HI

Well, I am not tickled pink. The dentist thought I was just kidding. He then stated - maybe next time. I almost replied Hell NO, but bit my tongue and said: thank you but no. I really never  ever want a next time.

Miss - so glad to see you  back and what a fun time you had, any pics to share? And some of your new cabinets too.

Nice poem Jesusintheboat. thanks for sharing.

Here it is a rainy day - so getting to see this Super Full Moon is a no. I am bumped a bit, I think it would be Golden in color. The start of harvesting is happening and that full moon is always golden.

Finally heard form my sailor :). He just had to turn in his Harley of three months. Its only problem - it was too small. Really? Too small ? Wouldn't you think he would have  figured that one out when buying it? So he sent a pic of the new BIGGER one. And it matches the color of his truck - black. I asked for a pic of him on it. Still waiting. Bet I get one of his foot on the bike.

Need to get - the Laundry Fairy is visiting. Plus I have to watch out for Shark. She is on a major walk about. If anything gets in her way - she climbs over it. Just want a need, a turtle with attitude.

Have a great weekend all hugs

Good morning, "Pan Moms"!  I have been reading, but not much time to update.   My 3 sisters and I went to my daughter's this past weekend.  We had more fun than should have been allowed.  One sister commented that we had laughed from the time we left Iuka till we got back, and no alcohol was involved!  We did have a really good time, and my sweet daughter kept telling us that we were about to wear her down!  LOL!  I asked her Sunday morning if she was ready for us to leave? She said, "no Mom, I am never ready for you to leave, but a much needed nap is in my future"!  We did work on planning my Mom's 85th birthday celebration. Now we have to get started.  Hubby stayed home and worked on my new kitchen cabinets.  

Hope all is well with everyone, and that you all have a blessed day.

I held him as an infant; I hugged him as a boy and through the years he has become my greatest pride and joy.

I love him more than I can say, his life more precious than mine own, but gone are the whims and notions of the little boy I had known

For the years have passed so quickly since the time it all began and now he stands before me with the conviction of a man.

He wants to serve his country , he states aloud with pride as I try to sort out the emotions I'm feeling deep inside...a union of the uncertain fear, which I cannot control and the allegiance which lies deep within my patriotic soul.

I trust that my years of guidance will serve as a strong foundation as he performs the duties requested from his beloved nation.

God please guide him as he travels to the places our soldiers have bled and walk with him through pathways where those heroes' feet have tread.

O Sweet Land of Liberty , humbly I give you my son, praying you'llreturn him safely home when his work for you is done.

HI All

 Well, tomorrow I find out if I am "Tickle Pink. Promise to let you know.

Hubby and I had a nice day yesterday. Weather was perfect for Rendezvous at his black powder club. Hubby even came in fourth place in a shoot. Proud of him - he selected four already cured cast iron skillets. ( small to large) AS me I played games with the kids that showed up. But hubby and I got time to talk - gossip - collect hugs - joked - eat good food and just relax. So relaxed I forgot to take any pictures. I realized that this morning.

I was happy to see some persons - teh Clarks.  MR. clark is a master nettle weaver and he had been teaching me how. I was thrilled I had found the second loom he had made me - lost first in flood. So I brought it along and I had started a pouch. He checked it over and said I was doing a find job and very proud of me. Oh did my heart leap. He even gave me more nettles to hopefully finish this pouch.

Other than that - no new gossip. I am waiting for hubby to get home to help unload groceries and then have the time to make a cake.

wish all that your weekend is fun and relaxing too. hugs

Get a Japanese phase book.  Learn just a few phases and the Japanese will warm up to you.  Have a great visit.....

Comment by T-Lynn on August 18, 2015 at 6:10pm

He is so precious Kim. Maybe soon he will like the swing.

Hope this finds all doing well. I finally will have that last - I mean last appointment to get the crown. During the last appointment - they were trying to match my tooth color for the new crown. I stated I would rather the crown to be Flamingo Pink. The dentist said he can do that. So ladies, if I say I am tickled pink - you know I got it.

Going to get off - weather alarm went off earlier and now sky is changing. I know for sure that a BIG thunderstorm will get here, but not sure if it will be really severe. The weather cat - Mater is not hiding.

Hey wish all a good evening. hugs

Comment by Kim on August 17, 2015 at 10:18am

I like daddy's picnic.

Comment by Kim on August 17, 2015 at 10:16am

I don't like the swing daddy!
