Hi everybody around the world!
Welcome to my page,  here in the eastern edge of the Midwest US.
Come in, make yourself comfy, have a beer (Moosehead, my favorite) or a glass of white wine and don't forget the chocolate buckeyes!  If you've never had a buckeye, let me explain:  Ohio is called the "buckeye state" and our state tree of course is the buckeye tree.  The Ohio State Buckeyes are a great college football team (although I'm not much of a fan, having grown up in Maryland).  The buckeye tree produces a nut that is round and dark brown, with a tan spot at the top.  Around here you can buy chocolate buckeye candies - with peanut butter inside!  Yum!

A little about me --  I have 3 kids, 2 cats, 1 bunny and a husband who works too much.  I work part-time during the winter/spring preparing tax returns for H&R Block, while trying to grow my website design business (Midwest Web Design -- www.MidWebDes.com) in my "spare" time, as well as a new business selling comfortable clothing for women at parties.  Great quality stuff!  New division of an old company. www.myjockeyp2p.com/lindamustric if you'd like to see the catalog.

Our son - 18, just graduated HS, daughter - 15, 10th gr, other daughter - 13, 8th gr.

Our labradoodle puppy, Rocky, is 3.

♪♪I'm late, I'm late! For a very important date!♪♪ Linda! The elephant's name is Gewurtz? Oh! He DRINKS Gewurtz! Geez, Stella! I'm soaked! You've watered down the pitcher of margaritas I brought! OOOH! Got to get some of Becky's buckeyes! Who flipped the elephant out of the hammock?

Well, It looks as if I completely missed out on the party, and I'm so sorry about that, but birthday wishes are on-going...and always in style. As far as age goes, you are one day older than you were yesterday....and never 'over the hill'!

Shhhhhhhhhh....I'll just sneak back in here to pick up my elePANT suit that I left by the hot tub. Completely forgot to take it with me when I left yesterday. No wonder I got a lot of strange looks on my walk home.

Thanks for the wonderful party, Linda!!!

Another sneak back person. (Boy howdy am I glad Jane retrieved her elePANT suit before I returned. My cardiologist can't cast a spell big enough to get me over seeing something that laying about). Why I stopped back in; I wanted to make sure there wasn't a ferret running around loose. Nobody reported seeing or bringing one but that doesn't mean one couldn't have snuck in without letting anyone know.

(from the hammock) Yoo Hoo! Jeb! There's a furry little critter here. Says her name is Ferret Faucett. She's looking for you

Thanks, Gail. I just didn't have the words. Kathy, don't be so sure the margaritas were watered down. How many and how long swinging in the hammock can fuzzy your perception. That could have been someone else's elePANT suit being tossed about by an errant zephyr and you just think it identified itself as it went by.

Rena, check the bottom of the hot tub for Emil's accordion. His wife wants to make sure that is where she left it.

I still haven't seen Linda - do you really think that she went SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW?

I just put Katherine Mc Phee's version up on my U-tube to honor Linda for allowing us to party here.

Linda - Hope this is a memorable one for you SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW!

Your problems may be over Linda, I think ferrets are allergic to gardenias. Try setting the gardenias on the dining room table alongside an open can of sardines. If the sardines are still there next morning, the gardenias worked.

to you Linda! I think I have missed all of the festivities. I hope is was a great birthday for you! I have brought you a gift of Sudoku puzzle books!

Gday Linda, I see you finally got the place cleaned up. It's a risky business letting this Sudoku mob have free rein on your page. As far as parties go, this one was relatively well-behaved...except when the elephant wanted to do belly-flops into the hot-tub! Everything was going fine until the moose slipped in unnoticed. You should have heard Jumbo squeal! Tragic.
With thanks once again,
Gail

My thanks again to all who helped me celebrate this momentous occasion in my life. Now that it's over I'm thinkin, OK girl, you're not the first person in the world to turn 50! Some days I feel really old (I'm getting some arthritis I think) and some days I'm really tired (I think it's from menopause or staying up late doing puzzles) but other days I feel like I always did, so I guess it's really no different. And I think the ferrets are finally gone!

Linda,
Love the slogan "50 is the new 30"!
I remember when I turned 40, I wore a badge that said "I'd rather be 40 than pregnant"!
I'm 60 in January and thinking I might make a sign that says "I'd rather be pregnant than 60"!
Omg, how time flies.
