Next I'll The Secret Life of Bees--I've been looking forward to reading both for a long time now.<BR/><BR/>Loralee, Maggie, Tammy, and Tara Dawn: I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish!! :)<BR/><BR/>laura and paris: yes!<BR/><BR/>Mark: I'm glad to hear that it gets better. And I'm also imagining these strange summer exercise regimens becoming a habit in my future. It does feel good. In many ways, physical work is so much easier than mental work.Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377814945121401007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352133.post-1148403490204903752006-05-23T11:58:00.000-05:002006-05-23T11:58:00.000-05:00love the sounds of the colors...mmmmm.oh.and what ...love the sounds of the colors...<BR/><BR/>mmmmm.<BR/><BR/>oh.<BR/>and what are you reading?<BR/>(can't beat time for "personal" <BR/>reading, woohoo!)<BR/><BR/>:)gkgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00403357033466233622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352133.post-1148393070845241972006-05-23T09:04:00.000-05:002006-05-23T09:04:00.000-05:00Jes,I'm stiff everywhere, too.

Then doing things like hauling boats and mowing lawn and riding bike and playing golf all in one day makes me stiff in an entirely different way. It gets better, though. You, at least, will be able to see the results in the flower shop.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192452293593971724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352133.post-1148384804887179222006-05-23T06:46:00.000-05:002006-05-23T06:46:00.000-05:00I'm with you, Jessie.

Am looking forward to seeing the "after" photos of your creative endeavours. I'm glad you're also finding time to read and write, as your talent deserves nourishment.paris parfaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05457437124988976587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352133.post-1148356557547978692006-05-22T22:55:00.000-05:002006-05-22T22:55:00.000-05:00I'm so glad to hear you enjoying life so much.
