We have a nice, sunny day here in our area. LOL, wish I could send you some of the rain in our area. The poor vinca plants got way too much water this summer; now they're finally starting to bloom and look like they should have back in July.

Nice thread!

I watched the video Scottie mentioned. Robin Williams and Craig Ferguson talking about the Turkey Rapture and other subjects. Hilarious

Nice thread! Thanks !

I have been watering flowers, etc. for about 90 minutes each night so the rain was very welcome. I am sure they just drank it up. I have a LOT of annuals planted so they don't have much of a root system but the bees, butterflies, birds and especially hummingbirds are just crazy over them this year so I have to keep them up. I have never, ever seen such activity! We have some cosmos that are about five feet tall and very airy and fluffy. The hummingbirds and finches will hang on upside down and pull out seeds and/or nectar. They just bob up and down and hold on. It is the scene outside our breakfast nook and very entertaining. Glad your vinca are doing well. They are a pretty little flower, aren't they?

My nephew and his kids stopped by just to say hello and give me a hug. Can't get any more simple. Not just a smile, a big smile.

Several things but I will share one - sitting across from my husband at dinner out last night. I know I grace his table but he also blesses mine.

That would make me smile as well, deep. Thank you notes are becoming a rarity. I sent out three fifty dollar checks to children of acquaintances (not family). Got not ONE thank you. Didn't know they had gotten the checks until they cashed them

Seeing my neighbor ride her turquoise 1950's era bicycle on the boardwalk this morning. (She would say she's 'circa 1930's...lol.)

Received a call this morning from my sis in law, while at the gym. This is the first time I've talked and walked (treadmill) but my sis had great news. She has now lost 40 pounds and is wearing size 12 pants. Ten more pounds to go! She's been heavy since age 30 and it's a joy to see her tackle something that's made her so unhappy. She's shopping today!

That would have been neat to see indeed ! (And while I am here, let me say how much I love your upbeat posts about how much you love your husband, your home, your life). Wonderful to read.
