Hiya Mims! I have a Canon Rebel XTi and just got the 70-200mm IS F4L IS lens. The XTi is not a full frame camera but the best I could afford right now. Believe me, talking DH into the cost of this camera and lens was not an easy feat!...LOL My birthday isn't until December so the lens was a very early present...hahaha I have much to learn about this equipment! Well now won't Florida be a treat and a wonderful break from this winter we are having! We still have all our snow. It has snowed again 2 more times since last weekend - but just little bits. Renee

Hi Mims, Sorry I didn`t get back to you yesterday. By the time I was able to write, you were long gone from da cube. I`m stuck in the house today waiting for cleaners. Yep, I`m playing lady of luxury and treated myself to house cleaning agency. They are supposed to get here around noon. I wanted to get a new top(all things Irish and green, of course) to wear to the St. Paddy`s Day party on Saturday night. There`s a nice Irish Botique a couple of miles from here, so maybe I`ll go there tomorrow. That`s so stupid about your bridge being closed! What was the brilliant thinking behind that idea? I hope it doesn`t keep the St. Pat`s revelers from not going to party you were talking about. Now they just have to drive longer to get there....not bright! I had a good visit with Mom yesterday. We went to the diner and had beef brisket. Afterwards, I dropped Mom off and went to the store to pick up some stuff she needed. She loves to get out of the house and wants to be around people. Last night a close family friend was going over there to bring her homemade Irish soda bread, so Mom had a full day. This Monday will be the first St. Patrick`s Day without Dad. He would play the Irish music all day long. I know my sister will make corned beef and cabbage and make it festive for Mom, so she`ll be okay. Are you making that for you and Steve? If so, please don`t tell me you are putting hot peppers in it!! You can use the hot mustared to put on the corned beef though. That will satifsy you need for heat! How`s your day going? Any flooding yet from all the snow and now warmer temps? Bax misses ya. Later gator, Joanie

Hiya Mims. Oh this paintlady had to go back to work today...sigh Just R&R for my 4 days off - was perfect! We drove to Henry's camera store in Kingston (as we don't have much for camera stores here) and Mamma finally got a good lens.....muhahaha...woooo oot woooooooot! It's my B.Day/Xmas present for the next 5 years! We are victorious over the snow....for now! Renee
said paintlady101
Mini, thanks for taking such good care of Bax. He`s put on a few pounds from all the goodies you gave him. Have to make this message short as I`m getting ready to go visit Mom. Yes, I`d love to see photos of your parents when you get the new computer and scanner. I have to get a scanner, too. I`ll be back this afternoon to write again...in awhile crocodile. :)Joanie
said clover218
Hi Mims! Just winding down after 4 days off...must go back to work tomorrow. Time always flies by way too fast when you're having fun...lol No dancing for me this weekend unfortunately but did practice trying to capture birds in flight....phew - that'll teach one patience if anything does!...lol You obviously have more get up and go than I do. I could not go out dancing and then get up early and go to work next day...am one who desperately needs my zzzzzzzzzzzzs! Renee

Hi Mims, So glad you weathered the huge ice and snow storms. They kept showing pictures of Ohio on the news. I`ve been without internet or phone service since Saturday because of the heavy rain and high wind storms. The cable company finally came over today and fixed it. At least I still had TV and my cell phone. So, you gearing up for St. Paddy`s Day? I`m going to the annual yacht club party. I`ll take photos of the clan and all the shenanigans. Think I`ll be drinkin` Black and Tans for starters. They have the traditional corned beef and cabbage, cockles and mussels, ribs cooked in Guinness, etc. I`ll do a little Irish jig for ya too. One of my cousins is a world renowned Irish step dancer and I have a slew of other cousins who travel to neighboring states and Ireland to entertain. I`ve not inherited the "jig" gene apparently, but as long as one is having fun, who cares! Hope you day is grand, O`Mimi. Hugs, O`Joanie
said clover218
Wah, You make me think of Alice in Wonderland, but with no wonderland. I hope the storms are gone and you are ok. OMGosh. Oh...get a laptop..then you can move around with it...and plug in all around. Ill be back.........

said Leonslens
so sorry MIMSIE. yeah, these two little girls started calling us honey and papa immediatley, just add them to the long list, but real grandkids are just 2 Andrew and Jacob, for my blood, but then the other 16, not including Brenda's two are step grandkids, so they really are mine also, not to mention the whole slew of them that just think we are the cheery on top so they just adopted us., I do feel so bad about that, I knew who I was typing to tho, I would get some sleep if there was time, cloths in the drying and I just dont do wrinkles well, so gotta wait a while have a good nite.
said trueblvr
Hi Joanie, the week-end was wonderful, we needed to get a way and fun. Yes, saw Brenda, Levi and his two girls. we all went to Shoshone falls, bryn and I got pics. and then we all went to the pools and tubs, we seem to have been adopted by two more grandaughters, ok. with us. Edward R. Murrow, i dont think they could have picked a better guy to play that part. I like the black and white of it, it lent so much authentisity to it. That is one of those movies I really hadnt paid any attention to till it was up for awards a few yrs. back and thought hmmmm,yes, good one. Manchurian Candidate, an oldie but goodie, trying to remember the name of the leading man, was it....was it the guy that was in Enemy of the State with wWill Smith? Can never remember his name, and he is a great actor. hat it when this happens. Oh well, not the end of the world. Glad the snow was nice to you this wk. end. I remember thos days of working on about 3 hrs. of sleeeeeeppppppp, oh sorry. dozed off there for a sec. Bye oh sleepy one.
said trueblvr
Had a moment to stop by and say hello to fellow sista:))) Hope all is going your way ..Hug's...Silas:)))

Oh yes, I do like garlic! DH always complains when I've had it though - says I smell like it for 2 days after....hahahaha A local restaurant makes the best Mediterranean Pizza. It has black olives, feta cheese, tomatoes, and lots of fresh garlic. It is soooooooooooo good! I'm taking a nice long weekend. Have Monday & Tuesday booked off. No idea what we are doing for the next 4 days and that is THE BEST scenario in my books! Shall do 'whateva strikes our fancy.....woohooooooo
said paintlady101
Well Mims...I'm one of those people who will get up and dance by MYSELF if it's a song I like...hahahaha. I didn't say I dance well, but I do like to dance! Okay, first we'll go to Leon's Market, then we'll go whale watching in SA (can't do it by boat - guess that's illegal according to Stevo) then we'll stop by Joanie's for lunch, grab suits and towels and meet Di & Geo at the hot tubs. After that we'll go to Cleveland and dance the rest of the night away. Gonna do another snow check now. Have already swept the back steps off 3x. Could get up to 50cm now according to last report. Renee

said Leonslens
wouldn't that be neat if we all lived real close and could just get together and do things. Ok, Renee, I see you down there too it's not possibe to crash a party where you've been invited. Our whole crew would turn that place upside down, inside out, backwards and forwards, and round and round and round. This is in the high desert, I hope I see some neat growth starting.
said trueblvr
Now that chicken casserole sounds divine! Boy - you have us beat on the winter weather. We have not lost power thank goodness!!! We do have a woodstove should electricity go out in the winter. Is nice to know we have that back-up 'just in case'. Maybe we should both go crash Di's hot tub party. Do you think she would mind? After we warm up we could go and 'dance like nobody's watching' - the best type of dance there is!...LOL
said paintlady101
WOW, I have got to watch the national weather and new, I had no idea that the weather was hitting you guys like this. Nothing like the old movies. Any idea as to how long this will continue? Yes Stephen in a good guy, and I'm sure his whole fam. will gather around you like mother hens....as it should be.....dont make any chicken dishes, you might scare them. We are heading to Twin Falls today to see Brenda (pbratt) we will stop at the natural hot tubs on the way up there, spend the night at a place with a pool, eat at Outback, my fav. best ceasar salad, salmon with extra veggies, cheesecake and I'm set. visit with the kids tomorrow and head back same day, stop at tubs again and be home for church sun. We are delivering a car to Bryn, she was in an accident and geo. fixed it so two cars going up, one coming back. and there are some cool waterfalls at thousand springs so...........wow, have a warm warm weekend Mims, if you start to chill....dance, I hope you'll dance.......hugs.
said trueblvr
Mini, LOL on your view of the scammers! It`s true though! Hey Mims, if ya need to go to the store, feel free to hook up the Bax to a sled and he`ll get you there in a flash. I sure wouldn`t want to lose power, but I`d love to trade you weather conditions for the weekend! I know it`s a drag for you and you are probably sick of it, but I would love to have one big whopper of a snow storm before Spring arrives. Please tell Steve and Bax that I said Hi....:)
