Hi Gail,
We had to go out on the playground and play ball for exercise. They did not separate us back then when we were in grade school. We did not have a gym and we just played on the playground. The nuns did not play they just watched and made sure that no trouble started. The nuns really had a lot of control of all of us. It is funny how they could handle a big group of kids and not have a problem. Times are changing. Teachers sometimes cannot control a small group of kids.
I have not tried the Skechers yet. I may have to give them a try. I thought it was just me with the vionic shoes. They do rub a spot on my foot and it really hurts. So it is easier not to wear them. I wish that I could find someone that can wear them and like them. It was just a waste of money. I need to get me some Rykas for this winter. I have all the boots that I need but I need some sneakers. Birkenstock did have a lot of different shoes when they were on. I wonder why they left QVC. They always seemed to sell a lot of shoes on there. Did you notice that the girl that was so wild is now working at the q again with a different shoe company. I cannot remember the name of the shoes. It is Earth brand? I always liked her she was wild.
The pictures of the animals in costume was cute. They always come up with some good ideas on face book. I just wish they would do it on the QVc site once in awhile. Then we could all join in. I guess face book is taking over but I still will not give in. That is one thing that I am not interested in. Now they have hash tag and twitter. I have no idea how to do that and do not think that I want to know. I am content just coming on here and chatting. It is strange what all people put on face book. I would be embarrassed.
It is so hot today that we decided not to go to the picnic. The humidity is really high also. So we are staying in the air conditioning. I guess that is a good place for young people that can still stand the heat. We will bbq tomorrow and that will be the only thing that we do this week-end.
That is about all from here. Have a good day.

Hi Cynthia,
I am sorry to hear that you are in so much pain. I would not worry about my figure right now. Just concentrate on getting well enough to get out of that wheel chair. Some things are just now worth worrying about. Your health and being able to get around again is a lot more important. The other stuff you can worry about later.
My husband would still say that he was not snoring. He would say that it was me. It is kind of a joke between us. He denies that he snores and he just laughs. He knows that he does there is just not much he can do about it. I do not want him to go thru a surgery to stop snoring.
Hope that you are having a good week-end. Will you husband be home so you two can bbq or something? It would be nice if he could be home.
Well have a nice night will talk to you later.
Colleen

Hi Adele,
You should take a pillow with you for your back. It helps to keep it from getting as sore. I take one when I go and the people in the restaurants are always really nice about it. We go to a bbq place where they have picnic tables but when we go in there they make sure that we have a table with chairs. I have to have a back to a chair that I sit in. Most places are really nice about things like that.
I am going to sell them. They are doing no good hanging in the closet. Just have to talk to my daughter about helping me. I am not good with the computer so it will be better if she does it. I have some of the ward robers that I am going to sell. I cannot wear them anymore and so might as well get them out of the closet. Since I have been sick my weight is going down and so some of my clothes are too big. I put off getting rid of them because of the fact I could gain the weight back. But the way things are going I probably will not. I have to be so picky about what I eat now.
Glad that you got some compliments on your outfit. It is always nice when someone tells you they like your shirt. This has just started happening to me here lately. Usually when I am at my mom’s. I guess they have a lot of quackers there.
Do you have any plans for this week-end? We are going to the labor day picnic tomorrow for a little while unless it is really hot. Then we may just go and pick up the snack food we like that they have there and come home. Then we are having a bbq on Monday with my daughter and her family. We should have a really good time. Mandy is the daughter with the two older girls. Then the week-end will be over. It seems like time is flying by.
I hope that things go okay for you at the dentist. that is one place that I do not like to go to. Enjoy the rest of your week-end.

Hi Gail,
Weren’t those gym suits horrible. We looked like geeks. We also did not have gym the same time as the boys. They had to have theirs at a different time and we could not be on the field when they were and vice a versa. I do not know what they thought would happen. There was no threat of any boy coming after us in those stupid outfits.lol Guess they just wanted to be cautious. Heaven only knows why.
I do wear the capris dj and some of the other styles. What do they call them I cannot remember. They are shorter then the capris are they pedal pushers? I even wore them out of the house because it was so hot and to hot for dj. I am excited about the the color of dj that I got this time around. I cannot believe that I bought two pair. One in indigo of course and then the wine. I like that they are straight leg. Just hope that they look okay on my. I got the short this time also.
We are thinking about going to the labor day picnic tomorrow. They have it all week-end. Monday Mandy and her family are coming for a bbq so we will stay home that day. Today we did not do anything. It is just too hot. It may be too hot to go walk around at the picnic tomorrow also. We will have to wait and see. I just want to get some of those twisted potatoes with the cheese. They are so good. Ron wants his funnel cake also. We may just get those two things and come home.
That is a shame that Greg did not get to go out in his boat that much this summer. That should be interesting trying to get that boat out of the water. I have never done that before but I imagine it will be hard for you to do. Maybe Adam will help Greg with that. You could all go for a last ride and them bring it in for the winter.
I thought that they were going to announce it the day of the falloween show. I have not seen anywhere they are going to do the drawing.That was really nice that they gave Jane a hat. She does such a good job on that show. Don’t they usually do a live show for that? I guess they did it early so they did not have time to get a live audience. It was a fun show. I had to watch it later in the evening Ron did not want to watch it.
I have not tried the Alegria shoes yet but have tried the Vionic. I have had trouble with the Vionic. I really wish that I would not have wasted my money. I would not buy another pair. they bother my feet. So do not wear them that often. At first I thought I would like them but after you wear them for awhile they start to hurt your feet. They do not break in easy. I am with on the Ryka’s and the Birki’s are so much better. I need a new pair of the Birkis mine are wearing out. Guess we will have to find another place to buy them.
Well that is about all from here. Enjoy the rest of the week-end.

Hi Gail,
The butterfly shirt is a pretty. I am glad that you got it. I am still deciding what shirts that I want. That takes me awhile still. I am glad that I bought the dj. They are so cute and hope to get the wine ones soon. The indigo ones have already shipped. I could not believe it. They are getting faster about shipping things.
We wore jumpers in grade school but skirts and blouses in high school. We also had to wear the bloomer gym outfits. Talk looking really stupid we did in those things. I do not know how long it took them to change them to normal gym clothes. That high school is closed now and is all run down.
Maybe that is why it lasted so long. It was nice that they did that. Sometimes that helps people to feel better about the whole thing. It is a shame that Greg did not get up there and sing. He has such a good voice and they would all have enjoyed listening to him. I guess it is hard to sing along when you are use to singing with a trio.
That would be interesting if you threw Greg out of the bed raising him up to get him to stop snoring. I just do not think that it would work with most men. That advertisement is funny though. We all just have to put up with their snoring and learn how to sleep thru it. Ron says that I snore sometimes but I know better.lol It is really bad if my sil is here and then we have snoring in stereo. Melissa need to rent a hotel room for the night so we can get some sleep.
Not a whole lot going on here today. Just been doing a lot a resting. I need a lot of that. I still have not taken my nap and that is not good. I will be cranky tonight.

Hi Adele,
I tried to write to you last night but the whole thing disappeared. I misspelled a word and hit the back space to correct it and the whole message disappeared. I have not idea why. I did something wrong.
I am glad that you sold your shirts that do not fit. I have to go thru my closet and get rid of some things that I do not wear anymore. I really do not like to do that but I have to do something to make room in my closet for the new stuff. My daughter sells stuff on the internet but does not do it on e-bay. I may have her sell some of my quacker. I have a lot of pieces that I do not wear anymore and they need to go. I am going to have to ask her how she does it but would rather she do it for me. She likes doing it.
I think of Gail when I see the butterfly shirts also. She loves them and I can see why. They have had some really cute ones here lately. The shows were good yesterday and I watched the ones that I could and put the others on the dvr. I am still deciding on what shirts that I want to order probably need to do that pretty soon.
I am glad that Marissa got her car all straightened out and she can now drive it. She will find out how nice it is to drive herself and not have to depend on other people. Then she can go and do what she wants.
You and Gary will look really good in your flag shirts. I hope that you enjoy yourself out tonight.

Hi Gail,
I saw the two shirts that would go with the pants that I bought. I did not buy anything else yet but am still thinking about it. I do not need anymore Halloween tops. We do not get any kids that come to our house she I cannot justify buying more shirts. I did get the one with the dogs dressed in costumes off the qvc site it was on clearance and did not give that much for it. I always feel better if it is a bargain. I bought the wine vest and the butterfly shirt not too long ago so I have that to wear with the pants. They had a couple of butterfly tops and I thought of you right away. They had the one with the vest and then they had one with flowers on the butterfly wings and then one that was beads. They were all cute. Did you get any of those? You would look cute in all of them.
I do not see how you sat in those wood pews for that long. I would have been in trouble. They would have had to get a crane to get me out of the pew. That was a long service. It sounded nice though especially if she liked music. Did Greg or any of his group sing?
I remember having to tuck our shirts in when we wore the uniforms. You had to look just right when you went to school. I am not sure that we tucked shirts that much when we did not have to go to school. When we went to mass on Sunday mom always made us wear dresses. I guess she was afraid that we would not tuck our shirts in if we wore a skirt or have them tucked in before we left the house and then untuck them before we got in church. Mom was smarter then we thought she was. When we were younger.
Those duck pants that Patrick were funny. I thought they almost looked like pajama bottoms but obviously they were not. He can find the funniest things to wear. I enjoyed all of the shows today. They had some cute things just nothing just called me to take them home. I guess right now I feel like I have bought enough stuff for awhile. At least I did get a lot of Christmas stuff bought and do not have to worry about that anymore. I did order one present for Christmas so that was another name off the list.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night and I hope that you back gets better soon. One thing the doc said to do for my back when it hurts is put an ice pack on it. It does take away some of the pain. Just a suggestion.
Colleen
p.s. I do wish Barbara would write to someone. It is starting to bother me also. She seems to always answer if you e-mail her. I guess we better say a prayer for her and that everything is alright.

Hi Cynthia,
One nice thing here we have a lot of land for him to put his junk car in. He is always going to do something with one of them. Sometimes he does and sometimes not. I am stuck with all that junk no matter what.
I am glad that you found some new pieces of jewelry that you like. They are having easy pay on a lot of things now. I guess that they did not want to exclude people that do not use their card.
I have brown hair also. I have never changed the color just have had it high lighted. Well I did dye it blonde when I was first out of high school. I had a friend that was a beautician and she use to do it for me. It did not look good on me it made me look really pale.
It is really hot here. 85 is warm for here. We up in the 90’s though. Will be glad when things cool down.
