One day perhaps I'll stop one of my propane delivery routes and meet up with a group of you guys.

Oh- I've got to pick up one of your books. I need to get back into reading. I've gotten so lazy and my brain needs some good excercise. What's something you'd suggest? What do you think on of your better writings is?

Thank you for the welcome, Sandra! I do so very much enjoy reading your posts.

I'm more of a suspense and mystery person. Hoag, Grisham and PD James to name a few authors.

Please keep me in the loop when your published work is finally released. I want to read them for sure.

Actually, the plans were scrapped last night. If your husband does have to work, there is a neat little 4th of July event at the NC State fairgrounds, starts at like 3 I think, until 9ish when the fireworks start. Its free.

Why thank you! I'm quite proud of them both, as well as the one on the way!

Sandra,sorry I didn't get to write anything on your post but I liked what you said.I agree,too many people can't see the forest for the trees.They get so wrapped up in their religion,they forget about God and the people He loves.I am a Christian who has lived with an ultra conservative sister, who didn't think I was a Christian because I liked rock music and read other versions of the Bible.I am and always have been a people lover because I feel that is the best way to help others and because that is the way I've been since I was little.How will people know God loves them if we don't show that love.So I am one of the most open minded,nonjudgemental people you will meet(hopefully).Now as to which cartoon character I am.I think TweetyPie,because I am mischievous,playful,friendly,somehow usually avoid getting into trouble and try to be nice to people to give them the benefit of the doubt like Tweety does Sylvester.

What will they think of next? I have never heard of that TV show but I rarely watch TV.

Have a great evening.

Hey Sandra-Squarepants. Give me a call today if you can and let me know about the 4th. My cell is 910-574-8791, I should be out and about most of today.

Sandra,

I've been away from my PC and never got the chance until now to express how nice it was to meet you and your children at the luncheon. It certainly was a treat for me to enjoy a meal with such nice folks as you and the others. I hope it won't be too long before we try this again.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend.

Steve

Sandra,did you see the pics of the Carrington-Smith totem pole? I love it.It captured a mom who loves her children but probably like all of us at some time or other feels overwhelmed but loved!Copy it or I'll send it to you if you like.I told you I would be TweetiePie because I thought you had posted that blog.Oh well,now you know who I really am!!!LOL

u all dat and a bag o' chips!!

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5492082/?golo_action=cbp

LOL!Sandra,I am talking about the picture I used on the posting after our lunch,Tuesday.It is also in my gallery of picsfrom the lunch on my profile.If you can't copy it off the posting I'll email it to you if you give me your address.You are so funny.I thought you knew what I was talking about!Sorry.

You always have to be the most popular don't you?

Have a safe and happy Independence Day weekend!

Good morning Sandra. That was an important blog about trust. Unfortunately, the comment conversation was pretty sour and of course dominated by one person. I choose not to comment rather than be insulted by being called scum or vile or whatever by him...not my idea of how to start the day. I wonder how many others backed off from the negativity.

umm i'm sorry i have to do this to you... but i'm stealing sponge bob! lol

San, you are making excuses for Steve. The tone of his comments was ugly, WAY before G made an appearance. You can't blame the earlier blog either. Steve is not a civil person...not last year, not yesterday, not today, and not tomorrow. He has to dominate, and he will take whatever positive message you share and turn the tone negative. Frankly, he was allowed to ruin YOUR morning blog, which is one of the last bastions of pleasantry we can usually trust on here.

Thanks for your comment (on my comments) - I love seeing your blogs!!! :)

Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Sandra...there was no "exchange" the first 50+ comments on YOUR blog, but the arrogance and demeaning comments were already there by Steve. He took your message and manipulated it to insult others in general and a few by innuendo. If you provide him the podium, that will happen every time, REGARDLESS of any history. And the peanut gallery will rah rah. You do not need to respond to this message, time will prove me correct if he is allowed to continue unchecked. Good luck, and I hope your family has a great and safe holiday weekend.

Nothing like a good morning ride to get the blood pumping. I didn't get runover but I take the credit for that.

While on my ride I was thinking would I trust a hot 27-year-old blonde, with great hair, fresh breath, wealthy parents and nice personality that wanted to have wild sex with me. My conclusion was yes if the wild sex was going to happen right then, but if she said let's walk back to your high-end Mercedes and do it instead of the sidewalk, I'd probably say no.

Sandra try taking off your Angela colored Stevie can do no wrong glasses and check your blog from this morning and you will see that jackazz was the one who started in on me, with several comments before I was even on there this morning.

It was WONDERFUL meeting you today!!! You have some really cool kids!! Happy 4th!!!

sorry sandra he has attempted to beat so many people on here and not behind the surface ... he is an egotistical self glorfied slimy slug ... he is the comsomate pretty wrapped xmas present that when you open it up is just a pile of smelly dogstit

Has Steve seen that spoon???? LOL!!!

love the Spoon!

Have a delightful and festive holiday weekend...:) Enjoy bright fireworks and happy smiles....:)

Good Morning, Sandra! I am just stopping by to wish you and yours a wonderful Independence Day. I see that you have taken to the wooden spoon again. Have I been a bad girl or are you plnning to bake me a cake? :)

Good morning and Happy 4th. Yesterday was awesome and I so enjoyed it. Love, love, love the new profile pic!!! Be safe!

Good morning, Sandra...Hope you and your beautiful family have a wonderful holiday weekend!!!...(((Sandra)))

Hi Sandra! Just popping by to say hi and I hope you and your family have a great, relaxing, Independence Day. {{{{hugs}}}}

Beth

A devil with a spoon????

Welll...it's cute if nothing else. Just an adorable little guy.

"Happy 4th!!! Have a safe and happy holiday weekend." :)

You too. Pom and I are at the pool. You will have to come join us some day. Your welcome to come any time.

Hope you all have a 'devil' of a great holiday weekend! Be safe!
