    Carmy, he started telling me all about how the Wings were going to win early in the play offs & I predicted Penguins against Wings, Penguins winning it all. Marion Hossa who played major junior near my town played for Penguins last year and lost to the Wings so he bailed on them to play for the Wings. While I like Marion, I did NOT like his disloyalty!

    Morning, tribe! Sounds like Wink has gotten addicted to doctortoon’s coffee. It is one of my pet peeves - someone opening the last package and not marking it on the shopping list. (I figure it is less confusing to ask that they mark the list when they OPEN the last, instead of trying to figure out how low can it get before it qualifies. That also gives me time to go to the store before it becomes an emergency.)

    Akenta, I know what you mean about using things up in the office and not telling anyone! I order our office supplies and then everyone looks at me when we run out of something, LIKE COFFEE,, “Did you order such and such? We’re out of it!” Well, duh, that’s why I have a list taped to the supply cupboard with a pen attached!

    Hello Tribe. Just brought some Krispy Creams by for the breakfast/brunch. Going to the movies today with my spouse. Saw Up week before last, highly recommended. This time it’s The Taking of Phelm 1-2-3 Really odd, I’m watching John T. in Michael right now, and gonna see him 10+ years later on the big screen, etc. I’ve also seen the original movie as well.

    Stormy’s fleas are better, still not totally gone but a vast improvement. It’s going to be hard to get them dead in this hot, human weather, but come winter we don’t use the heater much and that may do them in.

    Have a blessed day everyone! If you are sick, may you recover, and if you are not sick may you stay that way!

    Happy weekend my fellow yappy nuts! Glad to see things don’t change even when I’m not able to get under BT as often as I’d like. I’ll be in & out today so will drop in when I can.

    I’ll share our sun & 80º’s weather for those who would enjoy them. I have mint tea (iced or hot), rosemary citrus lemonade, and acacia/cranberry punch for a mid-day pick-me-up.

    DocT - Hope you saw my post from last night. Wouldn’t want the sun to cause any more damage!

    Yes Dry, we have six areas to sit comfortably outdoors. Two have tables with umbrellas. We are actually thinking of adding another deck for out of the wind spring sitting. On a lake, we get wind almost every sunny day. In the spring it can be cold, so we might build a small deck, just big enough for a couple of chairs and a small table where we can enjoy morning coffee in April and May. In the summer the breeze is nice.

    You must have a REALLY nice home! I envy you! We moved here when we first looked into buying a home, rent to own we did. It’s a nice house, but as the kids got bigger, the house got samller, and now it’s perfect for a retirement home when the kids are gone, but I always had a fantasy dream of my ideal house, guess I should just be thankful for what I have! At least my home is comfortable and its mine!

    Dry - Here is your mojito. Our house is nice, we need a new kitchen and a new master bathroom. Our living room is a great room with two story floor to ceiling windows looking out at the lake. Our outside is stellar. My wife is a master gardener and has made our yard seem like a park. Our main lawn is a regulation size croquet court. My wife has lived here for close to 20 years. I have only been here for about 4. I have been instrumental in some of the decks and patio areas so the house has begun to feel like a part of me as well. We live on a dead end road, with nice neighbors, yet have plenty of privacy. It is a good place to be.

    Dry - To be honest, my yard is my wife’s fantasy. My fantasy yard would have no lawn and would be no maintenance with plants that took care of themselves, but we are working towards my fantasy, at least in sections of our yard, by planting native plants that once established need little care.

    Thankseveryone for your good wishes and your deposits in the bank for me. It means a lot and I feel better already. It really is great to have friends like all of you. I’ll be at the party. Can I bring some chokecherry wine that a friend gave us. He makes wines from several different kinds of fruit but I like the chokecherry best.. I also have some regular juice.

    serena - you must be a girl after my own heart. I have a special love of chokecherries. Growing up in the midwest, I have developed a special fondness for chokecherry syrup, which I use on waffles and pancakes. I would love to try the wine.

    cleo, by master gardener, do you mean she just knows her gardening, or does she work with your State Extension service? We have Master Gardeners here who volunteer their time two days a week at Penn State Extension to answer phone calls from gardeners who have questions about their trees, vegetable gardens, flowers, etc They have to take a short course and test to be sure they qualify. I think I could do it, but I just don’t have the time. Maybe when I retire??

He’ll be gone 5 weeks. He emails her everyday- must have a blackberry.

When I was at work, we’d have someone bring some in occasionally, but you had to drive anywhere to get them, and I don’t have a car. I think mostly wwe went back to Tim’s for donuts.

It started in his colon and went to his liver. they say it’s a new treatment just approved in Canada, and when the lesion is shrink, they’ll operate. Anywasy, I appreciate what you have been going through based on what he says chemo is like. He can only work half days.

    Shika - My lake is not big. It is kind of divided into two sections which a small bridge seperates. The big part of the lake is about seven miles around, it is the shallowest and also has the freeway on the eastern edge. We live on the small part of the lake, which has a park on the other side from us and is by far deeper than the big lake and is also near the source of the lake, which is our drinking water. The small section is probably only a mile around, but the road only is on one side, so it is only an estimate. And, big bonus, we don’t hear the freeway.
