I have had more than my share, don't even want to think about this anymore till the next time. Heard you FH, lucky you, he speaks English. Missed you!

Renee, nice to see you, missed you too!

Liz, you busy eating Chinese food? Don't forget Max, a few ribs for my sweet giant guinea pig!

See you tomorrow, will try to read. What is dimanche des Rameaux in English? Is it palm Sunday or what?

[TryinginFL]

than ever

 

Sometimes I am more forgetful than ever - I forgot my phone when I went out this afternoon so couldn't order Chinese!  Went to Panera Bread instead and picked up one of their new Chicken Soba Noodle bowls - very good but no ribs for Max   Poor baby, I will have to get him some next time I go out! He has been busy eating leftover chicken wings I brought home from lunch yesterday!

 

 

Dimanche des Rameaux is Palm Sunday - right, Gail!

[thismoment]

ever more

evermore-- always, forever

Dawn broke brilliant and blue upon Rome this morning, and Christians gathered in St Peter's Square to commemorate Palm Sunday.

According to the story, Palm Sunday (Dimanche des Rameaux) marks the day Jesus triumphantly enters Jerusalem. He rides a donkey, which is considered an animal of peace-- whereas a horse is a beast of war. According to the Greco-Roman tradition, palm branches are spread out in advance of the victor.

Christian scripture tells us that within a week Jesus is accused, betrayed, tempted to flee, summarily tried, convicted, tortured, crucified, and resurrected.

More peaceful

I found myself more peaceful this morning when I woke up.
Must be Palm Sunday effect!

Good morning!

[TryinginFL]

peaceful feeling

 

May you keep that peaceful feeling throughout your day, Gail!

 

Good morning!

 

It is cold here - currently 48 degrees!!

[gail]

Feeling ready

Its also cold here but with the sun. I'm feeling ready to go out south will all of you. Must bring Max as our body guard! And FH to put cream in our backs.

I can imagine us in our string bikini!!!!! What a beautiful sight!!!

[TryinginFL]

Ready here!

 

Sounds like a great idea - we're ready here!  I'm sure Max would love it but not sure FH would want to come if I were to wear a string bikini!!

 

Sun shining, but still cold - 62 degrees with wind

[gail]

Here we

Ah, forget about the string bikini, too uncomfortable. Caicos, here we come!

[TryinginFL]

We go

 

Ok, then, here we go!!   Lots of fun and sun - what a ball we will have!

 

Max just wants to make sure that he is going too and I told him "of course"!  

[fishinghat]

Go ahead

 

Go ahead and wear string bikinis BUT I an not!!!   I'll take café of the lotion!!

[TryinginFL]

ahead now

 

OK, lets go ahead now...  I was thinking, we could stop in Key West first, as it's only a short hop to the Caicos from there!  (Key West is the southernmost spot of the US)

 

Everybody up for it??  (String bikinis are definitely out - for everyone!)

 

FH - I hope you will join us!

[gail]

Now now

You choose Liz, but there has to be Caicos for sure.

I want a secluded place, few people around, a chef, private beach, turquoise water, white sand. FH can serve the drinks, since he does not want to put on the cream. Now now, I am getting ahead if myself.
And of course, Max has to be there, he's the mascot.

Got myself a palm at the chapel!

[TryinginFL]

now then

 

 

Now then, we'll go just to the Caicos - if you don't want to be around a lot of people.  Since Key West is quite the party spot, we'll skip it.  I really need the sun and warmth as I have had a great deal of pain this past week!  Taking more Hydrocodone than usual, and I hate doing that.

 

I know that Max will have a good time and he is such good company   We'll have to be sure the chef has ribs on hand!

 

I got a palm frond yesterday but forgot it since I left early - it was FREEZING in there!

[fishinghat]

then hungry

 

Found an interesting article on how excellant capybara meat is. Don't let Max read it.

[TryinginFL]

hungry again

 

FH, I couldn't read that!  I know that guinea pigs are eaten in South America, but we don't do that here!

They have been nothing but pets in my house!

 

Hope you're having a wonderful Palm Sunday... 

[gail]

Again not

Ah FH, that is disgusting, I can't read that either without feeling sick! Don't get any weird ideas about Max.

Can't even step on a fly,or kill a spider, which I hate!

It's supper time, again not hungry. Daydreaming of the day you will be serving us drinks on the beach!

Liz, palm frond you call it, mine has about 12 leaves and when they dry up, I will put your name on one. Yep, that I usually do, inscribe the names of loved ones. My appetite has returned, not thanks to Fisherman, having pizza. See you later!

[fishinghat]

not wise

 

I am a typical male. If it doesn't out run me I will try to BBQ it!!

[TryinginFL]

wise acre

 

Oh, FH....that is terrible~!  Do you know that expression "wise acre"?

 

Gail, I only got a frond - haven't been given a whole leaf in years...  Interesting, considering where I live there are palms everywhere!

 

Enjoy your pizza, I have steak but am not hungry either... think that link of FH's ruined my appetite!

[fishinghat]

acre plowed

 

Yes I am familiar with that term and yes I am that term. I have also been called worse!!

[TryinginFL]

plowed under

 

FH, I must apologize...  I did not intend to be rude or mean - I was kidding and hope that you took it that way!

 

I feel that my remark should be plowed under - I feel terrible

[fishinghat]

under fire

 

Oh, no problem TFL.  I certainly resemble that remark!!! Sometimes I am a wise acre. No offense taken at all. But I didn't mean to ruin your appetite though. You guys are all great and I enjoy of conversations.

[gail]

Under my

Fisherman, have you ate something that could have cause a court circuit between your three neurones?

Under my dead body, you will not toast our beloved Max!

[gail]

Oops, over my dead body! Problem with a neurone here, FH, it's your fault, you got me fired up! Can't spell right either, off to bed!

[TryinginFL]

fire my

 

You were tied, so I used part of each!

 

I did fire my steak but it was overdone and not very good....  I enjoyed my tomatoes and cucumbers more!

[fishinghat]

my goodness

 

Such wonderful ladies.

 

TV time for me!! See you all tomorrow.

[TryinginFL]

Goodness continued

 

Have a good evening, FH!

 

Our goodness continued in spite of everything...

[fishinghat]

Continued working

 

Good morning all.

[TryinginFL]

working daily

 

I am now retired and no longer working daily!

 

Morning all!

[gail]

Daily until

I will have to work daily until I am 65. Still have 40 years to go!!!

Good morning! And if Max wants to go on vacation, be sure he does not choose Missouri!

[TryinginFL]

until vacation

 

 

Can't wait until vacation time!  Max would never choose Missouri since it is as hot and humid there as it is here in the summer!  I remember being in St. Louis several times in the summer and it was unbearable!

 

Sorry you have to work so long, Gail - that's what happens where you are young!
