Hi to alla yunz! OMG, this weather is unbelievable! Last fall we sprayed grass killer on all our front lawn, waited 4 weeks (yes, it looked awful) and rented a seeder and seeded it. Then, while KISA was at work every day, I watered it. We now have the lushest lawn, but it was 9" tall and I had to push mow it (and bag it). That was 2 or 3 days ago and it needs done again already. I think we are going to call ChemLawn or some other company to come in and treat it to keep the weeds from taking over again. We are very rural, just 17 lots on what used to be a big farm, so keeping weed seeds out is a little tougher than in the city. I just thank God that I feel well enough to go out and push mow (though KISA was angry with me when he came home from work and I was still red...LOL...Opie was here and was begging me to let him do it but I wanted the exercise.

Doreen366ML, you are really finding some good old stuff. I remember those ash trays with the cork bottom. That's what they used in bars, and the dorms. And the big square thing, well, I think that was just a decorative piece that would have been on someone's coffee table in the 60s. Pretty cool. Speaking of Zippo, they were made in Bradford, PA, not far from where I was born. 🙂

inmax and mim, Okay, I'm still trying to lose weight so stop it with the cookie talk. Or can you just whisper when you talk about them? I lost 20 pounds right off the bat...a year ago, on Weight Watchers. Now I can't lose 15 more FOR NOTHING!! My family is getting sick of eating what I want to eat/cook, so they are all cheating. I find pizza boxes in the trash and ice cream gallons in the freezer but I am sticking with it, to no avail. I am determined that it's coming off before June!! I will start walking more now that summer is here. (I know winter just officially ended yesterday but it was 87 here today, broke records.) All our trees are blooming, tulips are up and one of the 120 is blooming.

inmax, the golf trip is closing in on us, I think they leave Sunday. I will still have Opie here with me for the week, he has (college) classes that week so couldn't go this year, and for the first couple days I will be helping oldest son & wife and will have the (2) grandsons. Lord, give me energy for those 3 days. 🙂

A few years ago, our jsan was amazed at my Blackberry. Now I have an iPhone. ROFL It even has a cloud. What next...your phone has a cloud? I am having an extra hard time with it because of the touch screen and my nails. I know the nails are going to have to go but I'm just not ready for that yet.

ginnyrose_Carol, good to see you here, you have always been so kind and helpful. You are a sweetie.

Doreen, I did so good yesterday when Hines had his press conference. I didn't shed a tear but I sure was full of pride, so glad we had him for 14 years and he is retiring black and gold. Am curious to know if he sells his house by you. For some odd reason, I want him to keep it, just so he still seems "connected".

drs-t, a special howdy to you! I am slowly getting email addys put in my iphone, got you in there but still have a long way to go. (Got past the "Ds" and into the "Es". In two days. 😉

Great to see all of you.
