What a GREAT idea. I love it. Also, Alabama is home to Nascar's Talladega as well as to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.

Good morning, Mama_Bear! We look forward to this series (!) series and the opportunity for Freeper Enlightment, Edification & Encouragement, so we can be all we can be..:))

As for your imminent departure, I understand Australia already is preparing for your arrival....

The press room at The Sydney Blabber has headlines ready to roll, saying this:

WARNING - BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR ONE MAMA_BEAR
ON WALKABOUT FROM AMERICA !!!

This bear is both disarming and dangerous - comes 'bearing' gifs, and gives {{{{ Hugs }}}} at the slightest provocation!

Known to drip with honey to all within 5,000 miles, and smiles-a-lot....

The only way to placate her is to surrender and 'endure.'
That will be the appropriate reward for her capture of you..:))

She is our Very Finest Bear, Australia!

We love ya, Mama - - -

which one is MORE like the REAL Meekie, huh ???

LOL.....only the phantom knows!

[Mama_Bear]

Hi nic. I haven't had a chance to read yesterday's LONG thread, but I hear there was lots of fun and games. Isn't that always the way? Seems I am never around for the fun stuff.......could it be that everyone waits 'til I leave to break out the party hats? :-(

Cute Garfield graphic! LOL.

[sweetliberty]

Favorite song by Alabama....well, I love a lot of their songs, but I think my favorites are "If It Ain't Dixie" and "Pony Express". I'd post the words, but I don't know where to find them and I'm not sure I remember them all right off hand.

[MeekOneGOP]

hi, Meekie! Are we gonna behave ourselves today? :O)

Whyever would we do that, huh ??? :O)

[sweetliberty]

"My hope is to fall asleep immediately and wake up a few minutes later in Sydney"

One word....Xanax. LOL! I am SO jealous. Sounds like a wonderful time.

[Mama_Bear]

LOLOL! You are so cute!!! I love those graphics, especially the shopping cart bears! You're a jewel, Lady. You always brighten up my day. :-) Oops! There's another one of those Mama_Bear smiles! I can't help it!

I wish it were going to be 83 here today. Today's forecast is for 100. Bet it will still be warm on the corner tonight. Been looking forward to warm weather, but this is too HOT

[dutchess]

Hi Lori. What a terrific idea. There is so much within our own country that we can learn about and share. When are you leaving for the great downunder? Didn't realize it was coming up so fast!

[Billie]

Morning, Ms Bear, I think we have a winner, and the winner today is ALABAMA (I love that song, Sweet Home Alabama!). Now, Wyoming, just thing - in about two years YOU will get your day in the spotlight! ;)

[Mo1]

Of course, no post about Alabama would be complete without a mention of the University of Alabama's......

HA! .. you try telling that to my dad inlaw .. he went to Auburn

Back when I was first married, I bought him a University of Alabama cap ... big mistake, you should have seen the looks I got .. LOL

[sweetliberty]

Has Meekie been acting up lately?

Sorry I haven't been around in so long. I have been working myself senseless. Now, I am off for 11 days Yippee!!!!! Got lots of catchng up to do.

[sweetliberty]

Isn't Alabama where your hubby's from?

[LadyX]

Mornin' Aqua!
With your recommendation and how it sounds, think I'll try the recipe for pork chops soon.

I'll be a goor-may cook yet..:))
I produce Fancy Feasts for my cat all the time!

[dutchess]

Oops...had hoped to spend a little time here...but mother is "summoning" me...Hopefully I can wear her out so she'll take a little afternoon nap and I can take a little afternoon "freep"! See you all later (I hope!)

Lori & Billie....I think someone fell off the clothesline and is laying on the ground waiting to be picked up :o)

[sweetliberty]

I believe that Queensland is the home of Steve Irwin and the zoo that he often shoots from. Now I am really jealous! He is way up on my list of "most admired people."

[JustAmy]

Good Morning, Lori

Hope I catch you before you head for the airport. Have a wonderful time down under. We are looking forward to your future thread on Australia.

See you when you get back.

[Pippin]

HOWDY!

Of course I'm gonna behave!

AS ALWAYS!!!!

HEY! Why are you laughing?

[Mo1]

Yep .. he grew up in Huntsville, but the dad inlaws family is from Birmingham
