Good AM all. More of the s word today. I better learn to like it because it will be followed by more and more :-)

I voted today. Have you? http://fracturedeye.com/denise/denisehomepg.html

With the power out for almost a week (back to normal now) I am not ready for Christmas; no tree yet, haven't done any cards, and still gift shopping to do. It will be a busy but fun weekend.

Good Morning Denise!
I haven't gotten much done yet either. No tree. No cards. Can I say I was with you? Will my kids believe that??LOL
Thanks for posting the link on your webpage. I look at your pics all the time. I don't think I ever even mentioned that. I'm sorry. But, THANK YOU!

Good Morning Everyone!!

Good Morning Debbie and PS and all! All the kids have been up since just past 5am...

It's Quinn's last day today. I want to be in that class, nothing but goodies to eat today! We haven't been hit with the snow yet...

Good morning all. My problem for today can be best shown graphically.

GOOD MORNING GANG!!!!!!!! I CAN SAY GANG. I GUESS THAT'S ALRIGHT.........

Cecil, I love your graph and your little phrase inside it.........

PS I VOTED AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.....

Good morning kids. Cecil, it's going to be a fun ride home tonight. Being a Friday, heavy snow from noon till 8:00, WE ARE DEAD MEAT my friend.
All we need is one fender-bender and it will come to a total stop. I'm not in a very good mood.

morning PATRICK, Cecil, Eileen, PegiSue, Denise, and all BT'ers to follow!!

Cecil, sorry bout that. Going to be 60's here today. You can spit in my reg also
It will be in the teens this weekend though. So, I'll fit right in, in a couple of days.

Eileen, my daughter's last day also. she is ready! Yesterday, she mentioned to a couple of classmates (they were talking about interesting facts) that a polar bear's hair is actually translucent. Well, none of them knew that and this includes the teacher. This is a science teacher. Amazing that none of them gave her the benefit of the doubt. So, today she is bringing literature with her. There will be a polar bear lesson today in her class, hehe

Denise, I didn't know you were up there also with the power outages. So sorry to hear it. I would be a mess without electricity. I do have a wood stove, so we could sleep downstairs. I would not be a happy camper though.

Hope you all have a great Friday!!

Morning Jerry, did you sign up for the Noodling classes yet?

It is being held at the same campus as the Yodeling class.....hehe

Denise, I hope you can get out of work early.

Well Jerry, I got here at 5:00 this morning and I'll take an hour of vacation so I can leave at 12:30. No grid lock for me. I already had one two hour commute this week, I do not need a four hour one this afternoon.

Cecil......here is the BIG picture


LaDonna

Someone forgot to tell Old Man Winter that winter doesn't officially start till Sunday! Cecil, Tom, Jerry, LaDonna, Denise, and all else up there, I would stay home today if possible, be safe, if you have to go in, leave at noon time. No one will out with all what you guys are going to get hit with. Our area is going to get it too, but not as bad, I am just hoping they de-ice my plane on Saturday so I can get to see Tiffany. I am heading south! Well, I am going to give it a college try anyway, I know Gregg will get me to the airport, not sure about the plane leaving, though yet... but going to think positive, hope to be out of here before the worse hits us.

Oh, Happy Friday to all of you. Last night of work here for me till the 29th! WooHoo!

Hmmm, lots of your kids are done today with school, Brandon has school till the 23rd. What's up with that? His B'ball coach told him they will know who the "5" players will be and will let them know on Monday. We will see, I so hope he is one of the "5". He really wants it. But, you know how school coaches are, they don't always make sense in what they do. Learned that with my other two.

Krispi, I thought you were Linda posting and I'm reading how it's gonna be in the 60's today and the teens this weekend...WHAT?? What weather channel is she watching? But I was getting kinda happy about the cold weather. Then I was reading about Linda's daughter at school and got totally confused!!!!! Pardon me, I was having a moment, but it has passed. I'm back now and I get it!

All of you up North, please be careful and get home safe and stay warm. I need all of you

PS,

Remember, stock up on your hot cocoa and whipped cream, we are going to need it this week-end, oh and food too. Seems to be one big nasty storm, let's all go outside and blow real hard and blow that thing away from the NE, O.K?

hersey's syrup, choc. sprinkles, coffee cans

well.....driving in this am....it seems they have changed my forcast a bit. now they are saying 1"-3" today and an additional 4"-6" tonight They still aren't predicting totals for Sunday.....they just keep saying "BIG"

LaDonna

Morning Everyone

All up north.....please play it safe & leave work early! We're going to get "it" too

Debbie - hope all goes well with your flight tomorrow & getting to see Tiffany.

Denise - yikes- power out for almost a week - ouch! Glad you've got it back now.

Krispi - very interesting!

Be safe everyone.....will be checking in later

Hugs to ya'll

It seems that it's going to be a one two punch?

Good Morning everyone!

It's just starting to snow lightly here now. School is closed. Amanda is supposed to have a final this morning...I hope she has it and is able to come home today before it gets bad.

I plan to bake and clean. I did a bunch of wrapping last night. I need to shop a little for last minute gifts as well as food for Christmas dinner.

wool socks

Guess I'm not shopping today...baking, cleaning is good..I just hope Amanda can get home...I'm with Debbie, outside blowing the snow away! Huff, Puff, Huff, Puff...

Jerry, I came in to work early figuring I will be running out the door early too. I do NOT like s**w. I laughed as I was leaving this AM though. My husband had made a bunch of snow balls and lined them up on the porch railing. Our boxers love to chase them. He's ready for them . . .

Oh oh, Donna said the "BAD" word.

Krisp, turtle fur socks are as warm or warmer and a whole lot softer - ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Judy - Freddie, what kind of weather are they calling for near Shinyc***?

I want a dog!

Ooooops, Denise said the bad word too

Jerry, do you have an extra case of asterisks? We might need them this weekend.

I want a cookie - no sprinkles on mine tho

Good morning everyone!
I had a very foggy ride to work this morning.
PS, No that wasn't me posting about 60 degree weather today. Or were you talking about another Linda?
Ter and I have another Christmas party to go to tonight. This one is always fun. It's at his boss's home and they know how to put on a party. Lots of great food, their family (moms, dads, aunts, uncles and everyone in between), Latin music and salsa dancing. I'm going to wear my dancing shoes tonight (bare feet).

Denise, I hope you get your power back soon and enjoy the busy fun weekend ahead of you.
PegiSue, I voted!!!
Eileen, Hugs to Quinn on his last day of school this year.
Cecil, Take care driving today.
PATRICK, Yes you can say GANG.
Jerry, Bring extra water, beer, coffee, snacks, mittens, and of course your coffee can, on your drive home tonight.
LaDonna, Judy & Debbie, stay warm!!
Krispi, Wool Socks for sure.
Hope I didn't miss anyone.

Tom, You snuck in there whil I was yammering. Morning!

That pic shows one of the main reasons I gave up bowling. Some things should not be done, with others, in public places. Well, that and the whole rental shoe thing. Beer frames were fun - I think.

I was going to send in some Rum Balls to school instead of cookies...

Decided to keep those balls instead...

OH, I is a'skeerd

Good morning all! You are all way too funny already!

To all my Northern friends - be safe during the days ahead! My family is all in Connecticut and Rhode Island, so I feel for all of you.

Chaos goes into the groomer at 11, so he'll be pretty for Christmas. We went to the vet's on Wednesday and he's 99 lbs, so I need to put him on reduced calorie food for a while!

Then my day is cleaning. UGH! Maybe I'll start to get that durn tree up, too. Tonight is the preschool's Christmas play.

I just need to step away from this computer and get stuff done!

lol it may come to that Krispi.. I was looking at this one .. not really sure though,..
http://www.thesalmons.org/lynn/salmonwasabi.html

haha, it would be a good day at school!! save some for the VP, hehe

Freddie, easy peasy.

Ingredients:
4 6oz) salmon steaks
salt and pepper
1 tbsp maple syrup or clear honey
1 tbsp fresh chopped mint
juice of 1 lime

For the pesto:
touch of olive oil
50g / 2oz Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tbsp pine kernels
3 cloves garlic


1. In a shallow dish, combine seasoning, syrup or honey, mint and the juice from half the lime. Add the salmon and marinade for 10-15 minutes.

2. Pre heat the grill to a high heat. Lift salmon from marinade allowing excess to drip off and grill for approximately 5-8 minutes depending on thickness of salmon. Brush the salmon occasionally with the marinade.

3. To make the pesto, put all the ingredients into a food processor and pound into a paste.

Throw away salmon, save pesto for future use.

Krispi! Which one is mine?


****8900****

Linda? which fax sheet?

I need to get to work...hmm, Tom, I think I still have that picture of you...oh, well, neva mind....

I'm having a moment here after being on that other thread, and have nothing funny to say. I feel like I don't fit in right now...

But I have to thank Brian and Denise for the links today!!!

And throw in an OMG to Gail and Chaos @ 99lbs!!

I am going to Momma's today to get her Christmas tree and take her shopping some more. Maybe she'll actually look at something and say "OH, I LOVE THAT!" which would make my life much easier! If she doesn't, she's getting a bowling glitter polisher for Christmas...wonder if he does yardwork?? She needs that!!LOL

Well, my friends, I'm gonna say I'm going to get ready now to go, but I'll still be sitting here, I know I will. I hate when I have to leave!!

P.S., if you don't fit in, none of us do either. Kinda like the island of misfit toys here.

I MUST GET TO WORK. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK, THE OTHER FOUR LETTER WORD. Soap, I need to wash my mouth out with soap.

Um, P.S., I am available for hire after the 26th.................

That dogsnow video is awesome. Thanks Gail.

Shoot, I was leaving, see, I can't do it...I'm always late cause I'm on here!!!!LOL
At least Momma understands that!!!!!!

I should call her, maybe she's not up yet Then I can stay longer

that reminds me, the lab puppy I rescued is in Ohio now at a shelter. I miss her. she was amazingly sweet. Never cried, didn't tear up anything. Oh well, she will make some kid happy for Christmas, I hope

Major, I am not wrecked anymore?

oh, morning all!

I'm gonna watch these today...and the puppy cam...

http://www.maineharbors.com/camindex.htm

Our mountains in Big Bear, a couple of hours from us got the most snow they've had in 30 years...makes me think we need to pull out the planks!

http://www.snowsummit.com/snow-summit-live-web-cams.php#

http://www.bigbearshores.com/webcam.htm

Krispi, the pics I posted that you said looked like clouds? That's this!

OK, all you puppy cam addicts, here is an otter cam...

haha, Tink...I think we are on the same wave length...hehe

it is CAM day...hehe

Okay, now I want an otter and I REALLY want to go skiing!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Otters, they are sooo cute.

I don't ski. I am REALLY, REALLY opposed to bodily injury.

I WILL sit in the ski lounge, by the crackling fire, and wait, with a drink, and watch all the guys, I mean skiiers....hehe

Dogs and otters - great vids. We fell in love with the Ezels on Bonaire. Particularly the orphans and young ones at the sanctuary. The small farm/ranch next to us outside Fort Worth just got a donkey (ezel) and the dogs love him. They give each other kisses through the fence. I will get pics next week when I am back in TX. However, come spring will get two young ezels for our own place to raise as pets and keep the dogs (and even the cats) further entertained. Horses will be next. This place might better be called a zoo! Can't have too many animals just like Ms. Marcos and her shoes long ago!!! Pics in the next week or so.

Can you feel it's just going to be one of those days!!!!!!!

WHOO-HOOO!!!

Major?

I have to practice my dancing skills for tonight's party. Thanks BH!!

Ya'll....it's killing me....sitting here looking at youtubes of Daytona, Sturgis, Roadtrips.....come on spring...cause watching and working.

Dang S**W!! Amanda finished her last final, but isn't coming home until at least tonight...possible tomorrow because of the "s" word!!! I want her HOME!!

EVERYTHING is closed here...my son is even on his way home from work.

Good morning everyone! Tink , YGM

Cynde sent this little guy to me last year and he makes me laugh everytime I look at him!

Chuck, stop teasing yourself, or not.

Krisp, what? LOL, I like the changes you did to your profile

Staying in the back of the shop away from windows today. No s**w yet, but the clouds are racing and the sky keeps getting darker. This is gonna be another fun weekend. OH JOY WREN!!!

hehe, YGM

I did chage a few things...

Krisp, that so ain't right.

Wow - you guys are a riot today.

Tom, Jerry, Cecil, LaDonna, Denise, Eileen,(all you NE'ers) etc - it's a blizzard here too! The sn*w was drifted halfway up my door this morning, I had to really PUSH it to get it open. Josie (puppy) stepped out and sunk to her belly - looked at me like WTF??? and then bounded after the Jingle-man. It was too cute. It sounds like we have the same forecast. Sn*w tonight and tomorrow, more Sunday/Mon/Tues... YIPPEE SKIPPEE

Keep the laughs coming guys... I need them and a new coffee can.

I'm going back under my desk now, because no one is showing up but they aren't calling to cancel either.

Good Afternoon everyone! It's bad bad bad outside now. I am so glad I picked Quinn up at noon. We are a 3 min drive, but it is slick and we have white out conditions. They are sending teachers who live far away home. The parking lot is going to be a disaster come home time, I hope no one gets hurt.

Stay safe everyone.

I DON'T NO ABOUT YOU, BUT RIGHT NOW WE ARE AT A BALMY 64 DEGREES. BRING ON THE COLD. I NEED IT I WANT IT. WHERE THE HE!! IS IT AT..............

My son Tim is home on leave. He and some friends went up to Killington, VT on Tuesday. They were going to attempt coming home today, but I don't think that is going to happen. He called me last night. I said, "Hey man, Christmas is not until Thursday. That is why God invented beer. Have a great time." As I said this to him, I got off the phone and got very misty. Chances are real good that Tim will be spending next Christmas somewhere far far away that is not a good place.

Ohhhhhhhh!!! I am so flusterd!!
My little blog spot (link is on my profile) has been flagged for Objectionable Content. What is so objectionable about teddy bears?
Plus I don't see where I can get answers on how to fix this.

Linda, beheaded Teddy bears...not a pretty sight...


OK, sorry, too weird....

I bit its head off.

I am going in circles trying to find a phone number or a direct e-mail to their help desk to resolve the problem.
Right now I can't update the blog.

Jim...we are thankful and proud of both you and Tim...been a little misty myself reading the other threads...hot weather in Georgia..turn that s**w around and send it down here... and keep voting...

Beck-ee, sending big warm hugs at ya and your furkids.

Jim, Tim is in a beautiful area of our state. I hope he and his buds stay up on that hill, during this little storm. Plenty to do right up there.

FYI, I never got into skiing unless, the Mahogany Runs (bars) count

Linda, WTH?!?! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, maybe you shouldn't have mentioned "pencil toppers" on the blog. I don't have a clue why anyone would tag it.

Krisp, saw that leg was raised

Just went outside - it's starting again Think one of our neighbors might think I don't like him. But really, I was yelling "YOU S***!!!" at the s**w.

Turtles

ever visited the William Thorton in BVI, Major?
AKA: Willy T's

Shotski-iiiiiiii

thats the only skiing I participate in, hehe

(Message edited by kristi_tn on December 19, 2008)

Hey everyone. Been pouring buckets and buckets of rain here all day so far, better than the white stuff for sure. Not looking forward to later when it changes as temps drop. I got lots of work tonight so I can go tomorrow to Tiffany's, so it better not do anything till after I work, think it will hold off till 10:30 tonight? Nope, I didn't think so. Argh!

Donna, hopefully, Amanda will get home by tonight, if not early tomorrow.

Becky, that just ain't right getting drifts halfway up your front door!

Everyone, go home and stay safe up North. It's a coming and I guess we all didn't blow hard enough to make it go the other way. Darn!

Linda, maybe it's the same person leaving the lovely comments in Brickfish?? If your blog is flagged, I think the "Bloggettes" check it out and it will get straightened out. Maybe I should go check mine out....
Was it flagged for cruelty or nudity???LOL

Well, I'm supposed to be cleaning, but who can resist checking up on all you s**w bunnies.

I should be vacuuming while Chaos is out of the house, but I have a sleeping 3 yr old on my couch! I stopped at the pre-school to drop off some supplies, and Alex wasn't feeling well so I brought her home with me. Any excuse not to clean! I gave her some Motrin, we walked to the mailbox, I carried her back and deposited her on the couch and she curled up in a little ball and went to sleep. Poor baby is having a hard time shaking this cold. They're off for the next 2 weeks, so hopefully she'll get plenty of R&R over that time.

Big Bear Mountain! John and I spent our first Christmas together in a little cabin there. 1975! We were living in San Diego, and were fighting about where to go for Christmas, him to Florida, me to Connecticut, and they added another 3 month sonar school for him. So we had to stay put and have a little Christmas just for us. We found this neat place with little individual rustic cabins and stayed for 3 or 4 nights. We went horse back riding in the s**w on Christmas Day, got him on s**w skis for the first time! Went tubing! Lots of good memories.

Stay safe guys and gals up in the white world. I wish you all plenty of power in the coming days!

Baby it's coooold outside! Kidlets are sleeping, so you know what I did, went out and shovelled a layer of snow off the driveway, so that it's not too bad for the 2nd shovel tonight.

Now for a glass of wine...

Where did Jerry go??????

He might have went out sledding!!

Poor little Alex! She'll be better soon. A little Motrin, sleep, tender loving care and NO SCHOOL!

Get better soon Alex!

YAY...guess what is back!!


now to get Eden back!!

oh, sorry...feel better Alex!! and check out the cams when you do!!

hehe

Cecil, did you make it?

Willamette Valley Oregon doesn't generally get much snow, if any.

Here's what it looks like today!





Yes, Bob drove to work.

Linda, I checked and don't know what YOU can do... But it does say that "Blogger" checks things that are flagged. So, I think, unless they are offended by your nekked bears, that they will straighten it out.

As a famous philosopher once said, let it snow, let it snow.... I'm home and warm and have electricity...right now. I pity the poor fools on the road later today.

Niki, beautiful pictures, love your Kitty!!

hehehe! Nekked bears. I looked at yours and saw the same message. Maybe it's on your blog because I was looking at it. Why don't you check yours out.

Niki, nice s***w pictures. Does your cat have s**wshoes?

Glad to hear you made it home Cecil! Throw another log on the fire.

Jerry memmo'ed me, said he was having fun, would see us later, hehe

woo-hoo!!

ok, I am paranoid now, hehe

Tom is s**wed in and is not happy about it.

YeeHaw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi gang

es

Yes boys and girls, it's starting to come down now. Cecil glad you got out B4 it hit the fan.

Krispi

Wow..beautiful snow. We are getting freezing rain now. I'm depressed...I want Amanda home!

Hi guys, definitely no snow down here! Normal Tampa winter, low of 60, high of 80 - but we do get some cold times in January. Stay warm! I had enough of the cold in AL last week, it was in the 20's a few days. brrrr

I got to talk to my nephew last night for about an hour, and it was a great conversation. He got his birthday card and $$ already. He had so many questions because my brother was never very open about things. He's doing incredibly well, and loves his new school. He said he's the smartest kid in his class. (My brother had a genius level IQ, but was very quirky...) Anyway, this is all good.

You all have a great day and weekend.

I think I'm going to give this to all the men in my life for Christmas...

the wunder boner


Niki, it's pretty though

Linda, no special shoes on the cats, alas. I sure was impressed with Max checking out the fence and the watering spot for the llamas. Now he and his brother, Walt, are cozying inside, pretending their playground is not buried under white drifts.

Nope, I have nothing to say on the subject.

Me either.........but I can Hardly stand not too!!

"The wonder boner! I think that's a weiner!"

why isn't it called the wonder deboner?

Cross posting is fun.

message number 1600

Niki, I like the way you think!

And you have llamas! How cool is that?

Yesterday:
"I want to chew grass. Where's the grass?"

Hmm Tink, did you notice the fish has to be dead for 5 hrs before using the wonder boner?

check out the fine print at 52 seconds, LOL.

can you imagine the smell

Jerry, it must be dead 5 hours prior to boning...hehe

Drive safe Jerry....sitting here looking at a car cam from Fox 25 in Boston on looks nasty.

A big CONGRATS to Niki, 1,600.

Viva Via.....nevermind!!!!!

Jer, dont forget to pack a blanket and the coffee can and some donuts...BE CAREFUL!!!!

YAY Nikki!!!

I like that PS....hope ya don't mind, hehe

Krispi, the one on the left is our "special" one...she isn't sleeping, she HATES the antlers, so she just pouts, lays her head down and digs her feet in until it's all over...LOL!

Cynde! LOL! Uncooperative brats.

Linda, The two biennial llama fleeces at our place are too messy for spinning, (mud, blackberries, grapes, fir needles, cedar, thistle, sheetgrass, etc.), but our neighbors send about 80 fleeces to a fiber co-op for blankets and socks and such. Shearing day is a riot. I help.

We inherited the two llamas and just keep them for grins, I suppose.

it must be dead 5 hours prior to boning


L...M...D...A...O....wait, that's not funny....Lord forgive me!

oh..bless her little heart...too cute

Love those pics Cynde!

Which reminds me... Quinn got his class pic today, it took 20 takes.. why, you all ask... because of Quinn... My little **** disturber . I wish I could see the previous 19 takes! And you wonder why I gave the teacher a bottle of vino for Christmas LOL!

Funny flicky, Krispi.


Good for you, keeping the two llamas just for fun. I imagine they can be a little feisty.

Drive safe Jerry. Don't forget the coffee can!

OK, I am on the run.

I hope you all have a great, safe, and warm weekend!!

I am taking Annemarie to see the Nutcracker Tomorrow...

BH, No, not that one

Nite Kristi have a great weekend

We are gonna hit the malls and have a girl day, fun.

I do not shop the weekend before Christmas but it is fun to people watch!!

ok, BYE!!

Linda, I don't see anything on your blog or mine about being flagged. I think it's just YOU!!
Strange....

Cynde, love the pics w/ the girls! And Michael looks like a different person in every pic I've ever seen of him. WHO is the REAL Michael??? At least he's handsome in all the pics, just a different man!LOLOLOL

"IT" has started

Krispi, be careful out there...malls scare me on normal days!!

Rafe just went with a friend to help hang Christmas lights at his grandmothers. I wonder what they are REALLY doing??? That just sounds to nice, and the other boy, he was way too nice. I feel set-up!

LaDonna

Kristi, the Nutcracker...

No... I'll get slapped for sure.

We have a huge white out right now here.

PS, I know I see things differently than most people..... When we get home from the party tonight I'll check it out on the home computer.

Everyone drive/stay safe on your way home tonight.

krispi, did you also see where it said:

"if boning lasts more than four hours, consult a fish expert?"

PS, lol on M...he needs a hair cut.

Eileen,
The Nutcracker must be related to the Wonder Boner.
Good thinking on giving the teacher a bottle of wine.

Think it's about time for me to get out of here too....everyone have a great weekend.

No, my kids are up... and I don't want to get banned from BT...

Seriously now, I hope everyone is safe and sound tonight. It is the worst I have seen it right now. My dad drove to work today (why???) and he has 3 more days to go before retirement and I called my inlaws to make sure they were OK (they are out and about lots). Drive safe, stay warm, I've offered up my place in case people need it.

Have a good weekend, BH.

And everyone else!

I am NOW going to my mom's. She didn't feel good earlier, so we both napped. But I'm going now. The beer better be cold!!

Can I come hang out with you and your Mom, Pegi????...I'm sad because Amanda isn't able to come home today because of the S**W!

Hugs Donna, at least she is safe right?

I rarely feel so antsy about weather, I wish my hubby would be able to come home (he's one of the 'owners'. It is scary outside.

Joel just called, he's on his way home

WOW everyone --- yes, Donna and Jim happy to hear that your kids are staying safe and sound!!

Eileen - please let us know when Joel gets home safely.
Jerry, LaDonna, Denise please let us know that you're home and snuggled up.
A bunch of my vendors closed up early today due to the weather.

I realize that it's frustrating to not have your loved ones right there with you and costly for businesses to close unexpectedly... but as long as everyone is safe and sound. Business will happen when it happens and HUGS are good any time

I've got a gazillion things to squeeze into the next 3 1/2 hours - then it's Christmas Party Lipsticker Style at the Yacht Club In my $10.00 dress and $15.00 3" heels - LOL!!

Heading home myself, 3" of new snow in our parking lot traffic is already creeping by.

I hope everyone in this storm's path stays safe and warm.

JOEL IS HOME!!!

I hope everyone else's fam is safe too!!!

I'm glad Joel is home...I'm glad Amanda is safe...but I want her here with me....time is limited before she leaves for Bon in January and I have to work alot of those days...our Christmastime together was supposed to start NOW! sigh....

On a brighter note...I had a nice relaxing day and I'm making Chicken Parmesean for dinner!!

and baked another batch of shortbread

and did some laundry....

Good to know I like to keep tabs on my kids!! thanks Eileen,, have a great evening..


Now where is Jerry?? and Tom??

Be safe Tom

Eileen and Joel glad to hear that! Thank you!

Just got home. WINE TIME!

Glad everyone is safe!
