Yes, writing posts is easy, but the time it takes to comment is over the top and several have complained that people didn't return comments. Life is just too busy! <br /><br />Glad Matt got his licence, but I do worry about older drivers on busy roads. Glad you continue to enjoy your bowling!<br /><br />Delicious looking recipe as always!<br /><br />Denise :-) Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-55214899017471457202015-05-05T19:09:40.401-04:002015-05-05T19:09:40.401-04:00You are right Birgit.

I am glad he passed the test and happy you enjoy bowling. I can only do 5 pins. If I do 10 pin, the bowling ball is too heavy and I dislocate something (part of my joint disease).

(I hate it, so does my husband). The next couple of years, we would just mow it over. If only you'd lived next door to me, you could have saved the asparagus patch!<br /><br />My husband gets tired of the constant computer time too, and I can't really blame him. I can easily spend twelve hours a day on the darned thing and still not get everything done.

She failed the eye test and it was a scramble to get her in to see an eye doctor to sign off on the papers saying she can see. I've gotten asparagus a few times this spring but the last couple of trips to the grocery store, the asparagus stalks were just too thick. We like the skinny ones. Hoping they have them today.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.com
