TGIF, Meekie.

I think our temps will get into the mid 70's today. We still have a few clouds hanging around. Hope the rain is over. :)



Happy Tuba Day!

[JustAmy]

Good morning, OESY. Thank you for the wonderful graphics honoring Military Spouses.



Happy Tuba Day!

Have a super weekend.

Thanks.

[JustAmy]

You, your aunt Dotty and your family are in our prayers.

Father, please hold Dotty in your loving embrace
as she fights to overcome the effects of this massive stroke.
Bless her family as they come to you for comfort.
We ask this in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Good morning, IA.

Hope you're having a dry Friday. Have a wonderful weekend.

Hello Ride the Whirlwind.

Prayers are being offered for your 20 year old and his surgeons.

Father, hear our prayers.

[Mama_Bear]

Another good one. It's always interesting to see what you come up with, NnB, for these strange images that I find.

Greetings from Soggyville. Rain, rain, go away.....PLEASE! Enough already.

In honor of Mother's Day... YOU MIGHT BE A MOM IF:

1. Your feet stick to the kitchen floor, and you don't care.

2. When the kids are fighting, you threaten to lock them in a room together and not let them out until someone's bleeding.

3. You can't find your cordless phone, so you ask a friend to call you, and you run around the house madly, following the sound until you locate the phone downstairs in the laundry basket. (I've actually done this with my cell phone..)

4. You spend an entire week wearing sweats.

5. Your idea of a good day is making it through without a child (or a child's pet) leaking bodily fluids on you.

6. Popsicles become a food staple.

7. Your favorite television show is a cartoon.

8. Peanut butter and jelly is eaten at least in one meal a day.

9. You're willing to kiss your child's boo-boo, regardless of where it is.

10. Your kids make jokes about bodily functions, and you think it's funny.

11. You're so desperate for adult conversation that you spill your guts to the telemarketer that calls...and HE hangs up on YOU!

12. Spit is your number one cleaning agent...(and the kids recoil at you cleaning their faces with spit on a kleenex but are willing to kiss the dog on the lips)

13. You buy cereal with marshmallows in it.

14. The closest you get to gourmet cooking is making Rice Krispie treats.

15. You're up each night until 10:00 P.M. vacuuming, dusting, wiping, washing, drying, loading, unloading, shopping, cooking, driving, flushing, ironing, sweeping, picking up, changing sheets, changing diapers, bathing, helping with homework, paying bills, budgeting, clipping coupons, folding clothes, putting to bed, dragging out of bed, brushing, chasing, buckling, feeding (them, not you), PLUS swinging, playing baseball, bike riding, pushing trucks, cuddling dolls, roller blading, basketball, football, catch, bubbles, sprinklers, slides, nature walks, coloring, crafts, jumping rope, PLUS raking, trimming, planting, edging, mowing, gardening, painting, and walking the dog. You get up at 5:30 AM and you have no time to eat, sleep, drink, or go to the bathroom, and yet...you still managed to gain 10 pounds!!!

Happy Mother's Day to all!

[JustAmy]

Thank you for more great pictures of our President and Vice President, Snugs.



Enjoy No Diet Day!



Go ahead, calories don't count today. :)

Good morning, MamaBear.

Today is No Diet Day!
Wanna go someplace for chocolate dessert?

PS: Check the URL of the above image. :)

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, does that ever look good! My favorite was the bananas dipped in the chocolate. What a great meal we had there!

In fact, I was so impressed with the place, I gave my son a gift certificate to The Melting Pot for his birthday.

I would have thought that this was a photo from our trip there with FReezie, but I see from the url you directed me to, it is not. These people got better photos than I did. LOL.

"No diet day".......I LIKE it!

[JustAmy]

Nice graphics, OESY.

Thank you!!

"You get up at 5:30 AM and you have no time to eat, sleep, drink, or go to the bathroom, and yet...you still managed to gain 10 pounds!!!"

LOL .... thanks, Silverleaf.
I can relate to 99.8 percent of those.

Last week I found an empty jar for caterpillers. I really thought they would die. Two days later we had chrysalis and this morning there were two butterflies in the jar. It was a good day.

Happy Mother's Day to you. Have a wonderful weekend.

Thanks for the "The Silent Ranks" Amy.

I just posted it on a site developed by our niece - an Army Wife serving alongside her husband in Ft. Carson, CO.

Military Spouses may not have formally taken the oath as those who serve, but they serve right alongside. Thanks
