Hey all, yes it is finally going to rain, although it will make playing croquet a little more challenging. My grandson is spending the week with me and we had planned on playing a couple of games today. The weather is not going to cooperate, but hey, my poor roses and gardineas and petunias need the rain. The yard is so dry you don't have to mow, just walk on it and the grass crumbles.

  I have added a new friend, Carolyn, welcome aboard. As you can tell by my dates on my entries, I don't get around much like I should, but just to let you know, as well as others, it takes a total of 15 minutes to download this site, another 10min to download my page, and another 5 min to post my blogs. But, you are all worth it to me. I started blogging on this site two years ago and since have went to others like Facebook, Zanga, Myspace (UGH!), and of course Twitter. I have two art sites, Fine Art America, and Drawspace. I just recently started a page on Gamespot as Don has gotten me into gaming,being two old retired people with nothing else to do, :) But I always come back here, this is home to me and have met some of the best people here.

  Just a little announcement: I got my engagement ring Thursday and it is very protty. We haven't set a date yet, still working on that.I will let everyone know when that will be.

  Everyone have a great week, stop in and say hi, and you are in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs

  Hey all, hope everyone had a great and safe 4th. My birthday, which was the 5th, went well too. Cake, and cards and phone calls all day. It was cool for a couple of days, but it is heating up again. My oldest daughter and two granddaughters came down for a 3 day visit. We had a good time despite the power going off during a freak rainstorm and doing without air and tv and computer, you know the necessities of life. It was only out for 24hrs but it gave me and the girls some bonding time and relive memories of when they were younger. We drew some pictures and laughed at the silly ones. We really had a good time. Now the other two daughters are coming down this weekend so I will be busy with them.

  I will try to get back soon, if not please note, you are all in my heart and mind. Have a great week. Cya
