Sudokuaholics Anonymous

Rola, I think I still have Ed's (postmaster) address, so will also send an e-mail to him. Gosh, just think, I may finally get an avatar!

Julie your first TOPP

Stella, do you mean the umbrellas, the tote bags, the caps? Or the button that says ''I survived Opening Day''? How about an almond croissant at
Mrs. London's?, or betting on in the stakes race, Fourstardave? Lunch at the Gideon Putnam?

Julie, no I have not decided what to get yet. Maybe a new camera! It's been crazy here with sports, the end of school year, getting D#1 home from college and graduation. We spread ourselves way too thin in the spring. I'm hoping things will be calmer next week!

Hi, Rola, I have also sent Ed an e-mail. And I'm excited to have accidentally made the TOPP list.

Hello Topper

You know you are a Sudokuaholic when...

you lurk to get TOPP - not only once but twice

Better yet, a cap autographed by Julie Krone, Mike Smith and Jose Santos...

Julie, the bug hits you, and before you know it you are moving up the TOPP list..
just ask Gail next time we see her... BTW Where has she gone.. too early for to take the hour off... thou it is nearly time for too

Stella, you WILL survive! I remember well those crazy May/June days. Our second daughter's birthday is in May, and we always felt as if she was a little overlooked because of all the 'end of year' activities. Both daughters were active in music as well, so had multiple recitals to add to everything. Things will start slowing down now for you, I hope.

I need to leave for a bit. Hope you all have a good evening/afternoon!

Julie: Hi. FYI: Kathy/Valrico is at Fripps Island at the beach this week with all the kids and grands and, I think, no computer.

Hello all. I have been lurking on & off this morning, but too busy to post. Good to see Julie back in the mix, hello & welcome to Jane, & good to see Topper/topp finally adding some comments rather than just lurking - welcome to everyone

Bye Julie

Hello Cyndi

Hello Jenni

Wow, you get around topper! We love (especially the kids, they get a kick out of it) the tshirts, caps, umbrellas etc. They are actually good quality and have lasted a long time. As for those other things, way too expensive and out of our league. We usually don't pay attention to the names of the horses, unless it has some meaning, like 'college girl'. We pick them for how pretty they are and only for $1. We never go to Travers and we just stay for a couple of races, otherwise it gets too hot.

topper, you got them to sign your cap! That is impressive. You must know someone!

Hi everybody/anybody...don't know what you all were talking about, and there is no catching up as we all know...so here I am. Hope all are having a great day. I've checked out the receeps page and found some yummy dishes there that I will try. I was also reading about the low cost of lamb in Austrailia....Its rather costly here...particularly center cut chops...which I love. H doesn't eat lamb, so as much as I'd enjoy a leg of lamb...its no go. Well I wil hang around for a few, but usually I'm alone so I won't hold my breath....don't have enough to do that... For those who are thinking breakfast...here's some for you...

Hi Jenni and Cyndi! Bye Julie, I'll try to catch you later or on your page.

Hi Mamacita, I like your LOL! Very cute!

Hi Jenni.

Hi Stella, Rola, & Mamacita. Mama, it's lunchtime for me (I have soup heating in the microwave). It is another cold day here, we finally have some rain & I think a little bit of snow. Lots of snow falling in the Snowy Mountains.
Stella, I will try to get over to your page later & leave a message.

hello Mamacita.. like the hot air ballon...

Oh sorry, hi Cyndi as well - I love your mouse

sun shinning here at the moment Jenni..
expect temp of 19C today.
it was warm overnight 13C

lucky you Rola, I'm jealous - we had a max of 9C yesterday, & I don't think it's going to be much higher today

If you don't have a lot of money on it, watching a race outside the track on those wonderful TV monitors they have in the trees in the picnic area makes for a pleasant and relaxing day. Of course, that's kind of the opposite of what motivates you (me, anyway) to go to the track in the first place...

We used to use lamb for spiedies. It's seasoned and cooked on a skewer and eaten on a large slice of italian bread with speidie sauce. It's local to the town my hubby is from, which is all italians.

Its so good to see you all...its been awhile. Just pretend that the food is lunch, or tea ...I thought it was a cute smilie and hadn't had a chance to use it yet. Thanks to those who liked something...you are so fast, I have trouble keeping up even here.... these are for those who have past the dinner hour and are ready for bed or to relax...enjoy!

What's in spiedie sauce, Stella? You'll have to put the receep on the receep page

I like all your food smilies Mama they go with one of mine -

What's that Jen? Copy any that you like.

HI everyone, jumpipng right in without reading, cause if I read first, I will never catch up!

topper, I have seen a lot of families making a day of it at the track in the picnic area watching the monitors. I never saw the purpose of going there and not actually watching the horses. But we don't bet, so that probably makes the difference.

we very rarely if ever get below 10C daytime

Hey MiZT...How you be?
