Good evening, everyone!

It was a busy Wednesday. Work, gym, dinner, groceries, and now hopefully some sleep! Well, have a visit to the 'Pines, of course. Great seeing you all here! I'd like to say that everything will be a lot more calm tomorrow, but I am working overtime tomorrow and Saturday. I need the money!

Bed time here, friends. Have a great rest of the night at the 'Pines!

Goodnight, Brent!!!! Hope work goes well!!!

Also, it's my ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF JOINING MMC! I didn't get on much my first year though...but here I am! YAY!!

Happy anniversary! And happy to have you here!
And what a way to celebrate---your first visit to the 'Pines!
I was awfully quiet during my first year as a member too, but look at me now ...

A little late post as I have just returned from hockey...

As you may recall, I posted about a massive Christmas Village needing a Christmas-loving owner in the midwest. Well, I have been in contact with the current owner, and they said that they would definitely be interested in contacting someone who would be interested in the village.

I also made a similar post in the Christmas Decorations forum, but I don't know how many people visit there.

Is anyone interested? Made? Snowflake? I know there are a few other midwesterners, too! I would love to see a friend add to their collection!

That is an amazing collection!

Made, how is your mom? I'm praying for you both.

She is kinda all over the place. Still pretty wobbly and fighting some bad headaches. None of the doctor's really agree on anything though so what do you do. More tests and doctor visits next week.

Thanks for the prayers. Praying for you and your family as well.

Thank you friend!

I hope they get a handle on whatever is causing it all!

Good evening,
Long, long, long day. We were in the car driving for over 8 hours today. I did 100% of the driving and I am exhausted. I will NEVER drive to the Bronx again, it was one of the worst driving experiences of my life. Getting out of the city it took us 2 hours to go 30 miles. We now know Southern Boulevard quite well. It took 4 hours to get there and over 4 hours to get home due to traffic, it is a 140 mile trip one way. We left before 7am this morning, and just got home at 930 tonight.
The zoo itself is huge, we didn't see everything. It was sooo crowded, people were walking into us, we couldn't get to see a lot of the animals. We did see a beautiful Polar bear that Louanne would have just adored. I will post pictures soon.

So the roadtrips are done for this vacation, we nearly did 500 miles of driving, tomorrow is a rest day.

I need to head to sleep, the drive has taken every ounce of energy out of me.

Goodnight, everyone.

Sounds like a rough trip Xmas, I'm sorry. I hope you have a relaxing day tomorrow.

I'm sorry to hear that the drive was so stressful.

Hope you still had fun once you got to the zoo. Looking forward to seeing your photos !

Enjoy a relaxing day today =]

Good morning, CS!

Hope work goes well today.
Enjoy your three days off!

Tapatalk is no longer compatible here, per Jeff. This new software is mobile friendly, so it is no longer necessary. I believe he may look into options with similar apps, but my understanding is that would be sometime down the road. I guess Tapatalk gave him MMC security headaches . Either way, it's nice to navigate on here with any device once you familiarize yourself with it =]

Hope you have a spectacular day!
