Good on you, Susan. Would your mom adopt me?

Thanks Susan. Didn't realize we were that close.

Then we'd be sisters! I'm sure my mum would love one more!!!! I have a second Mum's taxi run, but I might catch up with you later!

Bye Susan, drive safely.

I am back, bed made, one load of laundry folded and put away. Dishes that did not fit into the dishwasher are washed dried and put away. Taking a breakfast break now, really easy today, bowl, box, spoon. Oh did add a banana hehe.

Looks like I have the place to myself again, Oh well, maybe a puzzle while I eat.

I was woken up early (for me) this morning by a neighbor calling to tell me about a horse trainer she recently discovered. I'd used her with mixed results in the past, but I may need to go back since I cannot get hold of my favorite trainer. I have two colts... both 2 1/2 years old...... that need to be started.... one under saddle and one in harness.

Susan.... Would your mom adopt me, too?

I might as well do some too. I'll be back......

Morning SA6! Hope everyone had a lovely day/night!
Haven't caught up on reading...but wanted to drop in with blessings for you all! Namaste

Ahhh - caught up on reading...what fun!
Lizzy - loved your SA6 statistics - no wonder it takes me hours to catch up on the reading!!! The pages are multiplying like bunnies
Susan - your #1 son and your #1 mum (haha) sound so lovely...I'd like to sign up for adoption, too!
June - sorry your getting a cold - hope your nights rest helps...oh, and Lizzy - hope your tummy feels better today.

Julie and Heidi - thanks for asking about Mike's hand. It's coming along...he started PT, but it's going to be a slow process and he is not thrilled about having to have patience!
MzT - hope your tech can fix your pooter woes...and let me say, "Bad Kitty!" who? little 'ol me???

Becky, Suzy and Julie - thanks for continuing to sum up posts...it is VERY helpful!
Roladahlia - e-mail me this bootiful piccie of you - Pllleeeeeasssssse?
Gail - thanks for re-posting the sheep/dart game URL - that is a hoot! (this smilie brought to you compliments of Heidi)

OK - this completes my CP!
Off to go for a wee jog and then plant 350 bulbs (tulips, snow drops and hyacinths today)
BTW - it's suppose to be 86 here today! Too warm! but we are suppose to cool off drastically in a few days and maybe even get some desperately needed rain. bye bye for now!

I'm heading back to bed. I definitely did NOT get enough sleep.

No one around for awhile. I will go and see if I can get back to sleep. Finished all the puzzles.

Good afternoon all. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day/night where ever you are.

Since no one seems to be around I will have to get some work done. I need to go by the weekly groceries. For some reason, the beastie boys insit that I feed them. Older boy is going to make us breakfast tomorrow (with a little help from mom). Catch up with all of you later.

Just woke up..... I'm shocked that there were only 3 posts while I slept.
June... you need your sleep more than I do. SWEET DREAMS!

Heidi, I hope you had a nice nap. I am trying to leave my house but I keep getting distracted.

Yeah, it was pretty good.

Good luck leaving the house.

Morning all! Love reading the overnight posts!

June, I hope you got back to sleep when you left.

Heidi, glad you got some more sleep. You have unusual hours!

Tami, d2 cooked her first batch of spag bol last week and was sooo proud of herself. I guided her through the 'cheat' version first and will gradually help her upskill to the real deal! They both cook breakfast on our birthdays, but prefer hubby to prepare it at other times.

Suzy....I really wish my body would let me go back to "normal" hours. This Mono is so frustrating.

G'Day, ALL! I just have a minute to pop in and say Hello. I will revisit the dart-a-sheep game later (mentioned again on p. 234 or 235, I think). Great TOPP, Becky! Do you think all of us should ask Susan's Mom to adopt us? We would be one big happy family! (Well, I guess we already kind of are.) MizT, by now I hope the tech guys have worked out your pooter probs! Heidi, good luck finding a trainer for the 2 colts. I'm not sure "mixed results" is what you want. Sounds like you had a much-deserved nap! Good luck with planting 350 bulbs, Vici! Would you like some help? RolaDahlia, I hope you had fun at the fundraiser in your bootiful clothes and bootiful curls! June, I hope you got some sleep. Tami, I hope you got out of the house and to the grocery store for your weekly stock-up. Suzy, it's great that D2 prepared her first batch of spag bol, but what, exactly, is it? What is a cheat version?

Well, Ladies (and Gents, when they appear), I'm off to do some proof reading for hubby. (It's about 30 pages of family history he's working on.) Hope to see you later!

You must be proud, yet again, of Ebob. Learning to cook opens up a whole new world for her.

Hi Julie and Heidi, I've just been off reading easy. Jim's blog next.

The cheat version comes in a jar, brown the meat, add the jar, spice it up a bit more, bring to a boil, simmer and reduce.... The real thing starts with tomatoes...

Ebob is d1 Heidi, Ally is d2. Both have asked for cook books for Xmas. We say 'why' when you can get anything you want on the internet!

Ebob went to a friend's house yesterday and came home with a share of the banana cake they made together. Wish I'd had friends who liked cooking when I was younger! My mother is accomplished at many things, cooking is not one of them! Meat and three veges was her limit. Not even spag bol!

Ooooooh .... Banana cake......

I've got it straight now, Suzy. I don't know why I thought that Ally was the elder of the 2. I've seen their photos.

I'm listening to Demented Radio right now. They're playing "Tie Me Kangaroo Down". Hysterical!

Heidi I get that kind of stuff confused all the time!

In about an hour I will have the house to myself - on a Sunday! Ebob and hubby are off to Berkley for a baseball game, Ally is at a sleepover and I don't pick her up until 11am. I'm a bit worried about getting out of my street to go and get her though. I've heard that 9000 tickets to the air show have already been purchased. It starts at 10 so the road might be clear - I hope!

Love Rolf Harris and his old work. I'm Jake the Peg, trying to remember the wobble board one.... think they came out when I was the right age to appreciate them!

If we weren't within 10 posts of the TOPP, I would consider doing some work outside. Maybe I'm just lazy. Quiet day.

I'm not going to try to do anything until the house is empty. Hubby has lost a computer disc so I'm going to unbury the lounge room (how do they bury is so quickly????) and hope it turns up.... I suspect it will be under something, like a lounge...

Sunday here Heidi, sane people are sleeping late.

I'm Jake the Peg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um
With my extra leg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um
Wherever I go through rain and snow
The people always let me know
There's Jake the peg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um
With his extra leg, diddle-iddle-iddle

The day that I born (oh boy) my father nearly died
He couldn't get my nappies on, how matter how he tried
'Cos I was born with an extra leg, and since that day begun
I had to learn to stand on my own three feet
Believe me that's no fun

[Chorus]

I had a dreadful childhood really, I s'pose I shouldn't moan
Each time they had a three legged race, I won it on me own
And also I got popular, when came the time for cricket
They used to roll my trousers up
And use me for the wicket

[Chorus]

I was a dreadful scholar, I found all the lessons hard
The only thing I knew for sure, was three feet make a yard
To count to ten I used me fingers, if I needed more
By getting my shoes and socks off
I could count to twenty four

I'm Jake the [stops to count]

...to twenty five

I'm Jake the peg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um
With my extra leg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um
Whatever I did they said was false
They said "quick march" I did the quick waltz
Then they shouted at me "put your best foot forward" - but which foot?
I said "it's very fine for you, you only got a choice of two"
But me, I'm Jake the Peg, diddle-iddle-iddle-um
With the extra leg... diddle-iddle-iddle-um

There's an old Australian stockman, lying, dying,
and he gets himself up on one elbow,
and he turns to his mates,
who are gathered 'round him and he says:


Watch me wallabys feed mate.
Watch me wallabys feed.
They're a dangerous breed mate.
So watch me wallabys feed.
Altogether now!


Tie me kangaroo down sport,
tie me kangaroo down.
Tie me kangaroo down sport,
tie me kangaroo down.


Keep me cockatoo cool, Curl,
keep me cockatoo cool.
Don't go acting the fool, Curl,
just keep me cockatoo cool.
Altogether now!


Take me koala back, Jack,
take me koala back.
He lives somewhere out on the track, Mac,
so take me koala back.
Altogether now!


Let me Abos go loose, Lou, *
let me Abos go loose.
They're of no further use, Lou,
so let me Abos go loose.
Altogether now!


Mind me platypus duck, Bill,
mind me platypus duck.
Don't let him go running amok, Bill,
mind me platypus duck.
Altogether now!


Play your digeridoo, Blue,
play your digeridoo.
Keep playing 'til I shoot thro' Blue,
play your digerydoo.
Altogether now!


Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred,
tan me hide when I'm dead.
So we tanned his hide when he died Clyde,
(Spoken) And that's it hanging on the shed.
Altogether now!

What's the wobble board one Liz? That's going to drive me nuts until I remember it!

I kinda feel like a zombie today. AARRRRRRGGHHHHH.

Oooh I'd forgotten that verse! Doesn't he leave that one out now?

O O P S sorry
Good morning all
hows that for a start to the day
now lets sing along
