Good afternoon, Mr. Fox - happy to see you here today. Nice flower garden. :)

[Billie]

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dutchess; Aquamarine, and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

FRIZZ CITY in my case!!!!!!!!

The wind is really starting to kick up now (sustained over 20 and gusts of 40) but no rain ........ looking at the radar, it sure looks like I've dodged the bullet once again with the storms.

[Kitty Mittens]

Texas Hugs for (((((Billie)))))!

[Billie]

FRIZZ CITY in my case!!!!!!!!

You, too?!!!! I always wondered what it would be like to have sleek, straight, silky hair, which I can only get with the help of a large curling iron, but go outside when there's a little humidity, and it's all for naught. :)

[Billie]

Hi, Miss Kitty! Thank you for the hugs! Here's some back!

[Gabz]

don't get me started about sleek silky hair!!!! Grass is greener on the other side thing, you know?

OTOH I can curl my hair and it will hold it's curl for days!!!!

I saw your comment about it being quiet, I've been paying attention to the weather most of the day, in between cleaning the daughter's room and now I have to nice gentleman in her room constructing the loft bed they just delivered!!!! I'm also now watching the clock because the school bus will be here shortly!!!!! And of course hollering at the poor dogs I have locked in my bedroom!!!!

[xp38]

There is one place in the US that is like that sort of and that is Hawaii. You do get the occasional hurricane out there too but probably not as often as Florida. From what I hear the temperature range seldom drops below 60 or much above 80 for most of the year.

I read on the weekend thread where you'd bought new bedroom furniture for your daughter. Am sure you'll be glad when they leave and you can put the decorating touches on the roon. :)

[Billie]

I thought about Hawaii when I wrote that - have only been there once, and it was in the summer, but I remember the sand on the beach being so hot there was no way to walk barefoot (not to mention it was like an obstacle course with all the people stretched out on towels tanning themselves!) This was Waukiki Beach - we enjoyed Maui so much more! Quieter and prettier, much less crowded beaches!

[Gabz]

and you can put the decorating touches on the roon. :)

BWAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAA ROFL!!!!!!!!!

I haven't finished painting the windows or making the rest of the curtains!!!!!!!

The delivery guys left not 5 minutes before the school bus showed up - she is extatic over her new bed. Now if I could just get her calm enough to sit down and do her homework.........sigh

[GailA]

Well I gave out 36 Bush yard signs at our polling place today, we are electing a new mayor and 6 aldermen today.

[Billie]

BWAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAA ROFL!!!!!!!!!

I haven't finished painting the windows or making the rest of the curtains!!!!!!!

Okay, okay - so I'm getting a little bit ahead of things. (But if you think about it, painting the windows and making the rest of the curtains *IS* putting the decorating touches on it. Well, the curtains are anyway!) :)

[Billie]

Hi, Gail - I'm glad to see that many Bush/Cheney yard signs are still being picked up!

[Gabz]

SUPER JOB!!!!!!!!!!!

[dutchess]

Hi sistah Billie. Just getting here. Our ISP was down last night...then busy busy work day...sigh....

Can't believe the finest is over two years old...where does the time go?????

[Gabz]

We have old fashioned windows in this house, that need to be "restrung" and so it will be far easier to paint them after they have been removed - which is why they haven't been finished yet. Both windows in her room have valances on them (that match her bed set) and I was hoping to find bottom curtains to match, because the fabric I bought for the half curtains really doesn't match well. The set is Disney Princesses, the fabric is Tinker Bell.

Oh well, I guess it could be worse...............

[dutchess]

Hi gabz... Is hubby gone for his training????? Bet your little one is thrilled with the bed! How exciting for a child!

[Billie]

Can't believe the finest is over two years old...where does the time go?????

It's that old saying, you know.....:)

We're just having too much fun here. :)

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "restrung". ??????
