    Hi gals! It is really raining here! So can't plant my pretty petunias....

    Thanks Rosie & Loverly! It's like for all the bad things that happen lately, something is good, right around the corner.... ! Having Lesa come back, after over 4 years, was kind of like a miracle... We talked a lot about her Mom, and how their life was growing up... I can't believe what a well-balanced gal she became, considering what went on with them....

    She came to see me for Mother's Day.... brought me some little "cards" she makes out of pictures of her flowers... Some fresh corn she has grown, blanched, and frozen.... AND a beautiful card!

    She said ... "Jeannette.... Thank you so much for spending time w/me today. Your love, influence and compassion have been w/me since I was little.

    It's hard to express how much you are a part of who I am today. Through your example, the unconditional love and acceptance I have found love and acceptance for myself. You will always be in my heart!

    Thank You! Love Lesa...." Awwwwwww....

    And we talked about horrible things that have happened in both or our lives, that made us so grateful for who we have become..... So I'll be thinking of her when we go to the funeral tomorrow....

    And then I'll go see Carol Friday, after I have lunch with Sheilah.... my Daughter's X MIL.... We have to hang onto our "friends".... They sometmes mean more to us than our "in-laws"..... Ha!

    Sas, handsome boy. Congrats on your son's accomplishment.

    Jazzy, did you take that picture of the lightning?

    Rose, can't wait to see the picture.

    Ms.Chevy, to echo what Rose had already mentioned,you have sown the seed of love and now you get to see and enjoy the harvest of your labor. I am learning that building relationships is one of the most important things in life.

    hi on kindle.....

    Chevy. So sweet about Lesa, her words truly say how much thought went into thinking about her time with you. Bless you.

    Jazzy thanks I'm jazzed lol. Susieq you got audio and video-- oh jealous. I hope to be able to go to the archives and pick it up. Patty hope you picked up audio :). Chevy thanks for posting the link. All things are difficult with kindle.

    I posted DS graduation pic. I was happy he wore the hat right. Many of the law grads wore it goofy. Some of the group shots are hilarious.

    You will all laugh at mom... I was walking around with the Kindle.... audio was loudest in the new bathroom. Noise/audio was amplified off the tile counter and walls. I set up a chair, coffee pot etc. In the bathroom to listen. Think of the silliness or irony. A benchmark moment in his life that I savored sitting in the bathroom.

    Talking with him after was special. I had listened to a man that articulated well. Kept his presence of mind under pressure. Was impressively respectful of the court. And he was happy to hear mom's atta boy. Our kids are always a bit of our wee ones.

    Loveroflife- no, someone else in town took that photo. It was on FB this morning. One of the best I have seen because it got the whole panorma, the cloud height, the clouds and that thunderbolt. The skies out here are incredible when it comes to weather.

    Just had another T-storm. We will be building the ARK soon. I will have to head north and pick up Chevy......

    Ok I won't even ask why there is an enormously gigantic pair of undies in the post above... hmm. Being rather delayed in the tech department, I have happily managed to figure out how to send a dropbox file with photos we took of the Crystal Rhododenderon Garden, in Portland, Oregon - with MAJOR help from DH! I wanted to share these photos since they were so lovely and the baby Canada gosslings and pintailed ducklings to die for CUTE! So here is the link enjoy! A walk through the garden (((Hugs))) to all!

    Spookie, hmmm should I listen to the weather?

    Rosie is ironic a secure site?... I hate kindle .... how did soapbox become ironic.this is now entering the twilight zone. How did drop box become soap ox. Now soap box is soap ox. It all. Changes after it's typed..Who's the programmer. Must have been on milk. How did.ilk become ilk when milk should have been in it's place.

    Someday ...on the same day we should all just post without correcting the auto correct.

    Blondie, gonna sound strange sweet pea, I'm happy for you to be on hospice. You have accepted your dx eons ago, but had no support. Sucked big time. You agreed ,all supported you.........the non supportive kids......I'll leave those words for you to say.... let hospice make your life easier. Little goats is an experienced hospice nurse. If you run into any speed bumps, she will know how the things that will help to clear the road.

    Sassy- you couldn't see the photos? It's supposed to be secure.. love those gosslings and the little pintailed peeps.. I do not own a Kindle, just a regular computer. The photos were taken with a regular digital camera, transfered onto the computer. Odd that the post of flowers and baby birds would upset you.

    proud mama aka sas - i only got audio.  you certainly have a handsome son.  Well done, mama.   too funny you watched it in the bathroom - certainly something only a mama would do.  I love your idea of 1 day of all posting whatever auto correct does.  Would be a hoot.

    Chevy - is Teresas husbands funeral today ?  Praying for her. 

    Jazzy - stay dry

    Off to another feeling great day today.  DS2 is home sick.  He never misses school so I know he must be really miserable.  I dont want him sick but I am enjoying being mama bear - waiting on him hand and foot and great snuggling.  So sick of our entire families lives being ruled by how I feel.  It feels great to be the care taker not the patient.  

    Hope everyone is off to a great start.  Hugs all around.

    Hootie hOO

    Yes Peppermint.... Funeral today.... It will really be hard on her, I know.... she has gotten used to him being "gone" but I know with all of this going on, it has to just hurt....

    She had her hair done yesterday, and the gal will be in her room to "fluff it up" for her again.... Just so she know's we'll always be just a phone call away from her....

    Take care of that boy of yours....... hugs everyone.....

    Storms are gone! Hope the weather stays good to take my little convertible (now finally fixed) out for a trip across town to meet some guy friends from a client site here in town.

    This one is for Sassy and any of the others here who are or have been nurses in the past. I have come to appreciate what nurses do more and more as I have more interactions with the US healthcare system!

    Ditto, Jazzy...

    The nurses I have had, have all been excellent. I spent 4 days in the hospital when I had my colectomy. ( 2 years before BC ). I had 2 young men as nurses. They were both amazing. I appreciated there service & compassion imendsley.

    Chevy, sorry about Eddie. At his age, I hope there are some funny stories & laughter. Sad funerals are too difficult. Celebration of life, a little lunch. Perfect. I do not want a funeral. Hopefully those in charge will respect that. A celebration, with food & wine. I know my kids will do that. The funeral industry is kinda of a racket. The days of herases are dwindling.

    HOOT Patty Pepper, SO happy you are feeling human again. You deserve to have a amazing summer with your handsome DSs. I was in Boise for the weekend. Shopped & ate good food. Walked the dogs. Simple stuff. I have a fancy wedding to attend in a month, so needed shoes.

    We are plugging along with packing, sorting, trashing. Move on the first, wedding is the 6th. I leave for my Carribean Cruise on the 7th. No worries......he....he...

    Waving hello to all....

    Hol- Carribean cruise sounds the best of everything you are talking about!

    What islands? I know the Carribean well, spent a lot of time there on vacations in the past (and did a cruise there in early 2012.....)

    Hi Jazz,

    It's a quickie. We stop at Grand Cayman & Cozmel. The best part is, we got a big room with a private balcony. I have never been on a cruise. We have sailed, slept on the rented sailboats. In the San Juans, inland waters.

    My friend, that I am going with, this is her 5th time, on this cruise. She is a flight attendant. Her life is traveling & flying. We went to school together, in Calif. We grew up with each other familes, so we have a 50 year history. Woo, that's hard to say. She is a great person, but we really have nothing in common anymore. Our lives are very different. She has no kids, hates sports. My life is my family & being active. It will be an yak fest on how much trouble we were as 15 year olds.

    Hol-that sounds awesome. Not been to either of those places, but being barged around, waited on hand and foot, fed anything you want any time of the day is pure pampering. Private balcony sounds amazing.

    I hope you take pics and will share some with us!

    Holinone- good luck on the move. Enjoy the cruise and the private balcony. I have never been on one. Hope it's a blast.

    Chevy- I hope the funeral goes well and Teresa is comforted by friends and family.

    Patty glad you are feeling better finally! Hi Blondie. The sun has left today.. bummer.

    Rose, thank you for sharing the pictures-lovely garden. Wish the garden was nearby.

    Momma Bear Patty, isn't it wonderful to have the strength and energy to comfort and care for little ones? It's a privilege.

    HI1, hoping for smooth transition to your new place. You have to swim with the Stingrays in Cayman and careful not to overeat. DH and I love meeting staffs from different countries. These people really work hard for their money and most don't see their families for months.

    Susan, sorry I couldn't find any sexy big girl panty. I can't imagine the stress of fighting with insurance company for coverage on services that you know is necessary.

    Jazzy, hope you had fun on your outing. I can imagine you in your convertible enjoying the ride with jazz music in the background.

    Hugs to everyone.

    I have just spent a good hour frustrating myself trying to find a reasonably priced under 20 scrapbook 12 x12 album for my kids along the school/sports theme. Well I just deleted most of this post because it never occured to me to type in a fabric store like JoAnn Fabrics for scrapbook albums - solved! Yay got just what the kids wanted on JoAnn Fabric's site. So no help needed..

    Hope you all had a nice day. We had some thunderboomers that scarred the cats.. pretty funny. No rain so far. Sunny the rest of the week!!!

    Loverof life - Thank you for asking! I was so frustrated... I thought it would be the easiest thing on line, but I was so wrong. I ordered a bunch of photos from Costco for the kids to makes scrapbook pages of school activities and sports etc.. got the stickers, pages - all of it.. then I couldn't find a suitable ($) album for each of them. So I was thrilled to stumble across JoAnn Fabric selling scrapbook albums cheap too - 9.00!!

    Just out of curiosity where did your friend recommend to look? I am new to this. Seems like a very good activity for teenage girls.
