Fencing is never done! :~D but it is pouring out. We want to go out and find fir trees of moveable size to dig up and move. I want to plant more evergreens between us and the trashy neighbors.... but digging in the mud makes the job less fun.

She wasn't just saying that you aren't enough woman to wear huge wimmin's clothes? ;-)

That *is* funny. I gotta go pick elf-boy up from school. Think I might rent a movie too. I saw Secondhand Lions at mom's house a few weeks ago, and I think PE would really get a kick out of it.

Well, if we manage to moot before the baby comes I will give you this dress. I think she's had her fun and since I wasn't sure of her purpose in the gift, I had the manners and decency to wear it.

It is a nice dress.

P.S. Could you save a "bite" of that roast for me? :-)

Be happy to! When can I expect you?

Ah! Rain didn't dawn on me. It's bright and sunny here now. Duh... I forget it doesn't go *everywhere*. :-)

That will be cool if you can just dig up the trees and move them. Do ya'll have hackberry trees up there? They are my worst enemy here. Seems like I spend days every year getting rid of hackberry growth. They come up anywhere you don't mow... like fencelines.

I don't know what all was said. What I heard I got from Celia and one student. But, no matter. She is just one of those people who are like that.

But, can you imagine the fur that would fly if I were to say something about her size? I mean, I wouldn't, but if I did.....

Actually, the sun is everywhere, if you can climb high enough... ;~D

As long as we water the heck out of moved trees this summer, we can move fairly good sized ones.

I've been wanting to see Secondhand Lions! Now, I've heard so many people talk about it I *really* want to see it. Don't know when I'll ever get around to renting it though. Seems like I forget that sort of thing now that there's not a teenager in the house asking to rent something every few days. :-)

Always good to take the higher road... Does make it easier to look down on people from up there but we just resist that now don't we :D

You are *not* a beached whale!!!

Okay, I do remember what it feels like to *think* that! But, still, you are not. :-)

The way it was said, it woulda been fighting words, if it was worth fighting. But, it's not.
