Our Escape

Good Monday morning sistahs! Hope all of you had a wondermous weekend. It's time to get up, get that coffee or tea and start a new week.

Thunder woke me up really early this morning. It's raining again, but I'm not gonna complain. We need it and maybe---just MAYBE it will cool things off.

Checkum I've been thinking of you and hoping you're feeling better. So sorry about your friend. That's such a bummer. I just hate cancer with everything in me! Hope your bike ride made you feel some better.

Faithie what a cooooooool picture!!! You get the best pics in the world! I bet your DH is used to it by now, huh? Stop----go----look----wait----let me get my camera!!! hehe  It's worth every stomp on the brakes or the accelerator to get those shots you're able  post for us. Hope you were able to sleep well last night before your hectic worklife begins this week. I know wittle kiddies everywhere are lucky that your vacation is over for now.

Sharon my sweet Canadian friend snookerdoodles you. I hope your Monday is wondermous too! You're gonna have to walk for me today 'cause I just can't get out in this rain. You know me----any excuse And maybe doggus can put in a few extra steps for my dogguses 'cause I KNOW they'll just sleep all day.

Arnie! How are you feeling? I know it will take a while for the chemo to get out of your system, but it's got to feel better "mentally" knowing you don't have to get that poison anymore. Do you have your "deport" date yet? That's when I officially celebrated. I was glad to get that foreign object out of my chest. Did I tell you I have it in a ziplock bag. When I get down, I just look at that and it reminds me I can get through anything. Hang in there. The rads will be over before you know it, and you'll be celebrating the holidays!!

Julz how's it going with kids back in school? Surely the house must be quieter while you try to sleep during the day.

Linda it's quieter in your house too, huh? Has DH healed completely? Will his tongue ever get back to a normal tongue again? I'm so glad you guys are done with that.

Paula I love the pic of you, your SO and grandkids. I'll say it again, you sure don't look old enough to be a grandmother. You look great!! Grandkids are precious too!

Carol you sound like a busy lady. All that cooking, gardening, etc. I wish I could do half of that....LOL. Your family is lucky to have homemade EVERYTHING! hehe

Deborye don't you just love baby pics? I want grandbabies too, but with only one daughter, who only has college on her brain right now, it looks like it will be a long time. Of course, I'm not complaining about the college thing. LOL. But-----I can hardly wait for grandkids! They say they're the best!

Barbe, Merilee, Mum, Idun, Dream, EWB, SoCalLisa, and any other Escapees I missed. I hope you all have a wondermous Monday!!!!

edit: to correct mistakes

Tis a great pic. Can you find one that says Barbe1958???? That's next years' challenge!

But it's breathless Mumayan!!!!

Once we spot the species of bird he is looking for then we stalk the same bush or tree because birds are creatures of habit they usually return to the same tree or bush.  Some times in the parks there are feeders which he will also stalk.

Gentle hugs Arnie.  Thank goodness it was the last one.  Rest as much as you can. 

and

Faith, you have to wonder if the other car was racing FROM you thinking something was "up".

Faith,  I LOVE the license plate!!!  Too Funny!!!  Glad no one got hurt and no speeding tickets were handed out!

Coonie, It's quiet again but SOOOOOOOOOO busy.  Scouts, school, soccer, clubs, homework, etc.  I'm busy!!  It's still real hot there??  Some some heat up!

Mum, great pic!!

I was at a BC photo promotion last night for the CIBC Run for the cure.All the local ladies formed a pink ribbon for the photo when I find it I will post it. I hear Patrick Swayze died yesterday.I have my preop today not feeling too up today.

Good luck Mum!!!

Hi everyone..been on a little break..

Good luck Checkum, I hope you figure it out.

Welcome back Lisa!

Evening Escapees !

I had so much to read to get caught up with you. We had a great 4 days in Chicago, even though it was mostly for the SO's business (big Print Show) I could have kicked myself for leaving my camera in the hotel room on Sunday morning. We went to the Print Show in the morning, but at the end of the day we went on a big boat on the lake. We cruised up and down along Chicago to the Navy Pier. It was so beautiful, we had food and drinks it was the best escape we've had for awhile. Heidelberg provided it all as a customer appreciation, SO has a Heidelberg press and bought a new folder while we were at the show. So sorry I don't have pictures of that shoreline to share with you. I took some with my phone but they just aren't good enough for here (

Thanks coonie you are always so complementary !

(((((mumm))))))

arnie feel better !

faith great pic glad no one was hurt getting it

Blessings for all ..................

OMG !
