What kinda pie?

I got them a double cream blueberry (that's his favorite - yuck) and as long as I was there, I got ME a double cream lemon. I was eating a big piece while reading the forum, and I'm a bit disappointed. It's sort of blah.

So it was raining cats and dogs when I got ready to go, like I said before. I took my umbrella and off I went. My first stop was the post office for the mail, and by the time I got there, the sky was opening up and the rain had stopped. No rain at all for the whole hour or so I was out and about. Then after I had brought in all the bags of groceries, the sky closed up again, it got very dark, the wind came up and now it's pouring again. I must've done something right for the gods to smile upon me like that!

:D:):D;):):p:):D

Just got a phone call from William. He's a bit north of Bakersfield, which means he'll be here in about an hour. He said he's seen about 20 accidents from slippery highway. He stopped off and picked up a couple of rescue sulcata tortoises to bring me.

I had supper with some of my most favorite people... three of my kidlings, one son-in-law and one someday son-in-law. Life is good!

Sounds lovely!! What did you have?

I opted not to eat dinner but I made myself a rum and coke instead and getting ready to watch a movie!

There are two, and they look really good. The gal they come from thought they are female, but I think they're too young to tell yet. And the shells look very nice. Wait a sec and I'll go grab a picture... . . . . . . . . .

That's Will at my computer and Misty keeping watch. Then Will's car with stuff he brought, and then the box of Sulcatas. They both look pretty darned good, just a bit muddy. I'll get them set up in the back yard tomorrow first thing, and give them a nice bath. I'll take more pictures tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing! Is that Thelma & Louise?
Tell Misty she is a pretty girl and Will that he has a sexy leg;)
Glad he had a safe drive!

Yes, that's Thelma and Louise.

Socks and sandals? Is the weather getting to you? :p

He said he knew he was going to have to have the heater up high in order to keep the inside of the windows from fogging up,so he dressed cool, but when he got here the windows were fogged up anyway.

Those darn tortoises and their heavy breathing! I moved 500 miles during the winter with a PILE of reptiles. I was practically naked by the end with the windows cracked and the heat up.

I think that is the worse thing about traveling with reptiles.
