    I love the pictures of the beaches.  Wish I was at one of them now, it is so cold here and is expected to stay that way for a while.  I would love to be in the blue lounge chair with a cool drink and a sunny sky.  Thank you Lisa and Mum for sharing these wonderful pictures.

    For those who are praying for Kendall, my #1DGD, she had to have surgery yesterday to replace the temporary drain because they can only be in so long before the risk of infection become too great so they replaced it with a new one so that would give them more time to step her pressure up slowly.  The tried to go too fast before and she was having too much trouble with the rate of increase.  They do not want to put in a permanent shunt unless there is absolutely no other choice so they are trying one more time with the temporary one.  Please pray that this works and that she has complete healing.

    Take care everyone. AJ

    Answering posts as I read ....

    Carollyn, we have several bird feeders in our backyard. There's one in particular that hub just can't keep full - it's pretty big, and he puts cheap stuff in there, but they love it! It's the perches on it we think more than the food itself - lots of perches so not too much fighting! And of course all that spillage helps the ground feeding birds...we just can't believe how they're going through it!

    Julz, we did get the snow yesterday but not too bad. Hub and I were both home safe and sound with nowhere we had to go last night, so it was just pretty to watch. Late at night it was like a gazillion diamonds crushed on our front lawn. The moon was big and bright and really put the phrase into my head "the moon on the breast of the new fallen snow gave the lustre of midday to objects below". Enough sun today that it melted our cars without the need to scrape them, and hub just had to "squeegie" the steps and sidewalk. Enough for me till next winter though!

    AJ, I'm glad Kendall's team recognizes the danger of leaving in the temporary, and put in a new one. Of course, I wish she didn't need it at all, but at least it seems like her caregivers are truly putting her interests and health first. I hope that enough of us can storm our churches tomorrow on her behalf that we'll get that pressure stabilized once and for all. Hugs dear.

    Onto the next page for more reading and posting......

    Ah, ok...not much on this page so far! Here's another pic from the Tampa, FL gathering of a few chatters in Nov 2011 ... this is at the Gulf of Mexico which was about a 30 second walk from the condos where we stayed!

    And here's a shot looking left instead of straight ahead - I love how it looks dark in the one, but so light in the next one! Such a pretty beach. And those women are BCO chat friends of mine. More were there, these were just the ones who happened to be on my left when I snapped this shot!

    That is so pretty. I tried a mixed succulent planting once but one overran all the others.

    I LOVE container gardening! Even though I`ve never done it...hehehehe. Gives me ideas for this summer as I always forget to water. I DO have some of the Hens & Chickens already in my front garden at the rock border, so.....  I saw some growing in an old sneaker once, it was SO cool!!

    Lisa - I googled the San Diego Zoo and they have or at least had them there.  Thought might be where you saw them.  Wikipedia says they weigh from 70-150 lbs but gentle and can hand feed them. Would love to see the teeth on that thing!
