5th warm day... Dogs come in with mud
6-8th warm day... Dogs come in with lots of mud
9-10th warm day... Mud comes in with a little bit of dog.

When does the weather change there? I know when we lived in the UP OF Mi., the ice on the lake cracked and popped in May. It sounded like the Fourth of July! We had our first big snows in October. I really loved it there, though. Winters were fun, summers were cool!
It starts to get warmer in May, but can't count on it till June. Usually open the pool the end of may or so. We need to get a heater for it so we can use it more than three months! Summers are nice, but when you look at the whole picture the winters are toooooooo long.

A message for MG: quote:
We too will remember your son in our prayers. I will print his pic (if it is ok) and take it to church and ask the pastor and congregation to say a special prayer for him. And all the other men and women as well.
I took Derek's pic and gave it to the prayer group at the church, they meet every M-W-F. They will distribute it to the other church branches as well as the the radio station at their school. It is so encourging to see youug people like Derek willing to fight to protect us and our freedoms.
Jake 
Jake....Thank you so much. That is so nice. I will share it with Derek the next time I get to talk to him. It really touches him that people he's never met wish him well. And all the troops need to hear the support. It hurts them alot when they hear of the protests. Believe me, no one wants the war to end more than the soldiers. (And their moms) Here is a picture from last Saturday of the horrible sand storms they have. This is where Derek lives/works now. The color looks neat in a photo, but imagine breathing in that dust! 
PS Jake is my dad's name! And Derek told me he would use it if he has a son some day!! Cool

Good morning everyone!! ...Jake, what a wonderful thing to do!!

Oh, heh, good morning to all.
Getting our taxes done this afternoon
We sold the building where I had my business, so the capital gains taxes will be awful. One of the main reasons I quit my retail business was the taxes. There was a tax for everything and I really got peeved when I had to send more for taxes than my older son made in the Air Force all year. I thought of just putting in a note saying "Since this is more than you pay my son to protect us, I'll just give it to him and save you the trouble!" Or, write the check for 1 cent less and put in a penny! They have to do ALOT of paper work for that. heheheheheeehhheh
I may be a grump tonight! Cross my fingers it's not so bad. Last year sucked! I HATE tax time..... s c a r e y

Good afternoon all!
It's -2 degree C here, and the sky is a bright blue with not a hint of cloud. Wonderful!
Mory has inspired me to get back on my diet, so I had muesli for breakfast, pitta bread with chicken salad for lunch, banana and apple for elevenses and I'll have trout with steamed veg for tea.
Goodbye rice pudding and cream!

I don't know, squeaky, your diet sounds scrumptious to me! 
I'm sure it's a case of "what you can't have, you immediately want!"
Hot puddings are really tempting when the temperature drops down to -8 or so....we don't have any heating in the house beyond a log fire in the lounge, so it's fairly cold at nights just now and a lovely bowl of rice pudding is just wonderful!
My main problem with this diet thing is that I'm struggling against nature. I'm only 4'11", but that's because I was born with abnormally short legs from the knee down. From the knees up I'm built like a person who should be 5'10". Because my muscles are weak and my joints aren't very good (they've been rebuilt in a lot of places: clever surgeons!) I was told that I shouldn't ever go over 7 stones (that's 98 pounds).
That's low even for a person who is normally 4'11", but for a person who is 5'10" it's positively emaciated! I'm 9st 7lbs (133lbs) at the moment and I'm getting trouble with my back, hips, knees and ankles, so I've got to try and get down to at least 8st, if I can.
The medical advice on this is rather confusing - on the one hand there was the "don't go over 7" thing, but another orthopaedic surgeon said that was ridiculous, and that I should just "accept that you have a severe disability, and use sticks or a wheelchair".
Personally I'll try and walk a middle route - with WALK as the operative word!! I must remind myself of that whenever I feel hungry.

I cannot imagine living without central heat or A/c today. I remember when I was working and traveling, living in many place without these conveniences. Never got totally used to the discomforts! How spoiled we Americans are!
