. I had such ideals. I always kept a fish tank in my classroom. It was part of our Unit on Families. We would see the babies leave their sheltered area and go out into the big tank. One day I noticed the tail of the mother fish kept getting smaller. I finally discovered the father was slowly eating his mate a little bit at a time. The mother fish died before I had time to discover this and remove her. It certainly ruined our unit on Family Life that year. It never happened again but I never forgot it.

    ReplyDelete
  38. VIG - Good Morning my dear friend. I ordered sun for you today and I think it's coming out. Call me when you have time.

    Your welcome brought a tear to my eye. My dad always said
    "Good Morning Sunshine" when he first saw me in the morning. It is so many years since I heard that I started to tear up - but it was a good cry. He has been gone 20 years now and I still miss him. My mom only remembers him when he was young. Maybe that is a good way to remember someone.
    Have a good day.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Tink...thank you kindly for sending the sunshine. I am off to Butterfly Gardens with two kids today and it would be nice if we could have our lunches outside. Sorry to make you tear up..but it is sweet to think that your Dad said that to you, as you are truly a ray of sunshine! Have a great day filled with yellow.

    Wishing a yellow day to you all!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Hartldo...hi backatcha! Have a great day!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Dream I gave up on beauty a long time ago. I will take aging gracefully. LOL

    Tinka: Just read your post about the family unit. I think there is a metaphor in there somewhere but I will just mourn for the poor Mother!

    Hi Vig have fun at the butterfly garden that sounds like fun!

    I was just thinking we never had fish. Now I wonder why?

    Ok back to housework.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Hello and good afternoon to all! Flying in for lunch break and hope everyone is having a good day. I have to get back to work soon so not enough time to individualize...but hugs to all!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Bebbi - Good Morning. I forget we are on different time zones. You are having a lunch break and I am just going to have breakfast. I don't know why that hit me today but in the nest I feel we are all there at the same hour. I guess senility is hitting me. Have a good lunch.

    Lynn - Yes I think there is a metaphor there, one that I didn't want to explain to the kids.

    VIG - I love Butterfly Gardens. When I would spend part of each summer in Cincinnati, I would think of Butterfly Gardens every-time I went out the door. The high humidity hits you in the face. I don't know how people survive outside in places with high humidity. Just an hour in Butterfly Gardens and I am soaking wet and exhausted. I guess that's why I lot of people stay inside with their A.C.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I am off for breakfast and to get something done today. My son, DIL and my baby are coming
    Saturday. I don't want any dust in the house when my baby is here. I can't wait to see her again. Have a good day everyone. I will be back this afternoon.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Sandie: We'll be changing your owl to an Eagle at this rate! An eagle with an eye firmly on the nest!

    Good morning, Hart, Lynn D, Joey, Lovey, the early bird Mary/MI, Goldie, Eve, MEK, Dreama, VIG, Audrey, and as always, Carol!

    It felt so good to type all these familiar names! I wish we were all together having a big communal breakfast this morning!

    Personal and confidential to Hartldo: I love you too! ;)

    Well, owls, it's THAT time year again, when huz and I head out for the small Northern California town of Guerneville, just 40 minutes or so away from Donna Jean.

    Yes, it's Lazy Bear Weekend, once again. What's that, you ask? Oh, giggle giggle, nothing special. Just four days of sun, fun, fur, and frolic with 2000 or so fellow bears.

    I promise to be good, and if I can't be good, I'll be careful, and if I can't be careful, I'll name it after Carol!

    Dianne, I'll be thinking about you up there... and check back in the nest after we arrive, assuming the house we've rented has internet access...

    ReplyDelete
  46. Have fun Bear. I will miss you. I love you, you big old teddy bear you. I swear you belong in my teddy bear room. We must all have breakfast together someday somewhere.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Back to work I go. I just have to find another good cleaning couple. I miss my last ones so much.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Happy Thursday Owls.

    Carol, I loved Ally McBeal, but like LynnD, the baby creeped me out. I guess I just didn't 'get' it. The video did bring a smile however. Thanks for that. I hope you Dad is still doing well.

    Sandie, Congrats on #1 again. This could become a habit.

    LynnD, How do you age gracefully? I am certainly aging, but gracefully is not the adjective I'd use.

    Goldie, Hoping for a speedy recovery for Mr. G. In the meantime, drugs are the answer. LOL

    Renee, I hope your Mom is doing OK.

    Bear, Have fun at the lazy bear weekend...I know you will.

    MEK, can't wait to see pics of the new cards.

    Dianne, You and daughter are in my thoughts today.

    Waving a wing at all the other Owls and all who land later.

    I am off to take my other friend Sharon (not the chaperone) shopping. She is recovering from back surgery and can't drive, so I guess I'll have to shop with her. It's a sacrifice, but I'm glad to do it for her. BBL

    ReplyDelete
  49. Whabby have a fun weekend!

    Tinka: I am having quite the time imagining Whabby in your bear room! LOL

    Sacbarb: My formula for aging gracefully.

    1. I accept the fact that everything is heading south.

    2. Use hair dye at least once every two months just for convention sake.

    3. Refuse to buy any wrinkle cream over $20.00 dollars.

    4. Accept teeth maybe yellow sometimes because I refuse to give up coffee. Use fake tanner on my face so the teeth appear whiter.

    5. Gave up contact lenses and just accept that I wear glasses and need to.

    6. Accept all hormanal changes and the weight gain that comes with them.

    7. I am getting to the point that if my feet are clean then I do not need a pedicure.

    8. The wrinkles on my hands are from a lifetime of cleaning and yardwork so get over it!

    9. Lipstick is chapstick with color and I have found chapstick with color so there you go.

    10. I am what I am and will worry about all of the above later.

    Last but not least I do not have to wear a bikini or thong or any other kind of nasty uncomfortable underwear anymore and yet I know I am still sexy. Well sometimes.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Sandie Nice to see you arrive first again today.

    Carol Thanks for the dance today. I have to say, the baby is a little creepy. I enjoyed the quirky tv show, though.

    I'm sorry I haven't been around much for the last few days or so. My brother is still visiting and there are some unrelated family issues going on at the moment. I guess if life went smoothly all the time it would get boring. I'd like to give it a try, though. LOL

    Whabbear Have a good time!

    Dianne_thinking_of_you_in_Denver(((HUGS)))

    DonnaJean I'm glad things are finally moving along for Laurie Elizabeth. (((HUGS))) to you as well.

    I hope all the owls are having a wonderful day today.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Lynn D - You have seen pictures of my Teddy Bear room. Can't you picture Whabbear in there? I can.
    Love your formula for aging.

    Just Lin - I remember those family issues. I don't have them any more now that I am single. Another good reason for staying that way, no second family to deal with.

    I am slowly getting my work done. It's nice having my Mac Book nearby.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Tinka Congrats on 69 even if you are giving it away.

    The first computer my brother had was a laptop so he started out learning how to scroll, etc., with his fingers. Now he also has a pc and he had a hard time controlling his mouse at first. I guess it's a learning curve either way. Practice makes perfect!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Just swooping in to say hi again! I am so bored at work that I am making myself file! Oy

    Tink, I really CAN NOT picture Bear in your teddy bear room. I am not sure that is something that YOU should be imagining either!! LOL

    Lynn, hope you havent' had to bury anything this afternoon..
    I agree with your aging gracefully list. Except I won't spend more then $10 on face cream and I say, if it comes out of me and I dont'get any on you- be grateful.

    Hope all you Hooters are having a good day.

    Dianne- ((BIG HUGS)).

  54. Goldie ROFLMAO! Please don't get any on me, whatever it is!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Good afternoon, owls!

    Thanks for the first comments (especially the funny ones Lynn, Lovey and Goldie!) and hello to Donna (congrats to your daughter), Lynn (loved your list!), Joey, Lovey, Mary (have a good trip!), Goldie, Renee (glad Mom is okay!), Tinka, Dreama (wish I could have seen your beauty routine face!), MEK, Bebbi, VIG, Whabbear, sacbarb and Just_Lin!

    Prayers to you and your family, Dianne.

    We once had two goldfish named Left and Right (don't know why my boys named them that) and when one died we didn't know which was "left!" LOL

    When Left (or Right) died, my daughter, Aubree, was about five. She was upset and so I talked about the fish and how he brought joy to us, etc. and then we said a prayer and flushed him down the toilet. Aubree was very sad and quiet until we flushed. Then she smiled and said, "That was fun! Let's get the other fish and do it again!" LOL!!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Ahhhhh, home again! Mom and I went to 5 furniture stores today and then back to 2 of them a second time. To cut costs, none of these places were very well air conditioned. I swear, I feel like I'm melting! Just like the wicked witch in The Wizard of Oz.

    LOL @ Sandie's fish stories and the fact that they were named Left & Right. Tinka's fish story was sad, but also kind of funny.

    lynn d & goldie: Love the aging gracefully techniques. I KNOW I'm still hot.....They just come in flashes now! I saw that on a t-shirt somewhere.

    Awwwww Whabbear...You're the best! My very favorite bear in the whole wide world. Thanks for being such a good friend.

    Well, my daughter and I are starving. Hubby is out on a call. I think it's going to be pizza night!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  57. 75 I am just waking up. I will be back.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Flying through!

    goldie: Nothing to bury here today. Does sucking up a spider in the vacuum count? LOL

    I just read the qotd and laughed my ass off! Does that mean Iteach eats road kill?

    Sandie I think your daughter might have a bright future as a mortician! LOL

    Hope everyone is having a great day!

    Oh I wanted to amend my white teeth beauty secret just a bit. I also think it is aging gracefully that I still have most of my teeth!

    ReplyDelete
  59. That sounds like I was writing my age. Even I am not that old. I just feel like it when I first wake up. I am making some tea biscuits so I can have them with my new homemade raspberry jam and tea. Anyone want to join me?

    ReplyDelete
  60. Hey HO's!!!

    Just wanted to pop in and say Hi!!!

    I don't have time to read comments right now.....it's been an extremely busy day.

    CAROL - THANK YOU for the video today!!! I danced my ass (I wish) off and it just made me smile!!! A much needed shot of yellow today. :D

  63. Just a quick fly by to say hello to everyone that I missed this morning. I have been home for 5 minutes and leaving in about 10 minutes.
    Wabbear
    have fun on your trip with huz!
    I will check back later tonight to see if we've had any more pet tragedies. I sure hope not!
    Typically the best remedy for the loss of a pet is honestly to get a new one so I hope that y'all will all give it some thought! I did!
    Tina might want to get a new parakeet. If I should ever get a bird then I want to name it Tweetie.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Donna and Just_Lin - Tea and biscuits are ready. See you soon.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Sorry I'm late! Tinka, any tea and biscuits left??

    I am worn out from puppy-sitting. He has knocked over a candle, chewed a shoe, pooped on the floor and pulled my hair. He jumps in the pool every time he goes out so we have to leash him and take him out front or he's constantly wet. I'm exhausted. :P He's cute, though! :)

    The nest is very quiet tonight ...

    ReplyDelete
  66. popping in again. We were out of power for 5 hrs today. Never did find out why. I was in the middle of washing all the bedding! Dinner was fast food. I thought I was sooo cleaver mixing the meatloaf earlier! No oven, no meatloaf lol!
    I did get my nails done, so not all was lost. Now I have to do that four-letter word..i-r-o-n!

    We leave for Vegas tomorrow evening.
    Thanks for the well wishes. I'll be back after I make the beds and check emails....

  67. Sandie:
    Congrats on first!

    Lynn D:
    "ooga chucka, ooga chucka" loved it, I actually saw your comment this morning and was going to thank you, however a client walked in, and I had to jump well fly, off the nest...

    Those words were the whole meaning of the blog today, what they mean does not matter, it is the movement that they create, and the smiles as to WTF do those words mean...Silly...but good!

    Thank You, Lynn

    When I first saw that baby on Ally, it kinda creeped me out as well, it then grew on me, and I just love the song, so it just all came together...

    Is just about the movement...one has to move...Rosie always that..

    Speaking of Rosie, she is taking a break from blogging, a whole month, it seems she want so see if she can break away...Geez a whole month without Rosie...

    Do ya think she can do it?

  80. Hey Owls. I hope everyone is having a good day.

    Goldie, Is the ceiling fan on? That could be quite a ride!

    LynnD, Well, OK, then. I love your formula, especially #4. I still have all my teeth too. **Note to self: buy tanner**

    J/L, I'm glad you are enjoying your visit with your brother.

    Tinka got 69...Yay!!!!

    Hartldo, I love the Secret Garden. How nice that your daughter is in it. And congrats on your first march to 100.

    JodiHo, Glad you could fly in, even if just for a moment.

    Bebbi, Congrats on 90

  81. Hey Owlettes,

    It has been a long and exhausting day and I love popping in and getting to smile with my slightly yellow teeth! LOL

    Darn I missed the Tea and biscuits with raspberry jam. I love raspberry jam, that and blackberry!

    Donna Hart the Secret Garden was one of my all time favorite books! I bet your daughter will be great.

    Mary leaving for Las Vegas, don't forget to toot every time you pass an ebay machine! On second thought if you do give into temptation and play one and win I would like my cut so I can get some of my fees back! LMAO

    Carol that is my favorite part of the song ooga chucka, ooga chucka, only a guy would sing those lyrics! So caveman! ROFLMAO

    I hope everyone has a great evening!

  83. Hartldo,Vegas is almost our second home, so not sure if it is a vacation or not. We go every 3 or 4 months. It's Mr Mary's drug of choice lol!

    Carol, no need to jump in suitcase, just use your owl wings and meet me there! Try not to poop on anyone on your way! Oh, I think you can poop on a certain ebay slot machine lol!!

  85. Mary, do you always stay at the same hotel or do you try different ones?

    My parents always try different ones.

  86. Carol, no test results yet. I have a call to the doctor for more pain medication for my knee. My other one started hurting now from putting more stress on it.

    I think Rosie can do it. I will miss it but she should do what she needs to do. I hate those people that whine to her that they didn't get a "hi" in a while or where she is. For goodness sakes, give the woman a break! I don't understand that whole train of thought. I enjoy when she answers a question but I think she has enough pressure on her without adding to tons of people demanding a "hello".

    I just really respect her for doing the blog and allowing people to be a part of her life. That is an awesome thing to do. She's got an awesome awesome heart.

  87. Mary, I haven't been to Vegas since I was 7 years old! I really want to go back. I have been to Reno in the past few years though.

  88. WOW MARY! Every 3 or 4 months! My husband would be so happy to just get to go once.

  90. For those of you who dropped by for the biscuits and tea, thank you for the pleasant afternoon. I am off to see my daughter and family who just got home from their camping trip. They were gone 2 weeks and I am so proud of myself that I wasn't whining on the blog about missing them. That is what I usually do but I guess I am getting to be a 'big girl'. See you all tomorrow. love, Tink

  91. lynn d & Sacbarb: I love The Secret Garden too. It's going to be an amazing play. This is my daughter's 7th play she's been in but none have ever been this serious and demanding. The museum hired a very strict professional to direct this year's play. He is an old, eccentric Englishman who doesn't stand for any clowning around from the children. It's all serious business. But the kids are really liking it and they're learning so much! The play isn't until Sept. 5th & 6th. I can hardly wait!

    ReplyDelete
  98. You're all invited to come see the play in September!

    Just had Lucky Charms for breakfast, as a matter of fact. One of my favorites. I love Captain Crunch, Raison Bran, Honey Bunches of Oats, Basic 4....oh heck, I just love cereal! I really do! I could eat it for dinner, and sometimes I do!

  103. night hartldo & bebbi

    Hartldo I would love to see the play! You do live in Michigan, right? lol!

    iteach. We always stayed at the Star Dust until they tore it down. We knew every body by name. We were treated wonderful there. They always picked us up at the airport with their limos, and we got free rooms & food.
    We have been "courting"(spending most of our money there) the Venetion. We have been invited there & Treasure Island, so we are staying a few days at both.

    I will say goodnight now.I am having a hell-of-a-time typing with these new nails lol!!

  104. HONESTY!!!

    I have to be totally honest with everyone. It is now almost 9:45 pm PDT and I have not read the Blog, or any comments.

    I had a wonderful day with my 8 yr old granddaughter, and I will post about that tomorrow.

    I don't know what was said or posted today, or actually even later in the day yesterday.

    I will get to both days Blogs and postings Friday, and will be able to comment back.

    I do know that MANY of our BEAUTIFUL OWLETTES are going through tremendous personal family issues right now today, yesterday and for some of us, awhile back.

    For those dear and wonderful Hooters, (FRIENDS) I send my love, my support, and most of all positive thoughts. You know who you are that I am sending these thoughts to.

    May Peace, Love and Strong Arms to hold and give strength to those of you who need it, come to you at this time of need.

    Sleep well, and sweet dreams my friends, Donna Jean

    PS: I will be back tomorrow with a full report of my fantastic "Grandma Day", along with a new picture of the two of us!

  111. just lin: It really doesn't matter to me. Maybe "Hart" would be better since there is another Donna here. Some have been calling me Donna Jo, which is okay too. Like I told everyone the other night, just don't call me late for dinner! Unless you're having oysters, olives, mushrooms and tomatoes.

  112. Bebbi: There is nothing quick about me tonight. My daughter had 2 friends over today and they wore me out! One of the little girls is coming back over for the day tomorrow. I should really get to bed.
