5. The pics are on a two week delay.

Sorry but I'm downloading my pictures to a computer that can't connect to the web at the moment. You see ~ I'm on vacation and dial-up is too damn expensive from the hotel room.

20. She is plum tuckered out and snoozing peacefully.

With visions of hot bods dancing through her dreams.
no doubt because she's smilin' in her slumber

You'd be a winner.

58. Swee'pea!! :D
I missed you. I was away from my computer for like a month but I'm back, and Joanie was wrong about the dreaming of the hot bods. I was dreaming of a corned-beef sandwich on grilled rye, with sauerkraut, russian dressing, melted provolone and onions. A pickle. German potato salad. You know, the works. :9

Joanie holds up the strappy red thing yesterday at the boutique, and I'm all like, "Hoochie Mama!"

"You know," I said, "Tarty."
"But good", I added, because we all need to let go and live it up sometimes. The dress is lovely.

:D :toast: :loveya: :pals:

61. Hey yo sweetiecakes!



I've missed you too! I've missed you witty repartee and having a Lounge sister at my side and, well, just everybody has missed your pretty face on the picture threads especially. But I'm glad to hear that you and Joanie are having fun and staying out of trouble/not getting caught.

I hope you guys are taking plenty of pictures to share! 'Cuz I wanna see 'em all!

Lounge sister, you made me feel great. I'm at your side and I'm truly happy to be posting again. I tell you the Keys are TONIC!! Geeze, you should be here WITH us! And not only that, it's like I'm putting myself thru BOOT CAMP with this exercise regimen. If I don't do what I say when I say it, I give myself a thrashing and send myself into isolation for 15 minutes. But this is the most fun I've had in months and months.

24. Darn!

I so sorry, dicksteele. Will you please forgive me for posting a thread without pictures of my new red spaghetti-strap sundress (with matching red shoes and bag). The dress fits nicely into the Palm of my hand when it's folded, just a little bit of batik rayon.

22. I may not be on vacation in a few years.

There are so many jobs down here that I can do.
My biggest problem is the cold in New York. :cry: Everything hurts when I'm cold so the obvious solution to my physical problems is to move down here.

I'll be here (I hope! I hope! I hope!) so come on down. If this works out I'll be driving back with my parrot and all of my Hoochie Mama clothes on the 1st of December. BTW These threads will turn heads in Woodstock for sure.

67. you can't leave upstate before we get together at least once!
my hubby's dr. told him to consider moving somewhere warm and sunny- he has SAD. But I wilt in the heat. So he's getting a light box and we'll hope for the best. Warm is kinder to sore joints, no doubt about it.

29. There's no such thing as too much fun.

The 4th of July Fireworks Display over the ocean at Holiday Ilse was magnificent! The restaurants love treating tourist well. Somehow the drinks taste better when served overlooking the clear blue water.

I'm going to ship my trike down for the winter.

35. I love to celebrate the full moon.

It wakes me from a sound sleep when I'm home and I've gone outside on many a warm night to bask in it's splendor.
But there is nothing that compairs to moonlight on the water. I'll never grow tired of this place.

65. I'll take your very good advice, LaraMN.

It's a lot of fun which fits right in here however I might wind up with more attention than I've bargained for if I dress in Hoochie Mama Style at home sooooo I'll leave the hippie look up there when I fly or drive down as I plan to do regularly for the next few years since I already have a good friend to pick me up at the airport. :)
