MARILYN Your day sounds like it was good all the way around and certainly good news about the nodule not having any changes. All your food certainly got my mouth watering and I would have been disappointed too if the lasagna was sold out I love lasagna!!

MARILYN Well I'm glad you're okay and hopefully it's just a muscle. Going to the ER was smart just in case it was something to be concerned about. Love the kitty in the picture and I had to laugh at your calling her Flat Foot

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (99742) • Daytona Beach, Florida 4 Aug

Going through some things, I discovered that I still have a small notepad my dad used to jot stuff down and addresses. As you can see, it is from 1944, so it means that he brought it and used it during his time in the DP Camps in...

It Happened.

rakski @rakski (158717) • Philippines 3 Aug

The pupa transformed into a butterfly. Of course, I did not see it happened. I was waiting for it to happened actually. But it decided to transform while I was gone or maybe I was busy.
