Subject: Okey, dokey, dear ones. I'm back for as long as the Good

Health Fairy allows. We have had the green death and related illnesses inflicted upon the two of us, but both of us decided that today we feel grand! Our oldest granddaughter spent Saturday, Sunday and Monday (she has no classes on Monday) with us and it was delightful.

Our middle granddaughter was supposed to fly in Sunday afternoon from Colorado, but missed her plane and couldn't get another flight. We were very saddened by this ooops!, but will look forward to seeing her this summer.

Perhaps, just perhaps, life will assume a more linear posture and me and my roomy will live a more normal existence. But, most important, I'll be on this board every day no matter what!

Our kittens are absolutely marvelous and have personalities that charm the heart. Bella continues to be somewhat aloof, but absolutely gorgeous and Beau-James is so precious even the younger grandchildren adore him! There will be more tales of cuteness, I promise.

My goodness but its good to be back! Hugs to one and all. Fire up your 'puters and limber up your fingers. Gachner! Where are you?

The only thing I don't like about spring is the Yankee flu that comes in with the spring breakers and other tourists.
Oh well.

Hey. the school library just got guest wifi this very day! Until they figure out that the usual blocking is not working, I can check in on my breaks.

Bella and Beau-James sound adorable.

Nick and Nora are still.as.cute as can be. He is about three times her size, but guess who is still boss?

Good to have you back,and good to be back, for as long as it lasts. Then it will be back to weekends.

Damn! Reminds me of old times and, Kiddo, I luuuuuuve old times. I'm so looking forward to reading the posts for as long as the gods of posting allow! Hugs, Peeps, and fire up the keyboards.

WHEEE and BOOOOO cuz schizophrenic is how we roll. Sometimes it's Angelus, just moving through the world, having a good ole time and sometimes it's Angel, who can't think up enough terrible things to happen to him, so he goes looking.

I hope that you can reclaim some of the things that made you happy, Salty; the gift is that you even remember what those things are! So good yu are back.

I admit I dread flying anymore; so sorry your grand children go through this, just to see you more frequently. Since when did "innocent til proven guilty"--not prove you are innocent to just "ask," or even "probable cause" disappear? Besides, the passengers seem to be more trustworthy in dealing than all the billions we spent to put us all in an open air "gulag." I am just glad you got good people around you. I hope the spring and a bit of rain offer you a breath of relief, too.

I think that southern soothing of yours, for Lewis, Salty, will fluff the spirit and soothe away the aches!

And, you, Lewis...what are you doing consorting with yankees? So not a cyber virus or even all the allergies that eventually allow infection? Real flu? HORRIBLE. THIS is not how to do spring; this is whimper and woe. Kinda making you dread mortality? Well, you are going to live forever, anyway from us through the years in space to infect those traqnsmissions with cute anatoles and funny stuffed Cthulu!

The chicken soup I use came from an Auschwitz survivor. Those I give it to swear it helps.

a whole chicken, into parts is parts. Parsnip, bunch of parsley, a bit of carrot,like 2, a bouillion cube or two (for salt)a couple of quarts of water, couple cloves of garlic and a small onion, and cook until the meat is falling off the bones. (It's the minerals in marrow plus the other stuff is helpful to the liver). Yes, it freezes and is not meant to be more than the lightest food, yet have some good somethings, including the steam. ha! I add potatoes or rice for the left overs, which there will be, mostly because I don't ever eat this: vegetarian. ha!

So PASSOVER already, you dastardly yankee flu!
Be well

GACHNAR! I am surprised you have survived Nick and Nora. These cats are so utterly playful and curious. Good for you. They are looking here in NE to make Father Flannigan of Boys Town a saint, so I will pass your name along...heh.

I know you won't believe this, but it goes to show real life is funier than anything written. My dear ledy, now near Phoenix, (hoo boy...), who shared the chicken soup, was born in TRANSYLVANIA!
BE WELL!

We've been sick, too. Glad to see you in a good mood.

Crazy times that i won't go into but so glad that everyone is well and that all of our kitties are as fun as always. My little Sookie (not snooky) is happy as well, until she hears the racoons fighting outside then goes into PTSD. Otherwise, miss you all! *hugs*

Yup, me back too. After two more terms of teaching at High School level, I am doubting the wisdom. Not sure that I can hack this and might be looking for an administrative job where I can go home at night and not feel guilty about taking time out to prune my roses. I'm also rather tired of people being rude to me.

After our daughter did her practice teaching with a group of students taller than her with toilet tongues and little or no respect for learning, she gently declined to teach in the school room unless the students were adults. It was heartbreaking to me because she is a talented teacher and never wanted to do anything else but teach teenagers. Until, of course, she was exposed to the little cretins. I'm sorry kiddo. Hugs

Sorry to hear that about your daughter - although I can quite appreciate it. No matter how resilient you think you are, the reality of facing six classes of 30 teenagers per day, many of whom simply don't want to be in school and who are quite happy to 'express themselves' on that subject, really takes its toll.
