I know the feeling!! It has finally let up today, I am debating hanging my wash out or not. So the better weather should hit your area tomorrow. It seems that Osi gets the rain one day, than the following day it hits my area, than the following day it hits your area!
Yesterday was DD#3's last day of preschool. I made her a "graduation" cake, chocolate like she requested. Yes, Leighann it will seem really strange to have all the kids in school every day. The bad part about it is, it will only be for one year, as next year is DD#1's senior year!!
I will have one as a senior, one as a Junior, one as a fifth grader and one in Kindergarten!!
Anna, that cake looks ... should I say it???? Delicious!!!
Roberta I too am sorry for your loss, and also must have missed it earlier!
Frugal for me has been the normal cold water wash, again debating on the wheather as to hang it out! And baking DD's graduation cake from a mix that was bought on sale with a coupon, I think it was like 25 cents for the mix.
As for the Opossums, we are to just let them loose, but not near the house in case they really liked it in here they will try to come back in!! Crochet, Opossums are not likely prone to rabies! They believe it has to do with their body temp. Little education on Opossums, which I found interesting. They are actually "clean" animals. They keep the environment clean. They eat snakes!!! And are immune to snake venom. DH, and I would actually like to keep one in the back yard due to that fact. they really don't bite, but, they hiss, and can foam at the mouth to "trick" predators, into thinking they are sick. (hence the term playing possum)
Regardless, this weekend, DH and DS will be boxing up 6 baby Opossums, and letting them loose in the field behind the trailer park.
I can't wait ! I got a Columbia coat for $1 !!! My friend and I ran out of there before the lady realized how low she marked it.
Roberta, I am sorry for your loss. Must have missed that earlier.
Amazingly the color came out nice and even. But they are going back in the wash in the next bleach load, because I am afraid of what might happen if Mr. Potty Trainer doesn't quite make it again. 
the lady buys my "Smoke Eliminator" candles and when she heard about the cake she bought it sight unseen. She's a friend of my mil's. I told her on the phone I hadn't burned any yet and she said that's o.k. she didn't intend to burn it, just for decorations. I did burn one though last night... Coffee Cake ( it smells like coffee) and it burns fantastic. We were a little worried with it having 4 wicks but it burned just fine.
My first post!
