I coughing, sneezing, sinus, headache. I told my friend I would feel better if they took my head off! ;D It was a gift from my husband. I like Wullie's better, lol. I still feel sick, but at least I can concentrate tonight.

Sometimes I wonder about you....try a Hot Toddy...it,ll clear your sinuses...the way i make a Hot Toddy is...2 parts Scotch whisky..in a mug...add 1 tablespoon clear honey...top up with boiling water...allow to cool a little...then drink....guaranteed to warm the cockles o. yer hert...
I make no excuses,and no apologies....but i like a good Malt,

Absolutely LOVE these..........some one loves Ewe!!!  :D

They remind me so much of the work of Maude Lewis, a deceased local artist who's work now fetches $$$. She lived an impoverished life, crippled. The few dollars she charged while she was alive kept food on the table and bought her more art supplies.

Wullie, there's a herd of Highland cattle less than 1/2 hr drive from me. I've always wanted to get out of the jeep, climb over the fence and HUG them........just not sure the sentiment would be returned in kind.  :D

I,m sure if you asked the Farmer nicely...and perhaps fluttered your eye lashes...or became a damsel in mock distress...he would oblige you....just make sure his missus ain,t around when you do.... ;D
