Good morning everyone.  Tuesday is here and it looks like another nice day in Iowa.  I had a change of schedule from my normal Tuesday morning volunteering at school and will be going tomorrow instead.  I had problems with my fibro yesterday and hope today is better.

What are your plans for the day?  Come on in and sit a spell and chat over your morning coffee.

Welcome everyone. I will have virtual coffee and breakast treats.
Hi, Mom, just running to keep the kid going for morning chores and out the door for his bus. How are you feeling today?
Cindi P. Sep 18, 2007, 9:17am EDT
Good Morning Audrey!
I was just heading off to accomplish Something! LOL
My baby went off to school this morning! : (

First time i have been home alone on a school day in 6 years and 8 months to the day!!! LOL

How have you been!???
lynn a. Sep 18, 2007, 9:18am EDT
Good morning, Audrey. Oh, it is going to be 90 degrees here today. Air condition on for sure. But it is beautiful outside already. The birds haven't come for their seed yet. So are you feeling better today?
... all that while watching Tai Shan on the Panda Cam at the Washington Nat'l Zoo
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:19am EDT
Hi Gg and Cindi. Both seeing the kids off to school, one big and one little. Cindi was he excited?
lynn a. Sep 18, 2007, 9:19am EDT
The Panda Cam. Is that something we can access on our computers? I've seen them in New Orleans.
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:20am EDT
Thanks for stopping in Michelle and Lynn.

Good morning
Here is the site for the Panda Cam. There are 2 cams, if one doesn't work for you try the other. I've watched this little fellow grow up, he's still adorable even tho he's not really big!

Fruit is great. Activia has a can of sliced grapefruit, both kinds. I had some yesterday and it was good. I keep canned fruit on hand for when we don't have any fresh. Nectarines were good this year. One store sold them regularly for 49 cents a pound and they really were delicious and large.
Oops, I meant, NOW really big.
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:22am EDT
Coffee and cinnamon rolls too.

Thanks, Gabby. This is great.
Cindi P. Sep 18, 2007, 9:23am EDT
Audrey he was VERY excited! Yesterday was his forst official day, but i drove him in to make sure he found his classroom etc.
And, on Sunday he was wrestling with his brother and they broke a coffee cup so Randy ended up in the Er for 20+ stitches in the back of his hand, and i wanted to make sure the teacher knew if he needed me I would be there to get him, but of course THAT was just silly of me to think i was NEEDED! : (
Lynn, yvw.
lynn a. Sep 18, 2007, 9:23am EDT
Always ready for a cinnamon roll. Weren't you going to dig out a recipe for them, Audrey?
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:23am EDT
Help yourselves everyone.

Hi Tim. How are you this morning? I seem to remember you also have 5 kids. So do I.
Cindi P. Sep 18, 2007, 9:24am EDT
Uh oh! Tim just busted me jumpin ship! LOL

Actually procrastinating cleaning house! : )
lynn a. Sep 18, 2007, 9:24am EDT
20 + stitches! That was no little cut. He did fine though, didn't he?
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:24am EDT
I am writing an article about Mom's cinnamon rolls and as soon as I can find the recipe I will publish it. I think it was the love she put into them that made them so good.
lynn a. Sep 18, 2007, 9:25am EDT
No doubt. I have to like someone to want to eat their food.
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:26am EDT
That was some cut. I hope he learned from the experience, but he will be showing it off at school no doubt.
lynn a. Sep 18, 2007, 9:26am EDT
What else can we see on the cams that you know about, Gabby. I'm still learning about this computer.
Mom, I know what you mean. My grandma used to make killer chocolate chip cookies, fluffy, almost like cakes, with cream cheese frosting, but it was the love she put in them that I remember the most!
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:27am EDT
This is what I really ate for breakfast. I found my loaf of wheat bread had a big hole through the middle so the slice barely held together.
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:28am EDT
Toast w/peanut butter

My neighbor was asking me how large a territory do cardinals keep? I don't know, only that they are territorial and usually only one male allowed in an area. We have two distinct male cardinals who come to our back yard. Maybe the smaller one, who still looks grown is the son. I don't know. Does anyone know this?
Cindi P. Sep 18, 2007, 9:29am EDT
Yeah and there were lots more inside! Full length the back of his little hand and it gashed about 3/4 of an inch wide! He was a trooper!
I have been a mom for less than a month away from 18 years now and this was my first stitches!!
Broken bones a few times but no stitches!
For being only 4 he did spectacular! Only cried when they gave the numbing shots!
Lynn, have you been to www.youtube.com? Most of the videos that are passed around the internet are from here. I usually browse the "comedy" section. Some of them are dull but once in a while there are some gut-busters to see.
lynn a. Sep 18, 2007, 9:29am EDT
Toast with peanut butter. We ate a lot of that. It made for a quick snack in the middle of the afternoon.
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:30am EDT
I have a pair of cardinals that have been in my yard for quite a few years. I know they hatch young ones every year but they never hang around. I suppose the older ones take them somewhere else.
Cindi, how scary that must have been, I hope it heals well for him!
lynn a. Sep 18, 2007, 9:32am EDT
Poor little guy. 20 stitches is huge in itself. That large a gash though. I bet you didn't waste time getting to the emergency room. Some of the doctors offices here don't do stitches. Send you straight on to the hospital. Can you believe that?
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:32am EDT
Lynn, that is also my evening snack when I need something before going to bed. I don't use butter, just the PB on hot toast.

Cindi, it is lucky that no crucial tendons or nerves were cut.
I don't remember seeing any Cardinals here, I bet they are pretty! We have burrowing owls, road runners, and quail. It's fun to watch the quail and all their brood following them, like soldiers marching with their top hats at attention. lol
lynn a. Sep 18, 2007, 9:34am EDT
When the baby cardinals were old enough to fly this year, the Mama and Daddy would come first into the yard and perch on the fence a particular pole in the vegetable garden, one on each, and then you'd see all the babies come to the feeder. It was so much fun to watch. The parents stood guard while they ate.
Dawn S. Sep 18, 2007, 9:34am EDT
good morning
lynn a. Sep 18, 2007, 9:34am EDT
I've never seen a road runner or a quail. It would be fun, I think. Hello, Dawn.
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:36am EDT
We don't have many quail in this area. That is what is fun about traveling, seeing the different species in other parts of the country.
Timothy S. Sep 18, 2007, 9:38am EDT
Yup 5 kids.. wow the conversation is going fast.. lol.. I should stop reading so many other things!
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:38am EDT
Mornin Dawn, How you be today?
I saw road runners when I was in Tuscon. No "beep beep" though. lol

Cindi is this the son that just hurt his hand?

Tim, I thought you'd left. Youn know how much women talk. LOL What ages are your children?

Mine are grown, 49,48,44,43,41.
Col. George W. Sep 18, 2007, 9:40am EDT
Coffee and cinnamon rolls too. Could I have some of that? I'm exhausted. I posted a contriversal article last night and spent half the night discussing the authorship of the article. not the article, the authorship. It got falgged for (other) whatever (other) means. It suprised me no one wanted to talk about the article but the authorship.
I's like buying a kid a toy and he plays with the box.
Dawn S. Sep 18, 2007, 9:41am EDT
This may sound really dumb, but, roadrunners are real?
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:42am EDT
Hey George. The flagging bunch is out in force again. There were several Gather spats going on last night. I ignore them. What was your article about?
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:43am EDT
Yes, Dawn, road runners are real.. They look a lot like the cartoon ones but not quite such long legs, and they are pretty fast.
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:45am EDT
Is everyone busy eating?
morning all!
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:52am EDT
Wow! Where did everyone go all of a sudden?
Timothy S. Sep 18, 2007, 9:52am EDT
they are 11 girl, 8 boy, 6 boy, 4 boy, 11 months boy

hey all yours are grown... must be nice and quiet? oh how i would love a few hours of quiet lol
I had oatmeal for breakfast and some coffee, having an early lunch with my boss tosay to do supervision.
Dawn S. Sep 18, 2007, 9:52am EDT
I keep having to work, how rude.
Cindi P. Sep 18, 2007, 9:53am EDT
yes ma'am it is!
I prayed all the way to the ER I am so thankful there wasn't deeper damage!

Lynn we are an hour away from teh dr's office and 20 minutes from the ER so it wasn
t a hard choice there, even if it does cost more!

Audrey i wandered off, i just got a Senseo coffee machine in the mail!! I am SOO excited!
Sheesh i'm easy!
Hey little Boo
Timothy S. Sep 18, 2007, 9:53am EDT
my boys are wrestling... and not listening... lol
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:53am EDT
Morning Grems, DO you have a busy day lined up?

Tim, Your day will come. I have 3 girls and 2 boys.
Dawn S. Sep 18, 2007, 9:53am EDT
Grems, you snuck by me. lol
Sorry, had to get Chris on the bus, then I realized we forgot his meds, got him off the bus, shuffled fast back into the house, then back out the door. And to think - I really do get him up early enough every morning! lol
I have one client today, as I said lunch with my boss and then choir tonite. Have work to do at home, filing, organizing, laundrey....
Timothy S. Sep 18, 2007, 9:54am EDT
Yeah I know.. And my mom says I will miss all the noise... I find it hard to believe her at the moment!
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:55am EDT
Cindi, you just ordered that Senseo last week didn't you?

GG, I'm surprised the bus waited.
there was alot of sniping going on last night here on gather. I have a new motto
I AM SWITZERLAND !!!!!!
What's new Dawn?
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:56am EDT
Tim, the time passes so fast that one day you are trying to hear over the noise and the next they are all gone from home.
lynn a. Sep 18, 2007, 9:56am EDT
I had to let two dogs out, and while doing noticed a bird feeder was empty. Still a lot of beautiful roses out there. I didn't know roadrunners were really real either. People who have 5 children are very brave. I might have, it just didn't work out that way. I wanted my own baseball team. But I have one grown. 31 just a couple of weeks ago.
Even with Steven still home, as he has grown it is quieter...
Cindi P. Sep 18, 2007, 9:57am EDT
yeah a week ago today!!

I can't wait to try it!!

Tim, i told ya my ears are still ringing! LoL
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:57am EDT
Refills anyone?

Mom, they were early for once, if they'd been late I would have been in the dog house and would have had to take him myself.
Dawn S. Sep 18, 2007, 9:58am EDT
we had an insect emergency in the office
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:59am EDT
I can't wait to see you and Chris. Does he wonder why this old lady from Iowa is coming for a visit?
drinking water, allergy meds make me hyper, don't need any water with it.
Hi GG
Road runners look a lot like the cartoon character, and they kinda run the same, but with out the sound effects. lol
lynn a. Sep 18, 2007, 9:59am EDT
What kind of insect emergency in the office.
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 9:59am EDT
Hmmmm, Dawn, Bee or wasp?
That means Dawn ran the other direction....
Nah, he just says Okay and goes back to his computer, his nose is stuck to the screen more than mine is.

Hi Grems, how ya be?
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 10:00am EDT
I already told them that about roadrunners, GG. LOL
lynn a. Sep 18, 2007, 10:00am EDT
Won't allergy meds dry up your sinuses or do something bad if you don't keep your fluids up?
Dawn, I will have a big spider pic for you later.. got a great web out by my garden
that's why I drink alot of water Lynn
Katie Scarlett (Site Bouncer Wanna Be) O. Sep 18, 2007, 10:01am EDT
Good morning Audrey and all! Just popping in to say good morning and I hope all have a great day. We've got beautiful weather down here in south Georgia, mid-80s and dry. So I'll be out enjoying it. Have fun all!
But my quilt buddies would like to meet ya. We'll have to do the ladies for lunch bunch thing, for sure!
lynn a. Sep 18, 2007, 10:01am EDT
Oh. A spider. Yes, that is an emergency.
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 10:02am EDT
I have noticed there are a lot of spider webs outside the last few days. I guess Indian summer is truly here.
Oh, ok, Mom, gmta. *grin*
lynn a. Sep 18, 2007, 10:03am EDT
My grandmother's crowd did quilts. We grew up with them. And we had a lot. It was nice.
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 10:03am EDT
Hi Katie, Your weather and mine in Iowa will be much the same today.

Spiders aren't emergencies, are they?
Dawn hates spiders....
Haven't been home in the morning since school started, I forgot how much noise the school buses make when they get to the school.
Mom is being very generous and bringing some material with her for quilting, I can't wait to see what she's bringing!
Dawn S. Sep 18, 2007, 10:04am EDT
ran is right! yikes big palmetto bug. I hope i didn't scare the patients away
lynn a. Sep 18, 2007, 10:04am EDT
I don't think spiders are an emergency to everyone, but to me they are. Too, we had to take 2 dogs over so many years to the vet for spider bites.
Carol Lloyd Sep 18, 2007, 10:05am EDT
ty for sharing
Sensational Sadie Sexy Senior Sitizen Sep 18, 2007, 10:05am EDT
GG, I would love to meet your quilting group. My grandmother quilted and taught it to my mother who also quilted. It didn't rub off on me. I do have my poem about a story my mom told me about grandma's quilts.
There are always different materials in the different parts of the county, that's why fat quarter swaps around the country are so popular.
naaahhhhh they are much braver than you dawn
Cindi P. Sep 18, 2007, 10:05am EDT
I gotta run guys!
Have a great day and I'll let you know how the Senseo works!
