JC, what lovely graphics, and beautiful quote! (((HUGS)))

[jaycee]

Whew~~~that one took my breath away and felt like my heart skipped a beat.....beautiful but very sad. Thank you, yorkie.

[jaycee]

Hi Conor, my Tuesday was fast and furious...LOL! I imagine like everyone else’s. Hope your Tuesday was nice. We’ve had
drizzly rain all day today.

The good old days? Love the graphic and poem, but makes me glad I have a dryer!! :) Thank you!!

[jaycee]

Thank you, yorkie. I saw your treasure chest and my treasure chest is full of memories so thought I’d post about memories.
Hope you’ve had a great day! ((((HUGS))))

Yep...that is EXACTLY what armadillos do...unless, of course, they are FROZEN.

[jaycee]

I’m glad I have a dryer but I will always remember the smell of clothes dried on the line. They’ll never capture that special scent in a can. But I loved the poem!

Beautiful graphic’s, Jaycee! Nice quote from The Wonder Years! That was a great show!! Thank you!

[jaycee]

No one can listen to that one without getting teary eyed.
That’s one of Alan’s best!

We've had cloudy skies all day but the rain has mostly stayed north and west of us. I haven't been on Facebook that much lately - it slows my computer down big time. I also don't much care for the recent changes,especially the ads. Hope all is going well with you!

I know - I cried when I watched the video, but not out of sadness, but out of loving memories, of those years behind me.

I'm dedicating this to you, Conor....enjoy!

Wine And Water Acrimony
By Anonymous

Said Wine to Water, So fine I be,
They carry me over both land and sea,
They call me both port and sherry,
I cause every heart to be merry,
I cause every heart to be merry.

Said Water to Wine, So useful I be,
No kitchen can do for a day without me.
For a week round I am toiling,
I am washing, I’m baking and boiling,
I am washing, I’m baking and boiling.

My "Remembering" song!

I'll Remember You - Elvis & Priscilla

Thank you so much, Yorkie! I'm enjoying a nice after-dinner glass of Cabernet as we speak!

I don’t get on Facebook too much either. I have a friend or two that I would swear they live on there. I mainly get on to see my grand children’s pictures! I do like that I can copy them and put them in my file.

Facebook does make too many changes and by the time I get used to it, they change it again. You can’t really carry on a conversation there. My son showed me how to send a private message if I needed to. Don’t think I’ve ever used it..LOL!

[ConorMacNessa]

I pop in briefly most days to keep up with numerous family members online. Birthdays, etc. The ads really torque me off!
