"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

nice pics izzie, my pink poppies haven't popped yet

will be nice to be on the island a little earlier this year, should be able to get more wildflower pictures

A quick good morning crew and out again. Looks like Izzie's camera has been working overtime again, just stunningly beautiful your pictures Captain.

Mismi what are you thinking, the fairies will clean your house during your absence?

Loolking forward to your pictures djjd.

Cheers to all.

Lilacs are finished, the bridal wreath spirea is trying to colonize the neighbour's yard, and the first two red poppies have bloomed. Having a late start to the season here - other than the rhubarb, which is weeks and weeks ahead of schedule.

Izzie I just love to check in here and look at all of your beautiful photos. Have you ever thought of doing this professionally?

mismi you still enjoying baseball, or has your season ended? We are right in the middle of ours....and I'm lovin' it

Alex....are you watching Sox V. Detroit right now? or the Red Wings?

Hello Stormwatch. Good to see you. I am primarily watching the hockey game. Two two in the second.

An occassional flip of stations shows the five one score of the baseball game.

The refs in the hockey game let Pitt play with six guys on the ice for over twenty seconds,.....no call...

There's our Beth! I love Bridal wreath...I got busted when I was a little girl for picking my neighbors and pretending like I was getting married. Funny little memory.

Hi Alex! Good to see you...sounds like your garden is happy! That's good. No garden for me this year. I miss it.

Stormy - we are done with the regular season...All Stars right now. Just a few more weeks then it's all over. It is fun...but baby it's hot. So hot. yuck.

Dutchy...the only thing close to a fairy that cleans this house is me...and I ain't no fairy. Too clumsy for that...unfortunately.

My kids are going crazy...I need to go put them in the bed before they drive me crazy...

see y'all tomorrah!

"Hope you feel better Barry...take care of yourself. Lots of orange juice!" Wink
Thanks mismi,(cough cough),thank goodness it isn't oink oink! If this were the week-end,the OJ would be fortified with a drop of Smirnoff (blue label).

Morning /Evening Dutchy.

Hi Barry, good to see you smiling despite your cold. Heaps of orange juice and vodka should get you back into shape in no time. All the best mate. By the way mid-afternoon here.

hi alll..im back with a bang...fell into a week of all things messy!!! lost the internet connection at home..shifted to a new house..fell sick..now walking around with cough, cold, phlegm & nausea!!!! phhhheeeeewwwwww thanks for the tip BEAgle..for once ur "food" speech did actually do good..never knew oranges were good for cold..me gonna try some when i reach home thankkkuuu

mismi...glad to see sunshine back in place
hiya to rest of the crew
watever happened to dev? cant log in to facebook frm office nor is it there at home..neone ne idea?

Hey verbs,good to see you back.

Hi verbivore, nice to see you back, had a feeling all was not well. I drink heaps of orange/mango juice, love it and it is good for you so I've been told.

Cheers crew, I'm off to bed, as i will be on the road by 6am for the long trip west. You all take care of yourselves, should be back by next Wednesday. Have internet connection so may pop in from time to time.

There's our Verby - I am so sorry you have a cold Verby. I hate to tell you this but I think it goes hand in hand with being pregnant. I constantly had sinus issues both pregnancies. I hope you feel better soon...do drink a lot (water if not juice) and rest as much as you can. Remember - your body is creating another little being in there. It takes a lot out of you! So glad to see you sweety!

Hello Yabber Lovies!
Hope you are all having a good day (or resting well for those down under). It will be a busy day. May not be on much - but knowing how I LOVE to procrastinate and put things off until the last minute I may be. I am so much more productive when I do not have my little play toy about (I am pitiful at keeping off this computer). Hugs to you all...

See you later I am sure!
