I was doing some more photo stuff on the computer last night....loading some pics and arranging and rearranging some albums. After about an hour, I got tired of doing that and thought I'd take a break for awhile. I started playing around with one of the photo editing programs and found a feature I'd not known about before.....funny what things lurk hidden away, until you...

Yesterday, I had contact with a friend of mine, that I hadn't seen for awhile. We had gone through school together, from Kindergarten to graduating Seniors. Coming from a small, midwest, rural town our school was small, maybe even tiny, by most of your standards. We had 48 in our graduating class. Needless to say, we all knew each other pretty well and for the...

That picture is SO amazing... and let's not talk about age.. cause i wasn't even born til 82! But you look very handsome 
darklis:
Thanks. Hot is always a good word, unless it means like touching a stove. I really have come to love you all. In my regular life, if I have something I need to know or do, I think "What would my SG friends do?" Maybe that means I have zero life, or maybe it means you are a cool bunch of people. 
It's cool and damp here this morning, with a little drizzle in the air. I'm on my second mug of coffee as I contemplate the events of the day. Monday's are always clean up days for me.....laundry, cleaning the house, errands, etc.
Had a nice leisurely Sunday.....and even had time for a nap in the afternoon. Unfortunately, the nap seemed to have ruined my nights...

Hi Sabre!
Your Thanksgiving plans sound like fun. I don't think that I am going to celebrate the holiday this year. It's time and 1/2 at work, so I will probably be stocking shelves and helping customers with the flu and cold remedies.
If you are having 15 people for turkey, how big will the turkey have to be?
I'll bet your spread will be amazing and scrumptious. I know how you love food and entertaining, too.
Thinking about you,
Rose

Thanks. babe. I think you're awesome too. In fact I love all my SG friends. They make the bad go away.
My week, has been and continues to be so plain and unassuming that I'm having a hard time coming up with anything of any interest to write about......please forgive me! 
Until I have something I deem worthwhile to say.....
Have a great weekend!

My week has been pretty uneventful, too. I have to dig deep to find anything to write at all. (see boot story as an example).
I just wanted to say hi, though I am feeling kindof boring tonight.
I hope that the rest of your weekend is aabsolutely thrilling.

you have a great weekend too... what's left of it. I seem to be falling behind with my fun on SG... always playing catch up... that's a sign that i may actually be doing some work. damn.
Well, well, well.......it's Thursday already.....
This week has been somewhat mundane....
I listened to alot of good music last night, as I downloaded more of my favorite CD's onto the computer. I've been doing several photo slide shows for friends and relatives lately and needed some more/new music selections to choose from for background to the slide shows. Digging through CD's is kind of fun,...

You're sweet. Why didn't you say "son of a diddly" Like Ned Flanders?
Wednesday.....Hump Day.....a nondescript day, except for the fact that it's now mid-week and thoughts begin to turn toward the weekend......how I love a good Wedneday!
All the big outside yard type jobs around the house are done, in anticipation of the weather change toward winter. Mowed the yard, chewing up 4 acres of leaves, yesterday. The wind from the south has moved all the leaves...

My ISP has been giving me fits again......bad connection, slow speeds....no connection....intermitant service at best and I'm paying for a premium broadband service....
Sabre is not happy to say the least. Tomorrow the ISP is going to get a call and I'm going to get a few things off of my chest with them. Unfortunately, they are the only broadband game in town....so I'm kind...

Reatail. Grrrr. It's lucky I'm good natured, but people constantly take advantage of that. 
Of course you can be one of my crushes. I'm smitten with all of you.

AHHH....Sunday.....a day to relax just a little and do some things just for the enjoyment of them.
ON THE STOVE AT 9AM:
A big pot of pinto beans....simmering along nicely. Nestled deep inside the pot and snuggled in under the beans, 3 huge, smoked, cured ham shanks. 3 full hours for the beans and ham shanks to cook....their flavors intermingling with each other. Yes folks,...

You have no idea how hungry that has made me.
darklis:
Ha. I never remember it's not healthy to be in there too long, until it's too late.
Luckily, the news from the Dr. to my Mother was not all bad and they have more tests to do before they know the whole picture. She's had alot of health problems the last couple of years, but continues to have a positive, upbeat outlook. Such a strong beautiful woman.

thanks Sabre! That dog is beautiful. I've spent the morning procrastinating and taking digital videos of my cat fetching. I'm not even kidding. you throw her ball and she races after it... bringing it back in her mouth... still running and then repeats this process until she is panting. i didn't even know cats panted.
rosemarie:
Oh "Schatze". My grandpa was a cattle rancher and he would walk me out into the fields. He would show me the new calves, and I would pick the cutest one and name it. He would send me Polariods of the cow and would mark things on pencil on the back like "Schlatze's getting big. Soon she'll be a real heifer!" Things like that. Yes, I have always thought that Schatze was a beautiful name.
That is a beautiful dog. I am sad that she is no longer with you.
I am so glad that your mom is okay. It sounds like you may have gotten your positive outlook on life and appreciation of things from her.
Kisses to you both,
Rosie the cowgurl.

I'll be gone most of the day. I'm taking my elderly Mother to Des Moines for an appointment with a kidney specialist....we're hoping the news is not to bad.
I'll try to update my journal later today or tonight.
IT'S THURSDAY!

I hope that you had many things to laugh and smile about today, too.
Lucky you, with the sattelite TV! I would never get anything done, though, I would not be able to finish the duck decoy project or even cook dinner, I would be watching every forensic show that exists. I admire your self-control.

Oh, yeah, you never told me what your theory was/is.
I'm going to try an experiment and test out a theory that I have.....I hope my theory is wrong....but we'll see....
Have a great Monday!

Hi
It is so good to be back home (by home, I mean SG ).
Thank you again for your e-mail and the beautiful photos. They really helped to cheer me up!
I have to get ready to run off to work now, but I wanted to say good morning and I hope that you are well. I will have to go back and read your journals when I get home, to find out what all I have missed.
Much love,
Rose
