It has to be tough, letting your son go off like that. Thank him on my behalf for his service!

I sure will Brad! And thank you very much for your thoughts... He'll get a big kick out of it when I tell him that a Mayor in Georgia is sending him well wishes...

ahh,Lackland AFB the memories...well at least he is going in the Spring so temps should not be horrendous like they are in July when I was there in 1993...he will be fine though...like you said One day at a time![/QUOTE]

Thanks Dawg, I passed on to him what you said and he was glad to hear that in comparison, it will not be as hot in April/ May as it can be in the middle of July or August... He's nervous, but also looking forward to the excitement of it all. He thought that it was pretty neat that I was talking to someone that had been there before...

G'day Mates!
Moved furniture back into our living room last night and generally worked around the house all day yesterday. I'm tired, and need a day "off" but hopefully one of those will come soon enough.

We had our first fire last night in the new fireplace...Man was that cool...of course I set off the smoke alarm but that was easily remedied. House is still standing this morning!

Hopefully by Sunday of this week, all will be complete and we will only have a few finishing touches to do. I'm tired of the upheaval and glad to see the completion in sight!

Great Day All!

Just one more thing....as I was going through Netflix earlier tonight, I came up on White Christmas for a streaming option...

I listened to the first White Christmas....

everytime I hear that song....it's just magical.....

That song has such an almost magical quality to it. It gives me the chills when I listen to it. (Only the Bing Crosby version though)

We could go down the halls of the hotel singing Christmas carols, how annoying could a bunch of Christmas nuts singing carols in July be? cheesy

Wow...mine is watching the same thing.....not me...Netflix...

I asked my wife how she liked it, Snow White & The Huntsman, she said it wasn't' that good. Glad I watched Dumb & Dumber instead, honestly I cannot watch a movie with Kristen Stewart in it, I just can't stand her. cheesy

it is still strange for me to be going to work during the day.
I am off, work until 4 and have tomorrow off.

Have a great day everyone!

Packing up to head home ... Expecting it to be crazy busy at work when I get back, so don't know just when I can get caught up here. I will when I can, but I'll miss you until then.

Crazy California woman carries on about a snowball fight in middle of July, throws sno-cones instead.

I went to take a nap at 5 pm and next thing I know I am waking up at 200 am!! well at least I got some good sleep and will feel refreshed for Monday morning!!! I was rolling reading made and xmas posts I hope I did not wake the house up but man yall are funny. Now about a convention in Indy in 2015 sounds great!
I can't believe my wife got the kids down by herself without waking me up. I slept through celeb app all stars. I don't know why I don't set the DVR to record it...I have missed so many of those episodes this season and that is the only thing I watch on tv..I can't wait until Big brother 15 starts this June.I watch that every day since I buy the live feeds on the Internet. It is Addicting! anyway I have a few hours till I have to get up..I hope everyone has a great Monday morning!

Now that's a nap that Crown would be proud of, glad to hear you got a good amount of sleep.

Hello all. What's this I read about a get together this summer? Is there a thread somewhere (I looked around, but could not find it)? I've been gone for a while out of town.

Hope everyone has a great Monday!

Imagine the faces of the hotel employees when they come up to the floor and see it all decorated with a tree and lights everywhere.

Done with work...stilo got a little cold...but that s aight...Kandice s nose is running, too. On a brighter note...we have pretty much skipped spring and jumped right into early summer temps...it is sunny and around 80 degrees

Yeah, Mark; rest easy! Did you like my comment about your niece's face freezing that way?

I told her what you said and she said no it won't!! :lol:

Indianapolis 2015 (July 5-9 but we will be there before the 4th and after the 9th),

Yeah, I think you need to hang around until the 13th and we will try to get everyone to come in on the 10th once there are hotel rooms available again and stick around for the weekend.

It's actually July of 2015, not this summer. Seawaters is going to come visit me here in Indy (she may say she's coming for the National Elks Convention but I know the truth) and I invited the rest of you to come visit at the same time!!!!!!!
