It was quite the production.<br /><br />I definitely want to take you up on the jet skis and possibly the fishing trip. Right now it's too far off for me to get my arms around, but maybe we can have our next planning meeting at the Sandpiper and Big Hair can meet us there. She's the organized half of this Blog Fest planning committee. <br /><br />BHE-See above - maybe after NYC we can schedule another one.<br /><br />Grandma J. - NYC isn't until second weekend in Feb. I'm starting to get nervous.<br /><br />Mrs. F. - I'm so disappointed you can't make it. But as I've said before it doesn't have to be blog fest for you to visit. Yes, what IS dock leaf?<br /><br />Diane-That was the best. That whole incident with the water and the depth really made a lasting impression on me, because it never would have occurred to me that anyone would be afraid of it being too deep. <br /><br />MPM-Me either.<br /><br />Jamie-I just love Deltaville, esp. the ball park. Taylor's should be on the national registry of historic buffets, although it's not the same any more. What I wouldn't give for one more Friday night standing in line there, salivating over the hugh puppies and shrimp.<br /><br />Daryl-Anywhere! I don't care, really. Just so thrilled to be there, won't care if I was in the subway station the whole time. As long as wine was available, that is.<br /><br />OK, here's what has just happened to me. Still clothed in my pajamas (of course because after all it's the weekend and getting dressed is optional), I walked outside to bring the dog in. As I'm walking towards the house, pajamas flying in the breeze, I hear my name being shouted from across the creek. There's a group of 4-5 people on the banks of the cemetery hollering my name. Mortified, I waved and continued on into the safety of my home. I can't see that well and have no idea who it was. But now I'll think twice about going outside in my pajamas.Chesapeake Bay Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187804072769932131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-27166955985647214452010-01-23T09:41:36.364-05:002010-01-23T09:41:36.364-05:00Sugar in Jamaica Queens NY is $3 a lb.

OK I have to ask Mrs F what the HELL is a DOCK LEAF. Being a water ski bum back in the day (I love back in the day) I think I have tried just about every remedy their is for Stinga nettles (Stinga Nettles and some other four letter words are what we call them).They hurt!!!( get one in your eye if you want to feel something real good.CBW and AM I know you have been there, done that it last for days)Any way their is only one remedy that works for me and some other nuts I mean friends. You have to whipp it out and let the flow go on the sting ( or if you were a female pull it to the side and let it flow) I know,I know this sounds gross but this remedy Has been pass down for generations and it works. I bet ya"ll are asking your self: did he put it in his eye? well if I could have got the flow right I would have, thats how bad it stung!And this business of using a cup, cups are made for mix drinks OHHH! maybe I got the two confused? Maybe thats why I have and X living in deltaville. Sorry if I grossed any one out but I tell it like it is. True Ghost story Sunday I promise.
