I canNOT believe this... I had the most beautiful, touching, wonderful 1st post to this new thread and "POOF!" -- it's gone!

Maybe it's the cyber-world telling me it's time to get to bed... good night, my lovelies!!

Terry,

Do what you can for Evan and the rest is up to him -- I know you know this, just a friendly reminder.

And then, ENJOY the weekend and relax!!

Have a great one Violets!!

The wedding was wonderful. Skies cleared up enough to let them do their vows outdoors, and it was beautiful. The groom (my boy) could not control his emotions, he cried when he saw her, and later during his toast to his bride, he told her he was just overcome with emotion to realize he would have her as his wife forever. Was not a dry eye in the house I don't think. Kinsey was in awe over "our bride"--she thought she was "the most beautiful girl ever!" She and Ray --Becky's grandson, complete in black tux with tails---danced, and held hands all over the place! They were adorable! But the highlight of her night was the bride dancing with her!! I would have loved to have gotten her picture tho during the garter ceremony!

They had Cory remove the garter with his teeth---and on the other side of the dance floor, Manda was standing behind a chair with Kinsey standing in the chair in front of her watching the bouquet be tossed, and then the garter. Well Cory is down on one knee, and he is searching for the garter---and he dives under her dress---actually rather modestly, but the look on Kinsey's face was PRICELESS!!! She did the big "O" with her mouth and jerked around to look at her Mommy like 'what in the hell is he doing?' kind of look, it was hilarious!!!

The event center they had the wedding at was gorgeous!!! Not fancy, but classy in a rustic kind of way. Colorado mountains....hard to beat. The website does not do it justice, it is www.bluelakeranch.com I believe. Gives you an idea, but the enormity of the actual place is not even close in the pictures. The rain had everything green. It was so nice.

We just got home, and I am leaving before 6 in the morning, so I better get to bed, and try to sleep. I think I have enough warm clothes and rain gear packed.....if not, that is what the vendors are for I guess!!!

Y'all have a great weekend, and I'll see ya after the rally.

hugs

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JANIE!!! Hope you have a great day!

Having a wonderful time in Canada. Off to the farmer's market to get some mango chutney, then off to Niagra to shop and sight see. Everyone have a great day!!

Thanks Judy and Kat,

That place looks so peaceful and beautiful!! How long of a drive is it from your house?

I'm out of the pool, for a little while.

We went to a graduation party for our old next door neighbor. They moved away about 10 years ago but we have kept in touch with them. Had a great time. I did real good on my eating. I brought a piece of grad cake home and pretended it was birthday cake for Janie.

Jane, Hope you had a wonderful day.

Back to the pool now.

Good Eve, Dearies,

Suzie, your day sounds divine! Floating, partying, floating! :wink2:

The kids had soccer + horseback riding today... then I had to work (I need to get ahead of the game for next week)... & now I'm preparing a honkin' cookout... burgers, dogs, coleslaw, exploded potatoes, sauteed onions & mushrooms, bacon, cheese, corn on the cob... mmmmmmmmmmmm.... I'm done my part, now DH needs to get a-grillin'! We're going to eat outside on the patio... we hardly ever use it... but each year we vow that we will... & the kids love it... so maybe this year is THE year!

Enjoy whatever it is you're doing!!

Michelle, it was a great day and I enjoyed it. I hope everyone had as nice a day as I have had.

I now must confess, I did NOT respect the pouch.

Oh Well. :wink2:

Happy Birthday Janie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes!

Had a busy day at work, was by myself and booked so that is always kind of hectic.

Then went to mom and dads and my mom and I went shopping. Two things I learned tonight.

Good--I had to show my license and the women said I had really lost a lot of weight and look much better now. Made me feel good since I am struggling.....

Not so good--I am totally out of shape. My mom uses a wheelchair and my dad said are you sure you can get it out of the trunk twice, I said sure if a 75 year old man can wheel my mom around I can lift it out of the trunk two times. Well I did it, but wow am I ever out of shape!!!!!!!!! I am totally pooped from walking all over with my mom in a wheelchair!!!

Tomorrow we are seeing "A Chorus Line" my parents are taking me out to brunch for my birthday.

I might buy a car on Monday, anybody have any words of wisdom on a Toyota Yaris?

Oh well off for the night to see all my purchases from shopping!

If you wake up in a red room with no windows and doors, DON'T panic.. you're just in my heart!!! Send this to all the friends you want to keep forever...

Hey Violets~

Happy Birthday Janie!!! You rock and I am sorry I missed it all day!

Well, I am gradumacated!!!It was a beautiful day...everyone made it in and I couldn't have asked for a better time! I put some pix up on Facebook...and if you don't have FB, I can email to ya...but, I never figured out how to resize or whatever, and I've uploaded pix from 3 other cameras. They are cute pix though...just put up a few!

Love ya!!xoxoxoxo

Yay, Dr. Jazzy! You did it!!

Now, are you sure there isn't ANOTHER level of schooling you can master? :w00t:

Yes, yes, please e-mail me the pics!! I've just GOT to see this honkin' cold sore!! :eek:

I'm just a riot today, huh? Is that what I call it?

Today will be pretty much the same as yesterday... soccer, work, etc... am starting to make a "to pack for Cali" pile of clothes, + getting my house/lists in order for the fam for while I'm gone... makes me more exciteder by the day!!! :wink2:

Enjoy the day, everyone!!

Congrats Pamela!!!!!!

Did you have an annoucement that you can post on Facebook? I have never seen one for a Doctorate before!! Maybe they don't have them? That is so neat, and SUCH an accomplishment!!!

Well I hope everyone is having a great weekend, and I hope veryone is enjoying and relaxing with the time off. Especially you Terry, you have been on my mind a lot. Hope all is going well!!!
