Good afternoon Beakers!Since we were in Tahoe earlier this week, I'm still doing some catch up - please bear with me - thanks!
Baz - I paged back to 8/28 to read your story of your favorite Uncle and those wonderful memories you have!! He sure is an exceptional special member of your family!!
Thank you for sharing!
Lani - I know Mike came home to a sparkling house, as I looked back and saw that on one of those hot days, you stayed indoors dusting & cleaning the china & cabinets, etc. Enjoy this weekend together
So sweet of you to remember 'Ming' and post of pic of her. I know you have mentioned her many times in the past.
Lori - I am so glad you mentioned about the plastic that is so deadly to so many animals that see it as food (especially floating in the water) and they swallow it with terrible results. When my hubby was working, he used to take walks along the beach and would always pick up garbage and plastic left by beachgoers. Even now, when we are out anywhere, we will pick up garbage.
Phyl - So nice that you heard from your brother on your birthday and that all is good with him. Nice too, that you received an email from Jim's youngest - very special! I hope you are feeling much better now. Make sure you celebrate your birthday when you feel like it.
Clynn - I finally looked at that lovely 'dream' home in Waukee, IA - gorgeous! If it were here in CA, it would probably be a 2M home!
Oldguy - Just read that you installed grab bars at your MIL's. My hubby did the same for my Mom last year; one bar is where she steps into the shower and the other is along the horizontal side of the wall in the shower.
Lani - Actually, we do not have any plans for the weekend, but you never know!
Yaaay - football season!!
Your work never ends - Lol!! You had to vacuum Mike's dusty suitcase - and oh those dusty clothes & boots!
Tsk - Vacuuming is not my favorite thing to do, but with our Dyson, it is not too heavy to push around. Good that your soreness was gone pretty quickly. You have visited the Hearst Castle here in CA?! I love that place.
Clynn - Cute pics of the baby Beatles!! Beautiful pics @ Hellgate Osprey cam!
Puff - I would love to see the Mission in Santa Barbara - maybe one day. We have eaten at the Rocky Pt. Restaurant near the Big Sur area!
Phyl - Wow - you sure have been to Lots of wonderful places here in CA!! I know you lived in CA in the past, but didn't realize you've been to so many places!! Awesome
San Juan Bautista is only a 20 minute drive from where we live. We've been to the Winchester Mystery House when the kids were young and it only takes about 1 hr 15 min to get there from here. It's an interesting piece of history!
Karen - Hope you & Piper are fine and that your electricity stays on!
Tig - Oh no, that tumble you took, but so glad it didn't turn out worse - you did good at catching yourself the way you did. Glad the ice helped!
Paulie - I like 'no more slips, falls, & mishaps' !! I've heard that saying too 'things happen in 3s' . . . .
LisaG - Good for Jeff in taking care of the shower situation and making it safer for you.
Kb - Good point you made in mentioning that a Dog's nails can get caught in an escalator. That dog's 'mama' was sure cute in how she picked him right up!
Hi BL
Beakers have a nice afternoon. Our neighbors are gone for the holiday weekend and they've asked me to feed their pets, so I'm going to head over there now (its just across the street).
