Thanks Gabby. To be honest I felt humbled with her reaction, wish I had just given her the bear though.

it's definitely a long grieving process - glad the bear helped a bit- maybe for both of them   Going thru this myself now with my Mom.  We bring Italian cold cuts, cheeses & olives  & sourdough bread - stuff they don't serve at her care home. 

I'm sorry to hear that Terri. Not a pleasant part of the ageing process for so many people or their families. It's wonderful your Mom has a caring, thoughtful daughter.

Have a nice time!

We did this last week-as account had ours ready after a month long trip-paid the IRS -state-and next years self employment taxes-it was a big hit-wallet is much lighter now.The best part is finishing it up

Just got mine back from my accountant. I’m happy to let somebody else be the expert. He told me to make extra estimated payments at the end of last year, so the amounts due now are not too bad. 

Up to 158.9 overnight (regular gas). My daughter just bought a Chevy Volt electric car, expensive vehicle but she doesn't have the $80 plus fill ups anymore. 

Ours has been creeping up. Got over $3 a gallon this week. Hasn't been that high in a long time.

$3 a gallon? Crazy cheap!!!! I just did a stats search, have to go back to Feb 2003 for our price/litre to be the equivalent of that.

Luckily, no.  But our petrol prices have always been higher than your gas. 

When we rented a truck camper from Calgary, we were a bit aghast at the engine size/fuel consumption, but then found out price was a quarter/third of UK price.

@Chilly I had a cousin from Germany come to visit back in 2000. She wanted to pay for a tank of gas in my 4 cylinder hatchback, because it was the least she’d ever seen gas priced at. It was a bit of a gas war, and the price was only (CAD) 45 cents a litre at the time. I think it’s $1.60ish now.

My sister acts the same way when she visits me.   The gas in Kansas can be half of what she pays in California.  Denice

enjoy!

Amen sistah.  

The smoke it moving out of our area this week,  I finally got to see the sun setting in the smoky sky last night.  Pink sun with grey skies made me feel like I was in a Star Wars Movie.     Denice

That's really horrible for someone to take something so generously placed for our furry companions .......

Part of me wants to put another bowl out. I would like my faith in human decency restored, and yet I need to be realistic.

Maybe put out a piece with a small defect?    Try it again.   On the outside chance, the bowl was empty and whoever got it just thought it was being discarded?   I make a lot of little signs on slabs around  and use around my retail store.   Maybe put a little stone sign out there  "Fur Babies" Only!  Or something like that.  

I usually give people another chance.   Although, it rarely works out.

How nice! Pottery customers are maybe the best among the whole retail world. Sometimes I see the types of people buying other things, like high-end jewelry, and I think “thank goodness that person is not in my booth talking about herself for an hour.”

how was the food???

Couldn't make Anacortes this year, hope to get down there next year. (maybe with Laura) We passed on the bbq, we have an old dog at home and needed to get back before he had an accident. The invitation warmed my heart, nice to be reminded  there are still very kind people in the world.

I have had many a post lately I thought I posted not appear.

Glad you brought it up I hate to always be the one saying this software sucks at times.Its all happened since the crash last weekend .

Yes, it is fabulous!!! I don't use any other tools anymore. Except very occasionally a loop tool with a square bit. But rarely.

Ceramic jugs keep your water cool! Have fun!

thanks! just a quick 3 day break so staying fairly local. no cells, internet, electricity, just peace and quiet

and lots of early morning bird calls!

I can relate-thats why I live where its in the 60 year around

Market was okay but not brilliant. Think customers had more sense than I did and stayed indoors with the ac on. We don't usually get this hot so not acclimatized to it at all, especially in June.

that's why I moved back to Montana.

Not an Urban legend...I grew up in the Queens borough of NYC among kids who had never been out of their neighborhood, A few (about 7%)believed...
