Coming to a store near you by summer!

\

Wait a minute!! Girl Scout cookies are pricey (but we all buy them for a good cause). So, does this mean that now we have to bake our own??!! That would destroy the fun of opening up a delicious, box of thin mint cookies and devouring them.

Thanks!
Actually, the artwork is pictures of works of art...projects we've designed over the years...!

That doesn't surprise me. I figured that was a display of the masterpieces from your company. Awesome.

 

[MinnieM123]

OK, the only ones I can find from my phone are of the artist and the construction we participated in. I can't find the other ones right now, but, I'll try tomorrow...

Wow. Even just those two picks of the preliminary work--amazing. As a kid, I wasn't thrilled about going to school, and I think maybe part of that had to do with the institutional (prison) look of the place. I can't even imagine now, walking into a school that had bright, cheerful design elements. A welcoming environment like that, promotes a subliminal, positive effect upon your attitude.

I can't say a church picinic has ever been a favorite event of mine. Dread going, finding a way to depart.

I've never been to a church picnic. My church doesn't have picnics.

What they do have once a year is the blessing of the animals. People bring their pets to the parking lot and the priest offers a general blessing. A few years ago, I brought Jack, because he's such a big sinner. Anyway, he was very disrespectful and barked at the priest during the blessing; and then he pulled out a bag of donuts (that were in an open, tote bag on the ground) from the woman standing next to us!!!

I'm telling you, never again. There is no salvation for Jack!

@seahawk7 Did you see the refurbishment of PoC has been delayed? Won't start now until June 8th. Good news even in its current condition as it is a great people eater.

...provided it doesn't break down.

I was happy in college to finally leave the category of teenager.

Yesterday, I was talking to some classmates, and they brought up the whole Kylie Jenner lip thing and how stupid teens are for doing it.

Okay, we've clearly left the teen catagory when we wonder why teens do certain things.

Thank you. I figured I'd use different Disney moms until Mother's Day. The Incredibles is my favorite Pixar movie.

 

[seahawk7]

Good luck!

Thank you.

Guess who doesn't have to get up at 4:45 tomorrow.
Have to get one kid up at 6:00. The other at 6:10. The third at 7:40.

And then I am back to bed.
Gonna sleep 'til noon if I want!

Hubby is leaving early; going to work for a couple of hours, and then off to way-out-of-town OBA's - the final tournament of an extraordinarily long season. (Someone give me an amen!)

I'm bach'ing it until Sunday.

Amen!

I'll bet you lost some weight. By the way, do you not have a scale at home? I have one--it has dust on it, but I have one!!

I do and according to it, I lost 20 pounds but I have to see what the doctors scale shows.

Yes I'm happy because I love PoC. Last year we got stuck on it for about 20 minutes but I don't mind getting out of the hot sun and being stuck on an enclosed ride. Now if it was an outdoor ride that would be different.

I'll bet they're delicious, too! I had the most delectable sammie there last year. Can't remember the name, but it was basically Italian with maybe some sort of flavored olive oil drizzled on it. On man, that was tasty!!!!

We often go out to DTD just to go to EoS.

I skip any of the church "events" imho.
They have changed from fun for everyone with good food... to literal brainwashing, baiting and pull the classic "people are dying in X place.. donate now", and have the booth full of pictures of sad kids...
at least the food is still decent.

(ps, I have not experienced the "American" or "Canadian" version of church picnics.)

I disagree. bad news because its really awful inside.
id say 70% of the effects are failing and the logs gets more water than Capt. Sparrow's little pirate boat( from the first movie)
