Fab dinner last night. Open Original Shared Link

Expecting an appallingly hot day today (ok, not as hot as Patti and Suze, but hey, this is Seattle).

[nikki-uk]

African peanut stew????? ......askeert!!

Thinking of our Em & family on this difficult day.....sending her the strength to get through the day.....

{{{{hugs}}}}

[flourgirl]

Em and her family are very much on my mind this morning too. It's grey, drizzly, dreary here, a fitting symbol expressing the farewell to a man who brought so much light and laughter to the world.

African stew.....hmmmmm. Have not yet tried this (or heard of it), as there is a definate shortage of africans here in WV! Are they expensive? Are they gluten-free?

I keep reading about places being so abominably hot....send some up here!!!! We have not really had summer weather yet, except for a few days near 90. Lots of rain, though. At least the plants are happy. Mostly been in the mid 80's so far. My poor dad in NY is pretty frustrated as he has not been able to get the hay in! Makes one wonder about all of the talk of global warming. I'm sure it's real....just not "in your face" evident (yet).

Hope everyone is hangin' in there just fine. Sometimes I really miss youse guys.

Ditto . . . will be a long day . . . but the support from phamily and phriends makes it bearable.

I don't think I told you guys what Smackl said to the Catholic priest immediately following my Mom's funeral . . .

Father H. was moving down the line and shaking all of our hands and offering his condolences. He gets to my son and before he can say anything, Smackl says "You know why I'm not sad about Grandma Kate? . . . I know about reincarnation. She could already be back by now." I answered with "Don't you think she deserves a few days off?" and my older brother asked to see the Buddhist-Catechism book that we're using. Hubby was mortified. The priest was amused. And the crowd snickered and giggled.

[psawyer]

Our thoughts are with Emily and her family today.

[jerseyangel]

Emily and her phamily have been on my mind so much the past several days, but today particularly.

[blueeyedmanda]

My prayers and thoughts are with Emily and her family today. (((HUGS))))

[Jestgar]

Hugs to all of us.

Will try to make as many people as possible laugh today, in honor of Les.

Hey Tea! I think we should do a house-swap in mid-July!!!!!! You'll love it here - 106 tomorrow

You can water my tiny garden, whilst I become overwhelmed by yours....

holy cow

funerals are so poignantly beautiful - I actually love them. They bring out the best sense in people, I think......and a closeness that we don't always have.

Hugs to all of us.

brilliant.........I"ll see if I can get these animals to cackle.

sending love and blessings up to Canada today........holding Emmy and family up in prayer.

Love to all -

Hi Emmers

Been thinking of you & your family all week. Your Dad sure touched a lot of people - so many wunnerful things written.

Gian-knit - love the Smackl story.

Learned 2 things lately.

1) 3ml is a lot of spit when foam doesn't count.

2) I was correct in expecting to gag during critical moments of stool test process .. ..hoping I wouldn't vomit IN container to ruin it. <gag> (1 down, 3 to go <gag> )

<omfg I hate how slowly I think>

[Darn210]

HiYa Peter!!

. . . and Tom . . . and Susie . . . and everyone else.

Glad you could poop in Tom . . . got any info to share on the testing and the appointments . . . You know, good stuff other than the gagging during the stool testing.

Well, Smackl and I are headed to meet the new neighbor . . . she's only eight weeks old and her name is Willa . . . and she's a golden retriever puppy.

Hope Em is doing OK and checks in soon.

[jerseyangel]

Hi all--just got back from our "pre-drywall" meeting w/the builder. Everything is good and so far on schedule--actually, dare I say it--a bit ahead of schedule

Hope all is well throughout silliville.

Wonder how Em's doing today.....

Oh--get this--we stopped at Starbucks just now and I asked about the V Orange Cake, expecting to hear that they didn't carry it anymore. (I phigured I could put in my 2 cents about how disappointed I was.....bla bla bla.) but to me surprise, they had several in the display case.

I said that I heard they were discontinuing them, and the girl told me that she/they at this location have not heard anything about that, and they get fresh ones delivered every day. I did order one, and it was perfectly fresh and delicious. Interesting.....

On day 36 of the Toronto civic employees' strikes, we are told that tentative agreements have been reached, and ratification votes will be taken on Wednesday. It will take a few days after a yes vote to get things back to normal. Cleaning up the mess will take quite a bit of work.

I hope Em pops by and lets us know how she's doing.

Picnic Pics pleeeze...

That's all, folks!
