Good morning my girlies....we're all "zipping" along so nicely!!!
Happy Wednesday and Happy Feb. 1 Gals!
Reds- It sounds like you are getting some much needed moisture lately! Wish we could get some too. I guess there is a slight chance for some snow Thurs night into Friday but it doesn't sound like much for us. The mountains are quite shy of regular snowfall amounts again this year which means we could rationing outdoor watering here this summer...Farms and ranches wont get their alotted irrigation water either....
I totally enjoyed my class yesterday! I think I will stick to quilting, sewing knitting and my other stuff though. My hands just cant handle the rug making. I guess I will crochet rugs instead :{ Hey maybe I will just buy them !!! LOL
Have a great day everyone!
Good day all, wow I have been awake since 2:15 this AM... it sure makes the day drag. I have another rug making class today, this one should be easier on the old arthritic hands! Wish me luck, girls. :)
Sherrill- I love the way you think too! I have had an idea as to how to solve our budget woes and clear the deficit...Make our politicians hold down a minimum wage full time job with no benefits and work in gov't for free!! You think they may be a bit more motivated to get things done? Ha!
Go out and make it a great day, share a smile with someone who lost theirs!
MNM- I will never understand the way the Gov't works. It is one of those stupid things that make me scratch my head and wonder... Hmmmmm...and then grrrrrrrr!
Happy Monday all! Connie- I tried to cross the bridge once, but can't handle that it moves under my feet from the wind!! So when friends and family come to visit I stay on one side and they go do their thing...I am quite content to find some shade and wait for them!! It is weird, I don't mind flying, but heights bother me. I prefer to ride the train through the gorge and look up, up, waaaaay up at the bridge!
Cindy- That is the kind of winter we're having out here. frigid temps, wind and snow one day... then Chinook winds and in the 60's the next. It no wonder everyone has colds they can't shake. Hank is stuggling with one and has been miserable. He is doing great on his post holiday weight loss! Yesterday he had the munchies and ate a quarter of a head of cabbage instead of junk!! He has amazing will power!
Hope you all have a great day!
Good afternoon my Girlies!!!
CC-been on that bridge...too young to know better....NEVER AGAIN!!! so i might "talk a big talk" i wouldn't zip line either!!!
MNM-thanks girlie...if any one can find it, it would be you!!!
Morning ladies! We heard from B yesterday... He saw a specialist (civilian) and had more tests run in the past couple of weeks. This Dr is refusing to send him out to the fleet because of one seizure, So B is digging in his heels and is going to fight it. They want him to take a disability and early discharge, B wants to serve! This could take a while.... They don't know my son! "Strong Willed" is a good definition...Hmmm where did he get that from? :)
Zipline- There are a couple not too far from us. Up near the Royal Gorge (home of the world's highest suspension bridge) MNM I am with you I think I'll keep my feet firmly planted on the ground!
