Criticial Mass #45 - Main Clay Discussion Thread

[Marilyn]

This is getting to be ridiculous!  NO posts in two days. Where is everyone ?

I have been working 11 hour days this week and it is all I can do to get the ANN posted before my nose falls onto the computer!!


Usually no one to talk to at midnight to 2:00 am here!!

Posted a recap from the Clay Rally last night.

[Marilyn]

My son Jay sent me this beautiful video of his wedding.

I watched it several times and needed tissues every time.

Marilyn ~ That was so sweet. Thanks for sharing it with us. I did spot you sitting on the front row. I know from the still photos I saw of you,that you looked smashing.

I'm glad today is Friday.  I have worked way too long and too hard this week so I am exhausted.  Since we are going to have rain most of the weekend, I'll take advantage of it and just be lazy.  The problem is that next week won't be much better because I left my desk full of work for Monday.

Guess I shouldn't complain too much because there are a lot of people that don't have a job.

Marilyn, going to go watch your video--that should perk me up.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

MARILYN -  That video is priceless!!  So sweet and touching.  I'm going to watch it again because in this troubled world  it is a gentle reminder of so many good people who share love and happiness. 

The video is so well done!!  May the bride and groom share a wonderful life. 

BARBARA and MARLENE -  Hope all is well.  Counting down the days until the Gala.  Got my plane reservations all set.  Looking forward to seeing Clay and the gathering of the Claymaniacs!  It has been way too long!

Wishing everyone could make it this year.  We can't be sure what's ahead!

Gwenn, thanks for saying my country has nice people and is beautiful~~I agree
Marilyn, what a beautiful video, how touching~~congrats to your family!

[Marilyn]

Thanks everyone for compliments on the video. Amy and Jay created a very special event for everyone. They are both so very thoughtful and caring of the people around them- that's why they make excellent teachers.

Have been out of commission for two days with vertigo. It was so bad that Chris and his wife Ria came yesterday afternoon and stayed until 4:00 today. It was really nice being pampered and taken care of. They even stripped my bed and washed the sheets, and Chris made it up for me this afternoon. It looks so inviting!! Ria cooked nice dinners, too- and pancakes for breakfast!!

Anyway, I am feeling much better tonight and so I came on here to say hi!!!

[mimi]

Marilyn~I'm so sorry to hear that your vertigo is acting up again. Hopefully by the time of the Gala it will be long gone. It is so good that you have a wonderful family that took such good care of you when you weren't feeling well.

Hope you are feeling much better,you will certainly be in my thoughts and prayers.

DROPPING BY TO SAY HELLO.  MY LIFE HAS BEEN TOTALLY NUTS THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.  WE JUST GOT BACK FROM QUEBEC ON SAT.  HAD A FLIGHT CANCELED SO I AM SO TIRED.  LONG AND BORING STORY.

BUT WE LOVED MONTREAL AND QUEBEC.  EVERYONE WE MET WAS SO HELPFUL AND KIND.  I REMEMBERED SOME OF MY FRENCH.  COULD READ AND UNDERSTAND MOST.  COULD UNDERSTAND ANNOUNCEMENTS, NOT EVERY WORD, BUT THE MAIN PARTS.  CONVERSATION--NO.  THE CITIES ARE SO CLEAN.  WE FELT JUST LIKE WE WERE IN EUROPE IN QUEBEC CITY.  WALKED AND WALKED AND WALKED.  MY LEGS ARE STILL SORE.  IT WAS A GREAT TRIP.

BEEN KEEPING UP WITH THINGS HERE AS BEST I COULD.  CLAY SURE IS WORKING HARD.  REMINDS ME OF HOW HARD HE WORKED IN THE BEGINNING OF HIS SINGING CAREER.      FOR SOME REASON, IT HURTS TO WATCH IT.  I MISS HIM.  US AS A GROUP.  THE FUN.  I SURE WANT HIM TO WIN.  I DID SEE THAT HE DID SOME KIND OF FUND RAISER WHERE HE BROUGHT PARKER.  DIDN'T SEE ANY PIX, BUT WOULD LOVE TO.

A VERY BUSY WEEK AHEAD.  TURNING THE BIG 65.  OFFICIALLY ON MEDICARE.  CANNOT BELIEVE IT.

GLAD PEOPLE SEEM TO BE OK AND DOING WELL.

GWENN
