    OMG! I can't believe that I haven't been here since June!!!!! Needless to say so much has happened in all our lives!

    We are still here.

    Been back from our trip to California....travelled 7000 miles to shop in the RHS Store & to visit Hatquarters...and of course to see Cher in Vegas....

    While we travelled through all those wonderful places we followed the events of the economy & election on CNN...Hey we saw the CNN blding in California...!

    We hot tubbed our way across the USA and back!!!!

    We were back for our own election....and were just in time to thaw the Thanksgiving(Canadian eh!) turkey and pop it in the oven before Chrissy, Raul and Miss Kitty were at the door! Did the raking of the leaves and had a fantastic visit from Dear QMS Betty Ann, Margy and Jan!!!!The Southern Ontario Gals!!!

    So I am now sorting photos from the trip and thought you might like to see the ones I took at the RHS Store & Hatquarters...

    Although I did not see my name in the Hatquarters Visitors Guest List(did you???)I was there!!!.It was a dream of mine..Am so glad we did stop there...DH has some difficulty with my wee red camera..but sending the blurry ones along anyway..as they are all precious...

    Kind of have a sad feeling about the whole financial stuff..that is going on...and sorry that the Store didn't work out...but Hey We Shall Survive!!!

    Have a great day...keep well..and happy and having FUN!!!

            Well...Greetings Divas!

     What a great weekend in Hamilton!  Kay Star said it all!  We did have a couple of adventures..as well as the fab convention!!!  I wonder if that  giggle-y Russian lady ..will indeed start her own RHS chapter????? Not to mention the lovely Asian  who wanted her mother-in-law to join us?????  What about that 'petticoat guy' Jennifer????                            Can you believe I did indeed touch those kimonos ..to check out how they were hung? What was I thinking??? Wasn't!!!! And that security guard...young enough to be my grandson! He did come over afterwards and tell us that little story  re the film request...

    Kay those Coder fellows were Navaho soldiers...I saw a movie ...told the whole story of how they were selected re Morse code in Navaho...baffled the enemy...Also saw a documentary...They were behind enemy lines...                                                                                                                                                          How wonderful for you to have met a daughter....of such a hero...

    Now back home and trying to download my pics...from a foreign memory card..that I had to purchase because of...well that's a long story...Anyway...it is foreign to me and my computer...I finally figured it out...Now to select & will share photos...!!!

    Everyone..have a great day...peace, serenity and a wee bit of quietness to you all!
