Winter Closeout Thursday #308!

[RICHARD]

As we come across the last 9 days of Winter I thought we could have a close-out-winter-bonfire in the back yard...You know.....something to scorch Jack Frost's behind as he makes his way out of town?

I could get the ORC to build a pyre and we can really do it right?

------------

Someone had a 39th b-day this week, too!


Remember we still owe PHred a cake!:D

[DJFyrewolf36]

I brought Phred a HUGE cake! And something for all the pets too :D

I officially think winter can take a hike, and can let the door hit it on the way out too!!!

Hmm, 'twill be a while before winter's gone here, but at least the snow pile near the back door is no longer taller than I am! :)

I'll take some of the hot cocoa, please! :) And I'll be making shamrock cookies later - some mint and some plain - enough to share! :)

[RedHedd]

Oh, it's sunny and warm up here in NorCal. I'm breaking out the flip flops - we actually never put them away up here.

Just an iced tea for now :cool:

Hot chocolate sounds good. (can you add a little stomething to it.) ;)
It is beautiful today.

[DJFyrewolf36]

It was sunny all day today but it was cold brrrrr...

Hot coffee...make it a double! I intended to go to sleep when I got off of work because I had been up for a long while...that didn't go over too well lol.

[cassiesmom]

:) Well I am not sure winter is out of town just yet..

Winter hasn't left Chicago quite yet either. High of 30 today, but it's been bright and sunny the past few days. Could I have coffee, please? Here, I brought some Irish soda bread for munching.

[lvpets2002]

[Karen]

The coming of spring is always a mixed blessing for me - with spring comes warmer temperatures, and lovely flowering plants and leaves and trees, but also pollen, and mud season.

Today, walking across the back yard the ground felt hollow underfoot - it's a weird feeling you get when you know that it's just mud underneath the grass that has been frozen for months, and one good thaw will make it treacherous. It's just part of Spring in New England, but mud season has been much less of a hassle since we paved the driveway, so that's one good thing!

[Randi]

OK, I'm sorry if anyone is dissapointed, but I would LOVE an American pancake included in my breakfast.... will a Mimosa go with that? ;)

And this afternoon, I'll make this layered cake I'm sure Phred can't say no to - even if it IS called "Womania"! Hot chocolade with that please! Oh, and a dash of Grand Marnier in that, please. :p

Spring is definately here, just look at all the..... argh, can't remember the names in English OR Danish (they're yellow and they're white), and then of course the crocus - love those!

Where's Slick - and Gini? What could they be up to? :eek:

Now, why would we be disappointed in a HUGE American Pancake?
Mimosas go with anything.


And a hot choco, with a splash of GM too!

Randi, that is not a picture of a cake......It looks like a 'sin'! ;)

DONE!

We have to sing happy birthday to Phred and LP....

Happy Birthday to them.....

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Happy St. Pat's day everyone!

I got to see the space shuttle fly over my house last night. It was so cute. It looked like a tiny ufo. :D

Not been around much lately. I fell trying to get into the senior bus Friday, which is really a van type thing. Anyway, it made my achey arthritis even worse. I'm better now. I think.
I fell going home from the dr of all things. Tore all four fingernails on my right hand off below the quicks. :( owie

Can I have a cherry rootbeer? PL--ee-ase? :)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Thanks for the lovely cold cherry rootbeer!

The thing that really bothers me about the entire bus thing is the driver knows I have a hard time getting into the back because it's higher than the front. Her grown healthy son came up to vist here and was riding around visiting with her. He could have at least offered to get in the back for 10 minutes until they got me home. sheesh :(

One of the drivers told me once that if I couldn't get on and off by myself, I'd need to bring a "handler" to help me. They won't even consider getting a step stool. They are afraid someone would fall and sue them. :confused:

I know I'm not the only short and shrimpy senior with arthritis they have riding with them. sheesh again!!!

[RICHARD]

MOFF,


Sorry to hear about your fall.

I hope you are better and there is a answer to the problems they have of giving you a safe experience and ride.

I'll refill your glass if you want.

Sit down and relax with us!

DONE!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Done! :d

[RICHARD]

Glad to hear that, MOFF!


Has anyone heard from the Human's?

I hope they are doing O.K.!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Glad to hear that, MOFF!

So what are the rest of us? Chopped Liver? :D

[Cinder & Smoke]

I'll make this layered cake I'm sure Phred can't say no to -
even if it IS called "Womania"! :eek:

A CAKE called "Womania" ??? :confused:

Starting to wonder ... just HOW Long this "39th" Birfday is gonna hang around?
I cudda *skipped it* before it ever got here!

:p

[smokey the elder]

When I was in Orlando all the Miers' vans had step stools for people to get in. Maybe because there are more seniors in Florida? MOFF, I think the idea of you needing a "handler" is silly when a simple stool (or some vans even come with swing-out steps) would serve nicely. I hope you feel better.

[RICHARD]

So what are the rest of us? Chopped Liver? :D

NO, you are better than chopped liver...Pate' maybe?:D


C&S,

All things sinfully delightful are associated with 'woman'!

Celebrate, you can be 39 as long as you like.

DONE!

STE,

I thought the same thing about the 'handler' comments.

You'd think they would have compassion for the people that use the tranports!:mad:

[Karen]

If you were asking about Lady's Humans, they are okay, just busy, and Jenn (Lady's Other Human) and Axel - the littlest one, have been sick this week, Grandpa reported when I spoke to him the other day.

Hmm, the snow pile by the kitchen door is getting smaller daily ...

Maybe this rumored "spring" thing is actually gonna happen?

Yeah, 'Spring' is a maybe ...
- OR -

Maybe God is just *rotating the stock* -
and makin room for the really **BIG** pile o' *S*N*O*W* that's always possible
just AFTER 'Spring' arrives.

:eek:
