Thought for the Day "If reality wants to get in touch with me, it knows where I am." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Handy Latin Phrases
when describing our troops . . . in Latin:
suaviter in modo, fortiter in re
"gently in manner, strongly in deed"

On this Day in History 1944 General Dwight D. Eisenhower,
future President of the United States,
received his fifth star
Happy Bill of Rights Day!

Hello Sarge!
How are you this fine evening?
*SMOOCH*
I hug everyone, but I only *SMOOCH* certain people.

So? Feel the love! Besides, I've gotta figure out where Grayson Lake is again. Sheesh! LOL!

L0L I just helped my son with a paper on subs for school.

Eating the fake decorations? Oh no......maybe you will have to pretend
that Stephen is a cat and put ornaments only above where he can reach.

[Kathy in Alaska]

666!!

On my big tree,upstairs, all of the ornaments are at the top and the bottom of the tree is empty... The downstairs tree is the Charlie Brown tree- it has the handmade ornaments and plastic ornaments- bigger than he can eat. I didn't think he would unwrap my lights!!!!

This kid is too much. The other day he would not rest until I picked him up on my shoulders so he could touch the star. It was put him up there with help from me or he was going to scale that huge tree...

Night Gummy...you finally got here and now your gone. :)

[Diva Betsy Ross]

yes, that is true... But when my hands are empty and my babies are grown- I will be sad. ( At least that is what hubby tells me after Stephen eats my Christmas tree and Jimmy lets lizards loose in the house... Yes- he really did that .. and on Thanksgiving day to boot!!)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Best wishes to you, kemathen7, on your visit to the recruiter.

[laurenmarlowe]

Hi Kathy! Merry Christmas to you, very cool picture! and thanks for the poem. I am so thankful for our soldiers.

We owe our freedom to all soldiers and veterans, and families, and I humbly wish them all a safe and blessed Holiday season.

I am safely in Houston, and looking forward to a big day tomorrow!

Take care, and God Bless our Troops!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Still catching up.....

No Waffle House here. We've only had IHOP for a couple years, and it took forever to get it.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Glad you are safely in Houston. And have a wonderful Thursday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Did you finally find the lizard?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Congratulations, Allegra.....5 days and counting!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

No Day in History??? Oh dear. Well, we will await your return.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good job, DBR, with the tunes today. Glad you got your jukebox working again.
