It MUST be a HOLIDAY?

Good Morning and Happy Saint Patricks day to EVERYONE...

I am almost compelled to write a closed blog this morning... and so,

This blog is for Casey ...

Move away from the wishing well... It's NOT working!!!!

"Listen to me, Little Girl..."

"AND LISTEN TO ME WELL..."

You will NOT, (repeat NOT), arrange another repeat of last years stellar performances! (Please remember that 2006 was the year that you independently screwed up each and every holiday for yourself by being in/at some god~forsaken hospital).

That said, I have taken it upon myself to contact each/every hospital, (within a 300 mile radius), to tell them they are NOT to admit you for any holiday, within any year, for any reason whatsoever.

You have been effectively banned from any/all hospitals... hehehe... (hope it helps)!

My apologies, Baby Girl, that I didn't think of doing this soon enough... (and you ended up there yesterday)...

They have their orders...

And YOU get well(er) soon! (Guess you have your orders too now)! hehehe

I love you Baby Girl...

I told her she should never climb trees in the winter without gloves!

(But really, that has nothing to do with the price of bananas in China)... hehehe

Derek brought KC to the hospital for what she had thought was more of her pancreatitis attacks... Her enzymes tests all came back "normal" though. They have given her IV antibiotics and pain meds, and sent her home.

She should be well(er) within a few days... please wish her well!

And do have a safe and Happy St Patricks Day!

XOXO
Anne

PS

For YEARS I have looked for a LIVE 4~Leaf Clover Plant... Can anyone tell me where I can get one?

Burma~Shave Road Signs!

I just HAVE to share this...

For those who never saw any of the BurmaShave signs, here is a quick lesson in our history of the 1930's and '40's. Before there were interstates, when everyone drove the old 2 lane roads, BurmaShave signs would be posted all over the countryside in farmers' fields.

They were small red signs with white letters. Five signs, about 100 feet apart, each containing 1 line of a 4 line couplet......and the obligatory 5th sign advertising BurmaShave, a popular shaving cream

Here are more of the actual signs:

Do these bring back any old memories?

Driving down the highways for our Sunday Afternoon outings... and seeing these signs from the open windows of the Old 4~door Ford Galaxy!
