Sorry to hear this! Prayers for all.

Hello--
 
I'm hoping to find the old Juniata Elementary School yearbooks listed below.  My family didn't buy them every year, so I'm missing four books.  If you have any you're willing to sell (or could pass this message along to anyone you know who might)--or even loan me long enough that I can scan or photocopy the pages and then return them to you--please contact me here or at dubois95grad@yahoo.com 
 
'Am specifically looking for:
1982-83 (kindergarten with Mrs. Raybuck for me ) 1985-86 (3rd grade with Mrs. McNaughton and Mrs. Dodd for me) 1986-87 (4th grade with Mrs. Zappia and Mr. West for me) 1987-88 (5th grade with Mrs. Johnston, Mr. Vitello, and Mr. Morelli for me) (I would love to see the 1981-82 yearbook too, but the other four are more important to me.)  
Thank you for your help.   

This fire starting method is totally unacceptable!!!  Don't waste ANY chocolate, especially DARK chocolate!!!  

The more that end up in the traps, the fewer there are to lay eggs for the next year.  I think you caught most of the adults so there were fewer young.  When they are making a Beeline for the trap they aren't munching on your plants.  They have a date on their minds, not supper.

put the beetle traps in your neighbors yard

Never turn down an opportunity to hug someone you care about.  

God Bless her Family and give them strength and Peace. 

She was really pretty

Just cant believe we lost her.

I always read her comments because they were thoughtful, and I appreciated her strong support of the rights of children.  Most of all, she is one of the very few people on this site who had the guts to use her own picture as an avatar.  I admired her courage.

There are many bushes (or should I say plants, to keep politics out if it?), out here at the Lake.  They smell pretty when they are all in bloom.

Life, laughter and love you shared with all of us, like many I never met you, but in sharing yourself with all of us I feel I did know you. When I was depressed you PM me, Through that time you spent with me, it pulled me out of my depression showed me how beautiful life is.
I am truly blessed to have you in my life. You had the ability to reach out and touch another's heart.
Shmoopie11, your work God placed you on earth has been completed. you closed your eyes and when you opened them you were cradled in the arms of God, and saw his loving face. 
 
Prayers go out to your children and family. Good night Shmoopie, someday we will meet you again.

Wow I am speechless. I never met her except to chat on here and through messages and knew she had some health issues but she never complained and said all was well. She will be missed here and in RL. Prayers for her children and other family members. I enjoyed her comments and she will be missed. It is strange how someone you never met can have a deep impact on your life.
 
 
What Would Life Be
by Scott Wheeler, Sr
 
What would life be with out friends like thee
I'll tell you, like no longer being free.
Imagine what life would be so sad and blue
To go through life without that special you.
And I know we live so far away
Through the internet we are like castaways
Never get to touch or hug you for this I only pray
For some day I hope we can meet
To hug and laugh and dance to the beat
I know this would be a treat
For now this is all I see
Is my good friend here with me
Just think what life would be
Without friends like thee

 

My sincere sympathy to Kathryn and Anthony and the rest of her family. She was a bright and loving young woman. I will especially miss her wit and caring spirit and those warm hugs during Santa season. Rest in peace, dear friend!

I never had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer, but I always enjoyed her posts, especially those about her lovely children. She was a beautiful lady and will be greatly missed.

Sorry to hear this. She had some good, happy conversation on here. My sympathy to the family.

Many of us had our days brightened by her comments. I pray that she rests in peace.

Sorry to hear this! Prayers for all.

Possibly this guy?  He's cute!

I already snagged my Mother's Day gift.  It's an Alaskan Red Cedar.  Found it for a relatively decent price at Bonnie's Gardens in Osceola Mills on Saturday.  I'll happily relieve you of the toad too!    He can live in my toad house.

Now I remember why I brought him home.

For some reason the peppers realy took off this year. I have tons. here is one of them. Don't mind the floor I am remodeling and ripping up the carpets and some of the sub floor to make it flat and putting down bamboo.

Normal behavior, but I think you had the camera backwards!

I had a yellow trillium bloom in my garden this spring. I planted the root but really wasn't expecting it to grow as it isn't a native and wildflowers are often tricky to grow outside their native habitat. It was a nice surprise.
 
The flower was more yellow than my picture. I think I waited a bit too long to photograph it and it was starting to fade. If anyone is interested its story is here http://downtoearthgardenclub.org/2013/05/yellow-trillium-trillium-lutea/
 
 
 

another way we are getting fooled is Ice cream.  The Ice cream is the same price but it is now sold as 1.5 quarts instead of a half gallon!
