Paging Carrol......paging Carrol.......please pick up the nearest courtesy phone.......paging Carrol.....
I got a post card from Wally. He has made it to warmer waters.....took a slight detour and is currently circling Hawaii. His girlfriend, Linda Sue, is right by his big side. He plans on taking hula lessons.....and learning how to surf......on a board.

Paging Carrol......paging Carrol........your party is trying to reach you.....please pick up the nearest courtesy phone.........

I'm coming, I'm coming...........(puff, puff, wheez)..I'm running.....Almost there..........

Wally said WHAT????? And you, Mom, BELIEVED that? Hawwaii? Are you KIDDING? Since when is Hawaii a "slight detour" from Iraq??? Remember that I said Wally wanted to go mall shopping? Well, we reached "Tents O' Stores" mall outlet and Wally stopped dead in his tracks or whatever it is that whales make:cool:He told me that he was going to go shopping and have a Jamba Juice with sea kelp (of, course). I said "no", he said "yes" and then he pulls out (no - I DON'T KNOW FROM WHERE AND I DIDN"T ASK!!) an American Express card - YOUR American Express card!!!!! BTW, where the heck was that card when I asked you for it?? You don't want to know the looks on people's faces when we slithered into that mall. I mean, just how nonchalant and inconspicuous can you be with a whale by your side (and in sunglasses, no less)?
And that nonsense about his girlfriend.....I'll tell you about the "girlfriend". Mom, I think you have a real problem. The girlfriend is the 55 year old toothless, 400lb waitress from Jamba Juice:eek:!! That's right - no whalini. We're talkin' a 2 footed girlfriend from the southern part of Iraq. Hey, doesn't "Linda Sue" sound southern?? Wally promised her the good life by the sea so now they're in love. Love must be really blind. CAN'T SHE SEE HE'S A WHALE!!!! Maybe it's the sunglasses. So now I've got 2 dummies with me. We are off, again, me, the whale and the girlfriend from h--l!

lol !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Sus,

stopping by to say hello, hope you are having this same warm spell, it is delightful, 50 degrees this morning when I took out the pups at 5:30, amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

time is flying by:):):):):):) I did some shopping on line and it has been fun to get all these packages delivered, a new experience though going out shopping and seeing all the decorations and carrying home shopping bags was always fun as well. Hubby says on line shopping is the end of civilization as we know it:rolleyes::rolleyes: I told him he was being a grumpy old man. He said no, it just ruins the whole experience for him!!!!!!!!

ho, ho, ho

Did you see the cute Amerian Greeting card on line? It has dogs for the twelve days of Christmas, you get a new card for 12 days!!!!!

love,
addy

I cannot stop laughing from your post and then Carrol's--too funny, I needed that.

Addy is all ready for Christmas and I am not--still need more presents...:eek: and nothing under the tree yet; not sure Ella will be able to resist. :D

How is Bailey doing with the tree since it is her first Christmas??? Ella is just a tease trying to grab what she can like the ribbon in the garland on the railing of the staircase.

Happy Thursday!!!:):D:p

Hi Addy-

No-I did not see the American Greetings card online. Do you have a link?
I know what you mean-I miss the shopping experience too,..:(...but here there just isn't any. I have to go back to Annapolis or VA to experience that. :( I did that for a couple of years, but don't have interest in that anymore. I have always done a great deal of shopping online...ever since we moved down here. It is so much easier and I just don't have the resources available to me that I have online. I am on a first name basis with the UPS man!!;):D Tell your husband if he doesn't watch it he'll get lumps of coal in his stocking.:eek:

I got my hair cut today. We're working towards a different cut. I've had the same one for 38 years now. It is so easy to take care of and I don't have to worry about the wind. Actually that is not true, I did let it grow out some and tried a permanent somewhere back 36-37 years ago. It's nice to see something a little different start to take shape.

Bailey ate one of the peaks in the border of our quilt this AM. First time she's ever chewed on something that wasn't hers, besides Bob and me. I hope this is not going to become a problem. We've started leaving her with the run of the house when we go out and it's worked out well so far.

I'm down to one project for Christmas, plus wrapping. I think I'm okay. I have a full week yet.

We do have the warmer weather. Bob and I were sitting on the front porch yesterday afternoon, with Bailey, and I told him....."We're going to pay for this weather, you know." It has been so unusual. We've only had one night where it got down to 32 degrees. Most of the days have been in the 50s and 60s.

Well, HO-HO-HO.....I must go. Keep the spirit going. We all need you!!

Love,
Sus

Hi Marie Irene-

Bailey has been mostly uninterested in the Christmas decorations. She has sniffed out the tree and one or two of the ornaments, but has not done anything untoward. The problem we have at the moment is that she's become quite a barker. :mad: We live on a cul-de-sac and whenever someone comes down this far to turn around, she barks.:mad::mad: And not just once!! :mad::mad::mad: I'm going to have to reign in the barking.

I'm interested to see how she does with presents for her. It should be a fun morning and I'll be taking lost of pictures, as will Ryan.

My shopping is done...but I need to wrap and there's one project I want to get done. I'm kind of enjoying this relaxed pace. Hugs to Ella.

Love,
Susan

Oh, addy is so not done with much of anything and addy is also sick:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I just called in all my asthma meds for refills:(:(:(

Susan, a new do???? I am so wanting a new do again. I plan to go after the holidays. In the mean time headbands are coming in handy:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Did you know they are back in style? (NOT:p)

Anyway, not too many decorations going on down here in the non basement. The spiders tried to make a pretty snowflake design on the one small window. A few mice stopped by and brought some long pieces of vegatation I was going to try to use for a garland. I found an old small tree made of some silver looking tinsel stuff and a few stary birds flew in the hole, dropping of some acorns. I thought they would make nice ornaments. So little orphan addy is hangin' out, waiting for the BIG DAY with visions of pieces of pecan pie dancing in her head. Or was that only for Turkey Day?

HOW MANY MORE DAYS TIL SANTA COMES?

HARK!!
