Hey Mary! How's the scrapping going?
Pretty good, I've gotten about 10 pages done. I got here around 12:00, but by the time we got unpacked, went shopping and then got dinner done, I worked around all that. I am getting sleepy.

No Stephie..................I grew up in an 80s that was more like the 40s............

Hi Mary :wave2:
Hey Paige, I was surprised to see you still on tonight, but then I remembered that you are a couple of hours behind me. So you still a couple of hours to hang out.
 
paigevz said:
OH NOW I am JEALOUS...................we had no fast food of any kind. Wouldn't have mattered though, my dad didn't let us buy processed food or fast food.


Dh had to drive 45 minutes to get to fast food (or a grocery store) while growing up. They really were the middle of no where. He even had to drive 35 minutes to get to school from middle school up.

He still talks about how lucky our kids are to get to eat out. While he was growing up they didn't have much. His dad was a farmer with three kids and his mom was a stay at home mom (and then went back to teaching once all of the kids were in school full time). So they never really had any money. They would save up and go out to Pizza Hut (almost an hour away) once every few months. His parents still live on a gravel road...and my dh still gets tickled to death that we can afford to wrap the boy's Christmas gifts. When he was little they didn't get them wrapped (no money for wrapping paper, it was either that or the gifts).

Or so he tells the stories...sometimes I wonder if he had to walk uphill both ways to school in a blizzard without shoes too! ;) :rolleyes:

No they finally settled down, but oh what a mess. There is always one who wants to make life miserable for everyone.

A Nikon Coolpix.....it is tiny
How many pixels does it have? I love cameras. :) One of my weaknesses. I own four that were all purchased within in the last 5 years. It is a bad bad habit.
 
Well Paige, Jay and Mary.....I am nodding off sitting here, so I think I will head to bed......

Is that do-able for you? How far are you from Dallas? Why are you going to the hospital? Is everything ok?

When we went to stay the summers with our aunts and grandma we got all the usual stuff..............

When we were little, little and dad was in business and mom stayed home, we had all that stuff, we lived in suburbia.

But we went to visit grandma one day and dad called up there and toldmom to stop by this tiny OK town and register us kids in school, he'd bought a store there. We lived in the projects the first 2 years before we moved to the farm.

Mom got double pneumonia, then dad had a stroke. When he came home, he was different. No patience, terrible temper........no tolerance for play. Changed our lives..................
