Actually, I was chasing my chickens!!! LOL! They got out right before it started raining. Also, I was at church like a good girl teaching Sunday school. Yeah, I've seen about 20 mulch guys so far... give or take a few.Most of them were fairly hot.There was a really nice motorcycle and matching Italian car if I remember correctly. I am way better looking than both mulch women too. Anyway, I could keep em busy! GARDENING like Barb said! PJ

Good Evening/Morning Book junkies, I have not been around for a few days...thought I would check in on the book swap and happenings. Speaking of "Goodwill" and books.....I chuckle (just a little) when I think of a lovely, classy lady who had many books....many, many books. She kept them in boxes around her home. She always said that one day she would donate them. But for the time being they would stay put as she often would read them again. I offered to take them to Goodwill and she would always say no. In fact, she did not want anyone even looking through the boxes of books. Her husband got to the point that he could not stand it anymore....boxes of books everywhere. While his wife was gone one day, he took several of the large boxes of books to Goodwill for donation (yes, without telling her). When his wife returned home, she noticed that many of her beloved boxes of books were no longer "home". She became very upset and I mean very upset!!! She screamed and yelled and ranted and raved and called her husband every name in the book....I know because I was their. She was one pissed off woman. I did not blame her, especially after I heard why she was really so ticked off. Yes, she loved her romantic novels, mysteries, best sellers and biographies. But in her beloved books in so many boxes, she had hidden money to the sweet tune of $15,000. One book had $100, another book had $300, and so on. After she told her husband of the money that HE GAVE AWAY, I think he nearly died. He never touched one of her books again. To this day when I pick up a used book at a garage sale or donation facility, I page though it. You just never know what you might find in a book...a good mystery, lots of tears, laughter, romance and escape or.....a few bucks!!! Let me fetch the closest book. Page 56, sentence 5....... "Many pieces require highly intricate finishing touches and their tiniest details must be treated almost microscopiclly". Off to watch the news! Happy Wednesday! Annie previous 313 + 18 = 331 books

Ann, I think I lost my head about participating in this! What was I thinking? I don't want any more stuff, as great as it might be, and have asked friends and family to not buy me anything for gifts, so why would I do this? I guess because it sounds so fun, kinda like Santa finding you through cyberspace. If it's not too late, please take me off the list and I'll enjoy vicariously (as I have in reading about previous swaps) everyone else's bounty. If it's too late and you've paired me, or need an even # of people, I'll still do it (with enthusiasm). Thank you!

I got mine and I will be posting pics as soon as the glue I used to fix the frame is dry. I mailed mine, If it hasn't gotten there yet it should in a day or so according to the dc. Things are moving slow in the midwest due to the ice storm. We only got the fringes, but places between my place and the packages destination got really pasted with the ice. Thanks to the member who emailed me and let me know to come check the forum.
