Beautiful newp :) (13.50 / 8)

I've missed you brother.

I have to go for my dental cleaning at noon so I'm hoping to hear news on Sen. Stevens and Sean O'Keefe before I have to leave.

I hadn't known Stevens had been in a plane crash before. Sounds like planes are about as lucky for him as they were for Teddy Kennedy.

my heart's with all those on board (14.00 / 4)

and their families. such sad news

According to a family source both Sean O'Keefe and his son Kevin than survived the plane crash but they are both rather banged up.

pee ess... (13.00 / 3)

I've missed you, too, sister :O)

we're still in searching, cleaning and packing mode... but at least the search is narrowing and we should be making a final decision this week. haven't found the "perfect" place yet, but a couple of decent properties have appeared so we'll be ok no matter what.

I missed something! (12.00 / 4)

I've been double busy and haven't paid attention here as much as I would like and I surely missed some news about you... I hope you find the best place for you and all of yours. Thinking of you...

And thanks for today's Open!

well (12.33 / 3)

we got both quilts finished & the girls went home today.
i slept for several hours after they left.
i'll probably do the same tomorrow. a little one is fairly exhausting.
i DO have pictures and hope to put them up tomorow or the next day.

i had a fantastic, fabulous, glorious birthday...
the best i've had in many years.
pretty much everybody i love called, showed up or left me messages with happy wishes.
our girl made red spaghetti... & it was awesome- it tasted just like mine! she was so very proud.
& i had a very yummy german chocolate cake with french vanilla ice cream & a most excellent cup of coffee!
