The girls are growing so fast ... I swear they seem taller every day! They're thriving and I'll be sure to post some pictures at the first opportunity!

What is your favorite low fat and/or low sodium fast food lunch? I know that these days most fast food places offer more variety in healthy eating than they used to ... I personally like Subway's veggie wrap. What's your favorite?

<t>Good morning all and thank you for your kind comments. <br/>

My mother hasn't disconnected from the world around her but she is full of turmoil as is to be expected. Her anxieties often seem like they are overwhelming her. She is limited physically in her activities so I guess I was just ...

Still no snow, chonsigirl! But I haven't given up hope yet!

Wow, many thanks for the warm welcome! It's not quite so warm in my part of Virginia this week ... damp, windy and about 45 degrees.

It looks like Virginia is well represented on the site! I'm fairly beaming with pride!

<t>My father passed away suddenly in mid December from a massive heart attack. It was an unexpected blow and my 76 year old mother is trying her best to cope but I know she is in pain. On the days when she can't fix her mind on anything, I was thinking maybe needlepoint might be a good way to help ...

Oh you're so right about it being hardy! That's one of the reasons I'm partial to it ... well ... that and the beautiful flowers!

Have any of you ever been able to successfully grow a Rose of Sharon bush from seed?

Wizard of Oz and Lonesome Dove! Could they BE any different??

<t>I usually watch DVDs so I'm always behind on current movies! This past weekend, I watched "Rumor Has It" starring Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Costner. It was amusing and watchable which is really all I ask of the romantic comedy genre. <br/>
<br/>
I have "Happy Gilmore" to watch next weekend. I ...

I'm all over the place music-wise!! There's not much music that I don't like. I generally like a fast beat and upbeat lyrics but I can be swayed depending on the song. Today I listened to 2 CDs .. Def Leppard and Patsy Cline. I swing from genre to gentre.

<t>In mid November, I lost my beloved 15 year old Otterhound mix to "old age". I still miss him terribly but we did get 2 puppies in early December that are so wonderful! They are two sisters and their father is a St. Bernard and the mother is a lab. They are now 13 weeks old. We are tickled pink ...

Not guilty!

Ever been given too much change during a purchase transaction and kept it without pointing out the error?

Highlights magazine (for Children!)

Without a doubt, my favorite cake is a coconut cake complete with little coconut shavings on top. (sighsssssssss dreamily)

<t>Starting the year off bright and sunny with the temperature hovering around 40 degrees. It's a pretty day (after 3 weeks of overcast skies and rain, anything would seem pretty!!) <br/>
<br/>
I love snow, probably because we don't get very much here so there's a lot of novelty value for me. For ...

<t>Hello from rural south/central Virginia! This is such an interesting site and although I joined a few months ago, I haven't had much opportunity to post. After submitting this posting, I'm going to peruse around the site some more and hopefully start pulling my weight posting-wise! <br/>
