Sorry for disappearing for a few weeks...health issues again. Am trying some new treatments and fighting off the illusive lung bug that just won't die. I'll be doing a new combined May-June all review thread after this visit is completed.
Hope all Ripkanistas are well and welcoming Summer. Yea! It is cool and cloudy currently in SoCal, just how I like it. We've even had a few raindrops! And I've finally made the huge decision to cover the entire front yard (except for gardens) with brown mulch after letting the overly-thirsty lawn die a few years ago. Just makes more sense IMHO. "May gray" and "June gloom" are this Midwesterner's favorite time of the year.
Here's the round-up this visit: Saturday-- 4-5AM Eastern Standard Time (1-3AM Pacific Standard Time); 5-6PM EST (2-3PM PST); 10PM-Midnight EST (7-9PM PST); Sunday 2-3AM EST (Saturday 11PM-Midnight PST).
Just what we all need right now: some Judith Ripka retail therapy. 
I'm in! Please share what is happening with you, if you like... thanks~Peach
