How's your Mum doing? This am, trudging to the bus stop, it was -5, with the wind chill .. 4 degrees without .. LOL... some difference, huh? Talk about looking like a Sumo wrestler .. covered in many layers and things. Just now really finally thawed out.
They played a comment of Rummy's from his John Hopkins speech today at the end of Brit's show tonight .. he was cute. I could watch him speak for hours .. he's SO fascinating. And Ms. Condi was sure coming on strong today, from what I've read .. she's one tough and amazing woman .. just what we need to shake up the global libs. I would love that gorgeous long coat she wore today .. except with a fur lined hood .. LOL.
Hi snugs. I'm so grateful to see another Limited Edition of our Dose. Thank you for your diligence.
That first picture -- W looks as though he's talking to the Dosers.
WHOA!!!! A cowboy hat picture.....one of my favorites!
Thanks, Fudd Fan.
naaah, just a reflex when he sees a camera.
I remember when Redford was young. Who would have thought that he would age so poorly!
I have seen Tina Turner life several times & she puts on an extra ordinary show.. So vital.. she never stops shaking & moving (is was only a few years ago I saw it the last time).. I love her music..
I also like Redford professionally.. politically... well, another story. He has had a few bombs movie wise but mostly I have enjoyed his work & think he is a very handsome man. His smile melts one. I respect the fact he has NOT go for any cosmetic surgery despite the fact most men in Hollywood of his age have. His face is now a road map of sorts. he also has been true to his marriage & it is a long term one with a fine woman. I do adore suzanne Farrell.. wonder if she stayed over for the Nutcracker..
I saw Julie Harris in the lobby at an off-Broadway performance a couple of years ago. She really IS short!!
When she fell she hit her head on the plaster on her arm so she is likely to have a black eye in a couple of days.
By the way I made a port and rabbit casserole on Sunday and took some of that into her and she really enjoyed that.
Dad had his pre cardioversion appointment at the hospital which advises patients what will happen etc. Tomorrow he has a biopsy on a nasty place on his ankle.
I will post a photo I took of mum today in a few minutes
Did y'all see this? It was in a Pakistani textbook and they had to take it out. It's a good poem :)
It is a nice photo did you see my second freep mail with further explanation regarding the parcel?
Ain't that the truth~!!
