"a lot cooler than AMY I guess????"

Fresno is hot but it is a dry heat. HA HA.
Humidity right now is 37% with 93 degrees.

It is going to be hell at the rally tonight.

Hope you have a cool, red FRiday. :)

Amy, what was your e-mail addy? Was it laCoat...? I have so many addys I forget who is who. I have something I need posted, and Lori is probably still in Alaska.

LOVE the Hat..LOL

[DollyCali]

your far vision is okay? that is my trouble..myopia. Close up in great. If I had my druthers I would change it around.

Here we have a store that has a HUGE amount of closeouts. The expensive reading glasses are about a dollar..these are the ones that would normally be 30+ and always a lot in stock. People consequently don't take care of them..Constant joke about needing to get more "marc's glasses".

Of course if some needs special adjustments for astigmatism etc. they are out of luck...

Elegant!

Why I think getting old and the need of glasses is a whoopee I have no idea. ;-)

Amazing how our perspective changes on things isn't it??? I would love to wake up w/o a bad back one day.. that would be a whoopie for sure.. 40 years ago, would have never thought something like that would be exciting..

Happy Red Friday, Billie.
Thank you for bringing us a place to strut our stuff and support the troops.

Good morning, Nan
You have freepmail.

[MEG33]

Lovely, tjm and so is your Marine!

[WVNan]

Miss Dolly, you thank God for that Myopia. As they grow older most people's arms are simply not long enough, and they can't see a thing close up, like threading a needle or removing a splinter, etc. But for us Myopics all we have to do is take off the glasses that help us to see at a distance and we can read the tiniest print and thread that needle. I am so thankful that I'm not far-sighted. I love being able to read the small print.

[WVNan]

Thanks Amy. Incoming soon.

Have a Beautiful Day Everyone!

Maggie's husband, Bernie, had told me on the phone last week that he was sending a box. I thought it would just be a box with the Sisters Music Box that I had sent her. The box came and it was filled with things "Maggie". The music box, another trinket box. wind chimes, angel, pin, bookmark, one of her scarfs, and in the bottom of the box a large package. I unwrapped it and there was the most beautiful afghan I've ever seen. Pink (my favorite color in spite of Code Pink) and white, with a white cross stitched into one corner.

I knew that Bernie had crocheted it, but he told me that Maggie supervised every stitch, making him unravel it when he made the tiniest mistake. He said usually it takes him a couple of weeks to make an afghan, but this one took longer because Maggie kept making him unravel it. He would tell her, "nobody will notice it." To which she said, "I did".

You will see the finished product when Amy posts the pictures. My heart just burst with joy and comfort when I pick it up. What a treasure. I feel so humbled. Thank God for my Sistah.

[WVNan]

Beautiful Kitty. Love pink roses.

[JustAmy]

Oh Nan

I hope you find the picture so I can post it for you.

[WVNan]

I just e-mailed two of them to you. At least I think I did.
