Very cool. I wish my computer and internet was better, it kept stopping every second and then would start up again

 

[lbgraves]

Nope. Doesn't look like her. The Cinderella in your signature looks most like her. I am going to get my friend to upload her photo.

When was she on the ship? The other one is from 2004.

When was she on the ship? The other one is from 2004.

2 years ago.

She isn't the most athletic child. Usually plays RF which is her favorite position. She also made a good play at 2nd in the game too. Big smiles for her yesterday!

And that is the best part!!! I love the big smiles!!!

[kimerinc]

Because they know there are people like us!!

Have you ever clipped a coupon and bought something you would never normally eat just because it was on sale? Then you end up never eating it? I hate it when that happens...

Amy made me taste that thing . . .

All I can say, is pass me a beer . . .

John1

I think it is an aquired taste. I drank it all the time when I lived in Japan, it is my preferred warm drink of choice, and now it has become all the rage.... I keep packages in my coat pockets in case restaurants don't have it... Love it!! And it is so good for you, I had no idea.

I've got plenty more Kim, especially if you like Science Fiction. Another series that I would definitely recommend is the "Ender" series, starting with "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card. Those books I did not read, but listened to on audio - Alex read them. They are great books, and very thoughtful and thought provoking SF.

Arthur C. Clarke is another one of my favorite authors.

I have read a lot of the "old authors" of SF from when I was a kid . . . Asimov, Bradbury, Heinlen, Clarke, etc. Many of these guys have passed away now or are very old.

If you ever decide to read fantasy (beyond J.R.R. Tolkein) I have some excellent recommendations there too.

John1

I love well written books. Orson Scott Card is certainly a writer I appreciate. I have not read enders game, but I am ordering it now from amazon.... Asmiov Love, Bradbury love but can get a little odd. I have not read clarke or heinlen, I will look into that. I read Lord of the Rings as a kid, loved it, but have not read anything like that in a long time.

 

[brack]

Heinlen was a contemporary of authors like Isaac Asimov - another one of my favorites. Heinlen also wrote "Stranger in a Strange Land".

John1

Heinlein and Asimov are two of my favorites! The Foundation series is one the best works of scifi. My favorite series is the Dune works.

 

[kimerinc]

We do that!

Here's our website! There is a link to our ad there, and we have a two-day sale this weekend.

www.fisherfoods.com

John1

John, you have sushi. I could cry. I am sooo jealous that there is a store like that and it is too far away for me to go!!!!

 

[becka]

We are back home and it looks like I have time to spare.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

So 12/03 or 12/04?

 

[lbgraves]

Have you ever clipped a coupon and bought something you would never normally eat just because it was on sale? Then you end up never eating it? I hate it when that happens...

Kim

Nope! Of course if something was almost free with a sale & coupon & we didn't like it I don't mind as much.

 

[lbgraves]

This is the Goofy Pool last year when a movie was playing. DH is behind DS helping to keep him from hitting the back side of the pool.

 

[lbgraves]

I also want to let everyone know that I had to switch up early seating a little bit. We had two stations that weren't full & I figured that they would flip them around anyway so we are now in 6 full stations with one 8 top in the 7th. IDK what to do with the late seating.

How cute! It looks like there are about 10 people on that ship. Is that realistic?

We have a couple of authors in our family. DrHug's sister, Suzanne Proulx, has 4 medical mysteries published. Bad Blood, Bad Medicine, Bad Luck, Declared Dead. She got 5th back from publisher and is reworking it now. Quite a story with her. We did not know she existed until 2002 when DrHug's aunt told him he had a sister that was adopted. (1949 was her birth year). His mom had already passed away. We located the sister thru the wonders of the internet and it was pretty easy to do since she also was looking for us also. Their biological father was not a nice person (that is being kind to him) and their mother was divorcing him when she was pregnant with Suzi. Dennis was 3 turning 4. Bio father was in Terminal Island Prison (military) at the time. In those days there was no aid for dependent children or other welfare assistance. If you could not take care of your children the state took them and put them in an orphanage. So, it seems his mom made the choice to give Suzi a home, parents and love. With the help of her family she was able to take care of Dennis on her own. She had no education and few skills, so she worked as a waitress, etc. Anyway, their mom remarried 2 years later to DrHug's "real" Dad and he adopted DrHug, therefore changing his last name AND his life. So although Suzi's adopted Mom had given her the names of her biological family before she died and told her she has an older brother named Dennis, she was looking for Dennis under their bio father's last name and hitting brick walls. That Dennis no longer existed. Anyway, she lives in Denver has 4 boys, two grandchildren and we have gotten to spend time with her and her family several times since we found her in early 2003. Her books were fun for me to read, knowing the author was special.

Wow Angie! That is quite a story!!! Can you give me the plot lines of her books? I may have read one, I love medical mysterys!

John, our local Fred Meyer has the President's Choice brand as their store brand. Are you connected to them? They were bought out by Kroeger a few years ago.

As does our store Super Fresh.
