"Alvin and the Chipmunks, pizza....all that fun you’re having."

Yep ... one big party after another. LOL
Well .... I had another interruption ... story of my life. :)

Direct TV was suppose to be here between 12:00 and 4:00 to install an upgrade.
Servicemen are notoriously late except today.
He called at 10:30 and said he would be here in 10 minutes.
He got here about 11:00.
I wish he would finish so I can come play.

[JustAmy]

Oooops ..... again.

I really intended to ping you to today’s Opening at Post #400. Hope tomorrow is a better day. :)

Marissa goes back to school next Monday. Three weeks Christmas vacation is too much!!

I wish they would give these 5 days at a later time.

I agree that PrissyMissy must have antifreeze. I usually wake at about 3:00. I check her and always turn off the fan and put a blanket on her. Most of the time, she kicks the blanket off before I get out of her room.

I’ve also been scarce but not because of a special project. It seems that there are several interruptions every day. I’m hoping that things calm down eventually.

Hope you find a great house in the country. There are advantages and disadvantages to country living. I love the open space but .... I hate getting a house full of dust with every little breeze. I also hate having to rely on a satellite dish or ATT for my internet service. Marissa would love to live in a “neighborhood”.

Hi pollywog,Thanks so much for welcoming me to Amy’s Place! Maybe your sister will share her Bose speakers with you!!! They are wonderful!!! Where do you live? I live in Arizona and love it, especially this time of year.

[pollywog]

Oh my goodness do I agree with you about the 5 day Christmas vacation Amy! LOL
Kobe goes back Monday and it isn’t a day too soon for him or me!

And as far as kicking off the blankets he is identical to Marissa!

He just about will NOT wear a jacket outside,unless I threaten his life! lol

OK -the gig is up........... ‘tiapam’ is my best friend. She had serious back surgery some time back, and I am helping her recover, here at my house. (We’ve been best friends for almost two decades - she was my maid of honor at my wedding, to my late husband.)

She got her first computer last month, and is just learning how to use it - so patience would be much appreciated. She LOVES Amy’s place - and finds it a nice place to come to get away from the ‘nasty’ news that is flooding our cable every day, lately.

So, thank you for your kindness to her, Polly! ((((HUGS))))

[tiapam]

Cement City? What a HOOT!!! Have you seen “yorkie’s” post yet? Small world,eh?

[pollywog]

WOOOOO HOOOOOoooooooooooo!!!! Tiapam!!!! Your truly in the hands of the Best of the BEST!!

Yorkie... you.. you... YOUR WONDERFUL!!!!

Polly

[pollywog]

I hope you get well and recover soon from your back surgery. Polly

Delightful Jack! *hugs*

[JustAmy]

Oh My goodness ...... why didn’t you tell me who you are sooner?

Ever once in awhile, Marissa, asks about D O G? She will never forget your little guy.

How are you doing?

Conor, I just listened to your ‘Taps’. It brought back memories of my husband’s memorial, here. As I carried his ashes down the hill, the CD was played - and echoed through the Red Rocks:
