By the way, I did the openings this morning. Well, I did them last night and transferred today....LOL! Know what I mean!

[MEG33]

Good job!..I love your beautiful rose, too. Thank you for hostessing today!

Grandson called last night to say I love you before he deployed.

[jaycee]

That was so sweet of your grandson, Meg. It brings tears to my eyes this morning. And I will talk to you later.

isn’t it funny—sometimes I wake up with a story or poem almost fully formed in my head, needing only minor details to make it work. Sometimes though... LOL

Happy FRYday, Meg! JC did all the work from the RIGHT Coast this morning, as she rises 3 hours earlier than I do, on the LEFT Coast!

I’m going to fix tortilla strips this morning. The problem is, you can’t stop with ONE! LOL

[MEG33]

Of course you can’t!

Don't forget to wear RED today!
Support the Troops!

jaycee, what a gorgeous Red Friday opening - and the work you did on that pledge that follows this beautiful red rose on that scroll-y background! I am so proud of you for sticking with the table backgrounds and colored text and all the foreign language (html codes) stuff! You go, girl!

[yorkie]

Thank you, JC, for opening this morning! You did all the work, while I was sawing logs! LOL! (Good job, btw!)
