eileenleyva We met in school while waiting to fetch our daughters from Philippine Science High School. Fifteen years of friendship now. She is very sincere. I am blessed.

We recently lost a sister-in-law and her husband has given me a lot of wool that Kerry had stashed away. Kerry was a great knitter but in later years, her eyesight deteriorated so much that she had to give up knitting. I have...

eileenleyva @JudyEv Oh yes! Sorry, I forgot. Your seasons down under are opposite from the others. That's all right, my friend from Australia gave me a lecture on that several years ago. And I wouldn't believe him. Ha ha. I deserve that. Hope you can make plenty for...

I was so tired last night I went to bed at 7:30. I just could not stay up any longer. It is not that I work so hard, though. More like there is never an end to the things I need to work on. It also could have been the quick lap I...

eileenleyva English is a beautiful language. Shakespeare even romanticized the language in verses. I do not know who made the contractions that gave us good-bye but I'm fine with it. It's the o'clock that I feel a bit crazy trying to decipher how that happened till I...

eileenleyva I know the pronunciation is different in German, so I must hear how that is said. My daughter is studying the language and she pronounced it for me. Added that technically, it translates to 'I'll see you again.'

eileenleyva I enjoy bidding someone 'tata' sometimes. Sounds like an impish way of getting rid of someone. But I do that only when I am either naughty or angry. Good-bye is always preferred.
