Christmas Countdown - 2013

[lauriebear]

Good afternoon, MMC!

I hope this finds everyone well!

I am a great aunt again ~ Zoey Ann arrived on the 4th. She is such a beautiful baby! Her dad is my age and her mom is only a few years younger so it seems weird to be in the "great" category ~ but I love it!

I am caught up on the past two days' posts ~ just in time to start work :grin:

Have a most MERRY day!!!

:dance:

CONGRATS Meceka

Which Our Gang member lived in their neighborhood? I'm curious, because I've met a few of them.

I will have to ask her when I talk to her.

I met Spanky McFarland. He just lived right outside Dallas before he passed away.

Which ones did you meet?

Congratulations on your decision, Xmas. Although I do not have children or anything of that nature of my own, I know you made the right decision! You should be proud!

Are these books you have read so far this year?

Since Christmas.

Hi everyone

Happy Wednesday all...

Well, today is a little sad my Mother In Law goes home to England today. We had such a nice visit I really enjoyed having her visit.

I am glad you all had a nice visit!

Thanks CAH,

Yeah, it goes so fast doesn't it.

Well all of the outdoor Christmas decorations are down. The only problem, I now have 240 foot of icicle lights piled in the middle of my living room floor. So I guess I should get to work seprating them and putting them back in their boxes. Oh and the ground is to muddy to take the ladder out, so all of the clips for the lights are still on the gutters.

Good afternoon!!
I'm sitting here at an auto body shop waiting while getting an oil change on the Acura.

Made, what would you say the average cost should be for a 30 point inspection/oil change w/ Mobil 1 oil? I have a turbo engine. I knew it would be a lot more for this car, but holy cats!! Ugh..

We went to the DMV yesterday, and our now registered here, w/ our licenses on the way. Yay! Check one more thing off the list.

How are you all today?

Praying for Wish & CM3. Sending our best to them. Xo

It's pretty nice today, warmed up to 30 degrees yesterday. But there is a chilly wind. Brr!

Hope you guys have a great rest of your day! See you later @ The Pines!!!!

I got a message from him that both of his parents have been in the hospital. They are both home now but his mom is not doing so well. Keep them in prayer!

Thank you for posting! Praying for them!

I met Spanky McFarland. He just lived right outside Dallas before he passed away.

I'm glad you got to meet Spanky---he was something else! I saw him on a panel at a film convention, and someone phrased a question that implied he might have had a better life if he hadn't been screwed up by his childhood in films. He promptly shot back, "I've never been screwed up!" And his cameo appearance on "Cheers" was priceless. I have a photo with Spanky.

You wouldn't recognize the names of most of those I've met. Some went way back into the late 1920s and early 1930s (before Spanky, Darla, Alfalfa, etc.---the series ran from 1927 into the 1940s). But here goes: Dorothy DeBorba (Echo), Harry Spear, Pineapple Jackson, Jerry Tucker, Jacquie Lyn, Eugene Lee (Porky), and the very first Our Gang member: "Sunshine Sammy" Morrison. Mr. once had a nice chat with Darla Hood at an airport, and also met Jean Darling.

I attended a film convention in 1992 that was unforgettable. Hal Roach (head of the studio where the Our Gang and Laurel & Hardy films were made) was a guest, at the age of 100. Several Our Gang "kids"---now in their 70s and 80s---were also there as guests. So in one place were the now-elderly "kids" and their 100-year-old "boss"!

I've almost met a few of the "Babes in Toyland" (1934) stars: Virginia Karns (Mother Goose), Henry Brandon (aka Henry Kleinbach--Old Barnaby), and Felix Knight (Tom Tom). Again, unforgettable!

Well I can't sleep! Hope everyone has a good nights rest...I am counting down the minutes until I have to get up anyway! just 4 hours and 10 minutes...I missed a call from the Vet today..he had the results of snowballs urinalysis..now I am worried about that!!! I will call first thing in the morning after they open! Have a great night everyone!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

WOW!!! That is amazing! I love watching the little the Little Rascals/ Our Gang films. To meet all of the above mentioned.... Now that is a really neat "life experience" that you can charish and carry with you for the rest of your life. Thank you for sharing... Gosh, I sure hope you had the oppurtunity to take some photographs.
