Hey, Tampa Anna: I hope to get LOLS based on pics I took today up to the Northwest of us, in the San Joaquin Valley & the Carrizo lain, where the San Andreas Fault is really visible. There ARE SO MANY incredible fields of flowers up there. One thing I am grateful for, being on the "Left Coast". Today it seemed we were encountering entire LAKES of blue that turned out to be huge flower fields. YOIKZ. The OMG Cat was GAPING!

Well, enjoy. I may have trouble keeping track and might repeat myself.

Thank you. I love budgies, but I don't trust myself with such small pets.

but water... We aren't even addressing windows, sills, baseboards, carpet, sinks, toilets, mirrors, or anything above floor level... 3500 sq ft! Next house is one stinking room! <sorry> Easter is next and cleaning begins tomorrow and her family lacks common manners... The type that "double dips" regardless of how eats are arranged and drops with out picking up... I don't mean lil spills, whole shrimp, chips, vegitables... So I'll need to do an after Easter cleaning too. *banging head on keyboard*

I do "the duty" during the day here, Mrs. does at night, so Chance gets all day litter removal. We keep an eye on pee's to see how his diabetes is daily... I didn't know you had a fall, but yes, I had weakness in my left leg and knee. If I bent the left too much I knew I'd fall. After experiencing nerve damage I was very concerned and why I joined a gym post PT... OMG, "envy" *Shocked smilie face* I abhore mopping. I hurt for days after or I'd at least have pride in a job well done... I do enjoy rocking out, but chose my standard am talk, a break for Beck, than finishing. Most of our house has travertine tile floors, the entire downstairs, except the guest room and my office and the stairs. Upstairs, two bathrooms, one is as large as our kitchen, but the same tile. So, I must move all furnishings, sweep to get up litter, vacuum to insure I get it all plus cat fur, and dust, then mop certain areas so I have room for dining chairs and small stuff, then just mop till clean using nothing b

Yes, that's exactly why he goes from the east side to upstairs and west side. We've been going out much more since it's warmer, plus he needs to check his new cat nip both morning and evening... I wish I had pictures of my glass, but I did glass before digital, but if we go thru our pics and I find them, I'll scan and send. I only have one of my bead/loom work so far. I had a barrett nearly finished before loosing my magnifying lamp in our move here. I uploaded that beading pic here, but will email it as it's larger in emeow... Like your remodel, my mosaic may remain a dream too. We planed on building a bar and bar-b-q, but now lack funds... Our plan was to add an outdoor room, install french doors from the dining area, complete with fireplace, entertainment center to tie together the pool area and the side yard. I'd also like to cover the pool with a glass room so it could be used all year, plus act as a green house...

Naturally, to build a financial reserve plan I need two bids, one for painting HOA fences, another to repave our two private driveways. Monday I pick up a measuring wheel to ascertain the sq footage, fill out the web page and then receive a "free bid" then the painting contractor for the painting cost bid. After that, the bidding process begins. :) *Can Do!* Chance's numbers were good. Blood sugar a bit high and adjusted for and his thyroid is normal, so no more pills. He did fine with the trip, no hiding and has two cat nips in his garden to go with his cat mint nearly killed by snails & slugs. I do have Sluggo out, but the rains washed it away and it has to be reapplied, as it is pet safe...

The tower house a couple of the painting studios and the view was spectacular from the full length windows. There was no security to speak of except for the photo studio, sculpture and printmaking studios where there was either vlauable equipment or chemicals, but as soon as the instructors or grad students knew you were a serious student they showed you how to break into the studios and store areas. People who wanted to go out for midnight food would go into the ground floor sculpture studios, unlock a window, and crawl back through when they got back just in case the outer door props got knocked loose. Oh those were the days. I spent one hated semester in the new building.....bleah....and you couldn't open the windows or crawl out on the roof.

In 1971 I got a workstudy job in the art school coffee lounge. Really easy, make sure the coffee urns don't run out, refill the tea bags and Swiss Miss hot chocolate packets....sugar, creamer....keep the donut boxes in semi respectable order...and you could spend the rest of the time reading your art history asignments. Those days I took my coffee very sweet with lots of creamer.....this was before the photoography studio labtech convinced me that if I wanted real caffeine instead of vending machine swill, without leaving the art school, that I would drink my coffee black....and if necessary without sugar. Anyway, I accidently used coffee instead of the hot water for my cocoa one morning....and usually drank that until I became a black coffee adict a year later. Funny how all nighters quickly change your perspective. I LOVED that old building. It had a Tiffany lamp and pewabic tile in the lobby floor, three regular storries topped with a two story tower that housed a couple of t

Lol, going to write about my mochalatte discovery back in undergrad school....and right up at the top of the page is gramawgs asking if I recommend Ginger tea....heartily for stomach upsets and for creating heat in the body for many reasons. For muscular aches and pains, some cider vinegar and liquid (as in tea) or leaf comfrey about 1/4 to a standard hot bathtub....or Arnica Oil made by Welleda. They add a little wintergreen or other mentholatum source to the oil. It is wonderful soothing solution to bumps, bruises and muscle pain.

the ginger tea cant' hurt and it's good for your digestion. Maybe you heard this from Tookat? I buy the crystallized ginger and chew on that after dinner and have added hot water to drink it too. I also sometimes add the essential oil to my bath. You could rub that on the ouchy places. Not straight from the bottle. Got to go. I'm almost falling off the chair asleep.

gluten free pancakes. says it serves 4 but I don't believe it. 3/4 c buttermilk, 1 egg, 1 tbsp canola oil, 1/2 c tapioca flour, 1/4 c cornmeal, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/8 t salt. Ok , i'm sure you know what to do with it.
