Hi Gail-Never been to anything like this before but it might be lots of fun. Think I could hear it from cyberspace. I hope you are having a great day. I was up for 25 hrs straight so I just awoke. At least that is what I think I am. I think it 's a good idea that these computers don't have two way mirrors in them. Not too pretty right now. Anyway, it was nice chatting with you and I'll talk to you again

Hi Gayle-I was over earlier and wrote a different comment than this one but I clicked over top of the window it was on and lost it so this will be slightly different one. Thank you for your concern. Yes I'm OK. A lot to do and I get lost in the rain. I see my unknowing partner in crime showed up as well. That's too funny. I love your comment to both of us on Gary's post. That was too funny.

I'm leaving you the link to it as I made a comment back to both Gary, Susan and you. I hope you like it. Susan is right about Gary being the real hooligan here. He does it with all the ladies with his unassuming charm and genuine caring. No wonder we all like his posts and his lucky tub. I hope you've had a good day. Here is the link to Gary's lucky tub blog where I left that last comment.

I also wrote a long blog myself tonite. Longer than I intended but that happens with me. Look forward to chatting with you again. :-) See wasn't I a well behaved lady.

Gail-I wish I was in Fla right now. it would be so much fun. That play sounds like it would be terrific. I hope you read this before you spend any money on a ticket. I'll shoot you an e-mail as well depending on where you look first when you get back. If I ever do get to Fla I'll have to look you up for sure. Maybe we'll have a real live encounter with all our fun group. I hope I don't get the reputation for littering all over everybodys turf and all my cyber friends send me to detention. If I have to go you all better come too. Then we'd we get in trouble in dention as well and they'd send us to juvenile hall, YIKES! 

I am exuberant and mischievious(my middle name but I also have another side when people really touch my heart. Below is a comment on made on Gary's cannonball blog. That is my nickname for Gary. I gave him that title from something I read in one of his blogs

Hi Coach-One word comes to mind when I think of what kind of impact you've already have left on my life "HUGE" You'll truly never completely understand or know just what finding you in the rain has done for my life. That is a mystery I have to keep for now. But it is one, I wish I could share. Maybe someday I'll be able to. I'd really like to but just not now. Too afraid too.(I know, I probably just sent you in another direction just when you thought you had me figured out, Shall I bring the tylenol for you?). Didn't do it on purpose though. It's just what your blogs bring to mind at the time. As you know by know ,I'm a deep thinker along with the wild devilish ways thrown in to make life here with you and all my friends fun.   

You probably have no idea of the huge impact you have on other people's lives with your very special and unique way you look at life and then you generously share much of it with all of us here in the rain I, for one am very glad you aren't a traditional thinker. I think that is part of what makes you so very special. I've never met anyone quite like you before. You should be very proud of the positive impact you have on others. I know it's a choice you make and have made probably all your life. They say "life is a gift that God gave you, but what you do with that life is your gift to him" As the saying goes "Well done good and faithful servant" I will say that to you now(I'll just substite servant with friend)and "God will say it you MANY, MANY,MANY years from now. You are like a cool breeze on a hot day. "REFRESHING"

Bless you coach-Love ya like a mentor and a big teddy bear of a brother.(((((((( :-) )))))) That's a big bear hug for my 12 yr old younger brother who has more wisdom than most grownups.  :-))

This is his reponse to me Pat: What a treat and blessing your commenting is to me. YOU, my friend, always have an impact on me. Glad some of my scribbles to you mean to me.

This lady(Rebecca) commented to Gary after she read my comment and this is what she had to say.

WOW!  I'm speechless after having read Pat Preston's comments...what a tribute indeed! You should be so touched...truly.... and his response to her was  Pat's check is in the mail. She is amazing. I will make her my publicist I think. :)

So as you can see while I am mischievous and exuberant I also have a deep thinking side an you can see from last night blogs as well as the comment above I made to Gary. You all are very special to me and people that I am truly blessed and privileged to know each of you and never would have if it weren't for joining this network. God truly does work in mysterious ways and this social media network still really blows me away. I just really hope I never get so carried away with my long comments or mischief that it drives any of my friends away. I know people's time is valuable and I do my best to respect that, but the rapport and real connection I feel makes it hard sometimes to control my exhuberant and mischievious self so forgive me if I've done this or have done it here with this comment.

Now below is a little exchange between Gary and I in reference to the ? who asked Susan of whether he really called us hooligans and what I did to start it(As you can see he did call us hooligans)Looks like he got the tag from one of Susan's friends(from what she wrote above)

Susan M.-I'm hijacking Gary's post again. You are in your happy,happy place today, so I think that is very lucky cause I can see that beautiful smile of yours all the way to Va. You didn't lose that happy feeling already, did ya? If so, Gary is very good at making us all feel very happy to be in this place & lucky to call him a friend. :-)

Gary-No fines for littering please. I just wanted to make sure you saw this. He did it. YIPPEE! Check it out.   http://activerain.com/blogsview/774618/The-Answer-Lies-Within-Us

OK, I'm leaving. :-)

Pat, I am still in my happy place, have no fear!  I was actually using "getting lucky" as a play on words for, well you know, "getting lucky"!!  Sorry, I will retire to my corner and behave myself. xxoo

Susan-No need to do that. You're too much fun to retire(come back and play) and besides it more fun when we cause mischief and mayhem especially here. Although I may have to retire to my corner or else I might get a major fine for littering in Gary's turf. Help me! Keep him in that happy place will you. I got away with hijacking once but he might send me packing, cause I'm doing it again. Listen to Susan now, Gary. :-)))

 This what Gary had to say to this  Pat: Susan's devious ways are wearing off on you. I'll have to try and keep you two apart

 Pat: See, thanks to Susan you've turned into a hooligan. And you used to be so sweet. Until Susan came along you probably never heard of the word hijack

Gary-You mean I'm not sweet anymore. :-( Don't blame it on sweet Susan-You told me about hijacking. You just told me she does it. Besides I think she's very good company.

 Pat: I never get away with anything with your memory. You can work in one of those courtrooms WITHOUT those recorder machines. Boy you are good. But you are still sweet. If you hang around Susan too closely you will get the hooligan tag. It's a given.

Gail- Please forgive your exuberant, mischievious, deep thinker friend for her very long comment to you. Since I started this that dratted headache is back. So I'll close and talk to you soon. I hope you've had a wonderful day. I got to go do outside the rain activities as well as enjoy some of the beautiful day outside. Great day for photo ops. Know just where I'm going first. See ya :-)

Hey Gail-I'm doing a little hijacking for a minute. Gary is definitely a charming player but he does it in such an unassuming way or maybe it isn't so unassuming and he does knows how to make it look that way. He definitely does have a way with the ladies. MEN! Can't live with them, Can't live without them.  BTW-Gary I hope you come back and read that ya little charming rascal you lol. 

Gail-How was the play? I hopw your weekend is a good one.
