    Morning Glories!

    MEK congrats on first! LOL

    Tina who sang this? I have always loved this song as her voice is so mesmerizing and her lyrics hold so much truth. I always get one of those spingle thrills when I hear it on the radio. It is how I now a great song from just a good song.

    I was MIA yesterday. Ran errands and then started to steam clean my couch. More of that today. Then tackling the rest of the livingroom. Can't quit when I am on a roll!

    Shirley your blog from yesterday was a hoot and so true! LMAO

    Tina er um I hope your hole is not gaping as much today!

    Happy Sunday to MEK (congrats on first!!), Carol, Shirley and LynnD and to everyone that pops by later! Have a fabulous day everyone!

    Tina...OMG, Tina thank you for choosing this video! It gave me goose bumps to hear it again! I love it! "At Seventeen" song came out when I was about seventeen and it it was as if Janis Ian had been reading my journals. I was having a hard time being seventeen and I used that song to let my parents know what I was feeling, but they didn't get it. But I did and the song really helped me to understand that I wasn't alone in the world and in what I was experiencing. It is amazing the power and impact one song can have! Thank you for a powerful memory and song, Tina!

    Lukie is staying with me this weekend. He is the amazing twelve year old boy who is deafblind that stays with me every now and then to give his foster mom a break! I love that kid!! And I am very happy that he is still asleep and didn't wake up at is usual 5am - and I am sure my apartment building neighbours are too.

    Hope the duo in Denver are having a fantastic time together!

    Have a great summer Sunday everyone!

    Wow I haven't heard this song in years... thanx for posting, Tina!

    The lyrics make so much more sense now than when I firsts heard it.

    Lynn I think the singer if Janis Ian.

    We are in for another Arizona day, 105!!

For a long time I thought the nest had moved and I had missed the message. You do so much for us, please don't worry when something goes wrong. You have enough on your 'plate' now without worrying about the auto blog. By the way I love you.

    I shut the blog down again. I am good at doing that.

    I loved the song you chose Tina. I remember it well even though I was married and had 3 little kids at the time. It still brings back memories.
    When I was 17 I was already teaching in a little one room school. I was having a wonderful time. I was almost engaged as I was married at 19. I guess I never had any wild teen-age years. The next time I come to earth I think I will be a 'wild child'.

    MEK Congrats on FIRST and FORE! I hope you had sweet dreams, too.

    Tina Great choice for today's song! For the most part, being 17 was a great time for me. I was active enough that my body was still in good shape. There was the usual angst over boyfriends, but my worries then were so small compared to things that would happen later in life. At seventeen, my future was still ahead of me and all things were possible. Sweet memories. Thanks again, Tina.

    Good afternoon everyone. I hope everyone is having a good weekend.
    I thoroughly enjoyed our Family reunion/BBQ yesterday.We haven't been together since our Dad's funeral 15 years ago.Only one Sister from Georgia didn't make it. We had a wonderful surprise. A wonderful friend of the family found out about our get together and showed up. He used to be our neighbor and the High school basketball coach who eventually became the Principle of the school we all attended. I used to babysit his children. It really made our day!

    On Sat. blog, Shirley, I can so relate! I already have poison ivy, had the sticky bbq, and am now cooking meatloaf and mac in the oven!

    Vig, loved the "Duo in Denver" term. I bet they are having a ball!

    MEK: Would you believe we didn't go, on today of all days? In fact, we're not going out today at all!

    Reasons: Two. One, we're both thoroughly hung over from last night's party. We were the last to leave, at about 1 AM, and by then, the damage was most certainly done!

    Second: Jim's Dad is going to go any hour now, so he's in no mood for socializing. :(

    Shirley - My jam turned out well. I wish you could join me for some crumpets with strawberry jam and tea. Yes, the price of the berries was high. I just closed my eyes and paid it. My daughter and son-in-law grew enough to make quite a few batches of jam. Next year maybe we will try that.
    Sorry to hear your mom is in pain. That is so hard to watch.

    Mary - Aren't family reunions great? There is nothing like them especially when you meet family that you haven't seen in
    years.
    We are home from a family dinner. I am ready for sleep. However Tango and Tia want to walk and it's a beautiful summer evening.

    Tina - Congrats on 100.

    VIG - Are you enjoying the warm weather?

    See you all tomorrow.

    We have had a busy day. We went to see the new movie My Sister's Keeper. Its with Cameron Diaz and the little girl from Medium. Good movie but pretty sad.

    I gave Zona a big driving tour of downtown, The Bronco stadium, showed her where the Democrat convention was held, etc. We then accidently got caught up in the gay pride parade. We might be on the news waving out the car window :). BEAR, u would have been so proud of us

    Right now I'm sitting in the car at the park while ZONA walked up to the Columbine Memorial (little too much walk for these old knees).
    J/L: very interested in the big snake left by the plumber

    Will write more later from the computer

    Hi hooters,

    Bear, so sorry to hear of Jim's dad. I am thinking of you both...

    MEK, MR. EBJ wants us to adopt another orphan kitten that is at our vet clinic! His name is Condor and he is about 4 weeks old.

    So far I am holding firm, we have our hands full with the "thug" kitty we have now.

    So what kind of puppy did you get????

    Tinka your jam sounds wonderful! yum.

    Kgirl I'm sure you will pass me up and get more 69s than me! :)

    It was 104 here today and we were in the pool til 5:30 tonight.

    JL glad your pipes are cleaned out!

    I bet the Denver Duo are having a great time together! Can't wait to see pics!

    Goldie, hope you are better tonight!

    MR. EBJ bought frozen bananas on a stick, yes covered in chocolate too! I have been really good, but that is just too tempting.

  132. Just_LinJune 28, 2009 at 11:04 PM

    Dianne He didn't leave his snake! He used it. I'm glad you and Zona are having a good time. Gee, they even threw a parade for you!

    Bear My thoughts are with you and Jim, too.

    MEK Are you nuts? Another puppy? That means double trouble.

    EBJ Are you nuts? You don't want another kitty to play with Nancy and keep her out of trouble? LOL

    JL I call Nancy thug or gangsta kitty as she is TROUBLE. She is fearless and LOVES to bite and claw me!

    I can't imagine 2 of them running the house.

    She is 9 weeks old now, I need to put up some new pics of her.

I don't think you can turn it up high enuf for this little sucker!!!!! I just thank God he didn't kill any other dogs and he didn't pull my arm out of it's socket! close....but no cigar!

    I was very young when I knew I wanted to be a teacher too. I started teaching at 17 with one year of Normal School. I loved it. I got my degree in Education by night school, summer school and taking a year off teaching. It's a great profession.

    Hi Everyone!!

    I'm having a blast here in Denver with Dianne. I fall into the basement bed every night absolutely exhausted.

    DI and MR. DI are really wonderful..I am kinda sick of the grapes they are making me eat though. ;)

    MARY!! Tomorrow I go to my first casino! Maybe I'll win a whole bunch of money..then if you come visit Di YOU can go find MY slot..deal?? ;)

    MEK: Congrats on the new puppy..I love that you've got Mr MEK speaking it's language aleady. ;)

    TINKA: DIANNE is the best..she takes me to cultural events downtown and tomorrow she is going to help me with my math! ;)

    TINA: I know..try ROLLERSKATES!! ;)

    J/LIN: King Cobra? ;)

    CAROL: I'm sorry blogger is being such a poop..

    VIG: I'm glad you're having a good time with Luke!

    KGRL: It was 69 degrees at 9pm.. we thought of you! ;)

    EBJ: It was 110 yesterday in Phoenix..and the a/c went out at my house. Mr. Z was able to fix it though..whew!! Stay cool..anyway you can!! :D

    BEAR: Thinking 'bout you and Jim, so sorry to hear about his dad.

    HI LYNND! HI GOLDIE! HI ITEACH! HI SHIRLEY..and HI to your chocolate cake avatar too! HI BEBBI!

    OK..I have a confession to make..all these wonderful places I've been going and I keep forgetting my camera. I'll definately try to remember it tomorrow.

    Now I have a favor to ask..since we are going to a casino..I wonder if all the owls will please send us a little luck..just a little, please? Thank you! :)

    EBJ - i vote for the second kitty!!
    but who am i to vote - I'm the insane one that just got another puppy!!!

    But - in all seriousness - we ARE thinking of the future - we know what grief bailey went thru when Barney didn't come home - since bailey is "up in years" - we decided to make sure that our little one had a good buddy so that they will spend their whole lives together..

    the afternoon went great - i sat outside in the blistering heat on "dog patrol" to make sure all playing was really playing... everyone is getting along AMAZINGLY well........

    and they all are sleeping very soundly right now - they have worn each other out...

    we'll see how the night goes..

    anyway - our new little guy (yes, we got a boy) - is a mix of alot of mixes - he's brindle in color and looks like our barney... (I'm sure that is why I have been drawn to his picture for a month) - he's So mellow... (cuz we looked at our little one's friend from the dog parks litter mate - and that dog was WAY too hyper for me - he was just full of himself!!!!)...

    we aren't sure if we are going to keep his name or change it... but he's had three puppy training classes and knows sit, down, come, wait, leave it and he walks great on a leash!! :-)

    SO - wish me luck on some sleep tonight!! :-)

    and yes, tina, I am fucking crazy!!

    MEK: I can't wait to see "Tommy" in his hand-me-down Bronco outfit. The exciting part is that it might fit this time. Let me know if you need more in all sizes..:)

    We have to go to bed early tonight as tomorrow is gambling day and buffet day. We will have the camera but when ZONA takes the first picture in the casino...I think she will be surprised when security takes her away. Shhhh it's a secret and I will try and get a picture of that and maybe..just maybe...I can have her wearing the necklace and boy will it be traveling.

    Night....
