Thank you Izzie, you've done a wonderful job, even made me look better. Crew I appreciate your nice comments, and yes Rockhead you may call me 'gramps'.

(((Dutchy)))

I am going to bed..

sooooo sleepy.

Good Night sweet folkses

I'll have to have hamburger take a look at that. Seems to me you look much like my favourite German uncle - or mebbe I just wish you do

G'night all.

cool pic Izzie..and BEAgle you really look like a loving protective EAgle/Bear with those lovely tots. there!

Hi verbivore, I remembered your request. How is my beautiful dark eyed pearl from the east?

Hello hope your all fine out there on the thread. TTFN Back to school Looks like I may bite the bullet for to much

Taking a pit stop .A bit past one. Eleven holes dug. Almost pulled a mismi. Caught myself though.
Dutchy. Great picture. You have truly been blessed, looking at those grandkids.

....almost pulled a mismi...

thank goodness you didn't. I am wanting to get outside so bad I can't stand it. But I'm still one handed....so I am vacuuming one handed...doing laundry one handed....so on so forth.

Why the holes Alex?

There is Big Red...keep it up! Proud of you!

peeking in to say hello...need to keep on keeping on...hugs to you all!

Crazyish weekend ahead.

Hey Mis, Dutchy, Izzie and all the crew

Just poppin' in myself before I say g'night.
Good to see you, fq. Give Iz- a squeeze for me when & if you see her, ok?
Good to see all of you, if just for a bit. Wonder what our Brooke-y is up to - probably her armpits, in books! We're thinkin' of you, girlie!
Maybe I'll see y'all tomorrow. Hugs! - dev

Sneaking onboard the ship to see what ya’ll been up to.

I’m sorry that I have been AWOL much of the time. Doesn’t mean I don’t think about you. School is full force and nailing me to the wall most days.

Izzie…… Wow, you have been through the mill. Good gravy! Are things calmer now? Your strength when you trudge through hard times, amazes me. I just don’t know what to say. Except you know I love you!

Mis ……..how’s your Daddy doing? Geez girl…..sorry about your arm. Yikes! That sounded painful! I hope you are over the worst of it!

Dev … How are things with you? Tough time of it there for awhile, I see. I think that those times are needed. As hard as they may be. Ya know? Sort of like kicking aside all the bad things that are buried , so they are no longer in your path and you can see clearer. Walk straighter. And find yourself again. It hurts though. I know. Trust me. I know. Been working on some of that myself. I bet some days it feels like a brick wall that you can’t penetrate. Or like the bricks have come crumbling down on top of you. Making it harder to get where you know you need to be. You have the strength. Even when you feel weak. And it’s ok to feel weak at times. Those are the times you don’t have to try and push through it. Set it aside….and be good to YOU. The rest will come.

Dutchy…..awwwww I loved that picture! Your grandkids look so happy to have their grandpa with them. Just adorable!!

Steve, I’m very sorry about your friend.

JPB, RH, Dev, WV, Alex, jw, verbivore, bigred, FQ, annis, try, and anyone I missed…….wishing you all the best. Have a great weekend.

((((( Crew ))))) Miss you guys!

I was wondering what happened to you JustBrooke. Glad you're still around
It is raining outside and that is the forecast for the weekend (go figure).

Oh, Hi to anyone here.

Lovely to see FlavourQueen and JustBrooke back on board, missed you guys, but realise you both have important jobs at hand. I was always taught, work first and play later, you both obviously adhere to those principles as well! Thank you for the compliments of my three grandkids, we certainly adore them, a pity they live so far away and consequently we don't see them often enough. Wishing all the crew a great weekend. Long weekend downunder with a public holiday on Monday.

hey i wanna share a piece of interesting info to ye all. Tmrw Ive been selected for the induction program for the "Teach India" movement initiated by the Times of India group! wherein we spend 4 hrs a week teaching street children..open their hearts and minds to the world of letters! Ohh and am i thrilled! ye am really am!

wil share more once i start the program! bye for now!

Congratulations verbivore on being selected for the induction program for the 'Teach India' movement, seems a very worthy cause, and I'm certain you'll make a worthwhile contribution. Look forward hearing more about it. Enjoy your Sunday.

Hey crew

Just to say we are so very proud of you Vegemite.... how fabulous is that!!!!! You will be fantastic with those kids - of that I am certain.

So good to see everyone here... will be back later on.

Wishing everyone a great weekend.

Lovin' y'all. x

Verbivore! that is great news about being involved in the Teach India program. Congratulations!

Gala, in the terms of our dance gala, means that there will be a total of about 70 - 80 dancers over the evening, with a bit of a party and reception before and after. It's going to be quite festive. A bit more formal/structured than a hafla, which is a bellydancers party - really no outside audience.

Hey Dutchy, I was taught that too. Guess what? I changed those rules. I can work and play at the same time. No need to separate the 2. Nothing better than having fun at where you work.

Good morning Izzie. Good morning crew. Sunday.
A quick hello to all.
Izzie. Ship needs new paint on the hull. Galley needs restocked. Flares need updating. We're on our last spare prop. Where are you captain.
Verbivore. Congratulations on being selected. The rewards you will receive.
ehBeth. Dancing. Is that how you broke your house steps?
Justbrooke. Good luck with your studies. Down with the Buckeyes.
Off to the cider mill for cold fresh Michigan apple cider, and doughnuts.
Good day.
