Mary..

So sorry for your friend's loss/damage. That's terrible!!!! What are they planning on doing now?

On the brighter side...congrats on the strawberries, they look great...and, who is the model in the blue dress?!?! Your daughter looks very nice. Looks like a nice event.

WOW. Tornadoes are everywhere these days it seems. Its a shame your friends lost their house MJ. Hopefully they have good insurance to help them out.

The prom pics are great. Love the dress.

Ok, wasn't sure if the Blizzard discussion would still be going on once I got through the last 10 pages, but my favorite is French Silk. Some earlier referred to DQ as ice cream. Technically, isn't it custard? I forget.

No it's Ice Cream, it's Culvers (if you have those) that has Custard. Both scrumptious, but the Blizzard is the best!!

Erika...did you get you car reserved yet..if so what did you finally get???? If not, let me know if I can help in any way!!!

Oh yeah, several of them LOL. Full, Premium and Standard SUV I think. I can't decide LOL!!

Hello to everyone! I have not had the time to get caught up but noticed Erika's post about the weather in Minn. over the weekend.

Our weekend at the lake was wonderful but we returned to the cities to terrible news. Our dear friend, her husband and 2 1/2 year old daughter lost everything in the tornado in Hugo (an hour from Erika). They made it to the basement and clung to the hot water heater. Basically their two-story house is gone. Their little girl had just gotten up from a nap and all she had on was a pull-up. They've lost everything - even my friend's heirloom wedding ring which was in a dish by the kitchen sink. It is just devastating.

We've been sending books and toys for the little one and people have been wonderful to this family. Keep them and all the other families who have lost so much in your prayers.

On a lighter note, prom was a blast and thanks to Candy, the tuxedo strawberries were a huge hit. I'll post pictures when I get to them.

We are planning to head up to the tornado area Saturday to help with clean-up. I'm still shaken by the news..

OMG Mary, that is so awful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My friend lost half of her house in Rogers a couple years back, but hers did not look nearly as bad as that, and they suprisingly didn't lose that much. I wish I could get out there and help, but I have family obligations this weekend.

On the brighter side, the prom pictures are gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Guys.....how is everyone....though I would pop in and say hello and try to get a bit caught up with the thread.....good luck on finding the WII fit....I heard so many places are backordered.

Our son bought the Wii system and we all use it at home and we wanted to buy the Wii fit but DS just told us he is moving out in June and taking the Wii with him!!! So, no need to buy the Wii fit now!!! LOL!!! The first of my baby birds to leave the nest...sad and excited at the same time !!!!

Anyway...some excitement in the town I work in....they are filming a scene from a movie down the street today....the movie is called Julie and Julia about the life of Julia Child and the woman who vowed to make everyone of her recipes from her French cookbook......and......Meryl Streep is on set today!! how cool....not that I will be able to get down and watch but still cool she is right down the street from where I work (Nyack, NY).

On another note.....have been having pain in my arm for months plus very limited range of motion and movement in that arm......finally got it checked out....seems I have frozen shoulder syndrome or shoulder something capsulitis???? Doc says it happens to middle aged women and physical therapy should help but now I have to start going for therapy 2 or 3 times a week.....

Oh well....as long as it gets better before the cruise!!!

Back to work...have a good day everybody......anyone catch the thread about meets threads being too personal over on the main board.....getting a bit heated!!!

TTFN

HI MJ!!!!! so happy to hear from you! and sorry to hear about the pain you're having in your arm!! I hope the therapy will help you
how exciting about your son moving out too, but I'm sure you will miss him alot!

Hi Candy, Hi Kristin! Just back from buying flowers, now I have to work. I would have rather just worked and gotten it over with, but he likes me to help pick them out.

DD is unlocking all sorts of stuff on the Wii fit after school. Today she unlocked some level of the stepper that lets you keep the beat with the Wiimote and then you can step while you watch TV. She was quite pleased with that LOL.
