BECKY are we in a race for topps?

Gail, you've been missed. But, it's hard to believe that you've got nothing to say.

Stella, did you see the article that the some of the Communist party officials are calling for a ban of the new Indy film. They claim it's propaganda to alienate a new generation against Russia. My response was it's a movie for crying out loud, not a documentary.

I started typing and there were 5 to go, by the time mine was posted, I was bottom of the page!! Never know who is there, just waiting.

MizT, guess I'm the bridesmaid this time. Congrats.

morning Becky and Tricia

I did not mean to sneak in ahead of you, I really figured my second one would be just after you!

Tricia, just send some of those peaches my way.. yum!!!

HI Becky, Hi Rolanda.

Congrats. to your Sister Becky. well done

Hi Rolanda, do I remember right. You're going on a trip this coming weekend?

I did not buy peaches Sunday, none were at the grocery yet. I might have to make that trip down to the peach farms soon and get some. I am really wanting fresh peaches myself.

Thanks Rolanda. I've been telling everyone, since I found out. Glad it wasn't a secret.

yes.. 3 sleeps to go..
unfortunately the weather is not looking too good.
Rain Rain Rain !!

BECKY very good about your sister. I am glad she likes her job as nursing assistant. where is she working?

MizT, if you come up this way this fall, I'll take to the orchard. Their peaches are almost the size of softball, as well as sweet and juicy.

Rolanda, the rain has not let up yet? I was hopeing they would rain out and change the forecast for your weekend trip.

She's in a nursing home in a nearby town. She says that she enjoys visiting with the patients and helping them.

fine day today.. expt max temp of 27C today. tad warm!!!! considering Winter is upon us on the 1st June..
Rain due in Thursday/Friday. getting heavier Friday Afternoon.

Rolanda, I'll keep my fingers crossed that the rain stops for you trip. Is this your rainy season?

Becky, we have peaches from end of May all the way through till September. The experimental farms have crossed varieties to get peaches that " come in" at varying times all summer. It is wonderful, and some of the peaches are better for one thing than another variety, but I always forget the names. some of ours are almost that bug. Do they prune the trees there to the open bowl shape, 3 or 4 branches that are out away from the middle, so sunlight gets into all the peaches in the center? they look a bit unusual till you know why they are pruned that way.

meant your trip. Sounds like something's wrong with me. Brain faster than fingers again.

BECKY, I do hope she continues to enjoy the nursing home work. Always needed and it takes special people who can work with the same patients day in and day out. I know the assisted living where my Mom was, had some very special nurses and assistants that worked there, very decidated. We will not talk about the other ones :(

yes most of our rainfall comes during the Winter months,
and we do really need the rain, so mustn't complain tooo loudly ..

noice chatting, but am so not here..
I need to borrow your shadow avatar Becky.
better get my ironing up to date. before picking up the ironing lady (mum) this afternoon.

bye

I'm not sure what they look like anymore. A few years back the public was banned from picking. People were damaging the trees. Their trees and starts date back almost 50 years.

Ladies, it is my bedtime and i have to be up to make hubby breakfast and lunch in the morning, no lying about the bed as i did today! Back to work tomorrow!

Becky, have a n=good night, and rolanda, hoope you have a very good day.

Rolanda, I stopped that nasty habit about 10 years ago.

You're more than welcome to use it.

MizT, could you make Rolanda one with a different colored coat?

I should get going too. Hope you all have a good night/day. Take care.

Just popping in to say Hi and Good Night! I think I have finally caught up with posts here, but have LOADS to read on Easy!
Some of you recall that hubby and I had a 2-week tour in Eastern Europe planned last Aug/Sept. Within hours of our arrival in Vienna, hubby was in the hospital, and enjoyed their "hospitality" for 3 days before he was dismissed and we came home. We were able to do our tour end of April to beginning of May. Both of us were healthy; we really enjoyed it; about half of those on the tour were from Australia and 2 couples from New Zealand! We traveled in Austria, Hungary, Croatia, across the southwest tip of Bosnia to Montenegro for a day, and Slovenia. It was mentally (lots of info & history) and physically exhausting, but well worth it! Now hubby (who previously didn't want to travel) thinks we should try another tour next year. We're still getting caught up with mail, cleaning, etc., but who cares?
And now, off to bed. Good night, Everyone!

Julie, so that's where you were! I am so pleased you were able to make up the trip.I bet with everything that happened the first time, it made it even more enjoyable and special for you both.
Tell hubby, Australia next time!

Becky, congratulations to your sister. It is brilliant that she passed and even better that she has a job so quickly that she loves so much.

Oh, and BTW, pththtfftt (raspberries) to you for your comment at the top of the page, cheeky!!!

Hi everybody,
It has taken me all day [plus numerous interuptions]to catch up on 4 days worth of posts.
I gather I've missed Mama's birthday so happy birthday Mama and anybody else I've missed.
Haven't caught up on 4 days worth of puzzles...that is always a bonus when you have been away... extra puzzles when you have finished the current day.

Gail.. congratulations on the cleaning!!! Is Broni's room ready yet? Still don't know what I'm bringing yet other than a big smile

My connection is soooooooooo SLOW I think that no one will be hearing much from me until we are back up to full speed. It is very time consuming trying to post at this speed!

Spotless MizT...yeah right!
Almost ready Bean, just need to perty it up some...oh, and put sheets on the bed!

BTW Bean, great to have you back.
How was 'the retreat'?

Becky, great news about your sister!!! She'll never be unemployed, AND she'll be doing something she loves....

Gail, remember my theory on clean houses - no one comes! Don't work too hard.

MizT, I'd love some of those peaches! Mostly onto the canned variety now - it's too cold..

Bean, my connection is ALWAYS slow... We keep talking about going wireless (only kind of broadband here)...

Bugger, got logged out, and it takes forever to get back in again!!!
