Hi Everyone!

[lynne b]

Diana, you can come and finish painting my kitchen anytime LOL, it's half way done, now i have to do the wall behind the stove, sink and fridge, which means i need to do some cleaning before i paint, also will be putting tile up for the back splash, i will take pic's soon.

Betsi, how is the new puppy doing? would love to see pic's of him!!

Gayle, glad to hear that Gary's back is doing better and he was able to do some serious fishing, hope he caught a whopper LOL.

Judy, hope you can find some way of getting your g-daughters radio debut on here, would love to hear her sing, sounds like she is pretty serious about her acting. You could be a famous g-ma some day LOL.

Janet, I had such a wonderful afternoon with you yesterday, i am sorry it had such a terrible ending for you, you know my feelings on the subject.

[DianaB]

Lynne, I wish that you lived closer. My daughter and I are so good at working together that we could probably finish it up for you!!

We have been painting ALL week!!! Well.....preparing the walls and painting. We've been filling in holes and cracks and spending so much time on that that it seems like we haven't done as much painting as we'd have liked to but it's looking so so nice!!!! We have Dean's room done and the living room almost done!! I have taken some pictures so I'll put them on soon.

Today I get a day off because the Dae Lynn and Amy and their families went to the circus in KC so I get to get caught up on housework and laundry. We're going to Lincoln, Nebraska, on Sunday for a wedding and will be back on Monday. I'd really prefer to just stay home!!!

Hi everybody! This is just the best thread ever It's so easy to keep up. Whoever said that Summer is a lazy time was wrong, lol! I want to see pictures of the painting jobs that are going on. It makes me want to paint something, too! I really want to redo Mike's bedroom now that Jack is gone. Yes, we have separate bedrooms Mike has very erratic sleep patterns and likes to watch tv at odd hours. I like to stay up with my lamp on to read if I want to. It just works out better for us.

Kirby is doing fine! He's growing so fast. He's 17 lbs at 11 weeks old He is in puppy kindergarten, and he loves it. He's doing good with his potty training, but still has an occasional accident. He's so laid back and calm, quite a switch from a little dog He is a lot of company for us, and we're glad we have him!!

[DIANE W]

Ahhh Betsi Kirby is so cute and so is the other little one playing with him. He has such a lovely face, that make your heart melt.....

[lynne b]

Betsi, I love Kirby, he is such a cutie, glad to see he gets along with your little one, he's a cutie also LOL. I bet puppy classes are so much fun, I have a few that are bigger and would love to try them in agility or something but there is nothing close to me.

[Janet]

Diana....I knew you were still painting, but I wanted to say I miss you. So get it done will ya??? Do you have to go to the wedding? Maybe something come up...like a much needed nap?

Betsi...Kirby is really cute, so is that other little cutie.

My son and I went to Lafayette today. He had so many games from the game systems he has/had and there is a play that will buy them and resell them. Then we went to Kmart, Target and Golden Corral. Oh and I can't forget we went to PetSmart too...I needed a new brush for the doggies.

I always have such a good time with Ricky. We had the radio blaring with my Sawyer Brown CD...love it!

A painting theme going on here, huh? I took the week off work and all I've done is paint! I've done the living room, dining room, hallway, kitchen, and just finished one coat in the breakfast nook. One more coat tomorrow and I'll be done just in time to go back to work I think I've done more work at home than I do at work!

Right now I'm sitting here with achy feet, watching Scott put up a new ceiling fan in the living room. Time to put pizza in the oven!

Sounds like everybody is really busy right now! Betsi.. Kirby is just too cute! I'm glad that he and Layni are getting along good! I bet puppy classes are so much fun! I'd love to do something like that.

We have a little shop just down the street from my house. The name is

Lick It Bite It or Both

Can you guess what it sells?


P.S. I can't tell you what Gary calls it - let's just say it's a variation of Lick It Bite It or Both.

[Blueyes]

An ice cream store? A porn shop???

I bought Jessie and the family ANOTHER dog!

Here's the story, and I'm sticking to it!

Somebody offered me a little male yorkie who needed rehoming last week. I knew I should have kept my big mouth shut, but told Jessie since I didn't want to take him. Sadly, he was hit by a car thew very next day. I don't know if he made it through, but will call and find out this week. How tragic for the poor little puppy!

Jessie and the kids have always wanted a yorkie. I offered to find a little female for them, since that's what Jessie wants. I guess I'm a sucker for giving them what they want, but I do enjoy making them happy so much! I may not have anything to leave them when I die, but I sure will give them what I can while I'm alive!

To make a long story very short, we found a wonderful breeder close to us. She had a big puppy - probably couldn't sell her because people want them small. She only charged half of what she usually gets, and we went over that night and took her right home! Her name is Muffin Precious Wright, and she should be around 7 or 8 pounds fully grown. Her mom is 11 pounds, and her dad is about 4 pounds. She is such a sweetheart! A really affectionate sweet little baby girl!

Here she is, sleeping on top of Ginger, the Japanese Chin I got them last year.
(This is their Christmas present, just like Ginger was last year).

I have to save pictures in Paint to get JPEG. The thumbnails come out like this though. I haven't figured out a way to fix them yet.

Ha Ha! Betsi! You are half right, and I won't say which half is right!

[gja1000]
