Mornin' Cal. How is everything in your world? Have the kids wound down from Christmas?

[Dubya]

Good morning everyone. Have a nice day.
I am off to Ft. Worth. We are repairing my Real Estate Office. Someone broke into it Christmas day and stole my computers and torn my office up really bad.

My sons and I have a lot of work to do. I didn't have any insurance.
We dailed 911 at 7:41PM Christmas. The police arrived at 11AM the next day. They said they were busy.
Back later.

These pictures with the Pledge Of Alligience super-imposed on them are so beautiful.

>>>Have the kids wound down from Christmas?

NO! (help me) :(

They are great though. I'm just tired.

Did you have a lovely holiday?

Hi Cal. Yes that is a recent pic of Lucy. She is doing really well. Although she is blind in the right eye and has some paralysis on the right side of her jaw, she is as spunky as ever.

[Calpernia]

I'm thrilled to hear that. I'm sorry she is has a little paralysis and lost sight in one eye; but dogs can be happy as can be like that. Unlike humans, they don't get depressed that something is different and just adapt. We could learn from that lead.

Going to make the kids lunch. Be back later.

Gosh Dubya, sorry to hear that your office was broken into. Take Care.

It's very warm here in Dallas, had to run the AC yesterday and will have to today as well.

Really? How nice. I am longing for warm weather. We are having our typical winter weather here. Cold and dreary. But we are at least over the hump and the days are getting longer....not by much, but our spring comes early in the Central Valley. We should see signs of it soon....I HOPE! I am SO ready.

Happy Saturday to you!

Hi, Lucy!

[deadhead]

Howdy, lonestar :-)

[The Mayor]

I hope you don't mind if I pass this one on.

No Please do!!

[Mama_Bear]

NO! (help me) :(

LOL! Ah well, they will back in school Monday, right?

We had a very nice, quiet Christmas. My son and his family couldn't be with us Christmas day, but were with us over New Years. We had a nice time with them....and he does what he always does when he comes to visit. He upgraded my computer PLUS, this time, he installed all of our entertainment system components in a new cabinet that we got to go around our big screen. Problem is, we now need to use FOUR controllers and a cheat sheet in order to figure out how to get our TV, surround sound, DVD, VHS, and Nintendo game systems to operate. This morning I managed to get the TV on, but the sound and the channel didn't coincide. Finally, after pushing buttons on the different controllers, I got it working, but I don't have a clue how I did it. Technology is wonderful, but there is something to be said for simpler days, when turning on the TV was as easy as finding the "on-off" switch. LOL

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning to you and Lucy! Glad to hear she is doing well.

[The Mayor]

It is truly a beautiful thing to witness.

Yes it is, recently a friend of mine was having a tough time with his son Brian, after years of drug abuse Brian came down with crack lung. Needless to say he was very sick and in the hospital for 10 days. Andy (my friend) got his father Ralph to visit Brian, now Ralph is 84 years old and Brians Grandfather, By the time Ralph was done Brian had accepted Christ and so did his girlfriend.

All to many of us have to hit dead bottom almost to the point of death before we can be saved by Christ.
Close to what happened to me, cept I had a slight problem with alcohol, been sober now better than 11 tears.

[The Mayor]

If you were closer I'd be there to help ya.

[Calpernia]

>>>Ah well, they will back in school Monday, right?

Maybe. If we are bordering on Red Alert, then a lock down would delay school. Amanda already had her game cancelled for today.

Four controllers? We can't keep track of ONE!. I would be launching the microwave and such by accident :))

Sounds like you have a fun system set up there. When should I expect a visit from your son? :)) ;)

[Mama_Bear]

Praise God! And hugs to you, Mrs. Mayor and all the little Mayors. :-)

Nicmarlo posted this last night just with Meekie, Nic and dansdevil, it was so cute I posted it and
changed the names to my little mayors names, LOL..

Have a great day, I need to do some work on some antique doors in my work shop, see ya later on.

[Mama_Bear]

Sorry to hear that your office was broken into. We had a similar experience with our business a few years ago. The police took a report and did a cursory investigation but the thieves were never caught. Our insurance paid off eventually. Even now we are still discovering little things that were stolen during the break-in. One of the things that they got was my handgun from my office. Isn't that great, knowing it is now in the hands of criminals? I don't have a concealed weapons permit, otherwise it would have been with me and not in my office. :-(

It's certainly not a great way to start out the New Year. Hope you manage to get your office back to normal with a minimum of stress and hassle.

[The Mayor]
