To avoid talking in code I'm going to keep my fingers crossed you 'hear' me.
On another note,I got some fresh salmon (its not salmon season,don't tell anyone!) can't wait to find a really good recipe for it.
Actually its so beautiful I want to name it.
I am not going to resort to making jokes about corny phone commerials, but yeah, I can here you. :DQuote:

Billysheepbamurphy... yep all one word,he's a sheep that the kids made of pottery clay one christmas morning,all four kids picked part of his name.
I have a recipe for salmon that I think is the only way salmon should ever be cooked it is so good.
I will send it along si vous plait.
Ah, the memories. :)Quote:

Oh boy, oh boy o... BOY!! :) (I know, I know... but it relaxes me.)
I don't necessarily name them, but they get new 'friends' each year and the storage space gets larger and larger...Quote:

Once you know what a white Christmas is and experienced it... there is no way back. :)Quote:

I find now with E around, I found a bit of that Christmas spirit I lost in my teens. It's so fun to do the sleigh rides, and the ice skating, snow men, tobogganing, etc... And it's even better because she remembers who Santa was from last year, so this year she is really going to be into it. I can't wait!
Oh... Christmas is for children too... :)Quote:

And shoveling your way out of the house , to the driveway , then to the street in order to get your car out... makes you feel like you're the centerpiece in a Get Well Card . Or will be when you black out from shoveling 22 tons of beauty out of your way. The ambulance lights reflect off the snow nicely , even better than the lights from the Christmas tree.
Happy Holidays!
Still high 80's here, a little higher than average.Quote:

Right now is the best weather we get all year, and I always try to get out both days.
I'll take the 80's. Want to trade?:)Quote:
