Morning...my people :l
Twins are in the great room singing The Parting Glass....very emotional...

Sun, love that your German improved with every drink! :H I used to turn in some old Jewish woman from the Bronx ..what's up with that?! Too many Woody Aleena movies.

Reccie I did the trouser thing for years too.. Than discovers Gloria Vandervilt and Vanity pants and all bets were off.....

Gotta go...battery low.
Happy Sunday:l:h

Hey all - having a hard time getting on here this morning. That must mean that they are making progress on moving to the new server! :goodjob: I think that it's great that things are moving forward.

Having a lazy day. Started reading 'A Man Called Ove' and can't put it down. It's fabulous.

Pauly - yep it was me on Facebook. Sorry, meant to tell you that.

Hope that everyone is having a wonderful day. Going to be another hot one here. :upset:

Catch you all in a bit. Off to read...........

Glad the shrimp boil was a success mama, I hope clay enjoyed himself. Sorry you feel bad about the beers yesterday, I guess the temptation would have been quite strong in that kind of environment. If you're aiming for thirty days, there's a new month about to begin, so how about trying for a sober September?

Hope hubs is less grumpy today pauly. Could the grumpiness be because he's anxious about his health?

Kradle, you have me wondering what vanity pants are...

:hallo: nora, sunny, dotts

Back home and relaxing. Tired today and thinking back to last year. I was under so much stress and just having a rough time. Glad that is behind me now.
We have a huge fireworks display tonight on the river and it is televised so that is what I will be watching. Used to go downtown to watch but I like crowds less and less the older I get so my comfy couch is fine with me.

I have a lot of reading back to do.

I worked on getting the house cleared out and cleaned up on Thursday and Friday so the realtor could take pics yesterday. Went to the cabin, came home today...and found out my second cousin lost her battle with cancer. :upset: She isn't even fifty years old.

Kradle - I have no idea what Vanity pants are either !!! In UK, pants are underwear just to let you know ..... LOL

I have had a lovely day - haven't done much of anything. Nora - I am so pleased that you are enjoying A Man Called Ove. It is hard when one recommends a book - after all, we all have such different feelings about what makes a book good....

MB - lovely chatting today - I hope to get to visit you next year!!!

Kradle - I did laugh about the German improving - the thing is that according to the folk that were with me, it actually DID - so it must have been a confidence issue that disappeared with the appearance of AL !! I was pretty good with my German - but maybe was afraid to use it ?

Jan - if I come and visit - is it okay that I do not eat fishy food ? LOL Oh - and as an aside - I think you need to let hubs know that because YOU have a problem with AL that HE needs to recognize that and deal accordingly !!! He needs to really deal with it .....it is NOT just YOUR problem !!!! Love you !!!!

Nora - am so happy that you are enjoying A Man Called Ove. I hate to put it out there that it is such a good book - after all, we all have such different tastes - but it is way different to my usual books - and I loved it !!

Reccy - when you said about trying for a sober September - I sort of shrivelled up inside. I can do a few days a a time but am not sure about going for a whole month. I know that I need to - I do not drink like a normal person. Four Guinness is not normal. Hmmm.

Plus I know that when I come to UK I WILL be drinking ! I know that I can say no - but I know that I will be drinking.... Reccy - YOU know the culture better than most of the folk that are here !!!! PLEASE explain !!!

And on that note I am going to get going .....

Love and hugs to all,

Sun XXX

I feel badly posting this after fens post - I went to the web site to see if anything had been posted before I posted this -

Hi ~ good day today. Went to church, ran/walked 4 mi, been doing laundry and watching PGA golf.

Dot, I knew you would have a good time at block party. Why? Because you weren't looking forward to it. Things we anticipate greatly often turn out kind of blah. Just had a feeling and so glad you did.

I put a request for The Man called Ove, something like that. Read lots and love visiting the library. Prior to our moving to FL, I came down by myself on March 9, 2009. That evening when dh & I had our nightly call I told him I got a library card. His response was "you're never coming home, are you"?

Tomorrow we are playing in The Folds of Honor golf tourney. $40 of each of our entry fees goes to military families. The greens will be waving the American flag. Tonite is veggie pizza and NA beer. Yay!

Fen, I am so sorry about your cousin. Hate the big "C".

Hey all .... I have had such a lovely day ..... been doing just odds and sods but really enjoyed it.

Just had dinner -made some stuff with mushrooms, peppers and onions, black beans, tomatoes, and brown rice - a lot of it from garden - not the rice - LOL.

TMH - Some of us DO survive the Big C - don't we MB ??? I feel for those battling it - it is SO hard! Something I would not wish on my worst enemy..... it has made me feel quite sad today .....

I cannot say I have been AF today. Hubs came home with some Guinness. Not an excuse I know - but enough of one for me. :upset:

Love and hugs to all, Sun XXX
