<img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />    <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />  I like grits. I eat mine with a spoon.
 
 See what I mean?   <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />  She thinks it's breakfast cereal.
 
 I eat mine with a fork, how about you Lisa?
 
 Pep, don't you remember when I told you..."put salt &  pepper & butter on them"...  <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Bye to my southern gal pals...
 I am going to take two lovely  14 year-old chickies  to see the Harry Potter movie.
 
 And maybe, afterward,  we'll pull into the drive through grits restaurant and have grits a'la mode.

Pepperband:
 I know this thread is a couple days old (things don't drop off the map nearly this fast where I usually hang out) but I wanted to add my own gold star to your rapidly filling report card.
 
 You consistently give the best, most thought-provoking advice on any of the boards here.
 
 Having lost my own mom two weeks before Christmas and two months before my daughter was born this year, I know how those weird moments of grief can catch you unawares and steal your breath away.  I get knocked on my butt on a regular basis.  My inner child had a hellacious tantrum on Mothers Day, at church, no less.
 
 But I'm also caught unawares by the little "love notes" God places in the circumstances of my life--little odd "coincidences" that show me He is thinking of me, knows my pain, and cares for me.  I pray that you see the same.

 Thanks ... I think this  may help me stay awake to the blessings.

This thread was flowing so well after the initial praises to Pep, that I didn't want to interupt it with more.  But seeing it morphed into "gritty" talk - I eat mine with a little butter and with a fork - I guess it's time I also added my admiration to a wise lady.
 Thanks, Pep, for being you.

Well, I felt silly to come out of lurkdome to bump up this thread, but since WAT did it, I wanted to share my admiration for Pep also.  (thanks WAT  <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />  )
 I read through this thread last night, and I'm so glad I did.  The discussion on this thread is what I needed right now...   having a hard time with some things....   <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />   and some very wise thoughts are expressed here.
 
 Pep...  Orchid knows she's my adopted big Sis.  Whether you know it or not...  you are too.  You don't know how much I lurk and admire your advice and strength.
 
 and so many others...
 
 Thank you all.   <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
