			<description><![CDATA[ OSB, I&#39;m delighted to hear the appetizer went over well. I&#39;ll tell my former colleague, the person I learned it from, that her recipe has travelled
from Iran to BC to Alabama and who knows where it may end up? ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Meetshare:  So truely for you, &#39;it is the best of times&#39;!  That&#39;s wonderful!  Enjoy! 
<br>
Though we are scorching here, it&#39;s been a grand summer so far - I guess you guys set the precedent when we visited in May &amp; now, the whole season will
be wonderful!
<br>
We enjoyed having our neighbors over for dinner last night.  Your appy was a hit, as was GR&#39;s cake.  I couldn&#39;t locate the jarred sundried tomatoes for
Patrick&#39;s dip, so substituted sundried tomato pesto,... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Rave: our annual shopping orgy went extremely well. We managed to use our remote-controlled fart machine in a variety of places, which amused the heck out of
us. I&#39;m not sure if our &quot;victims&quot; were quite as amused as we were. Most of them were politely trying to pretend they didn&#39;t hear anything,
which convulsed us even further. The BC Ferries employee who was trying to direct traffic off the boat at Tsawwassen must have wondered what was wrong with the
crazy women in the red... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I thought I posted this earlier, but it must have gotten lost in cyber space.  It&#39;s a link that explains what I had referenced earlier.  In fact, there is
a link that will show you all of Dothan&#39;s murals as well:

<br>
How coincidental, eh GR &amp; Meetshare?

			<description><![CDATA[ It may have been the wisest thing to do Joce. I was talking to my son a few minutes ago in Westchester County and we had to cut the conversation short because
of a thunder and lighting storm. Earlier, my sister in Northern PA had to cut the phone conversation with me she complained that a horrendous storm came out of
nowhere. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;m going to complain about the weather because my plane couldn&#39;t land in stormy White Plains. I should be sitting down to dinner with my dear friend
and her family, but instead I&#39;m in BUFFALO. At least our AA crew has handled this very well and should get us there yet tonight. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ It&#39;s a bit toasty here in Durham Dr. Lew, I think I would also like to take a short shower or two from your deluge. I hope things dry up soon enough.
<br>
<br>
Rant: Most of my family is in New York right now, rain or not I would have liked to be there with them.
<br>
<br>
Rave: I am finally scheduled for a small surgery July 9th, waiting to hear when it is going to happen just adds stress.
<br>
<br>
Wishing all traveling TTGers (and there are many) a good trip and lots of fun. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ GR:  Never will you be zzzzz!  I can see why you &amp; Dave might enjoy a pet.  I, however, can&#39;t wait &#39;til DS2 collects up the one he left in our care
(as cute as he is and all that...). 
<br>
<br>
I tried (unsuccessfully) to upload some scanned pictures &amp; an article from a magazine that I received in the newspaper this AM.  It turns out that the
reason I felt like I&#39;d been &#39;home&#39; in Chemainus was because a mayor from Dothan visited there in the 80&#39;s &amp; brought... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;m going to rant about the weather too. I can&#39;t remember the last time it was sunny! I have a tomato plant (in a patio pot) that is croaking also,
since it desperately wants sun. Our gutters are clogged, but the gutter cleaners can&#39;t get here because its raining too much.
<br>
<br>
also crazy busy at work, and trying to get out of here to go visit my mom this weekend. All the family is going to be there (including cousins, uncles, my
nephews from Texas), and if we are stuck... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Only on your north side, Dr Real? You should live on the Left Coast where moss grows between your toes and ALL sides of you if you stand still for a few
moments.
<br>
For once, we&#39;re being careful about talking about the weather. The sunshine continues and yet the cool breezes are there, too.
<br>
<br>
Rant/Rave: DH has decided we&#39;ll get a puppy. That should be fun. DS&#39;s puppy is so perfect to borrow though, and we get to hand it back. Hope it&#39;s
not a mistake to get one of our... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Welcome to the rain party, DoctorLew!
<br>
<br>
RANT: I too, am sick of the rain. In fact, I&#39;ve been sick of it for days now, and it&#39;s still raining. Our lawn has turned into a mushroom farm, and our
deck has become a moss garden.
<br>
<br>
RANT: Some family issues causing me to worry a lot, but I hope it all works out for the better. Only time will tell.
