Good morning, all.

Hope you all have great plans for the weekend! I'm off reunioning with friends from high school...it's always such fun!

We had a great, quick dinner the other night. I have a thing called Fasta Pasta ( from QVC) that makes pasta in the microwave. Really. And the darn things works as promised! I made our penne in there in 16 minutes from start to finish. No big pot of boiling water on the stove to heat up the kitchen, etc...wonderful! You get 2 for about $20...so, I can make my mac salad, pasta salad, etc. ALL SUMMER LONG...yay!

If I hadn't tried it, I probably wouldn't have believed it, but it's great. I saw a recipe for lasagna rollups...this thing will do lasagna noodles perfectly, so that's what I'll try next. I'll post the recipe later.

So, until I see you later, have a great day!

Waving to our friendly night owl, Doris!

Connie- hope you're feeling comfortable and can come back to us soon!

Hello Margaret, Have fun with your friends today it's always nice to see how everyone is doing.

Thanks for the recipe and the link.

The sun is out today but still cool, So I would say perfect weather for me.

My sis called yesterday and said I might want to think about coming in 3 weeks, She thinks that will be the surgery time.

I already have my dry cleaning in and picking them up today, My passport and and personal stuff is already in my carry on. Just have to book the flight which I plan on doing today at least get an idea of the prices. Most of the flights have one stop over and they are cheaper but I am not a good flyer so I will have to pay the extra for a straight flight.

My Dh is so supportive, I am so glad he is in my life. I maybe gone for up to 3 months it just depends how the surgery goes.

Hugs, Ann

Oh, Ann..what a time you have ahead for you, your DH and your dear sister!

((Ann))

I have every bit of confidence ( must be faith) that you will all do well.

I hope you can find an easy flight that doesn't cost too much ( are there such things?)

We are not happy flyers either ( or is it fliers?) Anyway, we are going to Albuquerque this summer and have to go through Baltimore both going and coming home...no non-stop flights from here...

See you later.

Hello friends!  I am definitely on the mend and feeling pretty good.  I'm not going to overdo it though because I'm having so much fun watching DH realize how much stuff he takes for granted around here. 

Tomorrow I hope to make a big bowl of tuna salad for myself to use for lunch and snacks.  Love it on celery!

Hope to be back chatting frequently!

Hi, Hauke and Connie-

Hauke...NOW you can leave the door open! We'd be happy with a little warmth... So good to see you!

Connie- you look wonderful! Nice to have you back with us...take it easy and do let DH help! I'm sure he's willing to!

Waving to everyone else...

Hi Margaret, Ann, Hauke and Connie,

The last of my company just left and I am exhausted. Mason wanted to stay over again tonight but DH isn't sure he wants to go out to their house tomorrow so he had to go home. We met Michelle's boyfriend and he seems nice and Colton was very taken with him.

Kirsten and Don brought me a hanging gerainum for mother's day. I'll have to read up on it I think they need full sun, if so I don't know where I'll put it all my hanging spots are in the shade most of the time.  I bought some perennials today at the sales and that was my biggest purchase. I was sorely disappointed not having any great finds, I did get a few books.

Connie I am so glad that you are coming along and feeling pretty good. Let your DH pamper you for as long as he is willing.

Margaret I hope you had a good time at the reunion.

Did you find any reasonable priced flites Ann? Does your sister have a computer so you can stay in touch with us?

Hauke it's hard for me to believe it is so warm there in Canada, we had a little rain and the temp really dropped. I think it was in the 50's when the kids left. Your gonna have to start drinking iced coffee to help you cool off.

I think I'm off to an early bed time tonight and I hope to see you all tomorrow.

Carol

Hello, I'm just checking in.

It's 97 degrees up here, suddenly, it's summer!!!   Time to dig out the special tall glasses for the diet root beer, fat free, no sugar added vanilla ice cream and make dh and I a nice FLOAT !!!!!  :)

Have a good evening, have a good time if you are out and about, and stay safe on the roads, too many nuts out there!!!

Doris

Hello!

Well we had a lovely time at reunion yesterday. I saw so many good friends! We had some women there from the class of 1938 - their 70th reunion, and one woman from 1937...her 71st! I do the introductions of the returning classes, so it's always wonderful when I get to introduce those women! The senior class- the class of 2008- is always amazed!

Off to the theater today- I'll work "house" for the matinee...the last performance of this show " Inherit the Wind". It was a great production...

Starting to rain a bit- so DH won't be doing more yardwork today...he did a lot yesterday, so that's just fine!

Waving to you all...send us a touch of that heat, will you?

Margaret

Good Morning,

I have been trying to get on here since about 5am and nothing would come up for me.

Margaret that is really something 70 and 71 years how wonderful. I hope the ladies are enjoying good health so they can come back next year if you do this annually. I think DH's 45th reunion is coming up this year but he won't even consider going.Oh well I don't go to mine either since I have not kept in touch with anyone so I never hear anything.

I think I will lay around and rest today.

See you later maybe.

Carol 

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday.  DH and I went to the nearby nursery and I pointed out flowers and plants I want for the yard.  DH loaded them up and my mom will be coming to help plant them.  She is very excited to help in some way during my recovery. 

DH continues to pamper me.
