I don't actually own a functional video camera right now - I would love to have one by the time my son graduates, though - on the other hand, someone will post parts of the graduation on YouTube, for sure. I still watch my daughter's class (2010) on occasion. We haven't been having spring-like weather - just buckets of rain and cooler temperatures.NancyDehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09565369052850975336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279838830512754397.post-39631060158102606552012-03-22T18:44:29.564-10:002012-03-22T18:44:29.564-10:00Welcome back home, and congratulations on your ove...Welcome back home, and congratulations on your overcoming the fear of needles. I'm just hoping that you asked the KP folks if they ever heard of "No More Sleepless Nights" - but now the next step is done. Your hubby learned well - Lappert's = Love.<br />[just a hunch]<br />You could catch your frolicking flock on a you-tube video! I think the animals do dance for joy at springtime. I know I do! I grew up just 12 degrees north of the equator, but spring was definitely there, if one was observant. It's really clear to me here on Maui, too. <br />Keep your head high, set that compass on true North, and sail on.<br />If prayers were wind, your sails are full!Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15483102573957001593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279838830512754397.post-69670068937666445452012-03-22T08:01:31.468-10:002012-03-22T08:01:31.468-10:00CT: We're having a really wet year; I absolute...CT: We're having a really wet year; I absolutely missed the opportunity for broccoli because what feels like almost continuous rain since October. I was wondering about peanuts, too. I would like to try them! Kale does well - all the brassicas do well where I am. It turns out that sheep LOVE kale - it was the first thing the buggers ate when they got through the fence. We put up hog wire, though, instead of just electric fence, and they can't get through anymore.NancyDehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09565369052850975336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279838830512754397.post-60598543325623458722012-03-22T07:48:21.559-10:002012-03-22T07:48:21.559-10:00Hi NancyDe,

I got to reconnect with some friends from high school at a baby shower.<br /><br />I didn't get as much gardening done as I would have liked to because I was spending so much time at the family business doing inventory. We sell and repair small-engine equipment. There were tens of thousands of little, individual parts to be counted, but everybody pulled together, spent a lot of late days,and got it done. It was good to be able to spend time with my brother and sister on a project like that.<br /><br />I put some sweet peas, carrots, kale and peanuts in the ground. (I'm most curious about the peanuts!) My sister sends me pictures and the fig trees are really starting to take off. I'll need to prune back some of the unruly branches in the summer.<br /><br />It's always great to hear about your sheep! I hope the weather cooperates with your efforts at gardening.<br /><br />I'll continue to think good thoughts for you. You do the same too.<br /><br />Cheers!Chicago Transplanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11538051299703179329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279838830512754397.post-52966867458674088862012-03-22T00:47:19.610-10:002012-03-22T00:47:19.610-10:00Nobody is tired of you yet.

At some point or another we've either all "been there done that" or are learning from you what to expect when we go through any kind of a diagnosis experience. <br /><br />I think it's great that you're willing to share your thoughts and observations, your fears and hopes.Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06597093453934852571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279838830512754397.post-80580475002360085672012-03-21T19:25:33.715-10:002012-03-21T19:25:33.715-10:00Thanks, Chicago Transplant....I know it's thre...Thanks, Chicago Transplant....I know it's three months later, but how did your visit home go? <br /><br />Thanks, Deb - and I agree!NancyDehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09565369052850975336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279838830512754397.post-82535866004969241122012-03-21T19:16:57.453-10:002012-03-21T19:16:57.453-10:00Good job, Nanc !

He's lucky he didn't get a detention ;)<br /><br />Lamb races/olympics are one of the many highlights of sharing your life with sheep. It's especially entertaining when the mature sheep join in.<br /><br />I'll reply to your email tomorrow. <br />Take some time to rest up.<br /><br />DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03900262123409559177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279838830512754397.post-7199940908014171832012-03-21T16:52:00.261-10:002012-03-21T16:52:00.261-10:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Chicago Transplanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11538051299703179329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279838830512754397.post-32964088249041529742012-03-21T16:50:39.303-10:002012-03-21T16:50:39.303-10:00Hi NancyDe,

If nothing else, it gives me another opportunity to practice compassion. <br /><br />It strikes me that sometimes I'd rather be humane than human. It takes so little effort to be kind and even less effort to be civil.<br /><br />Don't give a second thought to setting down your feelings in your blog.<br /><br />All Best Wishes.Chicago Transplanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11538051299703179329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279838830512754397.post-29949630308277119332012-03-21T15:03:01.991-10:002012-03-21T15:03:01.991-10:00Chai Chai, it was even the good ice cream shop ice...Chai Chai, it was even the good ice cream shop ice cream and not the cheap stuff we buy in tubs - so even better ;).NancyDehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09565369052850975336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279838830512754397.post-2487433869069183172012-03-21T14:58:03.490-10:002012-03-21T14:58:03.490-10:00Sometimes husbands can be pretty cool, and ice cre...Sometimes husbands can be pretty cool, and ice cream is some darn good medicine.Chai Chaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845100961653150736noreply@blogger.com
