I was waiting for more people to post last night...didn't want to have 10 posts of nothing in a row.

Busy morning here...groceries, Target, laundry, Goal Action Team meeting...and I had better put something in the crock pot before I go!

Better go find a bear!

It's good thing that I do not have such reservations for ing or I would never get one again ....... especially on the EB thread!

Swabbie indeed!

You don't even want to know how hard that made me laugh!!!!

I just thought I would pop in and say Hi! I see that I missed a last night...WTG Brack!!! GIVE NOTHING BACK!

I hope things are going well for everyone. I miss all of you guys. My life seemed to work better with a daily dose of the DIS Geeks.

Pssst, Becka.
"Reason: fix grammer errors....I didn't want to be John1's next target "

Ummm. Make it "grammar" or John1 will still have to take care of you!

I'm SO EXCITED!!! Dennis has a job Mon, Tue and Wed in Lincoln City, over on the Oregon coast next week. I'M GOING TOO!!! I found a state park right by there and we will be taking the MH. I will get to spend 3 days at Devils Lake State Park while he works! I just called and reserved a site for us, full hook-ups AND cable tv for FREE because Dennis is a crazy VietNam vet. Don't tell him I said that. Too fun! Our second outing and we get to stay 3 nights. The really cool thing is that since it requires an overnight stay he will get per diem for all three nights. Hmmmm....shopping money for me?

 

[87Heel]

Sounds fun, Angie!

Rest can go in the TOAL fund....

We do have our "camping grade" cognac packed in there already. Camping grade is XO - for you non-cognac drinkers that's the $130 a bottle stuff. We stash it away just to have around the campfire with a cigar. We drink the VSOP grade other wise.
