Just popping back in to let those who may be interested know that I've posted a new update on the food porn thread. It's a long one ... lots of sushi and some food and wine booths.

Now I'm off to clean the kitchen and do some more exercises for my back and leg. I have physical therapy three mornings this week before I head to work so my days will be starting even earlier than usual. But it does seem to be working to an extent so I'm not going to complain.

Hope you all have a good week and a happy thanksgiving!

Hey everyone. It's been a busy weekend for us. Today our boss joined us for church and then we went to dinner with her. After that, Elaine and I went to see Twilight together. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.

Glancing at the time, I'll be turning in soon, but I will be checking in tomorrow first thing.

 

[Walt & Di]

It was Princess and we had a great time. Lovely ship, not huge like some of the new ships.

Walt and I went on the Princess cruise line too when we visited Alaska. What a great trip. Beautiful. We go whale watching in Gloucester, Barnstable, Plymouth Massachusetts. We always see alot of whales when we go out of Gloucester. I can't remember if we saw any whales in Alaska. I just remember lots of beautiful glaciers. Walt and I also walked on a glacier. Di

 

[Walt & Di]

Here we goooooo.

Robin you will have to come for a visit and we will give you the nickel turned quarter tour of downtown San Antonio. Walt can give you a great tour. You will then be able to say you saw the Alamo. Di

We spent from 9:00 to 6:30 at the waterpark. Daughter and grandkids and I had a great time. The walk up the stairs to the tall slides was getting alittle tiresome by the end of the day. Plus the water was getting alittle chilly. They each got to pick one more thing they wanted to do and we left. We picked up Macdonalds for kids and daughter and I had bean and cheese tacos. We all took showers and just watched tv. Asiah fell asleep early. Elijah is watching a movie. I don't know why he hasn't fallen asleep yet. Erika has gone to bed and I am washing clothes. towels, swimsuits and clothes we wore at the resort. Well I need to take clothes out and put the last load in the dryer then I can go to bed. I am whipped. I had a great time and would recommend everyone to go to the Great Wolf Inn. Diane

[Karen Mouse]

Good morning folks

Quiet night last night

I might start having to threaten detention or lines again unless things improve

I'm off to see my Nephew today (at last) - Baby Oliver Edward

They have so many relatives I felt obliged to give them "first munch"...
but now its my turn

 

[Karen Mouse]

Ok, heres a few photos of my tree this year, a couple of people wanted photos

Its ok,... not as good as usual, because its my skinny tree and half the size of my normal one.

I still have about 5 large boxes of ornaments and theres no room on my tree

I photographed it with the lights switched off as they were too "dazzly" for the focus

recognise these KK'ers!

AFEG - Spot the "blues" ornaments!
