Well, this should make things interesting, at least it's not real bullets. (I checked, CW, it's water-based paint, will be back in to clean up the mess.)

Thanks Randy!  I haven't been bungee falling...in forever!  Hope I didn't squish you!  I better put some more fudge and milk out on the shrine next to the heated hammock and special scratching post I made!

//Notices rope hanging from ceiling//

Hmm, what's this??

//Gives rope big yank, man in camo falls from ceiling on top of Randy, both fall to floor, Randy untangles and slowly gets up//

Oohh, ow, that's what that was.  I need to learn I'm no cartoon...  Man, them tin boots hurt!!

//Nudges Dan with shoe//  You alright?  //groan//  Yeah, you're alright...

Not much new happening in this neck of the woods, made the mistake of going Christmas shopping Saturday, too much traffic for my tastes!!  Got two more people off my lists, just have one more to take care of, and I'm done for the year.  Think I'll have to head to the Duck Inn for the last present, though, can't think of what else to get them.

Will take a meal, and some Advil for the headache I recieved for pulling the rope.  Think Dan might want some too, luckily I broke his fall........

See everyone later, especially Tuesday, wouldn't want to miss that.....

Good Evening!

 The last full week of school before Christmas begins tomorrow. Then it will only be half days next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for exams and after that Christmas vacation goes through January 4th. Of course the teachers are still piling on the work as if the end of the semester was still a month away. I have tests tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. You'd think they would spend that time helping us review for exams, but that would be crazy.

It really doesn't feel/look like Christmas is coming. The ground is brown and today's high was 53 degrees. I give our chance of a white Christmas in Omaha this year only 20%.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a terrific week! Cool [8D] Hopefully Mookie's anger with Brian and Dan has cooled down a bit!!

I've got the next round of roast, potatoes, carrots ready for supper.  And we still have plenty of the desserts I made for today, so grab a plate (or plates) and get yourself to the warmer bar, and fill your plate(s).  

 

Sure hope that Joe found his two plates in the fridge for work tonight! 

Has anyone heard from Kozzie lately?  I emailed him about 1 1/2 weeks ago, but haven't heard anything from him.  Hope everything is all right with him and family down under.

Sunday breakfast is on the warmer bar:  turkey bacon, sausage, pancakes, sausage gravy, homemade buttermilk biscuits, cinnamon rolls, scrambled eggs, fried taters.

Our day today is to be very beautiful, with plenty of sunshine!  And tomorrow is to be the same, before a chance of showers comes back in Tuesday.  

 

Everyone have a great day, have a safe, uneventful trip to and from church services, and I'll see you back in here around two o'clock for Sunday Dinner.  On the SUNDAY DINNER menu today:  roast beef w/potatoes, onions and carrots, cole slaw, your choice of green beans, peas, broccoli, brussels sprouts, rice w/peas & mushrooms and corn.

 Desserts today:  Dutch apple pie, pecan pie, chocolate cake and chocolate pie, and your choice of ice creams or Cool Whip or Readi-Whip as toppings.

Okay, I got SUNDAY DINNER ready before I figured.  So, everything is on the warmer bar, and the desserts are in the cooler, and the Cool Whip and Reddi-Whip are also in the cooler.

Greetings from sunny Utica, NY. 

Things went well on the Polar Express last night - hopefully things will be the same tonight.

Pizza was delicious last night, but had to settle for cheese, and hope I got there before all of the elves.....

Good Sunday morning everyone! Joe, thanks for getting the coffee started. We too, are experiencing some mild weather here in the Dakotas. At last report we had a temp of 35 degrees here in Sioux Falls, and it is supposed to warm up to 46 later this afternoon. We have just a bare trace of snow on the ground here, and I am kind of wondering if we might end up having a "brown" Christmas here with no snow on the ground. I wouldn't mind having a few inches of fresh snow on the ground for the photographic opportunities that it would present, but otherwise it is not something that I particularly care for.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the current situation is slightly worse that what I encountered when I *accidentally* closed the closet door a couple of months ago.

I'll take the Canadian Bacon to go, please.

I'll have a #6.  Got my own can of anchovies to finish it off.  Winds out of the SSW were supposed to bring us above freezing today.  Looks like the Houston contingent is sitting on the warm air.  Still a lot like Christmas here, but temps in the 40 for a week should take care of that.

Good Saturday morning!  Looks like we're going to warm up today!!  It's currently 20 degrees F., and we're to reach a high in the 40s today, then tomorrow, we're to up around 50 degrees F.  

 

For breakfast this morning, you will find on the breakfast warmer bar:  turkey bacon, sausage, sausage gravy, homemade buttermilk biscuits, scrambled eggs, hash browns, tater tots, hot oatmeal, toast, grits,  and western omelettes.

 

With a breakfast like that, you all should have enough energy for all your errands you'll be running around to get done, along with any Christmas shopping you're wanting to do, and railfanning.   So, have a great day, and be careful and safe out there!!

No time for railfanning here, which is too bad, since our weather promises to be just as good as yours.  I'm off to practice our Christmas concert with the church choir, which we'll be doing two performances of tomorrow morning.  Should be a good one, since our director has good ties with members of the Cedar Rapids Symphony, and we wind up with at least a 20-piece orchestra accompanying us.Whistling [:-^]

rappels down from ceiling//I'll come down for now...I didn't think I was doing wrong by helping.  I thought that the cake, heated hammock, and scratching post would be enough of an apology!  Maybe I'd better make myself scarce for a while...like until 2007!

I'll make about 50 lbs of fudge and leave some catnip next to it in a shaker on the counter!  Sorry kitty!

All righty, I've got a fresh batch of fish, fries and hushpuppies in the fryers for our supper tonight.  Also have corn on the cob boiling on the stove top.  

 And, there's plenty of desserts left for tonight.
