I'm fairly sure this is one of Wagdy's - I remember seeing it ages ago.

Good Maen Ian, seems your up late. I believe it is Wagdy's also.
I have had two major shocks this morning, before coffee, so I am on a morning high and cannot sit still--except to feed my addiction.

First scare occurred at 6:30am, when I turned over and did not see my baby in her crib--major panic attack. Then as my brain started making their connection I remembered she went to her grandparents yesterday and they did not return her. I was able to make the coffee that I did not set last night More...

Hello Ian - it certainly looks like one of Wagdy's photos, doesn't it.

Hi Anne, I think so.
Karen, I'm just about to call it a day (or night in my case). Do you sometimes feel that you have a jigaddiction?
G'night all.

Ian I hope you have good dreams. According to my husband I dreamed of Big Bird last night because when he left this morning I asked if Big Bird was here yet. Yes, I talk in my sleep.

I keep telling myself not to do these puzzles late at night, but I don't listen. Still, even with bleary eyes the textures in this one were great.

Which piece of jewelry do we want??? Better yet where is the store???

Too much bling for me. How would you make a decision?!!

ntd - you might get the jewelry for a good price, but getting to the store is costly - I believe it's in Cairo.

Yes, I am sure it is one of Wagdy's...I remember thinking if I ever get to Cairo and I have hit the jackpot, I will visit that store. Oh, that puzzle did make me dizzy.......

Do you think Wagdy is into jewerly sales?

Maen all, I'm back again (Yer can't keep a good man down - or a bad one, come to think of it)
Karen, I didn't have dreams, good or otherwise. These are frosty nights here and my special delight is to pile on the bedclothes and snuggle down into a warm, tight ball. That way, the night passes More...

This looks like an interesting puzzle.

Karen, I'm sure you were scared out of your wits! Not sure the coffee will calm your nerves, but there is nothing better than a good cuppa coffee when awakening!

Well, that was fun...not as hard as I thought it would be. Thought it would be hard on the eyes, so much texture and color.

Great puzzle, but I wonder what is is.

Gold.Gold.Gold.
I think many of You remember this picture when I offered it in last Motherday as a gift to all Mothers and Grandmothers on my page.
It is from a Gold shop in Cairo .

Dear KAREN.
I am not into Jewerly sales ,but I was into another Gold Buisness .It is the Black Gold buisness(Oil ).Iam graduated as a Petroleum Engineer,and I worked as a General Manager of British/American Oil services Company till I retired many years ago.
Have a nice Day,

IAN..
All my respect to you and your thoughts and Advices.
Many thanks.

Wagdy, thanks.

Ian I am glad you had a good nights sleep. As for dreams I love the good ones, my dreams I had while I was pregnant were horrible. Most would dream of gorgeous hunks, me, I dream of Big Bird. I could understand if we watched Sesame Street or even had any of their books. Our theme is Pooh bear.

Big Red I am so happy to see you on. I really prefer to wake-up slowly. Being shocked awake is not fun.
Anyway, alls right with our world now, Grandma and Grandpa returned Girlie-girl right after Daddy came home and we all enjoyed a good nap this afternoon. Now Daddy and the girl are out in the game room playing pool and listening to the Beach Boys.

Wagdy, I believe gold and oil could be put into the same category. Your job sounds really exciting. Though in my mind I did not picture you old enough to be retired.

When I first started reading comments, I pictured all of to be my age, now I am finding out most are retired--I did not call you old--that must be a wonderful feeling to be retired.

Karen, retirement has its good points and its bad points. Retirement usually signals the beginning of the ageing process, and that can be quite ugly. On the other hand, with retirement comes the freedom to do what you want when you want. While it is important to plan your finances to give you More...

Ian, I said 'Amen'. (Chuckling)
I have a great life--though not perfect--I cannot think of anything I would want to change right now. We are remodeling an 18th century farm house, which I believe one day we will finish, I have a wonderful husband and a perfect daughter. And I laugh daily. I am More...

Well, it is time for me to go off to la la land.
Hope you all have a great day/evening, and I cannot wait to chat with you tomorrow.

Wagdy, of course I recognise your Mother's day offering. There's my drool on the corner! Ian, I'm not too far behind you. Five years and counting!
