I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

HL is fine.  Her DH told me that the hospital called and all is ok in surgery.

I have a suggestion for a Libby Libation. It's a variation on a drink I learned in my mixology class.

Two oz Blueberry vodka, freshly squeezed lemonade, fresh blueberries.

pour vodka over ice, add lemonade and blueberries. Enjoy. Think I'll have one as soon as I get home.

Just read that - first news report I saw online had it farther south - reports National Cathedral in DC damaged.

I didn't feel it in wester ma - but then folks are logging in the woods behind my cabin, and trees falling - maybe one of the "trees" was an earthquake tremor up here???  

blueberry vodka - that's new to me, but then so much is   Sounds delicious...

That must have been something in the D.C./Virginia area.  Walls shook and a shelf fell off the wall where my son-in-law works.  I was busy cleaning house and didn't feel anything.

Whew -- Enjoyful, thanks for the earthquake update!  So glad HL and you are okay!  I was in a meeting at work on the 15th floor in Midtown Manhattan and we all felt the swaying -- when we heard it was in VA and the Pentagon was evacuated, I immediately thought of HL, E and BinVA!  So glad you're all okay!

Cherryl, the Libby Libation sounds very healthy, what with all the antioxidants in the blueberries...

Sending the gentlest of good vibrations to HappyLibby!  Love you!

P.S. WR -- I think "good vibrations" will help to cancel out the earthquake vibrations -- if I'm remembering Physics 101 correctly !!!

Bren, I'm loving the pictures!  The "soft-focus" is an old Hollywood trick, don't you know!  [Speaking for myself -- the "soft-focus" seems to have given me a facelift!]

Sending wishes for best results for both Enjoyful and Happy Libby.  Also wondering where is Otter?

The entire country moved into the Atlantic Ocean?!  

I just wanted to mention to anybody rocked by the earthquake - check your water heater.  The gas connections can loosen, making for a dangerous situation that needs attention.  I got this suggestion from somebody who lives in an earthquake prone area and thought it was worth mentioning because those on the east coast aren't used to dealing with this.

Laura - strong swimmer here, but thanks for the warning!   

Alpal - Bartender sends to say that "Libby Libation" is just fine. H/Se will prepare special swizzle sticks, too. Now, what should the drink consist of - besides G & T.

E- PHEW - thanks so much for the update! L's poor DH must have had a mini panic attack for a second there. HL will be SO amused when she learns of what nature has chosen to put in her doctors' paths. I can just see her tell the story, can't you?

And E - fingers crossed for good bone scan results for you.

Oh, the earthquake? Bah! Lionesses do not admit that fear exists. Besides, I was more pissed off because I had to leave work early.  

Oh goodie ... Cherryl had a mixology class.  We have found our bartender!

I'll have a Long Island Ice Tea please while I wait anxiously to hear about Susan and Libby.  RR - I was also convinced to try one of those the same way ... at an office luncheon even.  Had no idea how much booze was involved

Hi Sunnyflowers   I believe we are going to have to send out a search party for otter.  Hopefully she will check in with us soon. 

Athena ... did you have to leave work early because of the earthquake? 

HL

Please be sure to check under the sheets after surgery.  I hope your doc had a steady hand when the earthquake hit.  And you slept through all the excitement.  I'll bet you're pi&&ed about that!
