Hi Rola & Jenni, I thought I would check to see if anyone was around before I went to bed. I always seem to miss everyone!

My daughter had her last home softball game tonight. They ended on a good note and won! The school year is winding down so things are finishing up.

STella, Congratulations to your daugher and the softball team.

Hi Stella, how much longer till school holidays. Congrats to daughter for winning. And how tall are you?

Hey Stella, where is Saratoga, NY in the US

Oh good, you guys are still here. I thought I was going to be posting to myself again.
My oldest son ends classes on June 7th and graduates on the 16th. My youngest son ends on June 8th (he's in 6th grade) And my daughter ends classes on June 12th, but she has to go back in on the 18th for a State exam in Spanish. In New York, they have standardized tests in various subjects when they are in 8th grade.

I'm 5'7' tall.

I've just picked a big juicey lemon from the tree. a yummy Lemon Delicous Pudding I think for sweets. now for the main meal

ooh Stella, you are the tallest at the moment. and I'm the smallest.
Good things come in small packages

Saratoga is directly north of New York City(220 miles) about half way between NYC and Canada. If you look on a map and see the capital of NY, Albany, it is just north of there.

I shall get the atlas out, and find you.....

Rola, you have a lemon tree?

found you Stella, looking at the map....Massachusetts on your right. Vermont upper right. Pennsylvania below, not far from Lake Ontario on your left.

Stella, you beat me in height by 1/2 an inch. Rola, can you send back some of that pudding with my hubby when he comes back please!

I put a picture of my oldest son who is graduating on my page. He had his senior prom on Saturday night and he went to it with a friend. They had the prom at the Automobile Museum and the current exhibit is motorcycles. I put some of the pictures on my flickr. It was neat they had it there. The theme was 'Casino Royale.'

Yes Stella, I have a Lemon Tree. I get fruit Autumn/Winter time. This year they are huge. It is a Meyer Lemon. nice juicey, a sweet sour taste.. I have it in a Pot, in a nice sunny location.

Rola: we had 'cheesy chicken and rice' from the recipe on the Campbell's soup can. My son, who has done of the cooking since my heart surgery last June, cooked tonight. Up until she died at the age of 77, she did all my ironing and my laundry as often as she could. (i really miss her folding those cothes). My husband does his own ironing now.
MisT: Hee haw on the dressing!!!

Very Handsome. I like the colour and the dress of his date.
Your daughter Meagan has similar hair colouring as my youngest Stephen

I would love to have a fruit tree, especially lemon! We have alot of apple trees in NY but it's too chilly for lemons, oranges and grapefruits, I think. My inlaws winter in Arizona and they have those trees there.

OK, Moma is oldest, but looks like I am tallest triplet. 5'5 1/2' and that 1/2 was always important to me. Mom was 5'6' and growing up, my goal was to be taller than Mom. I think I made it only when she shrank some too, Mamacita. . We will not talk the around demensions, my scales gave up long time ago and just said TOO MUCH! STELLA I only have an iorn for my sewing, and those all cotton summer work shirts of hubby. Most of my things are KNIT, and NO IORNING.

Cyndi. where is sc/usa...... now that I have my Atlas out.
Mum always came and did my ironing when the boys were little. She would come, look after the boys, while I went and did the business banking, and did my grocery shopping..

Rola, my youngest son also has that color hair but his is straight and my daughter's is wavy/curly. How many children do you have Rola? I'm sure you told me before but I have forgotten. Sorry

Speaking of Ironing, my Ironing Board died yesterday. It was 24 1/2 years old, I got it as a wedding present. Mother will be surprised to see the table being used as the ironing board !!!

Roa; is the lemon tree hard to grow and maintain? I sure would like to get one and with the recipe for that pudding, please

Jenni, if there is any Pudding left, I'll put some in a container for Chef to bring to you...

Cyndi, you didn't just have dinner, did you?

Alright Ladies, I have decided to cook Chicken and Tomato Risotto, and Vegetables. Cyndi inspired me with her Chicken and Rice dinner.
to everones input on dinner suggestions

MizTricia, you're still up! I seem to always miss you here.

Lemon Tree ♪♪ very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet, but the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat♪♪
No I dont find it hard to grow. As I said it's in a huge pot. fertilise it with citris fertilizer, does get watered well, and is in a sunny position. Once the fruit is all picked I give it a light trim....

SC is in the South in the mid-Atlantic area. Go down about five states from NY -- NJ, MD, VA, NC then SC. We're about smack in the middle of the state.
Rola sorry about the misspell on your name, my 'l' is sticking and I have to reread everything, but missed it.

I'll get the recipe and put it on my page and as well as this page. Will do so sometime today..

That would be a good idea, Rola. To have suggestions for dinner. That is always the hardest meal to decide. Half of the time I leave it for my hubby because he likes to cook and unless somebody thinks of something they want, I don't want to do it.

Thats okay Cyndi, I think I have spelled your name wrong earlier on, and put a i instead of a y.....
I will look up Atlas shortly and find you

Stella, I have 2 boys, Robert - 21 in August, Stephen - 18 in July Both at University. R is in 4th year and S in 1st year...

Rola, are you in a pretty temperate climate?

No, Stella; but it was late at about 7:00. My son told me the chicken was still in the house (since I looked yesterday) and when he said yes he neglected the fact it was in the freezer. And, my husband is still working and likes to sit for a little while when he gets home, so we usually eat 6:00-6:30.
Thanks, Rola, I'm going to look into one.

I caught up again, yeah. and Miss Stella, just what are you ding at the top of a page? You know that is my spot!! Looks like my string of firsts has been broken, means lots of other people posting, goody.

Yes, that Lemon Delicous Pudding sounds good. I had forgotten we have different words for that meal ending treat, you say sweet, we say desert.

Cyndi? you had heart surgery? Last year? My hubby had bypass heart surgery in June 2002, five years ago now. He is the reason for whole grain this and fat free that and low cal the next thing. Although we had always ate healthier than most, I still had to learn to cook all over again.

Cyndi - SC = South Carolina. according to the atlas, two states left of Alabama and MizT, and she is in the middle of Alabama ....
Getting my Geography lesson today....

Meghan is also 18 and just finished her 1st year at university. She'll be 19 in June. Brendan is 17 (18 in August), Bryana is 14 and Ian is 12. Is the university free in Australia or are there tuition and boarding costs?

Sweet, deserts, afters........ we use them all here

BTW today/tomorrow 5/22 is my DIL Cathy's birthday.
