Well we were suppose to get rain yesterday but it didn't happen, will just have to see what today brings us.

Took my grandson out for sneakers yesterday. He had been wearing a size 5 and his Mom suggested trying a size 6 1/2. Found the style he liked but couldn't find a size 6 1/2, so I had him try a six and it had some room but he could have used the larger size but we were going to get them anyway. We're leaving the store and I see the same sneakers two aisles over and I stop and look and see a 6 1/2 but they're $10.00 more. I called a salesman over and ask him "what's the story". He than tells me that a 6 is the last size in "kids" and a 6 1/2 in now "mens". We got the larger size and when I took him home to his Mom I said "congratulations, your son just became a man" and that will now cost you more money every time you buy sneakers...they get you coming and going.

Kacee - you asked about the dogs, well they are both doing fine. Lady just had some dental work done and between that and her yearly shots it was over $200.00. Our little Woody just reached 100 LBS but he's still all puppy. I just purchased something from the vet called lawn guard...its a all natural product that is suppose to neutralize waste and protect against lawn burn...we'll see if it works.

Hope - Glad to hear that DH is doing so well and also that your are enjoying your candles.

Francine - Welcome back

Pat - Those darn computers are both a wonder and a big problem sometimes, can imagine how we got along with out them.

Seren - loved your story about DH, his new mower and the dog..men, machines and dogs always a combination that can make for a story.

Dannie-BB - Happy that you both weren't effected by that tornado.

Susie - Glad you're feeling good and that everything went so well. Now hope the apin starts to subside soon.

Janet - Enjoy your vacation.

Well it's a year today since I found the garden and its been quite a year. Having you all to bring my problems too and having your support meant a lot. Sharing everyones life and getting to meet several of the Ladybugs in person was a great experience and I look forward to many more years and meeting more Ladybugs..Hugs to all

Val

Good morning Val. Remember when you could get just PF Flyers or Keds? I cringe when I see Nike or Reback on a baby who can't even crawl yet. I get a lot of my casual clothes in the men's department because the charge more for women's and since the zippers are all in the same place now; who knows (except you now because I just told you (lol)).

CU later. Kathey

Good morning, Val. We are lucky that you found us. One time the salesman gave me girl's shoes for my son. As it turns out, girl's sizes are about 1 and a half smaller. I had to buy 2 pairs within a couple of weeks.

Hi Val. Well we received your rain yesterday. It, at least, got rid of some of the pollen in the trees. Now I have to clean it up from the decks, etc. Never end. The price of sneakers today is outrageous!!! And, of course, the kids want the most expensive ones. Hope you have a good weekend. Hugs Lynda PS Congratulations on your one year anniversary!!!

Happy Anniversary to you Val. I always look forward to hearing from you. You have a knack for writing about a little event and making it special, eg sneaker incident. Raining here today, but after last week's rain in St Croix I am getting used to it.
