As requested, after a long period of closure I am re-opening the Sandbox to all and sundry.
It's meant to be a fun place to chill out and let off steam.
Welcome back to those of you that played here before and hi to any newcomers. I shall post my list or rules for nice play, ( no throwing of sand, appropriate clothing, etc. later)
Please come and join in and post. Would love to hear from some of you guys/gals with updates etc.
For newcomers, my strap line gives a summary of my sitch, but do ask if you want more details.
Cool!
Happy Spring everyone!! I am so glad winter is over. It's been a long, cold (and snowy) one...
Sure has been. Even over here.
At last I can get back on my horses and start galloping over the fields!!!!!!
It does feel like a homecoming of sorts! I'm waiting for those Spring flowers to pop their heads out! At the beginning of the winter I bought a big black shawl because it was a good buy, but wondered when I would wear it. Of course, I have lived in it this whole winter and am searching for it today. I can't figure out where I left it in the house! I have a business trip coming up soon, and I think I need to buy a nice looking one to take with me. That might be my project for today.
Did you find your shawl, Lotus?
Spring flowers are out here! Daffodils and crocuses are blooming. It was warm enough to enjoy a fire in the patio chimney tonight. The only thing missing were the marshmallows.
Hello my Lovelies,
Glad to see the gang all here and the sandbox open again. I planted flowers with Mr. A yesterday. The weather was gorgeous. My youngest DD had been gone to FL for spring break with a number of her friends. I'm happy to say that she made it home safe and happy yesterday. She stayed home about an hour and she was gone again to a friend's house...lol, the energy of the youth!
Well, things are complicated in my life, I guess in a good way though. Mr. A,the reason I call him that is he is an accountant, is really Mr. M-1. I have also been talking to Mr. M-2, he is an old friend from high school, he lives about 2 hours from me and wants to come see me. I have also met Mr. M-3, I must say of the three he is my favorite. We have so much common. On our first date, we talked like we have known each all of our lives. I know this is called dating, but wow, why do I almost feel guilty talking to 3 men? I know it's not cheating because I do not have an exclusive relationship with any of the three. I guess when you were married for 20 years, it's hard to get back in the groove.
You go have some fun young lady!!!!!
Lovely to hear from you
I'm wearing work clothes, can I still play in the sandbox? Rainy day here today, but somehow I feel not so gloomy.

Hi passenger and welcome. It's raining here over the pond too.....makes firmer sandcastles though!!!!!
Bar's open I think - I will have a gin sling - slurp.
Ummm, I'll have a margarita, please. Always seemed like a good, independent, fun girl drink.
I really could go for a black velvet.

Yep pretty bad here yesterday too....but the sun is shining today, (although it is bitterly cold), and my bl**dy car won't start so I can't get up to the horses for a ride!!!!!!!
I shall have to put my wet suit on and play in the sand box
Sun is shining on the east coast! We had horrible rain for about 4 days.
Any one play any good April Fool's jokes on any one today?
Hi All,
I am back home now after a very important business trip. And I am feeling pretty tired. I had 3 speeches to give in 3 days, and I guess they all went well, but the 3rd one seemed like the best one to me. Anyway, it was fun to observe the whole men and women hanging out together in a hotel scene. Actually had one man try to move in on me in the bar late at night and accidentally bumping his leg into mine. Poor guy, he must have been disappointed. Must admit though, I was complimented that a handsome (and I'm pretty sure younger) man was attracted to me. Not going there though!
Oh, and Saffie, no I didn't find the nice shawl. I did find some nice clothes, though, and I think I was looking pretty spiffy for all the events. But I had to take off the high heels every day when I came out of meetings. They just kill my feet! I had to buy some flipflops at the hotel to be comfortable.
