Mushrooms

While walking around the yard up north I came across some rather strange looking mushrooms. Can anyone tell me if these are dangerous??

Fall is Finally in the Air

It feels like fall this morning and that is a good thing.

Critter Time

Here is a picture I took of my next door neighbor's critter hole. Mice have eaten away at her duct tape which she used to cover the hole for her hose for the air conditioner and are within the walls now. She is no longer living there because of foreclosure so guess who gets to pay for the exterminator???

Happy Birthday Grandkids

Just got home from have a lovely birthday brunch at Biaggi's. Had the butternut squash-filled ravioli...it was delicious. The kids were looking great. I'll post a picture of the family. Went over to Trader Joe's afterward and browsed the aisles. It is always busy in there. Then, drove over to see Prissy's newly painted bedroom. Very pretty ash lilac color. I need to get some color in my rooms. We painted the kitchen a pretty shade of yellow awhile back but I can't tackle these high walls myself...may just have to hire Prissy's painter.

Mary Tyler Moore Show

Who can turn the world on with her smile? Yes, Mary can. Here is the cast of the Mary Tyler Moore show. They were excellent. I particularly liked Ted and Sue Ellen but Rhoda (who also played Georgette) and Mary were very good also. Just a fun night. They did the Chuckles the Clown show which had me laughing out loud. I think they are sold out though for the rest of the run. www.torchtheater.com

Pictures on Island Lake

Oh, Fer Cute!!

I thought this card was so cute that Pissy sent to me. This is "The Girl" we were talking about over the weekend. Oh, Fer Cute!!

Would have liked to have "The Girl" here today to help hold the flashlight while Bill installed the ceiling fan/light in the downstairs bedroom. I'm suffering from "crickitis" from looking up at the ceiling while holding the flashlight. I guess it is worth it though having a new fan/light down there.

Hi Kids! A Retrospective of Twin Cities Children's TV Shows

Dead fly

Anne, JB & Diane

Bud Kroehling

Nurse Carmen

Well, this was a very fun show to see and it was sold out. They are going to do another one in April because of the high demand to see it. It brought back some good memories of days gone by and being a carefree child (back when you could only watch a couple different TV stations). They showed a bunch of different toy commercials beforehand and how well I remember my Chatty Cathy doll. Thanks Gerri and Marcie for the tickets. Loved it! http://www.pavekmuseum.org/hikids1.html

Here are a couple of pictures of Axel's sidekick, Carmen and Nurse and the weatherman, Bud Kroehling who did some of the announcing on the TV shows.

The only thing that I didn't like about the evening was finding a fly in my wine! We went out for dinner first and it was a waste of some good wine. Luckily, I saw it before drinking it.

The Issy Has Landed

Hissy landing on the runway. Is it a bird.....is it a plane....It's Hissy!!

Bumper Boat War Between JB & Diane

Here we have a little clip of JB & Diane at Bumper Boat Wars which is at the World of Christmas, AKA Christmas World. As you can see, it was pretty mild. Lots of spinning and trying to figure out how to work the boats. Fun to watch them though. Sorry for the poor resolution.

Issies Do The North Country

My Laptop Computer is Ready to Take Off

Well, after coming all the way up here to use my trusty HP Laptop because my Dell desktop went kaput, this one sounds likes it's revving it's engines and ready for departure. Man, what is going on with my computers?? It still works but is very annoying and I'm afraid the thing is gonna blow up on me. It kind of sounds like the fan on this one too. Woe is me. So, if I'm not answering you on emails like I normally do, it's because my laptop is shut down.

Looking forward to the Issies coming up here tomorrow for the weekend. We will have a fun time!!
