Hi Scuttlebutts, I like the 20's girls! Much better than the ghosts, thanks. I went to a friend's 50th birthday party for lunch today. Why is everyone getting so old!?! I guess it is better than the alternative. I was good, I didn't eat the cake. I gained 3 lbs. from eating Valentine's candy, now I need to lose it. My sailor's 25th birthday is on Wednesday, so I will be baking her some pumpkin bread tomorrow and shipping it to her. Navy Hugss ~ Vicky

I don't really know what kind of car it is, I just thought it was funny. I like the mermaid, but not the beer, I prefer tequila. How about a ship? Here is the USS Joesph Strauss:

Hi Check my page for my family Christmas Photo. We had a wonderful Christmas. We went to church Christmas Eve, then went looking at lights. There is one house in Sutter Crek, that goes all out w/ displays. They had three train sets, my grandson kept running back and forth to all of them. He loved it! Christmas morning he open his stocking, he took each piece of candy out one at a time and each time said "ohh, candy" Lol.

Well, I went to see my asthma Dr. this morning and got the flu shot, plus more drugs. Feeling a little better, but not ready to workout. I hope to make the Parade of lights downtown tomorrow night, then the Christmas program Sunday night. And I am counting down the days (7 days) until I pick up my grandson and take him to the airport to meet his Mommy! Her A school @ GL has Christmas stand down Dec.18th.
What is everyone else doing?
