Congratulations!
...and it went REALLY REALLY REALLY well....
Holy moly! Her full pension PLUS $50??? It's too expensive to get old! By the time we hit that age (not so long for me!), they'll be euthanizing us.
I remember that feeling.
And I don't miss it.
I'm glad it went really really really well.
Now I am off to bed - see you tomorrow with some more photos of the decorations in Ashford.
I presented her with this and she didn't run away! :-)
Congrats and nice choice, I noticed her wrist chained to the bar though what's that about? lol
Congrats RR & Hoodie! Sure will be nice not to have to do all that traveling back and forth :-)
Actually, we couldn't get a close-up pic to work. I didn't realize what crap my digital camera was until we tried to take the pic close-up.
Thanks!
Well, we're still trying to figure out just WHERE to live.
Looks great!
Not in Cleveland, that's for sure lol.

READ: James 1:1-8
If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. —John 14:14
Two children dressed as sheep in the Christmas play at Kaw Prairie Community Church in De Soto, Missouri, had a special part. Whenever Murphy, the main character in the play, encountered a problem, the sheep (Maria and Luke) came on stage to offer a reminder of what he needed to do. One carried the sign: “Just.” The other carried the sign: “Pray.”
We’ve all been faced with situations when we didn’t know what to do, or there was nothing we could do. When we’re distressed, we probably don’t want to hear someone flippantly say, “Just pray!” That answer seems too simplistic and can even feel hurtful if it’s said unthinkingly.
But the simple answer “Just pray” is exactly what we need to do. During the days of the early church, James wrote to believers who were going through trials—difficulties that most of us know nothing about: stonings, imprisonment, and beatings for their faith. He told them to ask God for the wisdom and comfort to withstand those trials: “Let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him” (1:5).
When you encounter a problem, remember the simple instructions of the “Just Pray” sheep and talk to God about it. He’ll give you what you need.
Woo hoo! Another FR successful hookup!

18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.
But for Adam [a] no suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs [b] and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib [c] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman, [d] '
for she was taken out of man."
24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
NT:
Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled ... Hebrews 13:4
Perhaps, but may well not be. Esp. after this last election, ugh...
