Oh... I like that painting. Of course, you know I like Guatemalan art... their colors are so vivid. Have a great weekend fredo!!!! Love ya - Annie

p.s. My bananas have turned black. I think it is too late for them.

This is not surprising. What I am concerned about is that we are heading for the same problem. Oh well.... back to candles.

p.s. HOpe your dog bite gets well soon.

"Meaningless football????" I take big issue with that phrase!!!!! I love sports and most of the time it is better to watch them on tv than to attend the actual event. I went to the Rose Bowl one year and sat in the next to the last row at the top of the stadium. I couldn't even see the football. But then... there was the Stanford/Oregon game at Stanford on a crispy warm fall afternoon that was one of my favorite experiences in life. My only problem was that I was trying to visit with our friends and watch the game and then I discovered there wasn't any instant replay. lol Okay... where is that tv guide? Let's see... will it be football, tennis, golf, or whatever today?

You have a great weekend, too.
(((Hugs))) Annie

Good luck Lynnie. Although it sounds like you have had much experience in this area and that you will do fine.

I love Lincoln City. I've spent alot of time there. My nephew used to live on Devil's Lake until he moved to Las Vegas. He said it was too windy, rainy, and cold. Now... after years in Las Vegas... he plans to move back to Lincoln City when he retires.

Great story!

I've really gained weight this past year because of lack of exercise. My back problems made it impossible and now I need to get started again. Thanks for your post. It is an encouragement for all of us who battle the bulge.

I went by and viewed your pictures. You did a great job... they are wonderful!

Ohhhhh.... Martin.... I am soooo excited that you happened to write this blog about your Xanax. I've been on that stuff for 20 years, but lately, I've been having problems sleeping. I blamed it onto coming off the pain medications from my back surgery. But, all of the other withdrawel symptoms have ceased, but I'm still not sleeping. Maybe, I need to take another look at the Xanax component. That just could be the problem. Again... thanks for this blog. I'll let you know what I find out from the doctor. ((((hugs)))) Anniel
