[Crown 84]

.....Hope your dad enjoyed his birthday, Crown!

He did indeed. We all had fun.

Good Morning, Friends!
Rise, shine and smell the tea (or raspberry lemonade).

Let's get straight to the count, shall we?:
Days to the Season: 163
Days to Christmas Day:205
Moving right in on day 200, aren't we?

Last clear day today. The rain is supposed to return to the area for tomorrow and Friday.
We currently stand at 75 under sunny skies and a gentle breeze.

Have a Thrilling Thursday / Fantastic Friday Eve, Everyone!
Keep that Christmas song on your lips and may the spirit of the Season with you.

my relatives live in NM and Arizona....so I always call on the Weekends at around 11pm...then it´s a good time for them to talk

Man, oh man did it storm yesterday! They said there was a chance of rain, but at 1pm it was still clear and sunny, so I parked outside instead of in the garage. Bad Move! By 1:45 everything was completely dark and it just started pouring buckets and buckets of rain! Then the wind and the hail came! Everything was going so crazy that I couldn't see 10ft in front of me! Wowzer!!!

It is still raining today, but no storms expected...phew! It is a lot cooler - I think the high is 68 today or something. Oh how St. Louis weather can change!

I've got a bit to do today....I am trying to find some tips on how to be more organized with my work. I stink at that! Anyone?

Looking forward to seeing those 100's in the countdown till Christmas! Lets keep the days rolling!

When I was in high school, I visited Germany for 3 weeks. I had to either call at 9am or 11pm to catch my family. That was a little tough to adjust to!

Well it is a rainy morning here today. I am trying to wait it out and work this afternoon. The high is going to be 70 today so not bad besides the rain. Not much going on today. I have 15 stores to call on this afternoon but that will only take a couple hours. Hope everyone has a Great Day!!!!

I know what you mean. There was a Canadian on the plane who was on his way home for his sons graduation.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends left behind.

 

[Meceka]

How incredibly sad! My thoughts and prayers are go to all those left behind, too.

Did I sleep through a day here, or is CROWN having a bad day???? :grin: My calendar says it's only Wednesday!!! I hope you remembered to check out the view to the weekend Crown?!?!

I hope you all had a great day!!!

I loved Germany. I spent the majority of the time in Hamburg and we took a weekend trip to the North Sea and went to a little town there where they had a museum on medieval torture devices? Funny the things that you remember!

I really enjoyed it, but I had just had major surgery 3 weeks before hand and the jet lag really knocked me out since I was still weak from surgery. It took me a good week to catch up on the schedule and I think I missed a lot from being so sleepy.

I would love, love, love to go back again someday, though!

I seriously double checked the calendar like 7 times when I saw that this morning! I was hoping that he had been right, though, as I don't work on Thursdays and I wanted to stay in bed today! Too bad I had to face the music and head to work!

I have never been in Hamburg, but my best cousin lives up there...and we might go for a visit there in the next two years....should be really cool.....When I came to the states it took me about 3 days to fight off the jet leg.....so when I came back.....I had to start school 2 days later....and I couldn´t really fall asleep in school....so I got up at around 5 am Seattle time...the flight left at 8....and it were around 13 hours to go...so that makes me being up 18 hours already....the plane arrived in Frankfurt early....around 10 or something like that....I stayed up all day and went to bed at 9pm....I was up for around 29 hours a piece.....I slept around 16 hours the next day and never had a jet leg...but it was really, really hard..

good morning!

Today is old maids day!
Always on June 4th
Still haven't found "Mr. Right"? Yet, the years are beginning to pile up? Don't worry or fret. This day is for you. Old Maid's Day brings awareness to those of us who have not yet found (and caught) our soul mates.
Old Maid's Day exists to put into the spotlight all of the fair maidens who have yet to find their Prince Charming. Ladies, celebrate Old Maids Day by getting out and getting noticed. Guys, open your eyes.... "Mrs. Right" may be right under your nose.
