And we fell in love with a 12-year old girl, one of our son's foster sisters, while we were there. I'd go back in a heartbeat for her.

Morning all. What an exciting Christmas you will have Aeolius. I do miss all the little kids excitment at Christmas.
It is Friday so everybody have a good day. It looks like a wonderful week end. All you winter folks can say what you want 65 degrees is great anytime of the year.

Jane, if Pappy wins that BIG LOTTERY and brings home all of his new friends, those Big Bill$, you can bet being around him will be like seeing an excited child at Christmas! Of course, I doubt Pappy will want us playing with his 'new toys'........

JANE!!! Be careful getting on and off that Armfield soapbox!! Let us know if you need any help! You're doing a good job over there, we just don't want you getting banged up more!! 
For those of you who haven't checked it out, there is some good discussion going on about the land the Armfield developers promised to the town ...... Will they be held to the deal????? ♥♥♥

That's just so sweet! Is there any possibility that you could get her too?? I don't know too much about overseas adoption, but I'd think a 12 year old would be as difficult to place over there as they are over here.
You and your wife are really special people.

Mawnin' all.
Good fer you, Aelious! Them's some lucky young'uns.
So that fog out yonder's real this time, huh. Good to know.
Once I get my hands on the loot, Mr Jim, I'm gonna go over to the Bank o' Stewart an' get Mr Mike to dig up a mason jar an' gimme some change so's I can spread it around.
Pappy's got work, work, work today.

Sir Paul is a Grandpa again! Bailey Linda Olwynn Willis was born Dec. 8 to his daughter Stella.
I find it ironic that she was born on Dec. 8, which is the anniversary of the day John Lennon died. It is also ironic that her other child, a son named Miller, was born on Feb. 25, which was George Harrison's birthday.....
(On-line commentators have already noted that the new baby's initials are BLOW.... ) ♥♥♥

Speaking of the lottery , couldnt GCS appeal to Raleigh to get emergency money to rebuild EGHS, I do realize that our local state representatives do not have much pull in Raleigh but if the parents that are from EGHS put pressure on maybe we could get some lottery money.

Is everyone out Christmas shopping or partying?
Postings have slowed to a trickle.
Even the spammers are slowing down.

ScubaJ............what's the latest on the feet?
I talked to Hairbrush the other night, she told me you were using an office chair with wheels as an wheel chair? Might have a new invention there.

Mawnin' all.
Pappy's been busy with this an' that. This wasn't too hard but that wore me out.
Shoppin's purty brutal out yonder if'n you're old, poor, an' slow, but I'll join you online fer a shoppin' party, Macca.

Y'know, Pappy, I don't consider myself to be much of a shopper. But yesterday I went out and, with lists in hand and a few general ideas of what I was looking for, and I made a little dent in what needs to be done.... Spent about 4 hours and about that much money.... You still got that equipment so we can print up some more, right??? Or maybe I could buy some of your medicine to sell at a small profit????♥♥♥
I did confirm what I already know though.... The parking lots are generally worse than the stores!!!

You're right, Pappy! I have noticed I don't get nearly as tired when I shop online! What did we EVER do without the "internets" (courtesy of "W"!)?  ♥♥♥
