Just remember the advice is free, you don't need to take it!!<br />On a lighter note, have you ever had to put an insurance claim in for a submersible water pump, in a well, that got fried in a lightening storm? The insurance company thought I was nuts! Nothing else got fried!!!<br />Hope you have a good trip to California. <br />Carol Nye Carol Nyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826789819741489016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-35698409898679589852014-05-19T21:35:24.939-04:002014-05-19T21:35:24.939-04:00I grew up having a cabin on a lake.

I was a little girl then and just thought it was a little bit above a campout. In the years to come, we had a cabin with all the conveniences, but never a TV. After my dad died, Mother sold the cabin. I miss those times of communing with nature, listening to the wildlife and being away from all the hustle and bustle. Your pictures took me back to those days.

Walks will find her ZOOMING way ahead of us and then running back and find out where the heck we are and can't we walk faster. Or she'll be like a teenager and pretend like she doesn't even know us ... what people? THOSE people? I don't know those people ... I'm not with those people ... she makes us laugh so hard sometimes. Adds so much to our lives and puts everything in perspective at times ....<br /><br />Have a good trip ... travel safe and enjoy the week ... you are a blessing!45th Parallel Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09054316704528545846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-40810606282890124422014-05-19T14:18:10.426-04:002014-05-19T14:18:10.426-04:00Bonnie - I am so sorry this happened to your cabin...Bonnie - I am so sorry this happened to your cabin.

I would think that it would feel painful to have those you share with be unsupportive. You know that people mean well when they give advice, because that is the kind of person you are too. I'm sorry you have all the "crap" to deal with. I love your blog and website so much even though I don't usually post any comments. Thanks Bonnie!

Well meant or not. So get over your snit and offer support if you can and go do something else (quilt?) if you can't. This is a positive, polite group.

Has it not occurred to you that some of your "crazies" belong to that group too?<br /><br />None of the comments you received were meant to demean or disrespect you in any way. People who consider you a friend made helpful decisions to hopefully make your life better. It's what normal friends do.<br /><br />You don't seem to appreciate that your fans make it possible for you to afford your glorious home and getaway villa and all the toys you love to brag about. <br /><br />smh Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-11763953232765745952014-05-19T09:29:15.210-04:002014-05-19T09:29:15.210-04:00There are always people with an opinion out there....There are always people with an opinion out there.
