Hi All !!!!

So glad to see all the gossip. And Miss - weather is gossip - so thank you

Surprised not see Kim - but she had her birthday and she just might be recovering from all that celebrating.

Hubby and I celebrated our 45th Wedding Anniversary on Saturday.  But we didn't go until Sunday - we were needed to babysit. That's ok - we had a cake sent to us from dil Dania - sailor's wife - and the kids were so excited to see a cake mailed!  But we did go out ALL day until late yesterday - Sunday - too much celebrating . When we got home I threw up dinner. Either too much grease in the Fish and Chips or that Guinness cheese Cake had too much Guinness. 

fingers crossed i can get some pictures up to share. Shark would like to see all of you too.  She will be 45 years old on August 11th.  And she is on major walk about. ALL over - tried to climb the stairs - the closet door and her latest thing - trying to crawl into the shower will hubby. All I heard one morning was : "Get out of her".  Look to see the turtle running out of the bathroom.  NO I did not get a picture!

Thanks Nuke mom for keeping us alive. And TX - at this moment I cannot help you out.  But I will send positive vibes. 

Hey maybe I should start that Positive List again.  I would list all the things us Pam Moms needed and think about them every day.  Ok - doing that . TX you are on the top of the list. 

Blondie - when are you NOT at work?!  the day you actually retire - we all are going to party!!! Until then - one step at a time and BREATH!

Hey - that reminds me - Kim was talking about retiring in September- any one hear anything?

hey need to split - stomach is not happy. going to lay down  hugs

Angel The Devil cat, after recovering from her hip surgery has become mischievous. She can now catch critters. Last year her favorite pastime with bringing in her pets, Cicadas!. she loved there chirping, and would touch them, gently, with her paws, until they protested. She started losing weight, eating like she was starving, and still getting thinner. She drank constantly, and I thought I was watching her waste away. She was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism, and we began a journey towards a Radio Active Iodine treatment. She is now in recovery, and will know if it was successful in August. She has, however, found new pets to bring into the home. Chipmunks! She brings them in alive, and chases them about the house! I found on that had died. I placed the poor thing under the tree where our resident Red Shouldered Hawk  likes to visit. That day, for the first time, he got his first Grub Hub carry out (hate to see good food go to waste).Since then, I keep the bird feeders full, Angel loves her window, and watches them intently. She can pretend to hunt from now on!!

Angel is a beautiful cat!   So happy to see her looking so good.  Thanks for snapping us a picture.  Now we want to hear some "Angel" stories.
