Now Friday, jorr, your dog was showing you his love for you by bringing his bounty to you. My cat, now in that big sand box in the sky would bring me home mice, birds, dragonflies. On a lucky day, they were alive in the cat's mouth and I'd slap the jaw to release the hostage.
no rants no raves, just happy to be carring on these days.

Rant: The car we just inherited from my mil in January isn't safe to drive to CA on Sunday - why did she buy a salvage car in the first place?

Rave: We found a replacement and will be able to leave Sunday as planned.

Rave: Cold-Eeze! I missed all the stuff that was going around this winter, but started feeling yucky yesterday. Popped Cold-Eeze all day and am doing much better today.

A lovely but cool morning here in Central NJ.

Rave: My backyard looks wonderful. All those hours of backaching work are beginning to pay off. And the pool is being opened tomorrow, not that anyone will go swimming, its too cold, but it looks nice.

My rants are small so I'll just ignore them this week and thank God for my blessings. I wish everyone a wonderful weekend.

PS-One week untill the NY/NJ GTG!

Rant: Can't believe that the pilot who flew over D.C. are not getting charged with a crime of some kind. The pilot made a mistake? So what. The prisons are full of people who made a mistake.

Rave: babelfish.altavista.com
It dynamically translated and redisplayed the webpages of a Japanese website. Was able to book an internet only rate offered only on the hotel's Japanese language webpages.

Peace Out!

Rant: The last two mornings during my run we've had 100% humidity. Literally 100% humidity. Even though its only 70% outside the heat index is something ridiculous like 85 degrees. I can't stop sweating after two showers.

Rant: Something is attacking the possums I feed so I've stopped. It is breaking my heart.

Rave: I am a lucky girl. I have my health, my family, my family's health and all is good.

Rave/Rant: Upcoming roadtrip from hell

Rant :Watched The Apprentice for about 5 mins. last night. After almost loosing my dinner, I realized these women are way too aggressive. I would love it if one of those "candidates" stood up and said" I think Trump is a jerk and I would rather jump of a bridge than work for you and blow smoke up your a@#.

Rave: Just back from a wonderful long weekend with hubby in Florida.

Rant: Stepped on a sting ray.

Rave: It didn't sting me. I realize how lucky I am!!!

Rant: There is a very short window of time in Buffalo to enjoy summer. So why does everyone have to plan their wedding showers for Saturday afternoons? You can just as easily open a toaster oven and bath towels on a Thursday or Friday night than on a Saturday afternoon!!!!!!!

Rave: My 13 year old "baby" told me I'm beautiful!!! I've been a little sad because he's off to high school in September. He's my one and only!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Rant: DH had oral surgery in March on his gum. It went so badly we thought we would have to cancel our upcoming trip to England/Wales.

Rave: They re-did the surgery at no charge on Monday and he is feeling much better. TRIP ON!!

Rave: Only 15 days until my trip to the UK!! If only I had a fast-forward button so I could zip through the next 2 weeks and go on my trip now.

Rant: Gloomy skies over Texas because of the Mexican smoke. For those who don't live here, the Mexican and Central American farmers burn their fields in May, so when the wind blows from the south, our skies are smoky. Very bad for asthmatics like me.

Rave: Did I mention I'm going to England/Wales in 2 weeks??
