Our driveway & street are covered in white this morning & it's still snowing!!! : I hope it snows all day...seems like it always snows overnight while I'm sleeping & I don't get to watch it! Lol!

Have a great Thursday!!

I think I dreamt the other night about a new Opera written by our genius Bingster...it's about flight, or flying or leaving home or something like that...of course Crown is asleep in a nest somewhere....

That dream sounds like it's for the birds. But I liked the part about......well........you know.

I've had a similar dream but it was about a ship afloat on an ocean of coffee. Binger was at the helm with some nautical outfit on and wearing a Folger's coffee can for a hat. They suddenly yelled "brace for collision"! When I looked forward, all I could see was this giant coffee bean looming up out of the fog. Just as we were about to strike it, Binger yelled "man the grinders!" and I woke up.
WOW!
(When I got up, I had to have a BIG glass of iced tea to calm myself down.)

Days to the Season: 294
Days to Christmas Day: 336
On we move towards our 2nd milestone, now less than 3 weeks away.

Thirty-Seven for the morning commute. Not too bad for late January. And we are supposed to reach the low 50's by this afternoon.

Well, may a Thrilling Thursday be yours!
Keep that Christmas spirit.

:lol:

Speaking of ships & coffeee.... (I'm getting nervous now...should I be concerned, I'm cruising in 30 some days???) I have been dreaming of sitting on the balcony in the morning, hair blowing in the breeze, taking in the sites, relaxing & sipping on a big ol cuppa java to get the day going.... Now I'm going to be watching the front of the ship the whole week for giant coffee beans... I'll have to check out the captain's badge the 1st day & make sure it doesn't say "BINGER" :lol:

How's the coffee on a carnival cruise? (Please don't tell me it's bad coffee....)

Goodmorning Everyone !

I woke up this morning to 0 degrees . . . . a little chilly ! We got a couple of inches of Snow last night, and it looks great. It's my day off, so I put on a pot of coffee and was all set to come to the boards when I found a little note that I had made for myself of some music recommendations by Crown. Apparently I shuffled it somewhere and only now did it surface. Soooooo, off to amazon I went. In the Christmas mood 1 and 2, and a couple of Percy Faith's are on the way. Unfortunatly so is a whole bunch of other stuff, to the tune of about $250 . . . . . . Maybe Mrs.Eagle won't notice it on the charge card. Yeah, right. My video/music collection needed a lift. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

Christmas still ain't over, I counted 4 housed left with their Christmas lights still on (not counting the ones that convert their display to Valentines). And I still have about 6 bottles of Egg Nog coffee creamer left. If I use it sparingly, I maybe could make it last until . . . . . April (?).


Suggested song for this morning: Johnny Mathis - It's beginning to look a lot like ChristmasSuggested song for tonight: Enya - Silent Night

House work to do and places to go . . . . Later!!!

 

[Binger]

Hey that sounds like a GREAT Operetta there Crown.... hmmmm gotta work on this one... Binger at the helm.. I like that....

 

[Binger]

alle xcept for the nautical aspect.. I am a real levi's kinda.... person........ a real denim stitch bluegrass kinda.... person...... versus you... a reall real real pajama clad kinda... person...

YABBA!!!!!

 

[Crown 84]

You won't be sorry, Iron.
You'll love Percy Faith and Glenn Miller (especially "In The Christmas Mood II")

That could scare the beans out of anyone!
Sorry. Hope I didn't spoil your cruise.

Now I have this picture of Binger playing Captain Merrill Stuebing on "The Love Boat", arms around Jack Jones, both singing...Sloshing coffee all down the front of that gorgeous white uniform...Or maybe Binger is Julie McCoy, again arms around Jack Jones, both singing...Anyway...whoever is singing, arm & arm, there is bound to be sloshed coffee...and maybe sloshed passengers...something is sloshing, that much we're sure of...I, of course, will be Gopher...Ships Burser (whatever that is) with a future in Midwest politics...Or perhaps Doc...He was such a cool Character actor...Talk about Stream of conciousness...Pass the salt...Hey lady...wanna buy a watch??? Hello Frisco....What's the frequency Kenneth???

 

[Crown 84]

"On the gooood ship, coffee-pot".
Oh! The possibilites!

That's so funny Crown. Lets go get that cup of coffee.

 

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

cheesy That reminds me of the time my brother and I and a chum of ours were hanging out down at the Toronto Harbourfront and walking around the sail boats and such singing the Love Boat theme. I don't think we disturbed anyone, but a few elderly tourists turned down their hearing aids. Go figure.


I see the Opera as a flight that takes us to our cruise destination and the land of Java and Nod.

HiyaRenna!

Iron Eagle - great to hear a few folks still have their lights up, with the exception of the people who leave them up year round, the lights in my town are down.

Thanks to Crown, the season seems so close and I'm going to start preparing soon for Christmas 2008. In fact, I'll be picking up Scotch Tape this weekend when I venture out to the mall.

In honor of the 24th & 25th, I'm listening to Christmas tunes.

"Altho' it's been said many times
Many ways; "Merry Christmas to you"

 

[Binger]

Hey Jay- good idea- let's go beat up dan rather.. what is the frequency after all?

YABBA......

 

[Binger]

ok ok- The Operetta will be a combination of coffee on the good ship coffee pot and the bird that was merely asleep...... ok

 

[Crown 84]

That's so funny Crown. Lets go get that cup of coffee.

Tea, Mammaduke! TEA!
