Hi Conor, things are going better. I lost my monitor about 5 days ago and we ordered one as they didn’t have the one we wanted in stock. I am temporarily using one that my son hooked up until mine comes in! I sure missed being locked out from the world...LOL!
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
“That Meat Pie sounds absolutely wonderful!”
It is, and glad I am to share it. Sorry I wasn’t here to serve you all personally, I was snoring contentedly away having stayed up until all hours of the morning writing. Tomorrow I ought to be around to share the day with you, which will e nice.
Wish you were serving the Meat Pie for dinner tonight...I could sure use that now! I’m trying to figure out what I’m having tonight. It may be spaghetti as I made the sauce Monday and have left over so it will be easy to warm up! Its better left over anyway!
LOL
The second picture here today that made me smile. Brought to mind Freddy the Pig books. Boys especially seem to like them.
*grin*
It was cute!
Its a teacup Pomeranian!
This was cute and FUNNY, teenie!
Could we do some over-throwing, Luv? LOL! I hate the things they are doing! Michelle wants to tell us what to eat and it looks like they will tax the foods they think are bad for us. And by the way, she thinks Twitter and Facebook are such a waste of time! And on the other hand, some say that Twitter and Facebook helped the Egyptians with their ‘over-throw’....well, tsk, tsk, tsk!!
Well, whatever it turns out to be, it’s adorable! :)
Enjoy it!
I did....and I am!!! :)
"No posting after the fact"!
I say...if you want to...go ahead and post them! :)
Just deciding on a menu is a full time job!
BTW....could you offer a Monte Cristo on an upcoming menu, please? :)
I had totally forgotten about Freddy! Thanks for the reminder!
Was the weather gorgeous?
We have yukky cold wind and rain! :(
LOL! I had told yorkie when I did get back online, I was going to post Valentines!
Monte Cristo it is, a favorite!
Great, thanks for the ping.

The Perfect Present
I needed to hear from my daughter one last time.
By Marjorie Taylor, Monroeville, Pennsylvania
Normally, I loved birthdays. When my son and three daughters were little, my husband, Charles, and I always made sure to have dinner, followed by a big cake and presents. Later, when the kids were grown and living in different states, they always called to wish me a happy birthday. But this year I could have skipped the whole day, knowing there was one call I wouldn’t be receiving, from my daughter Patty. She’d passed away unexpectedly just a month before. I was devastated. The one small comfort I had was a voicemail that she’d left on my cell phone the night before she died, telling me she loved me.
Over the following days I listened to her message over and over again, clinging to the last words she said: “I love you very, very much, Mom.”
Then, a couple of weeks before my birthday, while I was doing laundry, I accidentally dropped my phone in the washing machine. Quickly I pulled it out and dried it off, but when I checked voicemail, Patty’s message was gone. I sobbed, heartbroken. Day after day I kept checking my voicemail, hoping Patty’s message would reappear. It never did.
All I wanted for my birthday was to hear Patty’s voice again. But the cell phone manual said erased voicemails couldn’t be retrieved. “I know you don’t feel like celebrating,” Charles said the day of my birthday, “but let’s go out for dinner and a movie. It might help take your mind off things.”
Charles was right. I turned off my phone, settled into my seat in the movie theater and let the film take me away. But the minute it ended I started thinking about Patty again. As we were walking out of the theater, I turned on my phone. It chimed, signaling I’d gotten a voicemail. Probably just my youngest daughter, Leslie, calling to wish me a happy birthday, I thought.
I dialed up voicemail and the message began. It was Patty’s voice, clear as a bell, saying again, “I love you very, very much, Mom.”
I hate to tell you (not really) that it was gorgeous here! :)
Sorry you had rainy and icky...I would LOVE to have a nice rainy day!...without the cold and yukky!
