brochilli, and garlic toast.

 Wishing All a good night of sleep. May God Bless our Troops and Emergency Workers.

Sorry I did not make it here yesterday to wish ya'll a Happy Mothers Day so hope it was a good one for everyone.

I did make it to church and then home with Rose and family for a very good chicken dinner that  Rose fixed. had a real good time. Did not see my son's but Wayne called me Friday night and then yesterday evening Shawn called and wished me a happy mothers day and said he was sorry to be calling late I told him it was never to late to call me for anything,  He is going through a bad depression time right now and needs a lot of prayer he has had periods of depression before so sure hope this time is over soon.  but a least he is calling me now, he did go out side to make the call so his wife would not know who he called. Sure wish she would grow up.

We was under a tornado warning Saturday night from about 7 P.M. till 2 A.M. I was at the fire station for a dinner and music so we kept hearing the news that the fire chef was getting on the storms.

I have a doctor's appt. this afternoon for a checkup and blood work up hope she can figure out what is causing the back spasms I have been having for the last 3 days . well better get busy the washing machine is calling for me need to put clothes in dryer.

have a good day and I will do my best to get back here this evening.

Ruth

Good morning Ruth, seems we are both doing the same thing, laundryyyy. Glad that you had calls from your sons as well, visits are nice, but sometimes just not possible due to distance and circumstances in many cases, but those danged ol’ phones sure do in a pinch don’t they? You can feel the love, hugs and kisses even over the wires can’t you. Time and money these days make it hard for many, and we have so many things going on before Kerry deploys after the first of the year, and time is flying, but soooo glad you heard from your sons as well. Missouri is one of the states having a terrible record with tornadoes this year aren’t they. I sure worry about my brothers and sisters up there, tis where all of them are, and then our oldest son being in Alabama and other son in the Carolina’s, well each of them get their share of tornadoes and hurricanes too.  Washing the Kia yesterday the wind bringing the water back on me, sure made me think of years ago when we lived down here and hurricane going through and getting washing with back lash of car washing then, made me wonder just how soon one will hit again. Well I need to change me laundry over as well and throw in another load and do some vacuuming also and sure need to dust, *cough, cough* You have a good day Ruth and stay close to a safer building when you have those warning going through, prayers that your blood work tests go well and they find what is hurting you. Hugs, Connie

Hi,  Been really busy this weekend.  Just wanted to wish you all a belated Happy Mother's Day.  Will catch up with you all later.  Going out of town to the doctors.  TTL Ann

Ann, you are probably gone by now, but have a safe trip to the doctors office and enjoy the trip if you can, prayers that your appts go well. Hugs, Connie

I for got to tell you that Goldie has been found and she if ok, she gave me a mothers day gift she had 3 puppies she did not look like she was about to do that,

we all thought she could not have anymore

Just a quick request, can't linger. We have friends from our church who left for China last Tues. with friends from L.A. They have two more weeks before they come home. As you may know by now there was a 7.8 earthquake there last night and beings I don't know their itinerary, just know they were going to Beijing and the great wall. Please pray for their safety....Bill and Beverly. I don't know their family only that she has a son here in the Everett area...don't know his last name and a daughter in eastern Wa. He has a son in Yakima but don't know his name either. We just became friends with them last summer so haven't met their children.

Liz

Liz, glad to see you checking in. hope your Mothers Day was great as well. Sure will keep your friends in my prayers, yes, I just saw this morning on the news about the large quake, must have been terrifying, quake of that size. Hope you hear something from them or about them, I did see many Chinese trying to use their cell phones and you could see many were having no luck, which is natural in quakes that size for the most part.  How is Duane doing today? Ruth, what a surprise for you, definately need to be feeding her more now  to feed those new babies. hehe. Surprise , surprise.  Connie

Good morning, looks like another day for company for me (DGD) and eating Mexican food today.

I saw on TV this morning that on May 15th. at McDonald's, you can get a free chicken biscuit with the purchase of a medium drink.A good deal not to miss.I don't care that much for chicken but thought I'd pass it along.My favorite is steak, egg & cheese biscuit from Hardee's. Seems like I've done a lot of eating of late and hoping I didn't gain back the pounds I lost, more than likely I did.Oh well, keeps me from getting wrinkled, doesn't it?

My DD called from the NC island where they are for a week; they'd been on tornado warning most all of the afternoon and evening.She didn't want to tell me yesterday, but I'd already seen it on the news, so if she hadn't called this morning, I was going to call.We don't use phones during storms and she had already called several times during the day.It was kinda scary all around me but it didn't ever turn into a watch or warnings, just elsewhere around this area.So that's all that I have on my mind this morning.I think I want to go to the theater or at least a long drive up the Parkway to see what else is in bloom.I'm a bit tired of being home and pretty well talked out too.WCBL.DGD just got here...

Hi Dee, come on along.I've plenty of leftovers left over.Take your pick.Good thing I have a dog visitor, saves me a trip to the woods feeding the wildlife, although crows pretty much boss around everything till it's gone.Hope they enjoyed that thawed rhubarb left from last year...Glad you are doing better these days, at least I hope you are.SYAL...

Good morning Connie, Ruth, Ann and Liz. You all posted while I've been working on the post for an hour .Phone ringing too many times.Wasn't ignoring anyone or being rude, just didn't know till after I edited and saw Dee had had posted.My mind is gone...Hello to everyone else also...

Good evening everyone, do hope that your day has gone well. Just noticed that I have been "in the kitchen" all day. LOL Was called away from the computer this morning and just never made it back. Had a note started but just dumped it,......... was all old news. *grin*

My Connie what a treat to be eating nice fresh vine ripened tomatoes. That extra care you took with your plants early did pay off for you. And yellow squash too, thats wonderful. Our friend has zucchini that is eating size already but no tomatoes in this area that I have heard of. Even Hillary's tomatoes are not ripe yet. LOL

Ruth do hope that the doctor was able to help you with your back spasams today. They sure are not fun to deal with so sure hope you can find relief.............. So Goldie has made you a fur baby grandma again .What a treat. Bet her puppies are sure cute. Think I remember your saying she is a yellow lab.

Ann do hope that your trip to the doctor went well today. Did you get some of your other errands in town taken care too. Since the gas has gotten so out of sight we try to make every trip to town cover doc appointments as well as other shopping.

Dee it was good to hear that you had nice lunch with MIL and SIL for Mother's Day. Sounds like that was a white knuckle ride. *sigh* .........I ended up putting the roast in the oven this time Dee but a roast is really easy in your electric skillet.

Liz do hope that your friends from the church is ok there in China. Heard them interviewing a lady from the states that is visiting there and was hopeing it was your friend but then finely learned she was from Utah. Prayers going up for Bill and Beverly.

Lin , know that you have had a good day for sure with your DGD visiting. Did you two enjoy some good old Mexican food today? Do hope you did not have to do the cooking..................that chicken biscuit at McDonalds is not all that great. Today I was paying one of our gas credit cards and in the statement was a coupon for a free one. Well Bill brought them home for lunch. The only thing they put on the bun is the chicken and two dill pickles so pretty dry. Or was until we did some adding too from the fridge.lol

Well going to hush for now and get this one posted. Don't want a repeat of this mornings post. *grin*

Wishing all a nice evening and a restfull and painfree night.

Adding hugs to the basket and prayers for all.
