Happy Birthday America

Hello everyone,

Watched the Boston Pops on television last night and thought about what I was doing 43years ago, giving birth to my middle child, and what a firecracker he was then and now. To celebrate the holiday we enjoyed a watermelon sweet and juicy, what a treat with prices escalating each day. Wondering if we will have watermelon next year for the holiday. Caboose

Hello

Checking in once again with hopes of seeing lots of post. Nope none! Who is reading what or is everyone busy with other projects. At the monent I have finished a quilt I started three years ago, infact I am using it on the bed. Light weight for summer,crazy bright colors, no padding just front done with some old material I matched with other squares. My sewing is not like the professionals but I like the thought it is done.

Hello everyone

Sometimes I feel so sorry for my computer I am such a (cluts, correct spelling?) on here. Today it took me almost 30 minutes to figure out just what I was doing wrong to get back into Essencia Island. Well, finally I made it, thank goodness for me that I am persistent with my wants…LOL…Now that all new bees know I am a fun person who can laugh at herself I want to say HELLO and hope to keep up with you. Knowing my nickname is Caboose will give you another clue to my mentality. Good food pictures make me hungry and where is a wild looking man to help me on the camel, heck I have problems walking and chewing gum at the same time. On a more serious note, keep in mind I am opinionated with 64 years of creating thought not just for me but for friends and family too. Lets keep the good times rolling and read to learn have fun and discuss issues.

Introduction

I am Carole, better known here as Caboose for the reason that I am the last to finish a book. Actually, most of the time I like being last; I do voice my opinions and hope I never offend anyone, and always open for discussion on my ideas. I am 64 years old, had a heart attack 20 years ago followed by a coma for 16 days, bilateral amputee below the knees. I returned to school after the coma to learn how to read, write and do simple math. Please do not feel sorry for me because I do not feel sorry for myself. Three children all grown, a dog and cat and have lived with the same man for 40 plus years. Came to Illinois fourteen years ago from Pasadena, California where I was born. I do have a few bad days now and then, but most of the time I stay busy with household chores, friends and family.

A handsome man

Hello everyone,

I spent some time this morning looking for a handsome man to join us on the island, but my knowledge of the Internet without a doubt is bad. I even had a name picked out for him. Oh well, you can’t say I did not try to have just a little fun ...LOL...

Fun

Hello, Oh Marylyn, I have been complaining about it being cold here in Illinois, no more complains from my mouth now that I see you and hubby, I feel warm as a bug in a rug. Hello, Gerry, good to see you dropping in to say "Hi". Who do you think will win the Super bowl, and will you watch the game? Hi Ellen, when we party on the Island we just say what ever comes to mind, and lots of times my mind over reacts...LOL...Hi
Toby have missed seeing you, thanks for food I love food any kind of food as long as it taste good. Candy how have you been long time no see. OK everyone hope to see the line busy with notes in the morning. Good night!
