What a nice thank you to everyone, Amy! That took a little time and I thank you!

[jaycee]

Billie, that comment was funny! Me, too, its just identical to what I walk out to every morning. Dream, when you’re feeling blue....la ta de la!

[jaycee]

Good Celebrations today, Amy!

I have to run some errands. Everything is running slow here. My posting is so slow.....hope its not my computer, don’t think so.

Later!

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Jaycee.

I’ve been running slow and stalling .... oops .... I meant my computer but I guess it could also apply to me. LOL

Anyway... I think I will reboot to see which of us it is. :)

I’ll be back.

[Billie]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Amy! Gimme that White Chocolate Cheesecake - and if that’s not enough, I’ll take the ice cream cone, too. :)

[Billie]

Isn't he a cutie?! I love smileys, and especially those that 'do' something! :) However, this season is also the one that gives my hayfever fits. :(

[Billie]

Well, if it's *your* computers, it's contagious 'cause mine's got it, too. :(

September

We sit late, watching the dark slowly unfold: No clock counts this. When kisses are repeated and the arms hold There is no telling where time is. It is midsummer: the leaves hang big and still: Behind the eye a star, Under the silk of the wrist a sea, tell Time is nowhere. We stand; leaves have not timed the summer. No clock now needs Tell we have only what we remember: Minutes uproaring with our heads Like an unfortunate King's and his Queen's When the senseless mob rules; And quietly the trees casting their crowns Into the pools. Ted Hughes

They are all doing well..The bad boys TRubble and Sassy are being..bad..They were my best buddies from when I stayed with my daughter and helped them survive being abandoned as kittens.I share the blame for their getting into trouble.
;o)
The litter box cleaning is constant it seems.....We have three.
I am enjoying my old “buddies”.

Mornin' everyone.

SIL's race day on Saturday was a sight to behold. The first race was on the 1/4 mile oval track. He developed a fuel problem and finished toward the back of the pack. That left the season total score tied between Rich and driver #2. Driver #3 was closing in on points.

The second race was on the 1.1 mile road course. Rich captured the lead early and took the checkered flag for the race and the season championship.

Here he receives congratulations from his #1 fan...

On “Dear Diary Day”, this quote comes to mind from a very famous diary:

“It’s difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It’s a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.”

Since posting that recipe, I’ve been craving chocolate.

I’m trying to lose some weight and all of these food holidays are not helping. ;^ )

[Majie Purple]

Beau...Ahroooo...tiful opener!

[JustAmy]

I gave both of us a rest and it didn’t seem to help.

Oh well, I got a couple of things taken care of.

[Majie Purple]

Thanks for not ...Leaf...ing me of the Thanks graphic.

Happy Monday, LadyJ.
Thank you for the pretty graphic and "September".

I am enjoying these beautiful days and dreading the foggy days of winter.

Have a Marvelous Monday.
