Ewwww I like shopping! Thanks for the heads up on Google Play. I'm off to look at the bright shining appeal of Google Play now... Thanks :)K

Yes, sounds amazing. A great Christmas gift. Hmmm hope I can wait till then keeping the surprise under wraps. Hmmm an endoscope, do you have one of those on here...?

And most of my friends as well :) I gave a few of them this link

Well good to know I can do this. Thanks for all your amazing tutorials. I gain so much from your wealth of knowledge. :)K

I finally saw the movie just last night. Loved it, I recommend the hunger games movie as a must see, it's on pay per view now. :)K

I've been following your advice. The birds we feed love the dried bread, crackers and chips (corn chips) we feed them. You're so right you can save a lot of money. Plus, I feel really good about using the left over food we always have so much of instead of throwing it in the garbage. :)K

Fall is such a beautiful time of year. Here in Ohio we have beautiful color and variety in our fall foliage. You've become quite the photographer. :)K

lobobrandon, Glad to know your a pretty little liars fan too.

Digby - Spooky, aren't they? I'm not sure that it would have quite the same effect walking down the stairs in my late-20th century council house though. -.-

Dustytoes - Me too! I scared the life out of myself, zooming into it, in the early hours of this morning.

Oh how love the beach, walking along finding beautiful shells. The beach is one of my favorite places in the whole world. So thrilled we have so many amazing beaches to enjoy. ONE of my favorite places to go shelling is the outer banks of the Carolina's. I go to Atlantic Beach, take a charter boat out to a collection of small islands, one of which is shell island. It's a beach known for it amazing shells. Wild horses run the island, it is an amazing secret and a must do on anyone's bucket list. I also love, possible my most favorite of all, sand dollar island, it's this dun like of a small island far off shore that is surrounded with sand dollars. The water around the island is very shallow for a few hundred feet, you can wade out and actually see and feel live sand dollars. Removing live sand dollars is not allowed, but you can take the dead ones. The live ones are a sort of brown color, you can see the moving hair like fingers when you turn them upside down. Amazing. I bring shells back and add them to my landscape beds. Great article, thanks for bringing up fond memories. :)K

Thanks Sheri...that's great news! Our daughter, our estranged son's bio sister, was here with us this summer with her family for a month. (These are my husband's two bio children.) The son was in town for that time, too. She spent time with him and they had a 40th birthday party for him at his inlaws. Though the bio mother was invited, his father was not, yet his father is the one who raised him after his mother left. The bio mother also told our daughter during this visit that she wanted a mother/daughter relationship with her again. Our daughter told her it was too late for that at 37 years old but she would try to be her friend so they spent some time together. However, our daughter sat and talked it over with me first because she wanted to be sure that I knew how she felt. That is the difference between our son and his sister. He never talks and refuses to but she always talks out her feelings. I think this is probably why she has handled things so much better than her brother. It's a mess and I truly think their bio mother is at the bottom of the problems but we cannot dispute what she tells him and he has need of her acceptance psycologically...he must find this out for himself. I am glad that the couple found some closure...discussing your feelings openly and listening is always best. Hopefully, someday, our son will realize this, too.

@Ragtimelil, Maybe if you get back this way, we can meet! I hope it happens one day.

Yes, 40 years of it. One regret is that we could have met up. I lived north of you in Canaan. It's a bit of a drive now, from Texas. :))

Actually with the help of the apps you might find it easier to read books on a laptop! Try it out, it is free - what do you have to lose?

I was wondering about the free apps. Thanks for the info. I'm going to look into this altho I find it difficult to read on my laptop.
