Hey everyone. Hope you all had a great weekend! We had a great time in NYC, which we always do. I didn't get caught up on the all posts, which I didn't expect too. There is a lot I read here. Hopefully I will soon. I am off to take a nap - I am back to work tonight.

Ttyt! Hope the start of your week is great!

I love going to airshows. We had a Snow Birds here awhile back, they stayed at the hotel where my daughter worked and gave her tickets to the show. She got to meet them all.
My son and I went to the airport to look at the planes figuring we would just take pictures through the fence. To our delight we were invited out on the tarmac to go right up to the planes and look inside. It was a great visit with very few people as no one knew they were doing this.

I have seen the Canadian Snowbirds twice. Very cool that your daughter got tickets and met them all! They are talented! I would love to look inside those planes! Lucky you!

I have seen the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels so many times that I lost count. Also saw Black Diamond Jet Team once.

That's cool!!!!! They canceled the air show they use to have every year here because of lack of funding. I miss it!!! It use to be so cool to see the blue angels fly right over our apartments!!!

********** MILESTONE DAY **********

Good Morning, Dear Friends.

Hey!
Didn't we just have a Milestone Day yesterday?
<< Why yes we did, Crown. But today is another one! >>
Right you are, little voice!

Days to the Season: 200
Days to Christmas Day: 242

And as can be seen as plainly as the beard on Santa's chin, we have arrived at the TWO HUNDRED DAY SEASON WINDOW!!
Now, this can mean only one thing -- that tomorrow sees the start of our 100's level Season count numbers.
(Scarcely seems possible!)

Fantastic day yesterday, with moderate temps, sunny skies, no rain, little pollen and no wind to speak of.
Mother Nature is spoiling me. I guess she forgave me for my earlier critical remarks. But beware - Ms. Nature can be quite fickle.
(OOPS! Oh, no. I'm doomed. NEVER accuse Mother Nature of being fickle!)
Our temp? Fifty-eight degrees here, currently.

Well, have a Super Sunday, whatever your weather.
And enjoy the balance of your Weekend to the fullest!

200!!! Woooohoooo!

I really want to have a tree like this again! I'm just scared to take the chance & spend the money and not be satisfied with what I get/how it turns out. The Vermont Country Store has some neat vintage trees & color wheels!! So tempting!

That is the hardest question in the whole world! I just love it all! I guess it was the second half of the Beatles career that got me to be a fan in the first place then I explored all their music. I will never be able to pick a favorite song or album. My husband caught me on that one. Over time I didn't realize that every time a song would come on I would say, "That's my favorite song"! He finally said, "They are all your favorite songs"! Ha ha! I guess he's right! I can say that I have favorite albums depending on what I am in the mood to listen to. Right now I would say, Abbey Road! But next week it could be, Help!

It is very interesting how they evolved from lovey pop songs to more in depth lyrics and successfully pulled it off! I am not sure about Ob La Di Ob La Da, ha ha, but I love that song anyway! They accomplished this in only 7 years from releasing their first album to when they broke up in 1970. Of course they formed the band in the 50's with different members but released their first album in '63. Some say it's too bad they ever broke up when they did and it took me awhile to realized it was the best thing to do! They went out on top with their last album being Abbey Road! Some think it's Let it Be because they released it after Abbey Road but Let it Be was recorded earlier. Who knows how many flops they "might" have had if they kept going. I do mean MIGHT have had! :lol:

I guess I answered more than you wanted to hear! Lol!

The second half of their career starting with "Rubber Soul" is what really got me hooked, specifically the song "Nowhere Man."
The psychedelic stuff is what has shaped my taste of music now, learning and exploring the great sounds of the Beatles and others like, The Move, Status Quo, etc...

My opinions on other Beatle things:
My favorite album is "Abbey Road"
Song: "Strawberry Fields Forever"
Best album: "Revolver"

Looks like lots of people are getting hit pretty bad this evening by tornado's. Especially down in Arkansas. Hoping all of our friends are safe and praying for all of those effected.

Good Sunday morning, my Christmas friends!

Elizabeth and I got in the pool yesterday afternoon so I could done some vacuuming. Wow, it took a while before my teeth stopped chattering!

She has Oliver Twist auditions today, so we're going to grab a quick lunch and head out.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good luck to her!!!

Auditions are over and we just got home. They've already called and said Elizabeth made the cut, so we're committed to another play for the next 3 months. Proud of her! I'm not looking forward to all the running again, though. We had to do a devotional in the car while I was driving just to get it all done today LOL.

We're supposed to go to another family Easter get-together again this afternoon, but Elizabeth is so sick with a cold I think I'll stay home with her. And she fell during auditions and really hurt her behind, to the point that she was crying on the way home. Bless her heart.

I hope ya'll have a great afternoon.

I hope she is feeling better.

I am addicted to going there, it's almost been two weeks since I have gone.
The clerks are probably worried about me.

What if I missed something?
