A big WELCOME HOME, JIM, SHEILA AND CHRIS!!

Glad you were able to jerry-rig enough stuff to get everything home
again so you can get the lift fixed and be comfortably mobile again.

Hugs, kisses, and best wishes,

— Susan TOL and Bryan

[luvie]

Glad you got home safely! It was so good to see you, Sheila and Chris again!

[onyx]

Oh my, dearest Jim.
You all had quite the unfortunate adventure.
So glad you’re all home safe! and of sound mind!
I’ve been sleeping ... a lot.

XOXOXOXO

[TheMom]

Glad to hear you folks are home safe & sound.

As always, it was great to see the three of you.

[onyx]

Next time, you co-drive!
You could have lifted Jim’s chair all by yourself!
And I’ve been told that nothing passes the time faster than you and Sheila singing!

XOXOXO

[onyx]

Are you and Bryan safely home too, beautiful Darling?
I so missed seeing you!
Next year!

[Syncro]

You could have lifted Jim’s chair all by yourself!

Yep, with one hand tied behind my bac...err....forklift LOL...

Next time, you co-drive!

What, and take a job away from Sheila?

I go along with the Robinsons when ever I can.

It wasn't in the cards this time, and as it turns out I had to be here this week for some unexpected occurrences.

Sometimes when it doesn't come together to do something (and I worked on being able to go quite intensely) there is a reason that can't be seen when planning.

Like I mentioned on the Memorial Shoot thread, I would have come out and back in the jet but it had a flat propeller.

[onyx]

LOL. That dang propeller!
This Shoot wasn’t timely for me either.
Maybe next year both of us can make it?

[Syncro]

Oh and BTW, Sheila and I DON'T sing.

We specialize in caterwaulering...or so I heard...it through the Grapevine.

Jim, sometime when Sheila is rolling past your work station, take a couple of sips of Chris' Rock Star and hit the link above...and Sing Along!

[Syncro]

Maybe next year both of us can make it?

I sure hope so! I'll have to do some long(er) range planning next year.

It would be GRATE to see you again.

I enjoyed hanging out with you a couple of years ago when we were smoozing with some of the candidates running at the time...

[onyx]

THAT was such a fun evening and late night!
It’s way past time for a reunion!
We will both have to make better plans for next year’s Shoot!
You’d have the time of yer life!

XOXOXO

[TheOldLady]

We got home on Monday, the 8th. I had my chemo on Wednesday
as scheduled, and Bryan went back to work Wednesday afternoon.

Our trip was uneventful, and we didn’t get any tickets.

My next chemo session will be on July 1, the first day of the
next FReepathon. Sigh...

[onyx]

I’m happy to know you made it home safe without any speeding tickets!

July 1, is coming around too soon! I will be thinking and praying extra for you from “wherever” I’ll be.

.

[onyx]

[TheOldLady]

Thank you, First Darling. I hope and pray that you’re able to get
all the many tasks you must complete done in good time and that
your life will settle down to a pleasant roar, LOL!, and very soon.

I am doing quite well with the chemo treatment I’m taking now, and
my side-effects are practically nil. The drug can cause heart failure,
so I am taking vitamins that will strengthen my heart, which has had
optimum results from my echo-cardiograms.

Always had a strong heart.

Don’t make me miss you at the next Shoot! ;-)

[onyx]

A huge t-storm roared through here today so I have no landline for my internet till 4:pm Monday at the earliest Trying to post this from my iphone

[TheOldLady]

The iphone message came through fine. Sorry you lost your phone and Internet and hope and pray that it is functional again as soon as possible on Monday.

[Redbob]

by all means, let’s end the begathon
