4 of 4 is looking a bit off colour

That's a good looking boy Small and Barry - adorable. Great pic!

MamaVerb wish your husband a happy birthday from me too!

Well the Prof and his team (called Old Skool) lost. Not surprising - they played a bunch of whippersnappers in college. But they did great. They are so funny while they play - you can tell it's all tongue in cheek - the Prof - did a turn around fade away at one point that was a brick. He could not get it in the basket...but he looked good doing it.

Izzie...I hope you are getting what you got to done! Do take care of yourself though. I really don't know how you do what you do. I worry...so do others I know. We love you!

K...I am going to my class reunion tonight and will be gone through Sunday. So I will be on shore leave. Probably will not have time to post this weekend until I get back. If there are some decent pics - I will try to post them.

Hugs to all,
mis

S-boy has been told that FQ is doing a little better (FQ-Jdaughter)- still achey - but getting better. Good news. Love you sis.

OK " I gotta go into town (ugh) " needs must and all that " to do’s to do.



<late.......... there's a thing >


Smooches all - missing the missing - thinking of y'all. x

I bid you good morning dear sweet people; it is with an underlying precipitous current of anacreontic symptoms that I write to say;

"Busy, curious, thirsty sigh,
Drink with me, and drink as I;
Freely welcome to my cup,
Could'st thou sip and sip it up.
Make the most of life you may;
Life is short and wears away.”

So how goes it with the pari passu crew?

Myself and I presently return from Welkin, tenebrous times repugn. Whether perspicacious or acutely pleonasm, I palliate, as it is hardly opprobrium. However, I obdurate with a moue.

In an effort to at least appear luculent, I shall refrain from writing lucubrate; so stop your lachrymose.

I shall instead regale y’all with a rendition of my vacation. Even though many warned me of the perils I could face in Canada; none could diminish my great expectations…

As I approached the bluff above the vally…


Unfortunately the lift to the hotel was outta order…


To get to the beach you had to go through the back yard…


Down the path….


Past the effluent overflow…


Climb the sand dunes…


By this time the tide was out…



So I took the short cut…


Time for a little skinny dippin’, but the sand was a little on the cold side.


Next semester: A very copacetic Mobile.


FQ: Have a great time, just remember; America is not just one big theme park. (Did I just say that?)

Tulip: Safe travel and wonderful experiences to come.

Izzie: Do have the most exciting times on your US vacation. In anticipation of your visit I have booked a suite at The Peninsula Chicago on The Magnificent Mile to use as a crash pad; just don’t tell Wandel, I can’t afford his restaurant tab!

May I extend a belated welcome to Small, I don’t think I have had the pleasure; which is not something I can say about many south of the Mason-Dixon line.

The legions of Brooke admirers can relax; she resides North and aways West.

Rollin down a backwoods Tennessee byway, one arm on the wheel, holdin my
Lover with the other: a sweet, soft, southern thrill.
Worked hard all week; got a little jingle on a Tennessee Saturday night.
Couldn’t feel better: I’m together with my Dixieland delight.

Chorus:
Spend my dollar; parked in a holler neath the mountain moonlight; hold her
Uptight; make a little lovin, a little turtle dovin on a mason dixon night.
Fits my life, oh, so right: my Dixieland delight.

Whitetail buck deer munchin on clover, redtail hawk settin on a limb, a
Chubby old groundhog, croakin bullfrog, free as the feelin in the wind.
Home grown country girl gonna give me a whirl on a Tennessee Saturday night.
Lucky as a seven livin in heaven with my Dixieland delight.

Chorus:

Except that is Missy, who remains stubbornly a refusenik. Guess I had better change my name from Nik!


Dearest VeBay, may I say how happy I am to see you in good health and fine sprits at this stage of your confinement. May you continue to blossom.

Good to see ya Foxy-Locksy, hope the heat is not getting too much for you.

Oh Dev, how I miss our fun and games; sweet memories.

To all you guys out there; see y’all at the clambake " I’ll bring the quahogs!

On a statistical note; it is interesting to see that this thread has at last caught up with the score of: Can 'nothing' exist? . The lowest common denominator strikes again!

May the fruits of your labor succor loved ones.

There he is. Sweet Try - (though I do not know that SWEET always applies to you dear man) - I have a headache from reading the first portion of your post. You know what they say about men that use big words....



But I do love that song...


makes me say ahhhhhh

Miss you Try - even though you annoy the heck out of me most of the time...glad you dropped in

As a "special agent" the government picks up all my restaurant tabs.

Seriously though, Tryagain, if you actually are in Chicago you should let some Chicago A2Kers know. We would like to meet you.

OH dang...

the t-shirt said - Leave it to you to use big words when you're smashed.

OOh Try so good to hear from you, you are looking good! But now you have joined us I am leaving on my Hols to Oz! won't be back for at least 3 1/2 weeks. So wishing you wellX

Have a good time all of you! We will and keep safeX

Iz you have a brilliant time and we will compare notes when we get back! X

LOVE IT!!!!!!!! <reminds me of Kefalonia's Mellisani 200? whenever >



ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... there you are! Blue Lagoon... and our Blue Loon!

We have missed ((((you))))!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So c'mere and give me a huge hug! Ahhhh - that's so much better!

Oooooh.... it is so good to see that you are still in-fluent-ial with your fluent effluency pensmanship! Your Pen Ins U La-rfable;) Gosh, I did miss you. Will say "so long, farewell", now, just in case you're gone again.

<btw - those pics are beautiful Blue - beaut yer fool - fer sure. Simply stunning - would love to be able to take pics like that - thanku - smiles big>





OK....... so needs must will have to wait - Monday, needs must on Monday! Couldn’t go out thisavo " couple reasons... one = S-boy , two = couldn’t do the town thing Went for peace instead.


Supposed to be going out tonite and taking S-boy with me. G’s son’s musical production (this is a huge thing for him " first production of the Theatre company he and his girlfriend have set up) " bit nervous " mucho family will be there " ok " a lot nervous, but again, needs must and all. There’ll be about 235 folk there " the last night " prolly over half will be close friends and family. Hmmmm " anyhoooooo " S-boy has got sick thisavo " explains crankiness yesterday. Headache, sorethroat... well, I’ve had the mother of all headaches and bad throat for 5 days now " a lot of folk have got this “not well” but “not really pooly” feeling " however, S-boy has slept for nearly 3 hours this afternoon, has woken up and gone to his bed to lie down. He's asleep again now.

Not sure what to do. Can’t NOT go tonite (yes Bazza " I know what you said) " I can NOT go " but I should make myself. I want to see the performance " I just don’t want to be part of the performance! Hey Ho. Have left a message on my parents phone to see if Mom will come across " I have no other options and know Mom wants to see S-boy " so, perhaps this is a good thing <is it, isn’t it, who knows> We’ll see. I’ll go " do a run in, see it, hug G’s boy, and run out. OK... I can do that. I can. Oh........... gotta leave in just over an hour or so.... best go decide what to wear and hope Mom calls back soon.

Will be fine. Will be fine.


So........ whilst S-boy was sleeping I was finding a world of peace in my garden. River has gone down and is clear again and I managed to snap my first dragonfly this year. YAY. It was beautiful " tho blurry methinks. Haven’t got the pics downloaded yet and might not get a chance tonite (well not until later later) " but it was perfect. Perfect timing to have a visitor to my garden " gave me huge peace photographing the handsome fella.

So, talking of musicals, been listening to my fave, of course

Drink With Me - La La M'iz way - ohhh love a good tune!




Mis...... you’ll be gone now " HAVE FUN <shouts over to Dixie>

Waves to jw - see ya soon!

Tulip - F-boy was a little "coldy" last nite - keep an eye on him - maybe get some .... what're they called - you know, the cold meds, the capsules - ack - can't think of the name. Or lemsips or something, just in case he's off colour on the plane.

HAVE THE BEST TIME TULIP. Love ya girl. PLEASE, HAVE THE VERY BEST TIME DOWN UNDER. x

Tulip - CONTAC Cold and Flu.... that's the one. I know you don't do the medication thing with the kids a lot ... but maybe a good idea just to take something for the plane. Lots of water too. OK OK OK... I'm worrying. I'll stop. x

Tulip - no - not jeans on the plane - no no no - big and baggy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! laughing!

ok big and baggy that's me! ha aha

Give Sboy a hug from me

Have fun Tulip! I hope you enjoy every minute!

Iz - not gone yet...but about to. I was just sticking my head in again. I have got to go get my stuff packed into the van. Long trip with my wiggly little whipper snappers. I am saying that word a lot to day - for some reason. Maybe because I feel a bit old going to this reunion. I am seeing so many old faces...worried about seeing some - thrilled about seeing others! My stomach is all fluttery!

Love you Izzie. Take care of yourself.

I still have not completed all my obstacles...money and kids are no longer an issue...it's that Saturday that's the problem. If I could come during the week I would have to rig another situation for the kids, but that is possible...but - the weekend with my prior commitment - well...still working. So less obstacles...just one major one. I have frequent flyer miles and everything - so it is not a question of money. The Prof is also just not happy with me going somewhere by myself. If I hadn't been so dang flakey all these years this wouldn't be a problem!

JPB - I might have to call upon your help. I will PM you.

Love you all..
