Furthermore, stop being so darned perfect (being a former Coast Guardsman and all!). I'm sure your wife wouldn't like me having an even bigger crush on you!Sashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05231958721986979723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-77729807469684482702008-08-25T23:39:00.000+02:002008-08-25T23:39:00.000+02:00Carrie...LOL!

You are too clever! I believe I hear Groucho,Chico,Harpo, and Zeppo laughing. <BR/><BR/>Lois...your description of Aunt Millie suggests she had a major impact on your life. Maybe that is why you live so joyfully! :-) I love the Aunt Millie's of the world. <BR/><BR/>Soosha...as a former Coastie, I salute your gramps! I was stationed in Mobile, AL and then New Orleans in the 80s. It was a short stint since our ship (USCG Westwind/an icebreaker) was decommisioned prior to our heading to the South Pole.

I never change mine because I never let anyone take a picture of me—am becoming sadly un-photogenic as I approach my dotage.<BR/>Michael & Coltrane -- In France, I guess your con-tractor would be a jerk with farm equipment.<BR/>Lois -- me too, I can't get to Petrea. Tried to do what Guille suggested, but it just buffers for a loooong time & goes back to the "dates." Did get audio for a bit, but no picture. Oh well.<BR/>Carrie -- you get the prize for sheer wit today!Alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620873522996260383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-42971881330959436902008-08-25T23:20:00.000+02:002008-08-25T23:20:00.000+02:00Petrea, When you come to San Francisco, you can sh...Petrea, When you come to San Francisco, you can show me how to view your clip -- I too keep getting an adult dating site. Clicked on every available arrow -- nada!<BR/><BR/>Michael, My Grand-Aunt, Millie, use to play banjo. I did a painting of her in her banjo band. When she died, she wanted to be buried in her banjo costume that she wore on stage. My mom didn't do it though. My mom had her dressed in an evening gown with a photo of her on top of the coffin in her banjo costume. Millie was really a fun lady. As you probably can tell, my mother is very serious. I have a lot of stories about Auntie Millie.<BR/><BR/>Carrie, "The party's over, but<BR/>It's time to call it ete..." Every time I think of it, I smile.<BR/><BR/>Soosha, I loved your article on Terra.

We were a resounding chorus with that question :-)<BR/><BR/>I was awake Petrea, I was cooking.<BR/><BR/>I'm not going to change my photo until next week. Cali aka Rose, is coming to San Francisco (for the 1st time). I'll pose for her and then post the photo she takes of me. See, she thinks she's coming to visit me; and, I have already put her to work. Let's see, we should also review my Paris photos -- in determining my next painting. Yep, that'll keep her busy. ;-)Lois Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147226104566786852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-78296311794591673232008-08-25T19:20:00.000+02:002008-08-25T19:20:00.000+02:00Wooo whoooo!
