How are you today?

I worked again last night. I was home at 11pm. Turned on the TV and watched a bit of the game Federer vs. Del Potro. Guess Federer wasn't at his best. Congrats to Del Potro.

And then I heard this morning that Patrick Swayze died. May he rest in peace. In his memory here the song he sang in "Dirty Dancing" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfg97-5uhFQ (She's like the wind). I love this song.

1. Good morning!

I hope you're doing well today. :hug: :loveya:
It's sad about Patric Swayze he's been sick for a while. He has family here in Houston. I used to work with his uncle. If I remember correctly he called him "Buddy".

That is a beautiful sculpture! Thank you for sharing that! :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Good morning Allen

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I am doing fine. I am not even tired at the moment ... go figure.

Yes, it was to be expected, still it is sad. His movies were part of me growing up (Dirty Dancing, North and South, To Wong Foo). And he was way too young to die.

I love old cemeteries. The sculptures there are interesting and beautiful.

3. Good morning Miss Honeychurch.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I am not really awake yet, but my sleep was disturbed by a small furry somebody who is now trying to get on the laptop...

I watched the Federer match too and thought Del Potro played wonderfully, though it seemed as though they rushed him off the court rather abruptly at the end. Altogether, that was one of the weirdest Opens I have ever seen.

Very sad about Patrick Swayze; he was only 57. I lost a good friend to that disease just under two years ago.

Thanks for the song. I love that song too.

Now there are two furries in here, but I am going to try to get another hour or so of sleep.

7. Good morning cwydro

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Are you awake now? Or still sleeping with furries?

I felt that Del Potro was very liked by the visitors yesterday.

19. Slept a little longer with my furbaby

curled up beside me.

Late start now and enjoying a cup of French Roast.

4. Good Morning Miss Honeychurch!

:hi: :hug: :loveya: :pals:

Sad about Patrick Swayze. :(

Slept later than I normally do, yesterday was a busy one. Today should be more of the same.

Busy means I get out more. I like busy. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Good morning SCE

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

It is a busy day here. First time now that I can take a breath and decide what to do next. Any ideas? Beside going home that is :)

[SalmonChantedEvening]

26. Nothing else came to mind. ;)

Just in from work, practice and a session outside clowning with the nephews.


*thud* :rofl:

See you in the morning. :hug:

[Callalily]

5. Good morning MissH!

Yes, it's sad about Patrick Swayze. He was so gracious.

I got up a little earlier than usual to make some cold cucumber soup for my book club this evening. It really smells good and I want to eat it now. :rofl:

You're not tired and you worked until 11:00 p.m. last night? Hmmmmm . . . I suspect that you'll be laying you head on your desk about mid-afternoon for a quick snooze. ;)

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

10. Good morning Callalily

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I know what you mean with eating it right away. But I hope you saved some for tonight :rofl:

I am a bit tired now, but I hope that will pass. Depends on what I find to do this afternoon till I have to leave.

6. Good Afternoon, MissH!

I just heard about Patrick Swayze. I was really hoping he'd beat the cancer. :cry:



:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

11. Good morning blueraven

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I think you weren't the only one who hoped. :hug:

[blueraven95]

20. It's always sad

but particularly so when cancer takes someone so young.

12. Good morning Blue_Tires

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

You sure find interesting words :D That is what I love about the German language - that you can connect words and create a new one :D

die Lastkraftwagenanhängerkupplung :)

[Blue_Tires]

15. i've always wondered how German speakers get out the REALLY long words...

you all got to start working in some slang or a contraction or an acronym or two...

[MissHoneychurch]

18. We just say them

:)

I admit though that we say LKW instead of Lastkraftwagen we say LKW

[NJmaverick]

13. Good morning MHC! Very busy this morning

That is quite the compelling momument. How old is that cemetary?

[MissHoneychurch]

14. Good morning NJmaverick

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Here is the Wiki article about the cemetary http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A8re_Lachaise_Cemetery They are saying it is over 200 years old.

How are you doing today?

[Brewman_Jax]

16. G'day, MissH!

:hi: :hug:

Took the day off and ran 5 miles (8km for you metric types) and I need to do that more often. I was tired for hours after that.

How was the family visit?

[MissHoneychurch]

17. Good morning Brewman

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

:wow: that is quite an accomplishment, esp. for me who I am a lazy bum. But I started to lose weight nevertheless. I eat less and more healthy.

My family is coming Thursday. Ask me again next week :)

[Brewman_Jax]

21. This weekend

is the big wisit. I know you'll have much fun seeing them.

You don't have to run far, walking for 30-45mins is good, 60mins is better. Glad you're feeling better.

I sprouted the grain for another mini-batch of amaranth beer. I won't split it like last time, and it should work better. Prep time should be less than 3 hours, since I've done it before.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

22. Hello MissHc
