Rayray update

Rachel did very well on her big Art midterm - an 87! I am a proud Mommy. She also did supurb on another Psychology test - 94 or 96 I can't remember. That is really good considering that in that man's class an 84 or above is an A. His test are so hard he told them no one ever makes a 100 - so see how smart my baby is.

Love, love, love

and finally.....BJ

Here is a picture of my beloved friend BJ (with her son Mark and grandson Ross). I have known BJ and her family for most of my life....heck, we are family. Mark and my brother Larry were good friends growing up, and her daughter Tami is my best friend..(remember conversations with Tami and BOB?). Anyway, I have been meaning to introduce BJ (though I know most of you know her). We talk all of the time - usually once a day. She lives in Florida with her girls and I miss them all so much. We all look forward to BJ's visit because we have such fun together.

Speaking of visits...."BJ, come home soon!" I love you!

I'M BACK!

Hey Everybody - Did you miss me? I had a nice trip to Boston, worked hard and came back. That is about the extent of it. My flight home was memorable. On the first leg I was sitting at the airport watching people come through security, when I realized that 4 people in wheelchairs were waiting on the same flight as me. I thought they should rename US Air to Assisted Living Airlines! Oh, and two people had cats! One of the women with a cat was in a wheelchair with her husband using a walker when he wasn't pushing her. When he was, she was trying to hold on to 1) cat, 2)walker, and 3)cane. She dropped the walker and cane so many times I just quit watching. Of course, that would not have happened if they could decide to stay in one place and just wait for the plane! Thank goodness she didn't drop the cat. I would have had to have said something then.

Have a great weekend!

Here is my pretty princess on the hood of my car last night.....so what would her name be right now? That's right Salibu (Sally on the Malibu). Just a post to let you know I am going to Boston on business. Won't be back until Wednesday evening. Will try to post from there, but not sure if I will have time.

Oh, and Boo made a 97 on her Math exam! Yea! Proud, proud, proud. And she survived the evil, nasty, Art Mid-term. No grade there yet.

Take care!

Squirrel Tree

This is a Cypress tree in my yard. The squirrels will climb the tree and gently pull off long lengths of bark. They will pull several pieces at a time and delicately roll them up into a big ball. While holding this ball with their teeth, they then look in all directions for Evil Zlid (Sally). Once they see the coast is clear, they run across the driveway, jump into the tulip tree, climb to the top and jump into the big oak tree, and from there they are home free! I love to watch them, but they sure are scarring (scar-ring) up the tree.

Happy Friday!

DEAD HERBS

WATER! WATER! Guess who forgot she was growing an herb garden. Oh well, it was a lot of fun, and I did use them a lot. I can't wait to do it again next year. I promise to do better next year and share with all of you. I had enough I could have dried them and not bought any at the store. The bright green plant in the middle is not a strong, healthy sole survivor, it is a weed.

Green Thumbs to you!

Eerie - My friend Pam

Yesterday I was having lunch with Mickey at Rosies. We saw our friend Pam just as she was walking out of the door, so we didn't get a chance to say hey. I was sitting home last night and the phone rang and it was Pam! She hardly ever calls, so I thought how ironic it was that I saw her at lunch (she didn't see us) and then she calls me. Kind of strange don't you think.

Another thing that is strange is that Pam didn't want to believe that Clay Aiken was gay! She was so in denial. I guess she does not have a choice now but to accept it and move on! Poor Pam.

Love

P.S. Ya'll say a prayer for Rayray....she is having a huge Art midterm this afternoon.
