Joanne- I wasn't able to get back to you, our computer was ill over the weekend. Actually, our mouse died. By the time we found out what was wrong, it was Tues. I got really behind in email and TuD responses. Sorry you won't be able to join us on the 10th of June in Philly. Maybe we can meet up some other time. Soon you will be busier with your new g-daughter. I am sure you will visit her whenever you can. Hope your operation was successful and you will have a quick recovery. Take care. Cat

Hi Jonanne, Hope that you are feeling better after your operation. Hope that your recovery goes well. I am thinking about you and hope that you are not hurting.

Hello Joanne. I have taken a little breather. Beryl hit about 8 last night with pounding wins and rains. It slammed my house and windows but no damage. Rained off and on today we expect more tonight. Thank God Russ is seeing the doctor tomorrow. He needs answers why is he purple from the knees way up his back. We know it is COUMADAN but it never acted like that before. I was thinking 68 years ago I was in the Navy. All the parades and concerts were wiped out due to Beryl. I am doing ok. Tom has been here 5 days. It looks like Russ will have to depend on that walker. How are things with you? I hope yu are feeling better and having good BG readings. Take good care. I care. HUGS,Reed

Hi Jonanne, I saw that sweet picture of Samantha in her pretty dress with her brand new pink car. Today I pulled out some of the old pictures of Jesse. He hates when I do that and catches me pouring over the old days, always embarrassed about it. He hates having his picture taken now too, always running the other way when therre is a camera out. I found this one when we were at Fort Bragg NC of him in his red car that he got for Christmas and I thought that you might enjoy it. On the table behind was a neat toy. It was a little dump truck full of marbles that traveled around and it automatically dumped the marbles in different spots on the "road" as it went along.
Here our weather is nice and sunny, a little overcast but very hot and humid. Looks like partly cloudy for us until after Monday and then we are going to get some T-Storms. Hope your gardening went well today!

Good morning Joanne ♥
I'm staying home today. I woke up with the start of a migraine headache, mostly due to the heat and humidity...but I'm sure the stress of the report cards has a role to play there (102 of them)! Though it gets loud here with the little ones, at least we have AC....and a bed! With my classroom like an oven at times, I would end up feeling like the bottom of the birdcage! Our kids and theirs are still here, but not for much longer. Our son Timothy and his wife are interested in a quaint house not too far from ours, likely moving in the end of June. Our daughter Danielle, after much searching, has filled an application for a lovely apartment in a quiet area, a stone throw from the main library, the theatre, the art gallery and the library. So you see, we may soon be back to our boring quiet lives after all ;)
So excited for you, about to be grandma to another sweetie! Timothy and Steph are planning for a third and last child once they've settled into their house....and hoping for a little girl.
Hugs....linda

Hey!! Just want to explain (splain, as Ricky Racardo would have said!)that the reason why I was off for a bit, had to do with the computer getting a virus...then intalling new security....and of course the can of worms that usually opens up!!!
You are looking absolutely FAB in your new pic!!!

Hello Joanne. Sorry for th neglect but beinf Florence Nightingale takes up my time. New trick..instead instead of yelling Reed. Russ now uses his cell phone and calls me on the land line. COUMADAN test was 5.2 should be 2. He is tested all the time. They think the antibiotocs raised it and those big blotches on his hip and leg were from the COUMADAN..he sees doctor tomorrow. Tom here for 5 days. A big help to me. This afternoon we are going to the medical supply place to get something to help him get out of bed .My BG 102. How are you doing? How is your garden? Rain all around but none in St. Aug...so dry. I hope all is well with you. Take good care. HUGS,Reed
THE AGING PROCESS WOULD SURE SLOW DOWN IF IT HAD TO WORK ITS WAY THROUGH CONGRESS.

Hi there, Jonanne, Congrats on being featured, you look like you are glowing. So proud of you. Hope things are going well in your busy life. Lots

Joanne - I had no idea you were the Joanne of the Type 1 Females group on Facebook - duh....
I had the pleasure of meeting Cynthia Zuber at a Minneapolis meetup a couple of months ago.
Yikes, what a small world!
