Stringer, you gotme cracking up, I like all the other names for your Monday! HAHAHAHA
Ya, you Canadians, we got a few inches and I woke up to white... I want SUMMER too!!

[Alty]

Us Canadians? I didn't realize we controlled the weather, darn, I'm always the last to know. If only I had those kinds of powers, boy would you all be in trouble. Muwahahaha ;)

[startover22]

Grrrr... no more snow! Nighty night Alty:) you need your rest tomorrow is MONDAY!!

[Alty]

I need a sled, that's what I need. I don't even know if the buses are running tomorrow. It's not that cold but the roads are really slick right now. The kids are praying for a snow day.

Nighty night Starty, sleep tight, don't let the snow man bite. Hee, hee. :)

[Stringer]

Ok!. SPRING HAS FINALLY COME TO CHICAGO!!

Blue skies with perfectly shaped little white puffy cumulus clouds moving slowly across the sky, AND 74 yesterday and 76 degrees today. The wind was warm, tulips, dogwoods are blooming with beautiful, colorful flowers--wonderful. I worked in the yard, even went and bought a new key start lawn mower. Damn, it is so beautiful and clean... I don't even want to use it and mess it up.

Finally... I earned this spring... and damn it, I am going to enjoy it..

[Alty]

I earned spring, I really did, where is it?

I have only myself to blame, I put all the winter stuff away, I should know better by now. This weather sucks, it truly does. I don't even know how many inches of snow we got but believe you me it's allot. I think I'm going to put the Christmas tree up tomorrow, just so I can feel festive. ;)

Alty... "this too shall pass........":)

I hope so Stringer, but I honestly thought that the last dump of snow was the last dump this year. Guess they showed me didn't they? Ha, ha, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, shame on me, sob. I hate snow!

Anyway, how are you sweet Stringer? I saw your ideas about Monday, personally I think we should just skip it all together, what do you think of that? Or it could be Thirdday, meaning the third day of the weekend. ;)

I am fine, thanks Alty. I am in my own little piece of heaven with my new key start, self propelled, mulch or bag collector, mower. It is matted black with dull gray trim and is shaped like a race car! Sorry... could be a guy thing... doesn't matter... I am in love. I put it together, shined it up, went and bought some fresh gas (can't put old gasoline in a new mower you know), and have that baby put on charge over night. Believe it or not, last Wednesday we had no grass, in the last three days it is over 5 inches high already! But I am ready, BOY... am I ready!

Stringer ( I know, I know, a simple thing like this can get a guy going... well... yeah.)

[Stringer]

Ok old friends and new, I am checking out for the night... tomorrow comes earlier and earlier it seems.

Alty, I like the three day weekend a lot!

And Start, glad you liked my "new" names for Mondays... you name a few...

Stringer (night all)

[Alty]

Right now a snow blower would get me going. I don't care what color it is or how big just as long as it can blow the snow away. Sorry, I'm still on the whole snow thing. ;)

Congrats on your new toy Stringer, are you actually going to use it or just admire it from afar? If you're anything like my hubby you'll wash it every time you use it and shine it up so it still looks new. You men are to cute. :)

Right!. I am probably going to wash it, pat it dry, wax it and... where is that camera?

[firmbeliever]

Hi People,
Hope Alls going well in your part/s of the world.

[Stringer]

Hi Firm, yes it is pretty much...

And in yours?

[Alty]

More SNOW!

Need I say more? ;)

[rpg219]

Hiya... how are we doing today?

Stringer... did you get out and enjoy the sun today? It sure has been a beautiful one, huh?

[Stringer]

YES Hon it was absolutely beautiful just like yesterday, love it, love it, love it! I feel 20 years younger hon. Did you see? I got a new lawn mower!! It is beautiful, Craftsman, key start, self propelled, black with muted gray trim, looks like a racing car! I think I am going to wax it, yeah just so the grass won't stick to it... you know haha!

[rpg219]

Those are so cute... Colton wants to ride them every time we see them in the store. You can come clean mine while you have the wax out, lmao!

[Stringer]

I bet Colton would like this too, but it isn't a riding mower. Nope, it is a walk behind that is self propelled.

Once last spring when Marta was in Poland I bought one. (a rider mower)... it was nice, very nice. It had a roof, a wagon on the back and even a place to put your beer! But Marta talked me into taking it back even from Poland on the phone, and I did. She was right, our property isn't very big and with the large patio in the back there really isn't too much grass to cut. It would have been just another of Stringer's toys... but she thought this one was expensive and not necessary... so I listened and agreed (this time).:D

[Alty]

SNOW BLOWER! I don't need a lawnmower yet, and the way things are looking I won't any time in the near future. ;)

I think we had a 1 week spring, skipped fall, and went right back to winter, huh?
