Saint Louise de Marillac was beatified by Pope Benedict XV in 1920 and, in 1934, she was canonized by Pope Pius XI. Her feast day is March 15.

See Saint louise, you are truly special!!! She was the founder of the daughters of charity and the patron saint of the sick and she stands as a model for all women.

WOW...you are a true blessing to us and a very special lady!!!

Thank you for sharing this, RA!!!! How totally awesome.

Louise you ARE a blessing indeed!!!!!

Yes our sister Louise is a blessing, a gift even that I gave and continue to give thanks for. From the first time I met her she felt like family to me. Only saying it here because I have told her face to face.

Actually, she can be a devil too... GETTING ME TO WASH PLASTIC EATING UTENSILS AND ALL!!! One day I will get therapy for that little incident

I just wanted to see if it could be done.You pass the TEST of a good House b....

"a good House b...." Now that made me start another day with a smile !

hey ya Peeps..

Last Night , Another online friend passed away. She was only 30.
Her Name was Arabella and she had Lupus..It had been attacking her lungs..
I dont know if peeps realize that this disease doesnt discriminate to age, I never knew anyone so young to have it so bad let alone die from it. It was another really sad night..
Love you guys..happy Humpin' Day!

NAKED?!?! How could I leave when we are talking naaaaaaaaaaaked worms here

Freddie, I think you are right, might have even attended one of their concerts back in the day :-{O}

Wintry mix turned me around so I am at the dive shop sealing siding (beautiful fir) for the job.

Okay, that is my excuse anyway

Hugs Krispi (((((((((((())))))))))))))

Good Morning BT! Happy Saint Louise Day!
St. Louise, it is SO good to see you posting here. Plus you got one in on Tom.

Krispi, I am so sorry for your loss. Hugs to you my friend.

Dekid Worms? LOL

Have to get into work/lurk mode.

This whole damn thread made me laugh! Thanks!!!

Judy... looking good for dinner next weekend. Will contact you with further instructions. The eagle has landed. I repeat, the eagle has landed.

Have a great day, all!

Louise, I swear it's a halo! I saw it with my own eyes!

I love Key Lime Pie!!

I also love that picture!! Somewhere I have a picture of a goose my hubby took years ago that's really cool...I'll have to look for it...

More hugs Krispy...

Awesome thread today! ♥♥

Krispi, big hugs to you, I am so sorry. ((HUGS))

Lousie, Happy St. Louise Day to you! So glad to see you here this morning. ♥♥♥

Hey, some good news here, my son, Brandon, won his first 400 meter run yesterday! Came in first. WooHoo, I was so happy for him and so very proud! Oh, he does Field and Track for his H.S.. He was actually smiling all through dinner and even conversated with us!

Yay...congrats to Brandon!!

Kelly, The eagle has landed? Maybe he's looking for naked worms! Awaiting further instructions....

Louise, I always thought your blue "hat" looked like something from the 50's scary movies - like a helmet is being lowered down on your head by those wires for a mind meld. LOL!
Other that that, you and Tom look great.

maybe the cone of silence Linda??? from Get Smart
















damn password thingy!!!!!!!!! BT2 comeon!!!

Cone of silence..lmao freddie!

I loved Get Smart...wanted to be Agent 99! LOL

Donna, Patrick did too liked the show and wanted to be Agent 99 Sorry Pat, shouldn't tell a blabbermouth a secret

http://elrellano.com/videos_online/4624/circo-roncalli.html

Morning, guys. Eric and I call our house the Cone of Sanity a la Get Smart. Programmed it into the Garmin, which now announces, "Arriving at Cone of Sanity, on right". Slays me every time.

Krispi, Lupus is such a horrible disease, especially because it attacks the young. I am so sorry.

On a brighter note, and a very happy day, here is Tinker, Louise, and me on a very happy day. Jerry, of course, would not go, as he got a little, no a lot whoozy, on boats. He did give one up for the team when Chip and Bill chartered a boat for all of us to go to Kline. By the end of the day, Jerry was very happy to be back on terra firma. LOL

Good Morning, EVERYONE!!
Louise, Good One on Tommy Boy!!! ♥♥

Warm here, today, in a cold sort of way.... guess it's somewhere near 40 F, and a light, gentle rain, helping to wash away more of the remaining sn*w!!

Ruth, healing hugs to Jared, and gentle HUGS to you and Ken ♥

Today, with the warmer ( ???) temperature and rain, I may take a wander into the front garden / yard and see if I can recover the remaining Christmas lights. Got everything else in and packed away last Saturday, but these last ones were frozen into the ground!!

Close to lunchtime here, but, for now, I think I'll just offer up some



and, of course



Be Safe, and Play NICE!!!

Bill

Morning, Jim!!

Wonderful photo, thanks for sharing!!

But why didn't someone loan Louise a hat, or at least a pair of sunglasses!!!

- Just Kidding!!! -

Okay, off to get busy for a bit!!!

Bill

Hey, gotta share this one, was checking our weather here and I just got the biggest giggle with this one for the northeast~ Spring Fever Advisories and Happy Warnings! OMG! Love it!

Spring Fever Advisories and Happy Warnings are issued for communities from the southern Plains to the mid-Atlantic late in the week as warmer air builds.

Highs will climb 20 degrees higher than recent days in the mid-Atlantic by Friday, allowing people to get outdoors and enjoy the nice springlike weather. Bright sunshine will compliment the warmth.

Get your flip flops and short sleeve shirts ready!

Denise, yes, that aweful plant disease!

Hi Debbie :-)

Hi all, this will bring a ter.

Tom, that was the day Tink, Louise, Steve and I rented a boat. I do have pics of the Gilligan's Island Cruise though. Yes, I remember the massage. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Freddie..I had to check to see who you were...

This has been playing over and over in my head today...it's one of my favorite songs ever! You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one.

Love that song, RA!

Afternoon BT --- what a fun thread today 'specially the Crowned Saint getting a good one in on Tom (kinda like seeing a good prank pulled on big brother!).

Krispy, so very sorry... I have a friend with Lupus. The hardest part has been how people treat her.. like it's all in her head. Lest we walk in other's shoes......

Gorgeous day here and I've frittered away the morning... We've had 4 calls from people wanting more info on buying the biz... Fingers & toes crossed people... Fingers and Toes!!!!

Oh did I mention that 'they' are screwing around with Guy's retirement? I wonder who 'they' will blame when they've gone thru the teachers, ffr's, police, public employees and such.... 34 years of risking his butt and now this....
~~~~~ back to my happy place ~~~~~

With that... I gotta run down to the shop to make a few sales and then grocery shopping. This eating healthy stuff is a lot of work!!
See ya'll laaaaaaaaaattttttttterrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Fingers and toes crossed, prayers said, etc... and Social Security has been messing with my husband for a few years..we want money back, we don't, you owe, you owe more, you don't.... ahhh I understand ...

it is stuff like this pic that help me get through the day at time. This pic was taken by my bride at the MM last fall. Jerry and I were imitating that dang Orange, Mother was supervising us

FYI, my bride has been lurking a lot lately. I wish she would come out of hiding - I think I do anyway

OH S**T, TEARS OF JOY ARE STREAMING NOW - DAMN THEM!!!

what the heck does Jerry have around his neck??? no... Tom, not your arm the other thing that looks like a dish cloth or???

Great pic! Keep them coming!

Hey Pam...come talk to us!

You sure those are tears of joy Tom, maybe your just overflowing pizza grease out your tearducts

LOOK Again!!!
Here is SB Co Firefighter Eric Gray and Riley searching in Japan....

brings tears just thinking about all they are going thru every minute of every day.
After too long of finding only deceased victims they have to stash a 'survivor' so that the dogs don't get depressed.
This is Riley's first big mission - he was scheduled to go to Christchurch but they would not waive a 6 month quarantine on dogs --- duhhh!!!

Donna, FYI Pam lies a lot about me, makes up the craziest stories you ever heard.

Boom, it was a cloth or paper towel.

Poo, seriously buddy got laughing so hard looking at that photo, my eyes were leaking. It's a good thing

mmmmmmmmm, the grease that was on today's pie at lunch.... well, I have to admit, I licked the box when the pie was gone almost as good as those chicken lips on the dollah menu - almost

Hmmmm We'll see Tom, we'll see...Pam???

and pizza grease sounds good to me...

Tom, now that picture just makes me smile...and shed a few tears but I love it!! BM!

Tara, way cool about Riley! GO Riley!!

And pam, we'd LOVE to see you around here!! We know you'd give us many laughs with Tom stories!!

Tara, what those guys do, along with those incredible pups, makes me tear big time. God, I love them.
