I told our friend who got the Pinot grapes for us that we will only have 3 1/2 or 4 gallons of wine from these and he said he will check with another vinyard that he takes people to all the time and see if he can get us another 40 or 50 lbs. Woo Hoo. Yep, this will make us officially winos I guess.

that is so cool!

Lisa , Is the whole sail away party on Video somewhere ????

This is Lisa.

Go to www.mousetimes.com and register. You can go to downloads on the far right on the top navigation bar. You then go to DCL. They have the sailaway there. We have it but DH is working on transferring our video to DVD before we can upload it to the computer.

 

[lbgraves]

Nor mine! With just the two of us now (DGS does his own) I can get away with only doing it on Sunday.

When DH was in DC I got away with 2 loads a week for us. Now it is a load a day. OY!

I never crave milk but I do crave a lot of other dairy products like cheese or pudding, etc. When I crave cereal I usually eat it without milk. I think it's more flavorable that way.

I stopped putting milk on my cereal years ago when I left home & got away from dry milk. UGH!!!! Neither of the kids use milk on their cereal either.

 

[lbgraves]

Here you go, Angie!

 

[lbgraves]

Same here. I have a card for every store in this town, as well as reward cards for places like Best Buy, Regal Cinemas, etc... It's a pain trying to search through my purse to find the right one, but I'll do it to save money or get freebies.

All of the places here have the keychain tab...even the public library. That makes it pretty easy to take them out.

 

[lbgraves]

Ok, we have now had two refunds for over $1000, we are losing even more money by being open, agh!

Pj

What in the world did they return????

 

[Bella2000]

I'm trying to use my Palm T/X to keep up while I'm out. It's difficult. DH & DD are in the grocery store...oh no they are back...its pouring rain here.

 

[lbgraves]

It is a pretty day here. The queasiness is all but gone. DD seems to be feeling better. She is playing with her Sweet Streets and singing songs from Twice Charmed. It is 81 outside. DS decided to take a nap. I might join him in a bit. Tomorrow we can get back to life & I will be more like this....

We have a couple of authors in our family. DrHug's sister, Suzanne Proulx, has 4 medical mysteries published. Bad Blood, Bad Medicine, Bad Luck, Declared Dead. She got 5th back from publisher and is reworking it now. Quite a story with her. We did not know she existed until 2002 when DrHug's aunt told him he had a sister that was adopted. (1949 was her birth year). His mom had already passed away. We located the sister thru the wonders of the internet and it was pretty easy to do since she also was looking for us also. Their biological father was not a nice person (that is being kind to him) and their mother was divorcing him when she was pregnant with Suzi. Dennis was 3 turning 4. Bio father was in Terminal Island Prison (military) at the time. In those days there was no aid for dependent children or other welfare assistance. If you could not take care of your children the state took them and put them in an orphanage. So, it seems his mom made the choice to give Suzi a home, parents and love. With the help of her family she was able to take care of Dennis on her own. She had no education and few skills, so she worked as a waitress, etc. Anyway, their mom remarried 2 years later to DrHug's "real" Dad and he adopted DrHug, therefore changing his last name AND his life. So although Suzi's adopted Mom had given her the names of her biological family before she died and told her she has an older brother named Dennis, she was looking for Dennis under their bio father's last name and hitting brick walls. That Dennis no longer existed. Anyway, she lives in Denver has 4 boys, two grandchildren and we have gotten to spend time with her and her family several times since we found her in early 2003. Her books were fun for me to read, knowing the author was special.

What a wild story - that is awesome!

Ohh I can't wait to tell DD. She has always eaten her cereal without milk and she is the only person I have ever known to do that - so she'll think it is cool to know htat she is not alone.

Thank heaven for those keychain versions I would be lost without them. I am so envious that you have it for your library cardss= - that would be awesome!

 

[Bella2000]

Carla, we bought the Acura MDX last friday if you have any questions....


Kim

Lots of questions! I'm jumping around the board because I am so far behind so if you already mentioned specifics just tell me and I'll go read it. What did you like best? It is rainy and cold here so my thoughts on test driving went out the window. It probably would be a good day to go however I am feeling exhausted this morning and getting to the dealer, walking in the rain blah blah - I'm just not up to it.

 

[lbgraves]

I'm not sure which tag I need to post here for you to access this because it is the first video that I have uploaded to photobucket. This is DD before the Golden Mickey's matine last year. I was SHOCKED that she said a word. You just need to click on the picture.

 

[Bella2000]

Blackberry Green Tea Frap no whip... Yummmm

kim

I am tempted to try that - just getting back home - posting using the T/X is very difficult.

 

[lbgraves]

Thank heaven for those keychain versions I would be lost without them. I am so envious that you have it for your library cardss= - that would be awesome!

Since each of the kids have a library card now I had to write their names on the backs of the cards with sharpie.

 

[Bella2000]

Are you thinking of going to Knoebel?

Don't even get me started looking at mapquest from MA Caroline!
