Yippie, that is done. And I HElped! Grout going down today. I got right into it like Ro and her yard. Hope the manure isnt too "ripe" Ro.
Charlotte, was that a color ep with Gober and the butcher? For some reason, I cant recall it.
But your mention of a treehouse sure brought back memoiies of MY treehouse. My brothers and I spent hours up there. It was a clubhouse, spaceship, submarine, whatever the imagination could dream up. It was a beaut! That's why i cringe when I see all these kids playing videogames nowadays.
No imagination! A cardboard box could also become almost anything.
I recently bought the movie "Return to Me" with David D and Minnie Driver. Good romantic comedy!
PG only for some cussing that really wasnt needed!
no s-x or violence.
There's my review for the day! :)
CT, your "diving barbies" reminded me of the little plastic frogmen I got free with one boxtop of sugar pops. You would put baking soda inside them and they would then "swim" to the top of the water.

Asa, dear friend, I fear you're in for a disappointment. I went to buy a Tonka truck for my little grandson, and while they're nice, they're not the tough, rugged, indestructible things that you remember. My sons played with those, and they outlasted the real cars we bought at the time. I don't think the new stuff is quite the same. Oh, hugs to little Barney. Maybe you should try putting newborn Pampers on him? (teehee)

Landscaper friend is not here today, another customer had a broken water line and he had to help them, as water was running down the street. I understand, and know he would give me the same emergency attention, so I don't mind.

Does anyone else buy from the Schwan's truck? They carry a lot of single-serve things, as well as ice cream and the like, and some of their stuff is just really good. They have excellent pocket sandwiches, which are great for me to take to work. Good soups, lasagna, cheese biscuits, and their frozen pies bake up as good as homemade and a far sight easier. (No, I'm not getting a commission, I just like to share when I find a good thing.) Oh, and thanks to those who mentioned Johnny Carrino's. I think we have one here, and now I'll try it.

Have a great weekend, and Sugarplum says hey! --Romeena

Hey pipeman - hope you're feeling better. The brown truck stopped by my house today and I thought of you and spot. Had a chuckle - good thing hubby didn't hear me - he'd a thought I'd been sampling some of those MDC's squeezin's.

MDC - Banjo Jerry posted over at the courthouse a few days back and said his computer was giving him fits (and still is) and that's why he hasn't been around Maybery much lately.

Our local station played the Hollywood episode you mentioned above today, MDC. Andy is shown in a couple of other episodes with his boxers on but I think that's it.

Romeena - your yard sounds wonderful. You ought to get yourself one of those "flower makin' machines" instead of having to buy them. (hehe)

Spot, thanks for thinking of Sugarplum, with those carrot kabobs. She loved them, and it was very kind of you to think of her.

It's a perfectly beautiful day here on the Dallas end of the porch. I was outside barefoot for a while, and it sure felt good. I hate shoes, and consider them just a necessary evil. I stomped around barefoot in that huge dirt pile last Thursday, to the amusement of my landscaper friend. My dear husband used to say that I'd never grow up. I hope he was right.

Well, gotta run. It's a good day to go look for just the right chaise to put beside the fountain out back. I don't know exactly what I want, but I'll know it when I see it.

And, Ro, your friends here would really "get" the spirit of our little quote for the week we've been bouncing back and forth with. And, I didn't see you sharing info on your squash discovery? Afraid of Spot deciding to cook one up on a stick? Wonder how it would go with Spam... Yep, I remember Spam, the sideways glances the four of us kids would make at one another on the very rare occassion that Mom would let one big hunk slither out of a can. When your Mom's an awesome cook, Spam isn't quite so appealling. Just had a few moments to spare and realized that I hadn't visited with you fine folks in a while. So appreciate you letting me sit in on my Mom's pass. It's just such a nice place to unwind. I guess working on my sweet place, out in the yard, mowing, setting up little chat areas, etc... made me nostalgic.

Here's how I like my spam. I open up a can, warm it up for a few seconds in the micro-wave, then take it outside and feed it to the neighbors dog who won't stop barking. Usually only have to do that once. Next time he see's me coming he takes off howling. (hee hee) Not meaning to to denounce those who like the stuff. Live and let live is my motto. But I think I'll just let the spam slide on by. LOL
Pipeman, my Dad is much improved, thanks for asking. It bothers me that no one seems to know what caused his problems though. I guess the important part is we know who healed him, right?

Well, Asa, I never eat Spam now, only as a kid. I am not a pork person and there is really no telling what pig parts are in that stuff, is there? I have never read a Spam can but I'll bet the fat content would blow your mind.

I sure enjoyed TAGS last night on TVLand. That Aunt Bee sure can get her dander up, can't she. She scared me!!! I have a feeling she was one to reckon with in real life.

Ro, I didn't know you liked to go barefoot, too. Its my favorite thing. If I'm not barefoot, I am wearing sandals. Now my kids are the same way--they hate to wear shoes for long. I can remember when I was a kid, my mom didn't wear shoes, either. I grew up in a very small town and I think alot of folks didn't wear them. We were just a bunch of hillbilly beach-combers (still are, I guess!).

Welcome to Will and Rob. Glad you could come and sit a spell. Preacher was talkin' about the Passion at church today. My son says it is rated R because of the graphic nature of the content. Is that true?? Hope everyone had a good sabbath.

February 22, 2004 - Msg 19593: Evenin', all. Yep, CT, the movie is R-rated, but as our preacher said this morning, he guessed he'd be attending the first and only R-rated movie since his salvation.

Will Stockdale, as far as I know, I'm the only Romeena around. I've been coming to the porch for about six years or so now, so guess the one you remember is me. Bound to be, since I remember you.

Rob, it's nice when you visit the porch. I know how busy you are, but I've always enjoyed it when my friends and my family meet and become friends, too. Something a bit special about that.

Folks, the quote she referred to is this:
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming,
"WOW! What a Ride!"
Don't you just love it? That's part of why I'm going on a mission trip to Mongolia in August. We had a planning meeting this afternoon, and it sounds like it's gonna be some ride! We medical folks will go deep into the mountains in jeeps to do a little medical work and a lot of "loving on those folks", as our leader puts it. Others will remain at base to make blankets and clothing, teach the women how to cook nutritious meals, hug some babies, the men will build a couple of houses, and all in all, it sounds like a wonderful time. I can hardly wait!

I switched over to Geology, then got my Masters in Science Education and have taught high school for a year before going back to work on an MS in Geology...

Went thru the last two days of archives. Yes the Passion is R. Our pastor recommended seeing it first without the kids, then make that parental choice, as kids mature at different rates.

CT, the thing about Mel Gibson is an urban legend but he does have a pretty big scar on the right side of his face along the jawline. Looks almost like bad acne scars. I know this for a fact because I dated Mel when I was in my twenties and lived in California (or maybe that was just a fantasy) heehee. No, actually I saw an interview with him this past week and the scar was visible in the interview. He is a real cutie, though, don't you think? I heard him interviewed by James Dobson yesterday and he was so kind; he even said kind things about his enemies when James Dobson was putting them down.

Pipeman, I really had not thought about how The Passion would do at the Oscars but its an exciting thought.

I'm with ya, Will. I seem to have caught a bug from my 2 yr old who has been feverish since Friday. I'm feelin' pretty poorly.

Sorry I have been away for a spell. I took a little trip waaaayyy up north in Michigan, and then we went snowmobiling all over the place. Sure was fun. Then in the evenings we played euchre or a card game called "Hand and Foot". Anyone here ever play that? It's a lot of fun. It is always so nice to get away from it all, as they say!!

Welcome to Will Stockdale, P.L.O.! I just love that movie. The scene where they make Will clean the bathroom with a toothbrush, and he never even realizes it is a punishment, just a more thorough way to get the job done! Sometimes being naive can be a VERY good thing, pride just never gets in the way then!

Pipeman, thanks for asking about me, and I think it was you who asked if I am about to turn 21. Well, tomorrow I will be 21 for the 26th time!

Are paczki big where any one else lives? Around here they call today paczki day, (also known as fat Tuesday), and everybody spends the day eating these extremely fattening, jelly filled donuts. Although the real paczki bakers would be FURIOUS if you call them a donut, but that is what they are the most like. I think the state of Michigan has just gained 100,000 pounds today!

Britcoms? I love Keeping Up Appearances, because Hyacinth is just so outrageous. Poor old Richard! And isn't Onslow just hilarious? My sweet husband used to say that Onslow was his hero.(teehee) I also enjoy "Allo, 'Allo" (Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once.) And then there's the hilarious "Open All Hours", with the stuttering Ronnie Barker and his forty-year old pubescent nephew, and of course, everyone's favorite, "Are You Being Served?" I also remember "Good Neighbors" and "To the Manor Born". Very funny stuff, all of it.

Asa, you're a man after my own heart. The wonderful "All Creatures Great and Small" was an all-time favorite around here. My husband liked it as much as I did. In fact, I even have "All creatures great and small, the Lord God made them all" printed on my checks, which are the pictorial "Endangered Young'uns" series.

As for the Schwan's truck, my driver was here today. I usually place my order online, he stops by, brings it in the house, gives the Plum a carrot, picks up his check and leaves. No pushing or oversell, though he does point out a special or remind me of something I usually order if he has it on his truck, but nothing obnoxious. We're on a first name basis, and he does the carrot thing for the Plum without even being asked. Too funny!
