Ranchgal,

We are all waiting with bated breath. In the chat, Louise said that she doesn't know what has happened to Ennis. However, she knows we are all waiting anxiously..so let's just hope that Chapter One of "Shelter From The Storm" is forthcoming shortly.

I think we should all keep our




or perhaps, call on



to pray to



to bring



home safe and sound to



in the little home they share together



When Ennis is home, safe and sound (soon, we hope!) they will be able to eat




and play with




and maybe even with




And when they get to that point, life will be nothing but



This story brought to you by



who in real life looks like this

Whoa, Leslie! You are in rare form tonight! Thanks so much for the slide show; it gave me a much-needed laugh out loud amidst all the sturm and drang of late. (Still more going on at DC too. What's up with that -- is it the heat? It's always been a place of refuge for me, just like here.)

Love the car, by the way. Now that my daughter needs my car for herself, I'm shopping for a convertible myself. (What midlife crisis? This is too much fun!)

Ice cream for everyone!

That picture was taken on August 3, 2005 in front of the ANA Saab Dealership in Trollahatten, Sweden. We picked up the car there, toured Norway and Sweden for two weeks, then flew home on August 16.

Norway is beautiful, the people are friendly and everyone speaks English. The downside? Everything costs a fortune. That car, which costs me $35 to fill up here at home, cost close to $90 to fill up in Norway. A box o wine ($11.99 here) cost $30. Drive through a tunnel and they hit you with a $8 toll. Drive over a bridge and it costs $15.

Even so...I wouldn't change a minute of our trip. We had a great time.

Betty...go for the convertible. It is worth it!

Now back to our regularly scheduled E&E discussion.....

Went grocery shopping today. Saw a pint of Haagen Daaz CPB Ellery that called my name. Had to resist! I've lost 30 pounds on the BBM Diet and I can't go back now. I'll just dream of it tonight instead. *SIGH*

Well, neatfreak, if you absolutely can not have a 'real' CPB Ellery cone, at least have a cyber one?  Hmm?  :)



Enjoy!

My son just called up from downstairs, "What's so funny?"

"Oh, nothing..."  :laugh:
