He is. We'd just shared a picnic by the river together hence him licking his lips in the photo!
If anyone got me through the last 7 years it was him always there, always looking out for me and being the
reason to make me get up and walk everyday.

Happy Burthday Murphy!

I'll try to post my Sugar Bear's picture.  She is a wonderful companion!!!  With my hearing loss, she is also my ears!  What would we do without our furry family?

I am enjoying this thread - so random yet normal - it's nice - it's life beyond illness.
I am volunteering at an event we do each year to raise money for childrens music programs. We find a run down mansion, bring in 20 interior and 15 exterior designers, who donate their time and talent to renovate the home. We sell tickets for the house and garden tour, also have a restaurant tent and a marketplace - it's open for 4 weeks. Its a lot of work but very successful and the group has been raising funds with a different Showcase House for 47 years - here's a short video about the house. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ7NvXyNy7c

You know I told you about my ball of fluff sitting on her butt, well last night I started training the "roll over" It was 2 and a half hours of laughter and fun.

She had me and my daughter roll over on the carpet with laughter. I wonder who was training who? :rofl;

Quite, right, Des! Your ball of fluff was saying: look, I was able to get those humans to laugh and roll over for hours!

 :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;

So glad you got a kick out of this!

I'm hangning with my granddaughters in Massachusetts. I can't tell you how much fun it is to listen to bickering between them.  :sarcasm;

They usually get along. But daughter and SIL are using our visit as a time to let us do some major baby sitting. I think I will have enjoyed my dear granddaughters quite enough for a while when we leave on Monday.

*raises eyebrow and awaits an explanation*

Oh, and Happy Belated Birthday, Murphy!

jbeany ... I wish I'd been around when you were handing out lottery tickets!  We don't really do anything for St. Paddy's Day in little old England, at least not in the places I've lived (of which there are many.)

I spent my afternoon wasting time at a 'make your own cartoon strip' website.  Yes, I should have been busy planning lessons for next week (I was, sort of) but condensing the whole Twilight series into three images and no more than forty words was very entertaining (and surprisingly easy!)

(porridge, in case you're wondering)

Craig (my husband) and Kenny (my son) are out the door for a boy scout campout weekend.  I LOVE these weekends for several reasons.  I do NO cooking.  I watch chick stuff on TV and keep the flipper in MY hand all weekend.  I go to bed late and get up late.  And, most importantly, I know they are off having a good time together doing guy stuff.  These weekends give them something that is only theirs.  Anyway, I'm off to watch MY shows.  Have a good weekend all!

Hey Paul/karen, what kind of bikes you have? Hubby and I have 1100 v-stars.  He got rid of his but I still have mine.  I put some Hard Chrome extention pipes on mine, to make it a little louder.  I love to ride. Im not crazy about doing it alone, but sometimes it can be so relaxing. I broke my ankle by slipping on ice in January and am just now allowed to weight bear. That is goning to slow my riding a bit, but I can't wait to slap that helmet on my head and RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!
