Great find and great link, OESY.

Thank you. Glenn Miller Orchestra was awesome.

[JustAmy]

Happy weekend, Meg.

What a cute little guy. No wonder you feed them. Thank you for sharing that adorable picture.

Hi Dita

I’m enjoying all the wonderful links.

Bought a swimming pool, 13’ by 42”, last week. Now trying to persuade someone to put it up. LOL

Noone wants to go out in our dirty air. This smoky haze is causing all kinds of breathing problems.

Marissa has one more week of swim lessons. After that, another of the local churches is having morning VBS, so I may send her there for a week. She enjoys it and it will give her something to do.

A little background on Kipling and Riley:

I always loved VBS too!! It was a different way of going to church:-)

The swimming pool will be so much fun when you get it put up.

So sorry you and so many throughout California have to put up with the hot, smokey, ashy air. We are being spared L.A. County on down this time, but we KNOW what it is like!!

I put another song in that link, not Johnny Cash...heehee.

Ah - Taylor Swift huh - you sneaky thing, you! LOL See, I'm on dialup and I don't click on many You Tubes because I can't view them without first downloading them and then opening them on my pc. It's at the very least a 30 minute download for any normal-length You-Tube song/video, and unless I know it's really, really special, I don't ever click on them.

The same with the Power Point Presentations. As beautiful as all the first graphics are, I don't try to open them. :(

[La Enchiladita]

I wasn’t paying attention; I’ve done that before.
I forget you’re on dial-up!!!

[La Enchiladita]

See yas all later...

[Billie]

I like Gladys Knight “Midnight Train to Georgia” too, enjoying now.

Yeah! And it really is Gladys Knight, and it really is Midnight Train to Georgia. LOL

[OESY]

Paul's Bunion ... oh, never mind.

I am surprised to hear that Billie. I did not think anyone was on dialup anymore. Do you live out in the countryside with no ADSL or cable?

[OESY]

Two of my favorites by Kipling and Riley. Thanks.

[Cardhu]

Oooooh! My wife had one of those, not as bad as that though but she was very brave and eventually had it removed. Cut right thru the bone after suffering with her shoes all those years.

[Billie]

Yes, we actually have Dish satellite TV, but high speed internet isn’t available with it. Go figure. We’re out of reach of cable service.

[Lady Jag]

I compress all my graphics in consideration of those on dialup. We have visitors from all over the world and with U.S. being the furthest behind all other countries in internet speed, I often wonder how many are stuck with dialup.

Anyone know?

[Billie]

I’m worse than a kid about being close and waving to the engineer!

:) I still find myself watching for that wave when I'm stopped at a RR crossing. :)

[Billie]

I love that ‘blue’ tinted picture! It’s so pretty.

[Lady Jag]

OH NO!

That must KILL!
