I'm glad you posted this! I am trying Spoodles for the first time the day I arrive on Oct21stI love salmon, so maybe this is what I'll try. Any suggestions for an appetizer or dessert?

It did not sound like she was in imminent danger, but she does have a blood clot in her groin area. That can be very dangerous, but she is getting treatment to dissolve it. I called and talked with my uncle and he sounded so very tired. My cousin said he was at his door at 5 am this morning with the dog for them to watch. He has over a 3 hour drive from his house to my cousin's so I know he was on the road before 2 am. I told him he needs to get over to the hotel and get some rest and then get a fresh start with the docs in the morning. He said he would do that.....I hope he did. Prayer for them too please.
Sandy:
I loved your story. We saw the Flying Tigers and LOVED the musuem. Such a touching story. A part of our US history that I didn't even know about. How proud to have your dad be part of that greatness. My sister bought a piece of artwork from their museum of the Yangzee River, we crusied down it for 4 days. We saw the warriors...I have my own theory, a bit like a Disney discovery if you ask melucky we got to do Hong Kong disney too. Our friend is from Chongqing saw some pandas too, but it was raining and we didn't think it was such a great experience. the pandas at San Deigo Zoo look in much better place than those in China.
Noel, thank you so much for your heart felt words. I know you are close in distance and heart to us and even sharing the news with my mom that we have another friend that has a house at the lake has been good for us.
oh, I just thought of a question, have you had any problems with bats up there? We have a big investation, I have a quote from one person to rid, but I need to get another, do you have any body you would recommend for that kind of stuff up there?
off to see The Kingdom tonight, our dear neighbor is giving us a babysitting night with the kids, so we're freeeeeee!!!!! can't wait!
We have gotten bad news here this evening. My brother's wife is not expected to survive the night....without a miracle. She fell over 3 months ago, lay with her leg under her for hours with the circulation cut off. My brother got her up when he got home and by morning the leg was not looking good. They got her to the hospital and she was sent by life flight to Seattle. Her leg eventually had to be amputated, and it seemed she was doing ok except for an infected bed sore on her back. My dear sweet brother was able to stay with her for the first 2 weeks then had to go back to work to pay the bills. He was spending his 2 days off driving the 5 hours to spend some time with her. This afternoon he got a call saying her heart was "doing funny stuff" to quote him, her breathing is labored and her kidneys have been shutting down for the last few days. They have moved her to intensive care again and told him needs to get there ASAP. My niece who was just here visiting this weekend is driving him over and their other children are also on their way. I am just so sad for him. They are the only couple we know that are more devoted to each other than we are. He absolutely adores her. He told me early on that without her there is no reason for him to live. Although I know he will keep going on, I also know he will be lost and I don't know how to help him. All prayers for them will be appreciated.
Then I also got a call that my favorite uncle is at the hospital in Spokane with his wife. She too is in intensive care. They are in their 80's and married only 3 years. They are just so cute and in love.
So I left the vice principal a voice mail and email letting him know I need to talk to him about Star Testing. I am SO bummed that they changed the timing to be the week of May 12. I have no idea what will happen. Truly, to miss the testing would be ideal as then we wouldn't have as much make-up homework. But I don't know if they will "let" us miss it. Our school is very open to traveling during the school year. Some families take their kids out for 3 weeks to make a trip to China or somewhere. It's just the Star testing that puts a twist to this. I always thought it would be the week before our cruise so we'd be in good shape.
I figure the sooner I try to make alternative arrangements, the better chance I have. I'm just not sure how they handle this....So scared...

Marilyn,
Sorry it didn't turn out like you were hoping.I haven't had a crock pot for years. I had one when I was first married, but was afraid to leave it plugged in while I was at workKind of defeated the purpose of having one! One day I went to check on my meal and one of the rubber "feet" had melted right down and the counter was hot
Kathe
Good job you were home that day.

Happy Anniversary Lisa!!
We were planning to go to DL this weekend, but it is too crowded and we can't get ressies... So we are going to go to our place in Bodega Bay also at the beach, for a lovely weekend! (I hope!)
Have a great week and a great weekend!
