• Thanks for the Birthday wishes . I had a great day .

  • We are having a few cool days here in East Texas . Wish my back would get better , so I could work in the yard .

  • Thank you Marson for the birthday wishes .

  • Good Sunday morning to all..
    Julie , so sorry for the loss of your dear Mum.... I miss mine everyday .There's no love , like a Mother's love.

    I know I don't post very often , but I do read the board often ...Thanks for all the birthday wishes , but I really don't feel any older. Well ....... some days I do LOL .
    Carl ..I love to read about whats going on in your neck of the woods . Love to read about your snow especially , which we really don't see here . Love all the pictures you show too . I do understand you missing Emma more . I think all grandparents have one they are a bit closer to.
    Your temps are far better than here in east Texas. It is so hot and humid every day , I mostly do not want to get out . We need rain so badly and it seems to rain all around us , but still misses us by a couple miles.
    We only have cucumbers in the garden .Fig tree is producing so much , now I have to find someone to take them . I have made a lot of strawberry preserves , which we love . Its even good on ice cream..... We can a lot each year, but not so much this year. We have a farm down the road where we picked blueberries and blackberries, so have a good supply of those .
    Hope everyone has a wonderful productive day..... Guess I need to start mine.

  • Good afternoon everyone ...Love all the pretty glass....I read the board everyday , but for some reason , I very seldom post .. Guess I am at a loss for words. Just kidding .
    Hope everyone has a wonderful day . Still praying for you Gail.... Love all your crochet work......

  • Don ....absolutely love your glass collection . Thank you for sharing it with us .

  • Happy Birthday JimL ...May you have many many more..... Enjoy your day.

  • Welcome Josie ..... You are beautiful !

  • Saying hello to anyone still here..

    Carl ...love your kitchen . You guys did a great job.... Love the colors you picked out too .

    Katie ...I thought I might find you over here..... Guess you have been busy..
    If anyone gets some rain they do not need , please send it here........ We do have a slight chance next week ..

    Wendy ... you are so talented and Gail is too . You both do wonderful work and you put me to shame ... But I do try ...... I would love to learn to knit . I have all the books and knitting needles , and I can start off , but that is as far as it goes .

  • Julie .. that is beautiful...... Good to see you back also.

    I would post some glass sometime , but not sure how to do it ...... Do we have a practice board ?

  • Good morning ..

    Don ...love your glass.

    Carl ...your kitchen is really looking good .... I check on the progress everyday or so.

    Jim ...love this morning coffee.... It taste good too .

    I need to finish my coffee and start getting ready for some GS's... Going back to the same place today ,as they are suppose to bring out more . Bought 29 pieces ,sterling crown princess silverware for almost nothing. Would you believe $10 ?

  • Gail ....so glad you had fun with your kids........Big Hugs to you ♥ ....Tincey

  • Hello good people...sorry I did not have time to post yesterday, but wanted to tell all of you a big thank you, for the Birthday wishes. I canned 10 quarts of peaches and made 2 chicken pot pies ,yesterday . So you can see I was very busy . The kids came over last night with flowers and Dove candy ( my favorite ) . I really stay busy most days this time of year . I made Salsa week before last and strawberry fig perserves last week. I think I need to slow down, don't you think so . We are going out to Ralph & Kacoos Restaurant tonite . We love seafood and they serve the best , we have been told .

    Gail ...they should have given you two blue ribbons for your coverlet . You do awesome work ...I crochet , but nothing like that . Work awaits , so best get up and start..

  • JimL ...Your flower display is absolutely beautiful .

    Katie ...glad your family is ok . I love cypress trees...We are having the huge oak tree cut in a day or two .I sure will miss it . The huge limbs go over my house , low at that ..... Thank goodness no baby squirrels in the four nests , way up high . I am having them to leave the stump , table top size. I have a round glass top to go on it , so
    I will feed the squirrels and birds there. I might paint a scene on it also .

    Wish we would get some rain .....Weather man says 30% tomorrow , we'll see ! We have to water every morning and that is getting old .

  • Good morning everyone...Carl , your post about getting shot ,made me laugh .Thanks
    Hope you all have a good day.

  • Hello everyone ....

    Carl , love your kitchen colors ...If I were you, I would ask Google , how to remove wallpaper ...You might already know , but I would not have a clue ...I don't know how we did without Google all those years lol . Love it !! It will even show you how to repair a washer .
    Love to read about everyone's day..... now back to the drawing board ..housework ,that is !

  • Carl....I like the first one also ...looks so crisp & clean ...... I love the choice of the cabinets and hardware , also .

  • Carl ...I would love to have a large kitchen like that ... I love to read your posts everyday..... I don't post very often , but I do read all the happenings....

    Hope everyone had a great Fourth of July .... All is well in E. Texas , but very hot and humid .

  • Good morning everyone ....
    Wish you had some of our weather & we could have a little of your snow . I live in E.Texas and we had 70° yesterday .... My jonquils are in bloom and we have onions planted already . Never had to buy an onion all year long . Still have some hanging in the outside washroom.

  • Good morning everyone..
    So sorry to read of Nancy's passing.I clicked on members (top) to read her last message here. She was a great Lady.
    So glad Curt gave us the option of posting pix. Now if I can just figure out how to do it . I might attempt it ,with the board not being busy this early in the morn lol.

  • Good morning everyone... Very nice weather here in East Texas. I have a booth at the flea market in Greenwood Louisiana and it really keeps me busy. We have been having to detour , but the bridge is open for a couple more months. We were told - a dispute with the contractor .......... I am really happy that it will open back up ,as it was a real pitta to detour from where we live.
    I will try to show a beautiful piece of glass from a GS ,I bought yesterday sometime later this evening. No time at the moment to figure out how to post

  • Good morning
    Gail ...absolutely beautiful GD's you have there...I only have one & she is very special to me. She is eleven , going on 16 lol ! They grow up too quick !
    I am using wifi from my phone to connect here. And I don't know if I like it or not . I am trying to get use to this phone ( Droid ) also . Too much for me to remember lol.
    I have a couple booths at the flea market in Louisiana . This weekend ,they were buying more furniture ,so I did not sell too much. So will take some furniture next week , for sure . We have new owners and they are really going to improve a lot of things,I hope .

  • Good evening everyone ...... Thank you all for the BD wishes. I had forgotten my password, but I finally found it . Hope to chat with you more often . I do read the board, so have kept up with most everyone . I have a lot of glassware that I need an id on, so will post some in a few days . Will post again tomorrow.

    Tincey

  • Thats great news Carl.... Wishing her the best !!

  • Good morning !

    Hey Katie..how are you ? Shelly ... love all those glass items you have been showing...

    Carl ..thanks for the glass goodie today. I bookmark all of them, as I want to show my sister. Hope Marley gets to play in the finals.
    Just wondering if I can post a couple glass pics , on here from Auctiva ? Do I have to use Tinypic?

    I will check back in a little while.

  • Good morning to all...

    Carl.... I agree with Katie and the rest of the glasses...keep those glass goodies coming. I am putting each one in my favorites .
    Julie ... I saw the fires on good morning America. Hope you are safe. We have burn bans , but it does not stop some people. A while back , one got out of control and burned 40 acres here in east Texas. Three very old houses that no one lived in , but now the memories are gone. The fire Marshall fined her only $500 , but said the home owners could sue if they want too.
    Hubby is busy packing the trailer with a couple tents and stuff to set up for the Highway 80 garage sale , from Dallas to Arkansas.It might go farther than that . Friday & Saturday, now if the rain just stays away .

  • ok I am back on the map .......Thank you Curt

    Wendy , beautiful afghans. You are very talented

    Gail ...precious GD of yours .She looks just like her GM too.

    Julie .. so sorry for your friend. At least she got out safe.

  • I don't understand that . Rockport texas is hundreds of miles from me . I live on the edge of Louisiana, about 20 miles to be exact.

  • LOL Curt ......guess I'll just have to stay overlapped on them , cause I ain't going nowhere LOL LOL .

  • Good afternoon ... Wonder what happened ! I was on the map and now I am not ...... Anyone know ??

  • Gail ...I did print it out, but I wanted to be able to see the glass too...so I figured it out .Here is what I did .

    GO TO MAP
    SCROLL DOWN TO CARL'S " GOODIE POST "
    CLICK ON VIEW (SIDE )
    THEN CLICK BOOKMARK

    I could not figure out how to put yesterday's in , so I just sent it to my email for now

  • Julie ..I just read your post about air conditioner's. We live in E. Texas and the temps are terrible. We turn ours on around May until just after thanksgiving. The humidity is terrible . Could not live here without one.

  • Good morning everyone ....
    We are supposed to get rain later today & we could use it.
    I am on the map & it was very easy directions. Thank you Curt
    Carma ...I can't hardly wait for your next glass goodie. Just wish it was some way to save it . Thank you for sharing this with us .
    Next weekend , here around E. Texas , we have a highway 80 sale . I have a friend on the route that lives on the main stretch. She called and asked if we wanted to set up in her yard. Of course I said yes !! My hubby will make a pot of gumbo and there is a burger place down the street. Just hope the rain holds off, for at least Friday & Saturday , the days we will have it. My daughter loves to redo small pieces like footstools, side tables etc. So she will be there also.

  • Afternoon Gail...

    Looks like you made a haul . Thanks for the laugh about your foot and the cat LOL . I needed that.
    Lazy afternoon around here. O I have plenty to do , just don't want to . Would rather watch my westerns on tv.
    I thought we would go selling this weekend , but the rain is coming in , so we had to cancel out.
    Wendy ...I crochet a little too, but have only made dishcloths lately . Well not really lately , but a few months back. I don't do the fancy stuff like you Gail , as I don't read patterns very well. I can read a sewing pattern , but thats about all.

  • Gail ...I go by TINCEY......... of course if anyone wants to send me a big check , then make it ISIDEE LOL
    Rain has gone , but it is gloomy now. I didn't want to go anywhere today anyway .

  • I believe some of you have gotten me mixed up with Wendy LOL

    My name is Tincey ....1citydude

    I am the one with the garden and I live in E Texas. My real name is ISIDEE .

  • Good morning everyone
    Its raining here in E.Texas and we sure need it. My garden especially. The okra is plentiful & the bell peppers are still producing like crazy. We preserve a lot of the veggies , but I am ready to stop all that work lol. Our gas is down to 3.19 .
    Happy BD to Ruth.Hope you have a good one and many more.
    Tincey 1citydude

  • Good morning everyone--- thanks for the warm welcome
    I feel I know several of you , as I have read the chat since it first started.
    I live in East Texas --- I have a lot of glass I know very little about, so will be asking help in the days to come.
    Mornings are cool now , but as you know the temp rises around here .Will be so glad for cooler weather.We barely ever get snow , but would love it ( I think )
