Ahhhh-Silver and oaroll...you brought tears to my eyes...thanks cc and right back at ya...okay luv--when I write the book I'll send you a signed copy...

Beautiful day here and people are bailing out of supporting my Bingo Friday left and right -- woo hoo!!!!

Well, catching up on the weekend activities here has really brightened my day! D, you should write a book!! Your stories are hilarious and you write so well, that you can just picture the events in your mind. We've never done the "pee in a cup" thing, but there are many cornfields that my son has visited in emergency situations. I guess that's an advantage to living in a mostly rural area-lots of side roads and cornfields for those little bladders.

That's very sweet, Silver! I know you'll save that list forever.

I just got this via email and thought of all my beautiful friends here on page two......

BEAUTY TIPS

FOR ATTRACTIVE LIPS SPEAK WORDS OF KINDNESS.

FOR LOVELY EYES, SEEK OUT THE GOOD IN PEOPLE.

FOR A SLIM FIGURE, SHARE YOUR FOOD WITH THE HUNGRY.

FOR BEAUTIFUL HAIR, LET A CHILD RUN HIS OR HER FINGERS THROUGH IT ONCE A DAY.

FOR POISE, WALK WITH THE KNOWLEDGE YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE.

PEOPLE EVEN MORE THAN THINGS HAVE TO BE RESTORED, RENEWED, REVIVED, RECLAIMED, AND REDEEMED; NEVER THROW OUT ANYBODY.

REMEMBER, IF YOU NEED A HELPING HAND, YOU'LL FIND ONE AT THE OTHER END OF YOUR ARM.

AS YOU GROW OLDER, YOU'LL DISCOVER THAT YOU HAVE TWO HANDS, ONE FOR HELPING YOURSELF, THE OTHER FOR HELPING OTHERS.

THE BEAUTY OF A WOMAN IS NOT IN THE CLOTHES SHE WEARS, THE FIGURE THAT SHE CARRIES, OR THE WAY SHE COMBS HER HAIR. THE BEAUTY OF A WOMAN MUST BE SEEN THROUGH HER EYES,BECAUSE THAT IS THE DOORWAY TO HER HEART, THE PLACE WHERE LOVE RESIDES.

THE BEAUTY OF A WOMAN IS NOT IN A FACIAL MOLE, BUT TRUE BEAUTY IN A WOMAN IS REFLECTED IN HER SOUL. IT IS THE CARING THAT SHE LOVINGLY GIVES, THE PASSION THAT SHE SHOWS, AND THE BEAUTY OF A WOMAN WITH PASSING YEARS ONLY GROWS.

Happy Belated Mother's Day everyone! Sounds like many had great days. My kids made a shopping list and rounded Dad up for a morning of shopping. Here's the list written by the kids (even had illistrations):

I hope everyone had a beautiful Mother's Day!! Mine was a lot of fun...relaxing, putt-putt, ice cream for dinner and I got a HUGE banner hung up in our front windows!

Now, more coffee and back to the daily grind.

Thanks for the greeting, Shawn! It was lovely!!
