The work week is over. Ended and Past
It is time to open your heart and soul
To the splendid beauty around you at last

The soothing color and quiet of the sky
Beckons a presence greater than you or I
Untouched by clouds to catch the eye
Above a sea wide and tranquil and still

The heart is moved by what Man cannot create
While a faded and bleached white Sanctuary
Tempts you closer to open the gate
To offer thoughts too profound to relate

The time is yours to spend and ponder
The mystery that is your life and wonder
There were others before not much different than you
Who built this Sanctuary under a sky of blue

Hi everyone.

Sorry to hear about your puter problems, Amy. I know the feeling – last year I was having awful troubles with my puter all the time. I know yours is a bit different because it involves your satellite and fotki. Hope they solve the problem soon.

Happy Chocolate Pudding Day, all.

I love chocolate pudding. :-)

Hi warsaw. Sorry I missed ya, too.

Hope to see you around soon. Nice collection, btw.

Howdy Mayor.

[The Mayor]

Hi.. I love chocolate pudding too, with cool whip on top...

[Victoria Delsoul]

Me too. Hope you're enjoying your Sunday.

[The Mayor]

Yes, we spent the day at a craft show and did alot of campaigning..
Things are looking real good!

[Victoria Delsoul]

So glad to hear that. I was just going to ask you about your campaign. I think you got a good chance there, Mayor.

I was just reading a bit before making dinner. I still have to get ready for tomorrow's class, but I should be back a bit later.

[The Mayor]

Thanks Victoria, we are having a big effect here in Erie County.
Albany is next..

[OESY]

I say, "Enough on food." I'm getting fat on all these eclairs, puddings and parfaits.

To change the subject, here's an e-mail just in that I can't use except to share:



Signs of Menopause

1. You sell your home heating system at a yard sale.

2. Your husband jokes that instead of buying a wood stove, he is using you to heat the family room this winter. Rather than just saying you are not amused, you shoot him.

3. You have to write post-it notes with your kids' names on them.

4. The Phenobarbital dose that wiped out the Heaven's Gate Cult gives you four hours of decent rest.

5. You change your underwear after every sneeze.

6. You're on so much estrogen that you take your Brownie troop on a field trip to Chippendale's.

[OESY]

Actually, my last e-mail was meant for everyone, not just Victoria, so here's another e-mail just in today. It's my second chance.



Deer Tick Warning!

We will soon be coming into the Summer, so BEWARE !!!! I hate it when
people forward bogus warnings...but this one is real, and it's important.

So please send this warning to everyone on your e-mail list:

If someone comes to your front door saying they are conducting a
survey on deer ticks and asks you to take your clothes off and dance
around with your arms up, WARNING: DO NOT DO IT!! IT IS A SCAM.
They only want to see you naked.

I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid now.

[Alberta's Child]

Thanks for the ping, Victoria -- hope you've had a great weekend.

Who's bringing the chocolate pudding?!

[JustAmy]

One more, before we quit with the chocolate pudding ....



Happy Chocolate Pudding Cake Day!
