Hopefully, anyway! And very thankful Lewis is "moving" right alone! :D<br />David was puffing and panting in Eureka Springs! You would love the town. It's full of Victorian houses and quirky buildings. Lots of artists and earthy/nutty/crunchy folks, plus a lot of bikers go there, because they like to ride in the mountains of northwest Arkansas.<br />Thanks for the compliment! Right now, I feel a little like Phyllis on The Office. I will feel better when it grows a little longer!<br />I'm SO HAPPY to see your writing again! We need to pinky promise that we'll BOTH stick with it!Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-23616716547804054862019-07-02T20:18:21.285-05:002019-07-02T20:18:21.285-05:00No bears, but believe me, I kept my eye out. There...No bears, but believe me, I kept my eye out. There has been a bear sighting on that side of town! (I love that book!)<br />Oh, no! You dropped the lid! I don't remember this, but when I was not much more than a year old, while my mom was on the phone with my aunt and tethered to the kitchen, I climbed up on the toilet and my brother, who was 3 years older, caught me. He tried to "help" by pulling me down, but I had ahold of the lid and all three of us came down with a big crash that my aunt could even hear! My dad was able to glue it back together, though, and it had a very definite crack in it! Oh, and it was pink!<br />I would like to get one of those Deva cuts, but I'd have to drive to Kansas City to get one! It really is interesting, and it's working, although I have a long way to go. But that perfect curl? Yessss!Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-2792379869054128972019-07-02T20:00:40.100-05:002019-07-02T20:00:40.100-05:00You always make me laugh, eating blueberries inste...You always make me laugh, eating blueberries instead of filling the pail is so relatable, how could anyone not?! And delicious blueberry crisp, how that makes me miss my Grandma! Now if I could just convince Papa Bear that blueberries are every bit as delicious as blackberries! <br /><br />My daughter redid our bathroom commode when she replaced our flooring a couple years ago, and I was most amazed at her know-how. It is not an easy job. I've watched Papa Bear do it in the past, but never actually helped. Had to laugh at "Lewis's personal plumbing" but I definitely agree that it's a blessing it's in working order now. Toby has chronic digestion issues and I finally found a tube of chicken-flavor squeeze stuff that gets mixed in his food and he eats it (none of my cats will have anything to do with those hairball gels). <br /><br />Being able to have lunch with a friend is always a blessing, and so is having carefree days that you can lose track of (and not use an alarm clock). Your trip to Eureka sounds like fun, though I would be puffing and panting up the hills. I loved the things you bought. <br /><br />I think your new curly hairdo is so young and fun, and it just suits you perfectly. Happiness is finding a method to do it that works well for you! <br /><br />Thank you so much for your fun comments on my TToT post, that made me smile the other night. I am just now getting around to comments here, but Papa Bear is at a lodge meeting tonight and I've enjoyed the quiet time to read the posts and respond to them. Better late than never, and most thankfully, every blessed comment has posted and remained visible!! YAY!!<br /><br /><br /><br />Josie Two Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388032819905416258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-32158737797720349232019-07-01T21:58:02.603-05:002019-07-01T21:58:02.603-05:00I can't hear about blueberry picking without m...I can't hear about blueberry picking without mentally hearing "kerplink, kerplank, kerplunk." Hope you didn't see any bears! <br />Kudos to you for #4! I've "supervised" while John has done that repair many times, but I have learned that my best intentions on helping (with even minor repairs) usually go awry: https://www.thankfulme.net/2011/11/i-fixed-oops-broke-toilet.html<br />I've been a somewhat-follower of Curly Girl for a while now. I just found a local salon that specializes in the Curly Girl method. I'd like to try it for haircuts, but I also feel bad about dropping my current stylist, so I don't know what I'll end up doing. Your ringlet is cute!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16572626950558179575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-87652258841868412932019-07-01T21:20:33.601-05:002019-07-01T21:20:33.601-05:00I not only know HOW to pull a toilet and replace i...I not only know HOW to pull a toilet and replace it, I know how NOT to do it :) <br />Blueberry harvesting can be colorful in many ways....<br />Lake house is relaxing.
