BIG DAY
Posted by powlee on Thursday, August 25, 2005 1:37 PM
[:D]Hi yer all
Just had to tell you it`s a big day in the Powell household on Saturday.
I get to escort my daughter down the aisle. After 30 years she is finally tieing the knot.
[:(]Funds will be a little short for train purchases for a while but winter is coming anyway.

All the best
Ian P

Well done Ian. All you had to do was cross out 'toaster' on the wedding list and put in 'GP9' etc etc.[:-,]
Have a great day.
Cheers,
Kim

Hi Powlee
Best wishes to the happy couple
Sounds like you better dig out those garden rail mags and check out the pullout plans forum for toenail ridge's construction classes.
That should keep you occupied in the winter months and stretch the pounds a bit further[:D]

Congratulations Ian,

I wi***he new couple much happiness. Hey John is right if you can make a bridge out of an old gurney you can make some of the plans from GR really easy, that will let you keep getting new pieces thru the winter and such without to much money going out.

That's great news, Ian! Having recently tied the knot myself I can understand how happy you are to have some other man support your daughter now. My father-in-law gave me a box of ball point pens for all the bills I'll be paying now. Seems to me you should have more money for the RR now.....................[}:)]
