Mimi...today am goin to City Market...usually every 2 weeks...but Sunday Market is constant and different one.Things like Coffee,spices,cheeses,Fis h and Eastern oils to burn....now I would prefer a sailin Ship with masts and short cut through of Cape of Good Hope...but 1st level Parkin will have to suffice..damn.Weather channel has survey result..does Winter effect your mood..80 per cent..Yes...and what we call winter would make people in your region wonder what we are actually complainin about...as you know...we are here for any Comms..you wish to....Tell.........See'ya ....Leon

It seems fatuous to say this - given the distances between us and, I suppose, the fairly important fact that we've never actually met, but...you can see how much the others care and now I'd just like to add my own bit. I don't really know you, but we have spoken and exhanged thoughts and laughs and discovered common ground thanks to this astonishing thing called the Internet. So: I feel your pain - acutely - and while I can do nothing useful to ease it, I can point out that there are people scattered around this planet whose lives you have touched and who care about you as a human being. Count me as one of them. And remember that, often, just writing (the 21st Century equivalent of talking) to someone receptive is better than having to go it entirely alone. In our thoughts - Dave

Hi Mimi...the only thing in this life which is constant....Uncertainty.. ..each one chooses his path and reason my seem unclear to others..but theres little one can do....but accept.Little comfort I know..but do understand..Exactly your Feelings...thinkin of You....Friend.....Leo
said Leonslens
Mimi. I was afraid to hear your answer, because I think I already knew. My heart goes out to you...any chance of persuading or change of my mind on your daughter`s part? I want to make it better for you and all I can think of is praying(powerful, but your hurt is so raw). Mims, maybe it will be temporary and she and the young ones will be back before you know it. It`s going to be okay...I feel it. All my love and concern, Joanie

Hi, Mimi! What`s cookin`? Saw your witty thoughts on Dave`s page regardin` man in phone booth. Also, saw your message to Leon(nosy one, ain`t I?). Mims, your daughter is moving or just going on vacation to Florida? Pray you are doing okay with that. Joanie

Mimi, your 4th sounded like a good old fashioned blast. Bocce Ball!! I love Bocce Ball!!! I have my own set that costs almost $100! No way could we have played this 4th...it would have been more like bobbin` for bocce balls. We had torrential rains in the evening. I didn`t go to any of the parties...still didn`t feel right, if you know what I mean. We sat in the screenhouse/gazebo and watched the wild storm...God`s fireworks. Drank pineapple flavored rum and feasted on king crab, clams, shrimp and mussels. Can`t complain...it was a good 4th. Wow, today is already Friday...let`s dance...put on your red shoes...let`s dance.(Bowie) Have fun this weekend,Mims. Joanie

Summer is official here....hot and brash..and the nighborhood is out in full swing....kids,dogs, husbands and lawnmowers and bored housewives...or is it desperate housewives??

said Leonslens
Good morning, Mims. Been a few days...how`s it going? Hope you had a fun weekend and are fired up for the 4th. My plans are up in the air. I have 2 parties that I have been invited to and am not sure if I`m going to either, I`ll see. This past week and a half have been so unreal..I keep forgetting what day it is. Could have sworn today was a Saturday...wierd. Weather has been a litle on the cool side for the past few days. It feels almost like a touch of Autumn in the air. There is talk of some rain tomorrow night...hope not...I like to watch fireworks. Well, as you can tell I`m just rambling a bit about nothing in particular, but I felt like chatting with you. Talk to you later, pal. Joanie

said Leonslens
Actually Mimi head is spinning and will take a few days to settle adrenelin rush...roads were treacherous to put it mildly.But its so good to be back in familiar ground.Visions of Natures perfection and Mans abuse of it...are alongside and it bugged me somewhat..but thats reality. Shall return later.. Me
said Leonslens

Hello Mimi, Just dropping by to say "Hello" to you and wish you a wonderful weekend! Are you going to go dancing? Why I quit puotography 16 years ago is a long story that few people know; but, I have learned once again that a person should NEVER say "never"! :) I've finally learned how to get photos off SD card and onto computer; and ALSO how to get them from my computer to my webshots albums! (Big smile on my face :D ) If you want to take a look at the area where I live, please drop by and visit some of the albums. One album has photos around the apartment where I live - NOT at all like what a person would think of as an apartment's yard. I am so thankful to be blessed with this beautiful place that surrounds me with nature! There are two albums, the location of which is only a few minutes from me, one is the two house (literally) "town" and it's old, old buildings. The other is a trip inside the general store of the town with shelves lined floor to ceiling with antiques (not for sale now) from the era when the store was new! Actually you can still buy some things there. There are a couple of rows of the glass candy jars and a visitor to the store can select from the huge variety. Also can buy homemade bread, kettle fried potato chips, and a couple of kinds of wonderful fresh cheese. The sharp cheddar is my favorite! Jodi

Good Morning, Mimi. Well, that picnic idea sounds invitiing. I sure could use that right now. Actually, my brother and his wife are having the family and all of our close friends over tonight to their house. Lots of nice food and, yes, brewskis galore! We`re thinking of it as a celebration of my father`s life. A number of people going are very close friends of my Mom and Dad from their old block before they moved. It`s going to be good to see these people in an atmosphere, other than the wake and funeral. Well, I guess Miss Mimi will be with her guys tonight...dancin` the night away. Mims, I`ll check out your album today. Talk soon. Love, Joanie
said clover218
welll..I'm way humbled by all those complimentos..Mims. I'm no angel for sure..and my heart can be just as black as the next guys...But, I do have empathy for human suffering...maybe cuz I've had a lot myself. I can't imagine losing my dad. But he's 71 now..and I see it drawing closer all the time. He forgets a lot....and has some serious health concerns. Thankyou for being so kind to Clover...she's a sweetheart isn't she? goodnight Mimi...~A.

Hi, Mimi. I left a message on April`s board yesterday, but it`s really for both of you. I`m so grateful that God sent you my way. Just when you think you have all your friends in life, a new wonderful person appears. Mimi, did you see April`s new album? It`s absolutely beautiful...I am still overcome with emotion. Each day is a little better than the day before for me. My Mother is holding up pretty well, so far. The cemetary where my father is buried is very pretty and serene. I don`t know when I`ll be strong enough to visit him, but I will. How are you, my friend? I miss our conversations that are filled with laughter, but they will return. My love, Joanie
said clover218
Hi there, my new friend, Mimi! Thanks for the message and the invite. I am very happy to be frineds. Will have to visit about grandaughters and what a joy they are sometime soon. And, of course, about all the other thing that our porfiles indicate that we have in common! Hope you have a good week! Hugs, Jodi
said jodi_coyote
honestly..it's the best June I can remember...sunshine in mid 70's...cool breezy nights..broken up by an occassional rainstorm for a day..then back to sun! EVERYTHINGS green! and bursting at the seams...Kermit would love to live here! lol! I think its easy being green! (my favorite color) and I am lovin everyday. It's as close to Paradise as I can imagine. speaking of...I saw a really unique program Mimi, about people who have died for a brief time, and saw paradise...It was called the 'Lazurus phenomenon' If you have a chance, try to find it. I know it's sold online...it was INCREDIBLE! One man was dead 3 days and actually embalmed! All documented.I am still thinking about it and saw it about 3 weeks ago! But, I digress...I sure appreciate your prayers and concern...for Joanie too!sayin Ciao now, I had an idea for a photo album for Joan and her family as I was falling asleep last night...sometimes God tells me the greatest creative stuff then...have a super-dee-dooper day Mimi... ~April
