  1. That could put mum's house in the drink. Her house is roughly 14 feet above sea level and only 5mi/8km from the ocean.
  2. I miss too, but hear from her occasionally. Glad she and her family are doing well.
  3. It's St. Swithun's Day. Anyone know if it rained on Winchester bridge?
  4. Thank goodness for safety harnesses, though truth be told it looks like mouth-to-mouth. I think I saw this photo elsewhere and the dangling young man was actually injured and hanging unconcious
  5. I'm hoping he's just busy plotting world domination ...
  6. Hey! I'm a professional ... just my field of expertise isn't feet.
  7. I too thought of Drew when I saw them.
  8. I'd opt for the above.
  9. I'm making shrimp quesadillas with salad. I baked a fresh peach and blueberry buckle, not diabetic friendly, which will likely serve as dessert.
  10. Mum saw her cardiologist yesterday for a routine 6 month visit. They did a yearly echocardiogram stress test. We knew she had some minor mitral valve leakage and a minor left bundle branch block neither of which have worsened so the doctor is pleased with her health as am I. I'd like to have around for awhile yet.
  11. We're having open-face BLT's on Black Russian bread. It's warm and muggy so something light and not cooked is just right.
  12. I posted it here because Page lives there and wanted to hear what he knew.
  13. I just saw on the local news that a ride at the Cherry Festival in Traverse City almost had a tragic accident as it started wobbling and swaying while in operation but a number of bystanders rushed forward to hold the base down until the operator could safely stop it.
  14. Define "normal" 'cause I wasn't aware that "normal" was our default setting.
  15. That's good to hear.
  16. My paternal grandmother had a small green gooseberry bush. Can't recall her ever doing anything with the fruit. Of course the bush was so small I don't think she ever got more than a handful in any season.
  17. A bit after 8am local time. Epicenter near Sparta, about 37mi from Boone.
  18. Apparently in intensity it equals one back in 1916.
  19. I heard the other day that a large portion of the Northwest blueberry crop has cooked on the bushes due to the heat. A total loss. That crop accounts for 80% of the total US supply. Blueberries could become more scarce and expensive.
  20. Those ones you don't know what they are ... they're simply known as "pretty". They're rather common. I'm sure you've encountered them before. Just think back ever hear someone say those are pretty flowers?
  21. When I was a kid the doctor would give me a lollipop ... I think I got cheated on the candy.
  22. And not a bit of melted butter in sight ...
  23. You're asking that of Clo
  24. But, uhm, I thought your natural color was gr... oh never mind.
  25. Enjoy your time together.
