<must.go.eat>

Izzie, I hope you will visit our radio.

Strange, Brooke. My mama told me that when I was two months old, I turned blue. Doctors came to one's home in that day and time and some procedure that he used worked. I was also told by my older sister that I had a heart murmur. Hope little Noah does as well as I have. As you can see, I'm still here.

Mama Verbs, I played that song that I posted here. You ought to visit as well.

That's right, Izzie. I am glad I showed you the restaurant in this park when you were in Chicago. It was used to film all the restaurant scenes in one of your favorite movies, "The Lake House." My older daughter, Katrina, was paid to be an "extra" in the restaurant scenes filmed for the movie.

My sister is doing great after her surgery. She is resting at home but will soon start physical therapy.

Morning crew, Saturday here and we're about to head to the market in town and have breakfast with friends, our monthly ritual. Rather chilly this morning, so I'm all rugged up and wearing my black beanie.

Thank you for all your posts it makes interesting reading and gives me plenty to ponder about. Would love to hop on a plane and visit the various places where you all live. For the time being cyber flights is all I can do.

Wishing everybody a great weekend.

BUCKETS I tell ya.... BUCKETS OF RAIN are falling from the sky. Good lawd - stop already..... my grass/clover needs cut!!!!!!!!!!!!

laterz peeps x

Great news jw. PT will be hard work but so glad she is doing well. FQ FIL has just come home I believe <need to call today> so hoping he will now recover better - he was in hospital for around 8 weeks... become very instiutionalised after that amount of time and depressed - hopefully back home he will improve a little now.

Very pleased for you and your family that sis is doing well YAY!

"BUCKETS I tell ya.... BUCKETS OF RAIN are falling from the sky." Amazingly here too Izzie, additionally it is bitterly cold, down to 3 degrees tonight. Fire burning brightly and I'm enjoying a glass of French Cognac, being Saturday night!

I must make a comment from the gallery Captain, why do you need a brace to hold up your chest, I thought these things were called bras?

Enjoy your painting and music Izzie, cheers I'm having another 'refreshment',

bruhahahha... ha, just read what i wrote back and it did sound like that a? I'm so unfocused today. Ho blooming ho BEAgle

Enjoy your cognac - and a glass of water before bedtime! Love you D. Warm warm hugs x

enjoy the chocs - there's an assortment





Well, didn't do a jot of painting - had a visitor and went out in the car for a drive - bought some more paint for the conservatory - ha - guess what it's called...





nope...





any ideas...







HAPPY DAZE... love that - happy daze in the conservatory (sometime, dunno when, but I'll do it eventually >





edit: darn, nearly quarter til 10pm - must.go.eat ...

Hey! I'm home! We headed for Tennessee last Saturday and got back late last night. It was a good week. But I am SO glad to be home! I missed everything!

Hey Brooke - I missed about Noah's surgery! I am glad he got through fine - will be praying that everything continues to improve. I am so sorry that sweet boy has had to go through all of this.

How is FQ's FIL?

Izzie - you gonna' paint some MORE? Yikes. I need to. But won't.

We stopped by Chatanooga yesterday to go to a Lookouts game (minor league baseball - Dodgers). We ate at a place called the Blue Plate Diner and on our way out met Tommy Lasorda. He signed Hall of Fame cards for all three of the boys. Pretty exciting stuff...he is a very sweet man. He was the manager for the Dodgers for many years and was being inducted into the Chatanooga Hall of Fame and they honored him at the game last night. So much fun. But the Lookouts lost to the Diamond Jaxx in 14 innings. pooh.

I have to finish unpacking. I have just not been able to find my "get 'er done" groove today - at all!

((Izzie)) All is well sweet friend.

Hugs to the crew!

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY - sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee's back


Missed you Dixie - so good to see you - been catching up myself on some pyjama reading - excellent news and ideas!!!

Go and do hunni and we'll see when you've caught your breath.

Verra good to see you - and so happy you had such a good trip. love you Mis xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


oh, FQ FIL is back home - spoke to K-bro's MaMa today and all is good - he's very happy to be home - it's been a long time in hospital for him and they've missed each other so much. Very close family - it's been hard to be apart - he's on the road to recovery and fingers crossed and goodness willing - he will heal well. x

I am glad to hear he is doing well. Tell FQ my thoughts and prayers are still with them as they are with little Noah and his family.

Well...I am still not done unpacking...but I lived out of it for a week - so I figure I can do it for another day at least.

So I need to go back and read, read, read...did Barry make it to India and meet our beautiful Mamaverb and sweet H?

What news? What news...I'm going to go catch up.

Hugs honey - thank you for your encouragement. I am so out of touch right now...I can't seem to do anything whole heartedly anymore...too spread out. I am sure I will get the hang soon...just feels like I have so many dangling ends.

Dutchy...stay warm! Happy belated Anniversary!

Hugs crew!

Morning mismi,good to see you back on board.

Aint No Stopping Us Now ! Old Skool Rules.
Me and Penny are really exited about seeing Verbs and her crew.Photos WILL be incoming!!!!!!,if I can work out the WiFi connection at the hotel .
Captain,was that trip to the paint shop in Molly?
Laters ((((CREW)))),stuff to do.Have a great Sunday!

Evening crew, Sunday almost over, attended football and that took care for most of the day, now sitting home watching a documentary on archeology, Stonehenge UK, to be exact. Fascinating and just about the only programmes which will keep my eyes glued to the screen, hardly ever watch any other TV.

verbivore I enjoyed that French Cognac however I must confess to you I do watch my intake off late as the Doctor has set my ideal weight at 100KG and I must not exceed that! Wish you happy times when the Harbourmaster arrives this week.

Feel relieved to see miss sunshine back on the scene, read all about your doings on FB, very inspirational! Don't often open FB but glad I did this week. You are one in a million mismi.

Izzie, what's up for not painting and going for a drive instead, must have been a VIP to neglect those duties?

Harbourmaster all packed? Keep verbivore short on the chocolate.

Off to make a cuppa. Cheers for now.

Morning Morning all.... gosh, really, it's nearly Afternoon Crew

yes yes yes... I neglected my duties and I still need to paint but good to spend time with a friend after not seeing them for a while.

actually, it was rather good getting out of the house, however, walking is a real problem right now even with the brace on (golly gee, that's sooo attractive ) and going up and down the step ladder is going to be nigh on impossible - so door frames are going to have to wait. Can't cut the grass either at the mo - but, it's looking quite nice out there all long and wavy in the wind I may try and paint the walls under the conservatory windows - hmmmm... knees... dunno - feel I need to be something tho. Will keep busy in some way, shape or form.

anyhooooooooooooooooooooo - have a happy head on and just so pleased to see our ((((Mis)))) back and to listen to the ((((BEAgle))) still teasing our (((MaMaVerby))) (you are a bad, bad boy teasing her so! ) <smiles>

Gonna crank up the volume and... crack on!


(((Bazza))) - so excited for you too - ooooooooooh - you'll be on the plane soon

I found one thing about India, Bazza, wherever you are, you're never very far from a cyber-cafe.
Very tech up-to-date people, the Indians.

You will have a lovely and mind-blowing time.

Today, we were up a mountain in lovely sunny weather here in the Taunus mountains (eastern Tyrol). Fab 360-deg panoramic views from about 6000 ft (thanks to the chairlifts) and we wandered about on the many paths until we were very footsore and leg-sore. I hope the pics come out, and do the scenery some justice.

Where are the Pads now? They must be getting near Germany sometime soon.
Still hoping to get down to London on time, to see them with Baz and Izzie.

Good Morning, Afternoon, Evening Crew

Can you believe it’s Monday, 9th August already... who knew! Where has the last year gone...
