Same to you! I hope you're enjoying a wonderful holiday with friends and family. {{{HUGS}}}

Thanks Sandra & right back atcha!! :)

I'm keeping a low profile @ home this weekend. It helps to keep me out of trouble!! ;)

Thank you.Happy 4th right back to you and have a safe one.

Morning Ms. Sandra, I messed up somehow and had to create a new profile. (Now I'm blondi again)Maybe you could help me figure out what I did wrong? All I did was change my e-mail address. ???

Good morning, Sandra, hope you and your family had a wonderful 4th! What's up with cute devil--the last thing I thought I'd see on your profile. ;-)

Thanks, Sandra, it was safe and happy both. Hope yours was too.

You're no psycho, Beth, but a very sweet lady. :-)

{{{{{{{Sandra}}})) Thank you! Hope you have a great week.

Beth

I hope you had a safe and happy 4th of july weekend.

Thanks for the greeting... I read the blog about your visit to Gingerleigh's. Sounds like y'all had a good weekend as well!

Hi Sandra, I hope you had a nice holiday too!

bob

"Good morning Timbo. I hope you had a nice holiday weekend:)"

Thank you, I did and hope you did. Cheers.

thanks Sandra, for your well wishes. I had a good weekend and I hope you did too.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

Sandra - I think your avatar is cute. Are you feeling a little mischievous today?

Glad you got to enjoy the fireworks too! I sat with some bikers that I rode up and intoduced myself to. There was a comedian in their number that kept me laughing the whole time. And then when the fireworks actually started he started an alternating chorus of "Ohh's and Ahh's" that was hilarious. They were very loud "Ohh's and Ahh's" so everyone around us was in on the act ! LOL Had a great time.

thanks ! hope you had a good one too

I am not knocking Him at all - in fact, I totally admire everything He stood for. :) Sandra Carrington-Smith

Sandra think you meant to post that to someone elses profile

Hmmm...no, I was on the right profile. This is the comment you left on my blog: "how can you knock a guy who changed water into wine and bbqed fish???"

What I posted on your profile was my reply to your comment. :)

ok ... should have wrote - not like a guy; instead of knock; did not mean to imply you were busting on him;

Whaddup SC-S? I was in the ultimate 'Redneck 4th' You just had to be there. The city has a carnival every year for the Volunteer Fire Dept, big fund raiser. Carny did not show up. Have you ever seen the movie Frankenstein when the city people gathered and had torches and pitch forks? That was the seen. After the Lawn Mower Races started the crowd was pleased. Then the Demolition Derby. I was trying to explain this to friends in Scotland and Ireland, was very hard.

I did get some overalls to blend in, didn't work.

Hope your 4th was a blast.

Hi, Sandra, you 'evil'--NEVER. Wishing you a wonderful Monday!!

Sandra, the sun shines on you even on a cloudy day!!! Thank you for always brightening up my day!!!!

{{{HUGS}}}

Hi Sandra! Sorry I missed seeing you guys on the 4th. I had to work that day. I was off by 5pm and would have come but I had a recent eye injury and was kind of skeered to drive that far. I'm doing fine now, though. I hope I get to see you next time!

(((((((((((aunty Sandra))))))))))))))

I live in Knightdale. It would be great to go to lunch together sometime. It made me smile when you said the music was good. When I moved, I donated my old stereo to the Barn of Doom. 110 watts, with all that peace and quiet out there, I'll bet it was rockin. LOL You have a good evening too!

Sandra -- awesome ! what day is Sept is your birthday? my 2nd child will be 40 on the 15th !! cool!

that is too cool !! You truly look very young , too. fyi -- my first will be 43 in Oct & my 'baby' will be 38 next month. Times truly flies by too quickly. But , even working a 40hr wk , I would do all I could to be involved with my kids and their interests. My daughter took ballet/jazz together when she got up to the teen-college class. That was fun !!!

whoops-- sh be : my daughter and I --

You'll always have those wonderful memories of watching them grow and come into their own person. I'm thankful I had the energy to keep up with them going in their different directions. Whew !! But , I know its what , also , kept me young.

Good morning! Hope you have a great day!

Good morning Sandra =)

Thank you, I know I'm a bit late responding =)

I hope you had a wonderful 4th!

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

Hey Sandra! Thanks and I hope you and yours had a wonderful July 4th weekend :)

Love that lil devil (your avatar)

too cute :)

Have a GREAT day !

"Tom - I apologize...I must have conveyed the wrong message. What I was hoping to explain is that I have been called a leftist for following Jesus' teachings." :)

You don't need to apologize. I know what you meant. {{{{{hugs}}}}} I was just taken aback that you would let the lady's silly critiscisms affect you to the point where you wanted to blog about it. My apologies for being so forward with my own comments. *wink*

Happy Humperz Day! Hope you are having an awesome week.

Hiya! Hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July weekend... including lots fun and relaxation!!!

Hi there, I hope you are having a great day. I love your blogs, they are very insightful and extremely interesting.

Good Morning Sandra ~ Have you ever accepted a favorite quotation from a GoLo member as your blog topic? I thought that it might be interesting on occasion, if we submit and you write... :)

Good morning Mrs. Sandra Smith! Beautiful pic! Enjoy your day..8-)

I seriously doubt that. Nothing more beautiful than a natural woman.

You have a good day woman!

" I'm the evil Italian woman with a wooden spoon. LOL "

LOL I JUST dont see it !!!!!!!! :)

Hope ya have a great day !!

Funny - your post this morning hit home. this week I did a blog about not sleeping and I am now on my 4th night and it has taken a toll...

" Italian women are a subtle force, they come through nice but will beat the hell of the opponent if the situation warrants action. It's in the blood. "

OMG you hit the nail on the head with that one! LOL

Hey! What week?

Sandra,I totally enjoyed your post about the human body.My friends at work totally enjoyed it,(Or maybe it was really the comments!LOL! Sorry I haven't been posting much.It has just been a busy week.Have a great weekend and be careful,there are crazy people(including myself) outhere!LOL.Got to go to sleep.Hope you have a great day.Thanks for your "Daily Loaves" , a take off on "Daily Bread"HeeeHeee.

TGIF! Hope you enjoy the weekend! :)

Hope your 4th was good - I'll be around more in a few days.

My life has been living me lately.

Have a good weekend Sport. Every thin woman has their favorite little black dress. How do you stay thin? I exercise every day but you don't look like the exercising type.

my middle child , that's your age , has been going thru some medical situations -- which has put an emotional strain on his family. Since school's out , I asked the girls to come and spend the week with me to just be "kids" and enjoy the summer break from school. They are 15 & 13 and I'll pick them up this Sunday to have some valuable 'grandma' time with them. I always remember the wonderful times I had visiting w/ my grandparents. Hope you're having a wonderful weekend -- :>

Thanks Sandra, and you have an awesome day as well!

{{{{Sandra}}}}....I've been a few days off my computer....I hope you had a great weekend.....and as always....>>> :-)

if I don't post tomorrow morning it is either because they murdered me or I hung myself in the closet. LOL Sandra Carrington-Smith"""

I was off for the weekend, hoping you posted? LOL

How did the birthday party go and more importantly how did you survive the sleepover? Can't wait for those days! Shorty has a few new friends here and we're already starting with the play dates and pool dates. :)

Hope you enjoyed the weekend! :)
