Jim @dorbitz as they say "it's a small world"

Katie @fyrqueen I do know that the jadeite Hens on Nest have been reproduced but I am not sure how to tell the difference.I think there is an actual webiste for all the repro Jadeite and I am sure Fran (dbfrogs_Fran @fran) would know. Do you have her as a friend on Facebook?

Thanks again everyone for the birthday wishes and thanks @fran for the cake I did have a lovely time celebrating with family and friends.

2 more days and I will be heading off to Bali. Can't wait!!

Heading off tomorrow morning(Friday) for a weekend away, camping .Its a motor bike Rally that the club Dh was a member and I am an Honorary member, holds every year. Lots of fun and laughter And I will see some ppl I only ever see once a year. Ppl from all over,that religiously make the ride every year.

Julie 🙂

@fran Fran, so good to see you posting here. I'm not on FB and have wondered how you were doing. Glad that everything has turned out well for you. Enjoy your GS, these are the best years!

@fran FRAN ... gee, it sure is nice to see you posting. Really miss you. Hope you continue to improve and feel 100% soon. Good luck with the frog jump!

HI to AMBER, JULIE, GEORGE, and MARSON.

@shellyrae37 SHELLY ... Look forward to seeing pics of your plates. I had to watch the Biggest Loser and Fashion show tonight. Funny to think I went a year with no TV and never missed it at all. But now that I have the TV, I have my evening favorite programs , particularly on Tuesday and Thursday that I don't want to miss. 🙂

@fran FRAN ... so glad to see you posting, but darn, I'm so sorry you are having such a plethora of health problems. You just can't seem to catch a break there. Sure hope the medicine works quickly and works well for you.

@shellyrae37 SHELLY ... I had a terrible time last night with my computer. I tried to get a St. Pat's gif as there were tons that were so cute, but every time I tried to save them they would only save as a bmp not a gif. And then if I tried to load them on my imaging host it won't accept the bmp. The reason we have the one I posted as it was the only one out of dozens that finally saved as a gif. Have no idea why this is happening.

Sorry that I'm of no help with your lovely items. Sure wish I knew.

@fran FRAN .... so glad to hear you are improving. We've really been missing you.

@enchantmentglass KELLI ... Your picture is, indeed, 1,000 times better. They look Italian to me ...

@fyrqueen KATIE ... wow, with all those sales. I'd never have that much luck selling stuff. Goodonya.

@itsagas BILL ... gee, you made me hungry. I stopped on the way home and bought some deli stuff and had a cold supper...boring.

@fran dbfrogs FRAN ... so good to see you. errata = a list of corrected errors that were in a book or writing. Oh, as I scroll further I see everyone has already answered. 🙂

@10bbg10 HELEN ... I want to get some more auctions up too, but I have to take my friend shopping tomorrow. Will see if I still have some energy left over.

@jessie JESSIE ... Good to see you. Hope all has been well for you.

@fran --- It is so good to hear that you are feeling better. Been worried about you.
I think that an author offers an 'errata ' as a list of all the errors in a particular book. Right ? Wrong?

I took more pics today. My fingers did not get so cold this time. The temps must have been several degrees warmer.

Got 3 auctions all ready to go. Will do at least 3 more tomorrow.

See y'all in the morning. Helen or bbg

@fyrqueen - we go down to Hatch at the end of summer, first part of fall and buy chiles right off the farm. 🙂 A friend has one of those big roasters, and we all get together and do a big chile roast, then peel and bag bunches of them and split them up between us all. Usually get enough to last us through at least the first part of the winter, we use them in/on/under/around everything, too.

Still fighting allergies here, head congested, and tickly throat. Was up off and on throughout the night for the past few days trying to clear my head and calm my cough. Have a lot I'd like to do today, but already thinking about how nice a nap would feel. 🙂

@fran dbfrogs FRAN ... so sorry you have been so ill. Do take your recovery slow and easy and don't overdo. Be sure to take Reen's advise, it's very important.

@wattleihavenext JULIE ... that shape looks exactly like my ivy ball! Thanks so much!

@sunwoman3663 JANICE ... The pattern for your spooner is English Hobnail and Thumbprint.

@10bbg10 HELEN ... like you, the free listing was also quite kind to me. 🙂

Hi to SHELLY, CARL, KATIE, REEN.

Thanks everyone for the kind words re the passing of my friend
Shelly @shellyrae37 The friend that just passed away was not the friend I spoke about before that was ill. This friend passed away very suddenly and very unexpected.As far as we all knew she was "healthy" So it has been a big shock to us all
Fran @fran I am so glad you are on the mend.... more ((((((hugs))))))
Gail @songbreeze Congrats on your sales!!
Julie

@songbreeze Gail: Way to go on the great sales!! Now that should get you motivated to list some more....get goin' now! 🙂

@fran Fran: Sure hope you get to come home from the hospital today...never a fun place to be. You made me smile with the wrinkled comment though 🙂

@wattleihavenext Julie: Please add my condolences for your friend. Very sad.

@fran dbfrogs FRAN ... so sorry to hear how ill you have been all week. That's a terrible amount of weight-loss in such a short period. Eat bananas, bananas, bananas...they have lots of potassium.

@wattleihavenext JULIE ... so sad to read of your friend's passing particularly when it was so unexpected. (((((Hugs)))))

@ver2us1 JANICE ... I print all my postage on-line and of course have free Delivery Confirmation on Priority, but was bowled over at the Post Office yesterday when someone asked for it and was told it cost 85¢ now!

@amber1986 AMBER ... sure hope your ankle is treating you kindly today.

@shellyrae37 SHELLY ... so glad they got you on a stronger medicine and you are responding well to it.

@justmim MIM ... I love a thermo cup, too, for hot and cold drinks as I am a "sipper" and it takes forever for me to finish a drink.

Yesterday's Buyer paid for their item, so I need to go wrap it up and get to the PO....

Fran @fran ((((((hugs)))))) to you & Doug.
Julie

@fran dbfrogs FRAN ... So glad that the surgery will not entail the degree of complexity and recovery time that the first surgery did. I know it will still be difficult but hopefully you will have a speedy recovery from it.

@wellingtonct LAURIE ... sorry for the residual problems you've had over the years from the car accident. Wishing you the best of continued recovery and I put you in my nightly prayer list.

@reen REEN ... hope you and DH are having a delightful time at the show today and good luck with sales! and @wattleihavenext JULIE ... wishing all the same to you at your swap meet today!

Just sold an item....eBay notice shows a Florida address...PayPal notice shows and Australia address. No note from the Buyer where to ship it which is a shame as I could have it to the Post Office in an hour. I sent her and eBay email, but if I don't hear from her soon, it will probably mean I won't be able to mail her item until Monday.

@10bbg10 HELEN ... what a lovely painting! I can see where you really like it.

Got a lovely email from @fran dbfrogs FRAN. She said I could share....
We had the most amazing vacation, we saw Humpback Whales, so close to the boat you could here them breath, one huge Male jumped completely out of the water!, I felt like I was with National Geographic, LOL. I got my computer back today, and the keyboard does not work!!!!! ;o( I also got a bad case of the Flu,I am starting to feel better, the fever is finally almost gone, it seems to go higher in the evening. We loved the food, our friends were great tour Guides, I loved the cobble stone roads. As soon as I feel better, I will get back with the Glassies.... I got some beautiful wine glasses, They are Threaded, amazing!
Oh and Danny got engaged...WooHoo;o)
Love, Fran
(You can post this if Ypu wish)
I sure missed you , and all my Glassie friends!

@george gabla GEORGE ... our church is very old so that little drive thru was built years ago before the advent of big extra tall vans and SUVs and Hummers and stuff. Guess they'll wind up building something a little more suitable to today's means of transportation. The van is a commercial van from one of the residential care homes. Hopefully they have good insurance coverage.

Time for bed so Good Night to All........
