Hi, all!

Goodness - there must be something exciting going on, as you guys have posted 24 pages since I last checked the thread at 6 p.m. CST! No time to catch up now, but I hope whatever it is has been fun!

Just wanted to quickly post, so I can see my new signature. Once again, Queen Kate has outdone herself - I it! Thank you so much, Kate!!!!!!

Thanks so much for the PM's wondering where I've been the last couple of days. Unfortunately, I'm on my schedule of working 12-15 hour days with not an end in sight anytime soon. The new assistant isn't working out very well so far, but I'm still persisting with the plan to go on my Kauai trip. I think I'm going to need it more for my sanity by that time than anything else!

Know that I'm reading along, and will post and comment as I can. My thoughts, pixie dust, and prayers are still here, though!

Goodnight all - I hope your Wednesday is a great one!

I Wanna Be Like You

Now I'm the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle VIP
I've reached the top and had to stop
And that's what botherin' me
I wanna be a man, mancub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around!

 

[tinker1bell]

Goodnight John boy, goodnight Sue Ellen, Good night everyone.

Off to work on my when flat bigger than a bread box SSP.

a quilt about the DDA?

I've got a few pages to catch up on, but I thought you might like to see what I've been up to the last couple of days. My job for the travelin' Pals was to make them blankets. I did that yesterday and had a bit of material left that I thought would make cute sleep pants. I tried to find a pattern last night, but no luck in the 10" size for boy dolls. I ended up creating my own today and made these sleep pants. I need to locate more material in my basement in order to send a pair of pants and a pair of shorts with each one. These are what I have done so far.

Different Pattern in both pants and shorts

Deb

Very cute.

 

[Eeyorecln]

Thanks, me too! I've been looking for cute hot air balloon prints but haven't been able to find any yet.

I'll keep an eye out for you. I know I've seen some before.

Hi Everyone!! We got back into town Sunday afternoon from our trip to the Southwest. We had a really great trip and loved everything that we did and saw. I can't believe I am over 400 pages behind, so there is absolutely no way I can catch up. Can anyone provide a summary of the last 12 days or so?

Our trip took us to Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Bryce Canyon, Zion, and back to Las Vegas. Everything was perfect, until I threw my back out on the way home in the Chicago airport. So my back is killing me and it is hard to sit at the computer. I went to the chiropractor today, and it actually was way worse after. I had to call my DH to drive me home it hurt so bad.

Also I have offered to make autograph books for a co-worker who is leaving Sat. for a WDW trip. His daughters are 3 and 1 (celebrating her b-day while there). I hope I can do it in time, with all the catching up I need to do, and with the back problem everything is more difficult.

I will be trying to keep up again... I hate not being able to read all the old posts.

I wish I could say I am glad to be back, but vacation was a lot more fun than coming home to work, housework, back pains etc.

Ellen

Hope your back feels better soon. Welcome back.

Hi DDA! I have a whole lot of pages to catch up on, but I got the following in an email today and thought I would share, since it is sort of the way the DDA is - touching each other's lives.

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was
walking home from school.

His name was Kyle.

It looked like he was carrying all of his books.

I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?

He must really be a nerd."

I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends
tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.

As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him.

They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so
he landed in the dirt.

His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet
from him.

He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes

My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around
looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye.

As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks.

They really should get lives.

" He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!"

There was a big smile on his face.

It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.

I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived.

As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him
before.
He said he had gone to private school before now.

I would have never hung out with a private school kid before.

We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books.

He turned out to be a pretty cool kid.

I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends

He said yes.

We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked
him, and my friends thought the same of him.

Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again.

I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious
muscles with this pile of books everyday!"

He just laughed and handed me half the books.

Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.

When we were seniors, we began to think about college.

Kyle decided on Georgetown , and I was going to Duke.

I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a
problem.

He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football
scholarship.

Kyle was valedictorian of our class.

I teased him all the time about being a nerd.

He had to prepare a speech for graduation.

I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak
Graduation day, I saw Kyle.

He looked great.

He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school.

He filled out and actually looked good in glasses.

He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him.

Boy, sometimes I was jealous.

Today was one of those days.

I could see that he was nervous about his speech.

So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!"

He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and
smiled.

"Thanks," he said.

As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began

"Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those
tough years.

Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your
friends...

I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift
you can give them.

I am going to tell you a story."

I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first
day we met.

He had planned to kill himself over the weekend.

He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to
do it later and was carrying his stuff home.

He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile.

"Thankfully, I was saved.

My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."

I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us
all about his weakest moment.

I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile.

Not until that moment did I realize it's depth.

Never underestimate the power of your actions.

With one small gesture you can change a person's life.

For better or for worse.

That is so sweet.

I'd have to check with our resident Historian before I make my next statement, but I've never had a milestone!!! Maybe some day I'll get one. Is there anybody else who hasn't gotten a milestone yet??

I've never had one. But I'm not on here consistently enough to be around when we hit a milestone.

But, a girl can dream..........
