Hiya Mrs. Nooseman, doing fine, glad our snow is gone. Is all the snow gone where you live?!

[Mrs.Nooseman]

I miss the snow,but then again I don’t have to drive in it.

[EsmeraldaA]

Hiya MrsN!

*Hugs back*

[Kathy in Alaska]

Wonderful.... I had a quiet one too. We are entering a cold spell. It is -5 right now. Supposed to stay cold for a week or so.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Together as a family, yet so far from more family.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

I think after that cold front leaves you it’ll hit us again.

People here were panicking and we had lots of associates call in,in the week we had snow and ice.

It made our store almost like a ghost town.

I am jealous that you got to spend so much time there. We
were there for 3 years and our son...who is now in the
Air Force himself, was born over there. He would love to
be stationed there, but hasn’t had the opportunity yet.

It has many, many wonderful memories for us!

[luvie]

Darn sure is! That new laptop can do its stuff! LOL!

*HUG*
I’m so sorry you had to go through that!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mayor, for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

[luvie]

Yes, we were very close because we had no one else to
celebrate holidays with, but were lonely to see the ones
back home, too.

We had to make an emergency trip back home about 3 weeks
before our 1st Christmas over there to see my mom for the
last time and to attend her funeral. :D Sort of put a damper
on everything after that.

It was very hard to say goodbye to my Dad and fly off to finish
the rest of our tour. He did come to visit us, and that helped some.

[luvie]

Well, that is a nice brand, and I am sure that I feel the
same way! It’s our “lifeline” to friends! (((hugs)))

[Mrs.Nooseman]

LOL

You got that right.It’s faster then my old PC.

[luvie]

Thank you, Sis. It was very hard to go through....so far
away from home....

[MS.BEHAVIN]

I know it was, Hon.
*HUG*

[luvie]

Va....roooooom! LOL!

[Mrs.Nooseman]

The prize was right as well.

Yup,now I can visit with all of my FRiends again,without having to boot someone of the computer and the best thing is that I now can FReep and watch my favorite shows.;)

[MS.BEHAVIN]

I forgot to congratulate you on your new laptop!
Congratulations!
