That is never an option! cheesy

Oh this is so true...I was trying to sound healthy and look good! Haha...guess I couldn't hide it!

Not much planned for today - rain is in the forecast, but we're hoping, that if it holds off long enough, that we can take the kids to a historical site here close to us and see the trains. I know both of them would like it.

Would that be the Strasburg Railroad? Just curious ... we went there once on a summer day trip when I was a tot.

Thanks, sugar! It was very good, the waitress scolded us because we hadn't been in for a few months, lol. She's a nice girl, and sees a lot of us during football season! I had boneless parmesan garlic wings & hubby tried a new lemon pepper rub on his reg. wings, and did his usual spicy garlic on the others. YUM!



Hope you had a blast at your BBQ, and could get things off your mind for a bit! Thinking of you, friend!! xo



Hahaha! Love it! :lol:



Hope you're feeling much better today, CM3. Hope your HP movie cheered you up! Sending big hugs your way! xo



You got it, that's exactly it, Holiday!! :lol:



They all sound lovely!! That's such a beautiful idea @ ordering a new Nativity piece every year for your Goddaughter! My Mom always bought us a new Christmas decoration every year, and would give it to us on Christmas morning. When I moved out for the first time, it all made such wounderful sense! My first year in my apartment, I was in awe. My friends wanted to come over to my place, because they didn't have many decorations, and couldn't afford any. It just gets built up more every year!



Happy 61st Anniversary to your parents!! How amazing is that?!





Thinking of you Jennifer, hope things get better for you. Sending lots of hugs!! xo





WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!! It's FINALLY here!!
Happy Milestone Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)

Just goes to show that Louann has the ability to amaze me even more everyday- just lovely!! xo

Good Morning, Christmas Family!!

Hope you're all having a great weekend!

It has been kind of a crazy one here. I had plans w/ my friend yesterday, and we had lots of fun, but I ended up staying there much longer because of something that happened in her neighborhood. A mysterious death, that has since been called a homicide.. And her husband is out of town, so she was scared- understandably. So was I. I offered to have her come home w/ me, but she wanted to stay there. But I had her lock up tight, turn the alarm on, and she was fine. Cops were crawling all over by the time I left.

Then, on the long ride home last night, there was a bad accident on the freeway. So, I was backed up in that. I missed the GSR show
*Sigh* Bet you all had fun there!

I was wiped out last night, so I crashed early...

Today, I have lots of laundry to do. Housework, too. Har is getting groomed, and Adrian is going biking in the canyons.

What are you guys up to?

Sending lots of hugs! Have an awesome MILESTONE day!!!
:dance:

Glad you are Safe and your friend too !! xo

 

[MerryCarey]

I am to afraid to ask for a special day.......What if I wouldn't be able to think of anything ????:sad::sad:

ASK FOR A DAY!! You have three months to think of something---whatever comes from your heart is heartwarming reading. Please do it!

Those wings sound so yumy! I'm glad you guys had a good time!

Here is my recipe for my homemade Buffalo Wings http://mymerrychristmas.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38391

I have one for Garlic Parmesan Wings too, I haven't made them in a while though. I'll have to find that one though, and that one is easier than the Buffalo.
Next weekend we will be heading to the Berkshires and there they have a restaurant named Arizona Pizza and they have a wing special $0.25 per wing. I will be hitting that restaurant for sure! Their wings are great!

No, it's actually the Horseshoe Curve. We're actually about 3 hours away from there.

Here's a link to where we're going:

Good afternoon,

The movie was pretty good, JP had to get up a few times with stomach issues. Then we went outside and it was like walking into a bowl of sleep it was so humid, so we came home and turned the AC on.

I have to go have some lunch, ttyl

Empty? As in a little food left in the bowl?

This is my cat and he will come meowing if his bowl looks like this! :lol:

No, it was actually empty for a change.

Good morning Christmas family !!

Wow !! 100 days to the Season !! I can't wait !! I think I am going to put my mantel Fall stuff out the first of next month and all my Halloween stuff too !! That way I will have a nice long time to enjoy them !! xo

One of my favorites too, the best wing I ever had was in Chicago, I can't remember the name of the restaurant, but they were big, drenched in sauce, and crispy, the hotter the better. When I was a dish washer at a restaurant during high school I use to challenge the cook to make them as hot as he could and see if I could handle them. I always won. Some day I plan on going to the Anchor Bar in Buffalo and have them at the place they were invented. Hmmm, Maybe on the way to Bronner's some day.

Oh my! Thank you! YUM! I have already copied/pasted this to my recipe book (Word document) That sounds delicious!!! :grin:

You're welcome!

There is a place not to far away from us called Edaville Railroad in Carver, MA, it is a little amusement park built on a cranberry bog. http://www.edaville.com/index.html We went there a few years ago for A day Out With Thomas, but they have cool train rides out to see the cranberry harvest, and a train ride during December to see a great Christmas display.

Ah! We could have all been tuned in!

Don't worry, you didn't miss much. Five check ins and not much in the way of chatting.

The music was awesome, as usual!

The music was awesome, as usual!

Thank you, Ma'am!

Another show you would probably enjoy is "Acoustic Highway" on WHRV from the Virginia Coastal area. The host does a really great job over there! If you make contact with him, tell him I sent you.
