Oh no. I can send the link to Mama_Bear if you want.

[WVNan]

yummy, I love Butterscotch. I’ll have to try that one.

[Mama_Bear]

Amy, what are you doing??? You are killing my diet! First Coconut Cream Pie and now Butterscotch Brownies. Two of my favorite things! I am gaining weight just looking at them. :-(

Actually, I might try the butterscotch brownie recipe. It really does look good and easy too.

[WVNan]

Hi MB. I e-mailed a “sock” game to you, so you can link it here. I sent it to Amy, but she’s having e-mail problems. It’s a cute game and Em loves to play it.

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, no......I never got it. I get other mail that you send me, but I didn’t get that one. :-(

[The Mayor]

Cute picture! : ) Thanks.

Coconut cream pie and blonde brownies?! Oh wait—you said butterscotch! I’ll take either one!

Where do lost socks go?

Tomorrow should see it winding down and I’ll have more time to yak!

Y’all have a great Mother’s Day!

[WVNan]

Keep checking. It hasn’t been long since I sent it and sometimes it takes awhile to go across country.

[JustAmy]

The e-mail finally arrived but I have not been able to get the link to work.

The site must be down. I will try it later.

[WVNan]

Oh well, I guess that one was not supposed to go.

[JustAmy]

It will be good to have you back. We’ve missed you.

Happy Mother’s Day to you, too.

[JustAmy]

I can get to the site but I cannot get the Socks to open.

Could be busy since the is Lost Socks Day.

[MEG33]

It’s a treat for all of us that you love to play and make beautiful graphics..

I always worry about this too. One time last spring, my daughter was in the front yard. A car going by, slowed down a bit, was beeping and waving. Driver didn’t see me right away. We didn’t know this person. Made me very nervous to say the least.

I shouldn’t have taken that nap. It just made me groggy. ;)

[GodBlessUSA]

Brownies, Yum! :)

[gardengirl]

Thanks! I’ve missed you guys, too, but there’s only one of me. sigh. This time of year I could use a dozen or so!

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Meg. Thank you!
What a pretty place to run barefoot!

Have a beautiful Weekend and a Happy Mother's Day!

Marissa’s father has not seen her since she was an infant. It was quite upsetting when this man called telling me he was her grandfather.

He said he wanted to get to know her so she would feel comfortable going someplace with him. I told him she was not leaving my place without a court order. I bluffed him a little ... told him I had guardianship over her. Her Mom did sign papers that I was authorized to make all medical and legal decisions.

For almost a year after he stopped calling, I worried everytime a strange car drove by kinda slow.

I think he decided it wasn’t worth the fight he would get from me.
