Hi Barbara,
Glad that you found your way back again. This site is harder to figure out then the other one was. You will get the hang of it though. If I did you will and that is for sure. I am terrible with computers.
It was nice that Debra helped you to get back on here.
You have my mouth watering. The Mexican food sound delicious. We all talk about what we ate or what we are going to fix. Adele keeps our mouths watering with all of her baked goods. She is a good baker. She posted that picture of her Boston creme pie. That looks so good. She is teasing us with all the good stuff. lol
Hope that you will keep posting and will talk to you later.

Hi Cynthia,
I like the decorations that you have in front of the house. I guess that is the old house. Those are really cute. We do not do that much we do not have any people that live on our road. We all live so far off the road that no one would see them but us.
It is not Lisa Robertson it is the other Lisa that has Lupus. I think her last name if Mason. She was supposed to be on one of the shows tonight but she was not there. Albany hosted the show instead. Lisa M was a good hostess. So was the other Lisa. Miss them both.
I hope that your pain will lessen as the days go by. Just hang in there and do what you can.

Hi Adele,
I am glad that Marissa could get into two more classes. Hope that they are ones that she wanted to take. We do not have to worry about colleges until after next year. My oldest granddaughter does not graduate until 2018. She cannot make up her mind what she wants to do.Every time she thinks she has an idea my daughter tries to talk her out of it. She is going to have to start thinking about it now and so if there are any classes she has to take she can take them now. Her mom never thinks.
I only have one daughter that is sort of available right now. She is the one that is pregnant. To me she is available until he puts a ring on her finger she is available.lol The other two are married.
We found another copper head in our yard last night. Biskit found it and barked and carried on until Ron went outside and killed it. It was under our deck until Biskit ran it out. She stays far enough away that she does not get bit. Ron said that it had its head raised like it was ready to strike but could not reach her. Ron beat it with a baseball bat. It was a good thing we found it instead of one of the kids. They would not have known what to do except to stay away from it.
It has been raining here so our hot and muggy weather is supposed to be clearing out. I hope that they are right. It is going to be a lot cooler the end of the week and next week. They said we are supposed to get more of the fall weather.
Your house is going to look so cute with all of the decorations up. I bet that your house attracts a lot of people during the holidays. Do you decorate the outside as much as you do the inside? We like to go around and look at all the holiday decorations they are always so cute and make you cheer up.
I am so glad to see that Barbara has found us. She is such a sweet lady. I have friended her also but she has not found it yet. Hope she does so we can talk to her privately if we want.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night and have fun decorating.

Hi Gail,
That thing posted mid sentence. I will try again. Well all of my things from the q have shipped. I just wonder how long it will take me to get them. They sure are slow around here. I cannot wait to get the dj. I did end up ordering the two tops. I hope that they go well with the what I have. I am thinking about selling some of my old quacker. I am getting a lot that I do not wear anymore. So it needs to go.
Kaylee has not started yet. They do not start until the middle of the month. I guess they wait until they get all of the other kids settled in and then they start pre school. I cannot wait to hear how she does when she starts.
That is good that Lisa is traveling. She needed to do something to unwind after all the time she spent on the q. I hope that she has someone to travel with. It would be hard to travel alone. I guess there has always been someone around to travel with around here it would be hard not to have someone. Someone asked if she was going to marry Dennis Basso. I do not think that is going to happen. I wish I could remember who asked me that. I could write and tell her that Lisa is traveling. It is funny how these rumors start.
Well that is about all from here. I need to get a life and do something besides hibernate in the house. This heat really gets to me though. Have a good day and stay out of the heat as much as you can.

Hi Gail,
The baby is a girl. I am so excited about it. She did not say one way or the other about how she felt. I think that Kevin wanted a boy but he will take what he gets. He has no choice. I am not sure how he feels about it. He probably is just as happy about it as the rest of us. I am not sure but Danyielle may not have been feeling good when I talked to her. She will never say until you just really make her. She has always been like that.
It would be nice if the heat would just go away for the year. They say that we are supposed to get some rain and then it will cool down again. I sure hope that they are right. I am tired of all the heat.
Well all of my things from the

Hi Gail,
When we went outside to play ball they made the girls and boys play together. It was our exercise time and they were going to make sure that we got our exercise. The nuns stood right there and watched us. So nothing went on that they did not see. Sometimes it would be nice if they went back to watching out for the kids more and not just let them do what they wanted.
There is a show on the q tomorrow that is supposed to have Lisa on it. I was not sure if that is who they meant or if it was someone else. I wonder if she is doing some fill in for the people that are on vacation. Did you read that Carolyn Gracie is coming back on Tuesday. It will be nice to see her again. She was lucky that she could take the summer off and recuperate. I like her she is a good host. They have a lot of good ones on there now. I really feel like I am getting old when a new host comes on there it takes me awhile to get use to them. I wonder what the other Lisa is doing now. I hope that she found something that suits her.
I know what you mean about a bad back. It is hard to know what to do sometimes for it. They say that riding in a car is one of the worse things that you can do for your back. If you drive a long distance. Adele has probably had all kinds of advice about what to do and not to do by her back doctor also. I hope that yours start to feel better soon. As hot as it was this week-end we were all better off staying in the house. Ron did bbq today but did it early so he would not get that hot outside. Everything turned out pretty good.
I am sick of all the internet stuff also. They forget about people that do not want to do the face book thing and all of that. My granddaughters were trying to explain hash tag to me today. It did not make sense to me at all. I told them to forget it. They were giving me a head ache.lol They were talking about twitter also. I just shut them out and did something else. There is not way that I would do any of that.
That is funny how all the boys would stop and watch you walk across the school yard. They needed to get out more.lol
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night. Hope that you back feels better tomorrow.

Hi Barbara,
I hope that you get this. We are so glad that you found us. We have been thinking about you and wondering when you would find us. Do not feel bad we all had a little trouble when we first started on here. They are really good about helping you if you have trouble.
I am glad to hear that Jerry is doing better. Your dinner sounded really good. We did bbq today but Ron did it early so we would not be out in the really hot weather. My daughter and her family came over for dinner and it was just her family. I have not idea what the other two were doing today.
This is weird the print is small and then when you post it gets bigger. I do not know why it is like that. They must not realize that we are older and do not see as well as we use to. lol I guess this is just another thing that we will have to get use to. Maybe they will change it as they go along. They are still working out the bugs.
Hope to see you on here again soon,
Colleen

Hi Adele,
You have hit on one of my favorite foods. Boston creme pie. That is so good and I like all the gooey stuff between the layers. Now that one really made my mouth water. I love all the baked goods that you make but that one is my favorite. I have not had a good piece of that in a long time. They do not make that here that often anymore. They use to do not know why they quit.
Good for you. It could not be your fault that you are clenching your teeth it has to be Gary. It is always the husband.lol If they would just learn that we are always right and do what we say that would stop all of our problems. tell Gary that I said happy birthday.
The meal that Bobby is making sounds so good. You are going to have to send him here for awhile so he can cook some meals and I can freeze them.lol You could send a Boston Creme pie with him or you could come with him and make one here. That would just make the meal complete. You could make more baked goods if you would like we can freeze those also.lol I do not ask too much do I.
Stick your pillow in the car so you do not forget it. I take one with me all the time so if we stop somewhere and I will need it, it is there. If I had to remember to bring it with me I would never remember. It really does help or at least it helps me.
I hope that when Marissa goes to school tomorrow they can straighten her classes out. That is a mess. I am sure that the guidance councler will help her out. I wonder why they did not get that fixed before school started. they do some dumb things for being college professors.
We did not go to the picnic Sunday. It was so hot you could not stand to go out the door. We are supposed to have some more rain and then it will cool down for the year. I hope that they are right. It will be nice for the weather to stay under 90 for awhile. I think that the highs will only get into the middle 80′ at the highest.
Hope you have a good night will talk to you later.
