I can!!

Looks like you are going to be the SA5 TOPP champion MizT.
I am looking forward to a quieter day. We went to D1 yesterday and finished the dresses. Still have to make the underskirts, when she has time to buy the material!!

And good morning to all who pop in to SA5 today.

Good Morning all!!

Liz - eeeeewwwwww, the grandma in denial joke!!! The bachelors were ... interesting ... too

Good Morning to our friends down under. About to start thinking about dinner here. So Good Afternoon/approaching Good Evening from this part of the world. Happy Father's Day to all of our special men, whether they post (vdV) or not.

The house is finally empty - apart from me - so will read some more news and then start doing STUFF

Hello, all. I have nothing particular to report except that I am still here. I'm happy about that.

OH Suzy, don't you hate doing stuff? Today has been a stuffless day here. I have a book, and I have my nose stuck in it and I am worthless today hehe.

watcha reading MizT?

RUBY, i am happy that I am here and happy that you are here also. Do you have time for a little chatting?

and BTW reading is NOT worthless!!!!

HI MARY, looks like we have a crowd gathering! YEAH>

I am reading Lonesome Dove

any good?

Mary, that depends on who you ask. My dad hated to see me up reading all night, which I did more than once while growing up. If he found me still reading when he got up before 5 am, he left a long list of chores for me, " no lallygagging around in bed today, wasting daylight" he wold say.

I am enjoying it, yes. I saw the made for TV movie that lead up to this part of the saga.

Looks like Suzy and Ruby got lost, forgot to check back in to see who was lurking, you think?

Oh MizT, what a wonderful day! Unfortunately a tornado seems to have gone through my house this weekend and I have to work to repair the damage.(it's a regular tornado this one, I've even named it - dad - the initials of the three culprits, though it implies one of them is worse than the others!)

Suzy, and would that implication have a bit of truth in it?

But, MizT, reading has enabled you to be the intelligent, knowlegable person we all love on this site

Posted at almost the same time MizT...

Ruby I am happy that you are still here. Same for all the rest of the SA5ers.
Hi Suzy do not work too hard. I have stuff to do as well but I am also haveing a relaxing day.
That means I will pop in here from time to time.
(Actually I have a fair amount of ironing I should do )

Mary, You mean that know-it-all who sneaks out occasionaly, always with an opinion on every subject?

I have loved to read ever since I learned how and read widely. One reason I love the internet, lots of stuff to read, and always something new to learn.

It's all about balance I think - my kids believe they can't read during the day, only at night... d1 reads most books in a night or two. She informed me on Friday that her English class has a reading period every week. She is reading 2 books for everyone one that is assigned. Her teacher pulls More...

MizT

I guess I should have greeted Julie and Mary who have also been here since my last visit.
Enjoy that book Tricia.

HI JUNE, good to see you too. You people iron a lot, I must live a very wrinkled existance hehe. I remember when every stitch of clothing we wore had to be ironed, and in summer in the south, with 6 of us at home and two outfits a day, sometimes three if we teens went out at night, I got my fill of ironing at a very young age.

Daddy bower bird is back! Checking me out again! They really love dog food these bower birds...

ironing?

Suzy, I read day and night, when I got a very good book. The particular day I am thinkin =g of, we had gone to the library when Dad came home from work, before supper. so I read while I was cooking dinner, I read on the front orch after eating, and when Dad sent me to bed, I read all night. when he More...

MizT, d1 was a late reader. At the end of first grade she was in the 'slow' reading group. Some kids were reading better in kindergarten. Then we moved to Oz. Due to different school years (Jan to Dec) here, she spent another 2.5 months in Year 1. For some reason her reading skills exploded and there's been no holding her back since.

Isn't it WONDERFUL when you get a book like that MizT

MARY, is iorning a foriegn concept to you also?

I wear knits, if I hang then carefully they do not need iorned. the few that are wrinkled, a brief tumble in the dryer, wrinkle free. Same for hubby's shirts and jeans.

LOL MizT - I've been known to have days like that - especially when a new Harry Potter came out! Except that I was rarely cooking dinner...

If God had wanted me to iron, he/she would not have invented drip-dry and knit fabric

Just saw an interesting tag to an quiz:

See how much you suck.

It was followed by:
Be confronted with shopping and lifestyle dilemmas and find out what kind of a drain you are on the planet.

which makes it all make sense

I took up ironing when I switched from clothes dryer to clothes line. Sigh.

oh yes, I love to get lost in a book. I love when it is a novel so well written, I feel like I am there.

It is almost a shock to put this book down and realize I am not in the hot desert of the Texas-Mexican border town , within sight of the Rio Grande, at a point where it is not so More...

I love that feeling too MizT. It is wonderful watching my daughters discover it too. Refreshes the feeling of wonder and makes me appreciate reading all over again....

Suzy, I find if I will tumble dry knits for only 5 minutes, then hang them on a clothes hanger, and hang outside to finish drying, they are wrinkle free. do this for my nice clothes. Everyday stuff, well the wrinkles get smothed out when they stretch across my girth More...

Close again, who will go over the topp??
