Hi Mom.. I did my share to help the economy today... Got my hair permed and cut, and then Dyan made me go to the Fabric store to help her pick out something to make window shades.. She of course found nothing but I found fabric for the dining room and my puter room.. Now I just need some good weather to sew..

After the fabric store we went to Kitchen's etc. and she talked me into getting the new Cuisinart I've been wanting..plus a feeeeew other things for her and I.. ;) Bought Devin a great big stuffed rubber rat.. I hope the dog doesn't get it.. He has one stuffed toy all over the back yard now.. He must be teething because he's chewing on everything.. He got her underwear and bathing suit last week.. lol I think he needs a muzzle.. He's so cute tho, and so good other than that, you can't yell at him..

She just told me today, that a week or so ago, she was walking the dog and had Devin and his friend with her and they weren't too far from the house and they came upon a Mountain Lion just ahead of them in the field.. He was sitting there and was very big. Definately a Mountan Lion.. She discribed him from the square shaped head and size and color.. Wow..

I told her to call someone.. That's a very lived in area.. She told the kids to be very quiet and luckily the dog or lion didn't see or smell each other and they backed slowly away.. They were very lucky.. We've heard of cats around here, but never lions. She has heard of no signs in her area of missing dogs or cats.. Maybe it was just passing thru... I hope so...

You are a grand shopper, getting yourself some great stuff and keeping the economy going....thats how I look at when I shop...got to keep those dollars flowing into the economy...we have a certain amount we set aside for bills, and savings, and retirement, and then the rest is for fun, and getting things you need or want...I dont believe in saving every last cent, tho some folks do...what good does all that money do me, just sitting around...well, it collects interest for sure, but thats it...

Some money must be just for pleasure...

I love fabric stores....when the boys were smaller and money was tighter than it is now, I alays sewed my own clothes, to save money, but also because I enjoyed it....to me, sewing is quite relaxing....

I bet you look all snappy now, with your new haircut and perm...

Thats scarey about that mountain lion, especially with children and pets around, and certainly they would be in danger....hope they can locate it, and move it to where it will not harm anyone....

pa lover de tucson. I'm just noticing this...for no really good reason.

Damm Gran - a mountain lion. I just heard about a black bear that plucked a baby girl from her stroller. Is it open season on little kids this summer? Something's wrong with this summer.

Back after constructing Pam' scotch & soda.
