Moon excuse me for what I am about to say as I do profess to be a Christian but where is the equal time let's see men in speedoes serving coffee. Sorry! I just had to say it, couldn't stop myself. I don't have to worry about it cause I don't drink coffee. I'm with you it should be behind closed doors away from the kids and all of us. God says to keep our minds pure and not make others fall.

WELCOME HOME, BEAR!!! :-)

Hey,Bear-sounds like you had a nice vacation.Now you have to go back to work & rest up.

Heyo one and all

Welcome home Beary girl I'm so glad you had a good time and fun and relaxation. I'm so due for a vacation that words can't describe. However, the closest i'm going to come to it i think is when my knee gets carved on, if it does. I see an ortho guy on Wednesday. Cross my fingers and hope for the best.

Ned, FF, we have a coffee place here in Kitsap County in Gorst that has Ti%%ie Tuesday, where the baristas wear bikini bottoms and pasties. Needless to say. . . i have never been there. However on Tuesday. . . .my worker/driver bus is about half full. Most of the peeps who ride the worker/driver bus are men. Hmmmmm go figure. LOL. The great thing about America. . . . i don't have to go there for a cuppa joe. . .there is a Latte Stand on almost every corner, but i mostly go to the corner gas station for mine. Cheap, fresh, and tasty. There is so much competition that they have to do something to stand out. And the little darlins make money hand over fist.

When i was young and hot (back in the dark ages) i worked in a bar for a while where i had to wear a costume that consisted of hot pants, fishnet stockings, a halter top and a sailor hat. Oh, and high heels. My tips were out the roof. I also worked in a bar where i wore whatever i wanted, mostly shorts and a shirt and flats. My tips were not really extreme until i gussied up a bit, put on short shorts, a teeny shirt, and heels. And then. . . . .bonanza! Sex sells, that's why "they" use it.

Linda 99 ways to figure out the best way. . . I didn't mean to imply that Travis needed to "learn" a lesson, i was talking more about society than your situation, and my heart goes out to you. I know how heartbroken you are, and how much you want your son to succeed. I remember how proud you are of him when he plays in the band, and how pleased you are when he does well. But you know what is worse than graduating at 20? Not graduating at all. My son, Geoff, who i am so proud of that my heart bursts when i think about him didn't go back to school to be a puter geek until he was 27. It took him 3 and a half years to complete a 2 year program. The time doesn't matter tho. What matters is that he stuck it out, worked hard, and graduated. Please don't be mad at me, i luv ya dearly and never meant to hurt you. And i know that you and Travis and Cubby are going to work this out. Don't be hard on yourself, it's NOT your fault. You do the very best that you can and hey. . SH&T happens. The teen years are the hardest years of all time to get thru. It makes potty training and teething seem like a walk in the park. ((((((((((((((Linda)))))))))))

Kimmy. . . what an awesome place to go play! Your pics are beautiful, and Eli and Scott look so happy and like they are having so much fun. I'd love to live in the country too, but . . . .unlike Green Acres. . farming isn't the life for me. I love to visit tho. Welcome back!

Lady G. . .except for the insurance part, you and hubby could make a living remodeling houses. Your new place sounds awesome! Hope it sells quickly and for the price that you want.

Llama, welcome to relaxation. 74 days is such a fun thing to look forward to.

Heyo Scrappy Pat.

Mama K. . .. .big hugs to you too. Kol is testing the limits, me thinks, and i sure hope that you can rein him in. Maybe it's just summer fever. I hope he calms down and does better in school.

Hi Ned, Hi MM, nice to see our guys popping him and keeping us company. Now play nice and share. . . . . Now one of you can split the winkies and the other one gets to go first.

Hiyo DB, having a good trip? Hope so!

Well, i have things to do, cats to annoy, weeds to erraticate, and the slugs are coming out. ALL SLUGS MUST DIE!!!!!!! I think i will go slay some.

Huggies winkies and here's to better days a'coming.

Bear, your clematis is beautiful! My newest one is blooming, and it looks like there are a few more blooms getting ready to open. I'll g out tomorrow and take a picture. The one that scott decapitated did not make it. I will keep watering the pot though, and hope that the roots stay alive and it comes back next year. I think I'll plant it in the ground this weekend and mark where it is... maybe it will surprise me!

FF - I'm not a fan of Speedos... but maybe some nice boxer briefs... heeheehee

Here are some pictures from the Kangaroo Farm!





I even got to hold an 8 month old wallaby baby! And I made a friend... The wallaby that Elijah is petting in the pictures decided that she really liked me and grabbed a hold of my hand with her paws and proceeded to lick my hand for as long as I let her. Then she followed me to the next area we were going to!

Dori-you're still a young hottie.Thanks for the winkies.
Kimmy-that thing looks like a bunny wabbit.

It's WAY bigger than a bunny! They have Kangaroos, Wallabies, llamas, ostriches, emus, lemurs, chickens, turkeys, ducks... It only cost $20 for all 3 of us to get in, and we got an hour tour! Eli thought it was pretty cool that he got to pet the animals (and so did I!).

Kimmy! My hubby and his kids used to live in Republic! LOL We still have friends that live there. Republic is sticksville for sure! Beautiful country though. Wish there was a way to make a living there so more people could live there because of the beauty. it is a good place to visit though. Not much going on there anymore since they close the saw mill. It is like a ghost town.

Bear nice pic of your clematis.

Thanks for all the comments on our house. I wish we could do it full time but we have bills and need the money to fix them up too. Hubby is getting to where he doesn't have the speed and struggles everyday with mental measurements that this is going to be our last house. We may buy more rentals so that will keep us busy for a while.

The beauties in bikini's isn't really new. I think it was somewhere in the Seattle area. Now that they weather is getting better it is bringing this kind of thing out. Sex sells whether we don't think it does.

First day at work and I am tired. These pills seem to make me more tired.

Nite, Lady G

Hi all..from work to gardening to Deanna and crocheting for Annalise....there are just not enough hours in the day. Do we really need to sleep??

Ned...prayers for you. Hope next week goes well.

Gotta head to bed....it is midnight and I have to be up at 7:30 am for work. No baby yet, but we are getting closer. I just feel soooo bad for her. Will feel so relieved when this is over.

Hugs to all.....
