Sad that Tim Russert has passed on, he was only 3 years older than me. He was definitely an icon in the news field!
We had a small storm pass through last night, but the winds and lightning were great. My flowers-luckily-are all safe. Have had the screens fixed from a past storm, but the outer glass panes are still broken.
Our kitten, Miley, is chasing her foil ball around and in the fringes of a shawl, that hangs from my grandmother’s rocking chair-she is so cute, and very lovable.
Not much new here, but I am excited to start job training the end of July! I will also take a clay class for 4 weeks, starting next Tues. We’ll be making a fountain! Cant’ wait to get my hands into the clay. A friend of mine is taking it with me.
Our pool is not yet ready, the maintenance staff has been trying to get lights working. If you ask me, I think it’s much more important to get a heater in the darn thing, than to have stupid lights! I won’t go swimming, as the water stays too cool. What a disappointment.
I have purchased quite a few movies and cds in the last several months-now I need to take some time out to watch/listen to them. I am so apt to save them for a ‘rainy day’, but I have to just stop that, and take the time!
Hope everyone is well and happy?!!
I love you!!
Happy Father’s Day!

yay for getting your hands in the clay, sweetie. warning: it’s addicting. :sunny:
do you know that we’ve just *now* gotten a dvd player?? and that we haven’t seen any good movies for, oh, say the last 20 years. so we’re set to go when we can figure out how to hook it up, lol. then i’ll probably ask for suggestions for good movies to watch over the last 20 years. i think part of me spent money on it, just to get away from msnbc and cnn and their stupid spins. i’m politicked out…and for the first time in my life i’m finding the republicans attractive. hell hath no fury and all that…
someone sent me a great quote by susan b. anthony: “No self respecting woman should wish, or work for, the success of a party that ignores her.”
That clay class sounds like a lot of fun. I agree with you, I’d rather have the pool heated then have lights working.
Hope you are enjoying a good Sunday.
It is sad about Tim’s passing. It hits close to home when someone dies around our age. I have had a few unexpected deaths lately .. people in their 50′s … it’s just too early.
We had a storm last night, too. Seems to be lots of bad weather everywhere lately!
I hope you are having a great weekend!

it is sad indeed.
long time no see.
Today’s meet the press was somber, only one commercial break and it made me realize that he’d be hard to replace.
I don’t think many people will rush to BlueRAy DVD the price is not cheap….
I think some movies can be burned to DVD via computer download but it takes a bit of time…
So great to see you post. And i know i am still so shocked by the passing of Tim Russert, i am so sad for his wife and son
……… and a clay class what fun….. I love sculpting….. well have a wonderful rest of your weekend! :sunny:
Tim was one of the best…..if not THE best! Hope you have a fun day!
I am in disbelief that the news icon we lovingly called Timmy in my home is now gone. I have been watching “Meet the Press” for quite some time, and hated it when I missed an episode! My parents of course have seen much more of it than I, and they miss him the same. I read an article about how his death should send a signal/warning out to the folks of his generation. I really think that it’s a wake-up call. I am saddened that I can no longer hear his voice every Sunday, but, life goes on, eh? RIP Mr. Russert!
I’m glad to hear you are starting clay classes. I have always wanted to take a pottery class for some reason, lol :laugh: But yeah, update us on your creations and such
And, you’d better be happy that you even have a pool! lol All I have is squirrels and rabbits in the back of this building…teehee
Hi friend. I’ve been so busy. I hope all is well with
you. At least you have a pool! How cool! Riding_Hood
