2. My dear liberaltrucker!
Thanks for coming by tonight....Those girls are my daughters....

And the guy is of course, my husband. We had a blast at my younger daughter's home...

I'm happy that you at least had a yummy buffet on the road. You will be home at Christmas, won't you?

I hope so!

:loveya: :pals:

15. Hey my dear barb162!
You snuck in....I almost missed your post!

Thanks for the compliments.......

Even though I bore those girls, I wonder how they got to be so darned pretty...

Amazing.....

4. OK, you got relaxing, you got hubby, you got daughters,
you got the refrigerator covered with pictures (a sure gauge of the happiness of any house)...I'd judge you had a good day.

6. My dear Redstone!
This is my younger daughter's house...but my fridge has stuff all over it too......

We did have a lovely time....It was a very good day.

The drive up and back was NOT the best part of it....but you gotta deal.....

9. That's why we didn't drive anywhere.
Jeez, I need to get to bed. There was a post earlier that made me go read over some chapters of the novel I started in 1977 and never finished and probably never will...but there's some good stuff there. Really good stuff if I say so myself and I do.

Yes, it is late for you......

I'm sure that there's good stuff, really good stuff in your writing...

You might want to consider spending an hour or so a day working on finishing it.....

24. Ah, my sharita, we never talk these days.
And won't tonight unless you respond in the next 5 minutes, because I REALLY gotta hit the rack soon.

If not, hope you had a rippin' good time over the holidays, and if I already asked your Thanksgiving and you told me about it and I forgot, well, sorry...I forgot. I do that. Especially when tired.

Got some editing done tonight, so there's something. And did a
pretty cool animation for one of my customers today:

(at least I think it's not bad and expect they'll like it).

Good to hear from you again. Back to work for me tomorrow.
You?

the message. Cut and paste the address into your browser, and
you'll be able to see the animation.

27. Ah, my dear Joani....
Thanks for your very kind words.......

I can scarcely believe what strong and lovely and talented girls I have.....

I think that, with luck, each generation does a better job of raising the kids than the previous one did.....

At least, I think that me and my husband, and my brother and his wife, all did a much better job than our parents did.....

Who knows?

Anyhow, we did have a lovely day..... :hug: :pals:

35. I wish I could see your photos...
but mom's computer has (pardon me for this term) "blocked your cookies." Now, I'm sure that your "cookies" are perfectly wonderful, so please do not take offense. I suspect that this particular computer prefers cheese, or some kind of salty snack.

I will be delighted to look at your photos when I return home tomorrow. :)

I am so sorry that your mom's computer has blocked my pics......

But you will see them once you get back to your own place...

And if for some reason you can't see them, just send me your email address, and I'll send you the original files.....

I am NOT offended, of course not, my dear....:loveya: :hug:
