Walking Round In Women's Underwear (sung to the Winter Wonderland tune, go ahead try it, I'll wait...........see, told you so)

Well if this ain't just JimFrigginDandy; another snow. I'm glad i drove through the night to get home last Friday, because lo and behold we had another snow all day Saturday.....and this was a biggun.....6-7 inches, by far the biggest since we moved here oh so many years ago.
But we were able to get FOOD NOW to Dink (a loaf of bread) and went out and spun around a few times in Jay and Jackson's old truck. SWMBO asked if that old truck is the best we had for driving in the snow; told her no, it's actually the worst, but it is definitely the cheapest thing we have so if we go in a ditch we haven't lost as much. That really made her happy!
So it snowed, everything was canceled, we got up Sunday morning and made mimosas and looked at it. Didn't go anywhere all day. Piddled in the office, paid bills, got caught up on the mail, watched the playoffs; it was a good day, best I remember anyway.
Couldn't go sledding because we don't have a sled, or a hill for that matter. Hush MeeMAW I'm typing on the danged old internet. SWMBO bought a sled 20 years ago and I told her only rich kids have sleds, didn't snow again for 5 years. We did have a lot of fun on Shannon Drive in Sanford way back when; but we gave the sled to a PTO thrift store when we moved. I'm so sorry.

Hey Davis, can't make it to the office, the snow is up to the window! DOHHHHHHHHHHHH, forgot, this shot was taken from my office window.
And here is the backyard, and yes, it was pretty.

And here is the snowfall in all of its glory Saturday afternoon. Very nice

How did I do with this week's entry MeeMAW? Was my language a little nicer? Little closer to a G rating? Didn't even say anything about that Fu King restaurant in Florida did I? Oooooooooooooooops
Off to Las Vegas tomorrow, picture Elvis singing it, hear the bongo drums; yeah, kinda like that....................Viva, Viva, Vivaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Las Vegas!

WARNING WARNING WARNING!!!

Some of the following blog is graphic and should only be viewed by consenting adults. If you are seated next to someone who is not an adult, please attach your oxygen mask before administering oxygen to others..........................

Anyway, I never understood how that robot on Lost in Space knew to warn the Robinson's about any type of approaching danger from afar; yet always let that pervert Dr. Zachary Smith take their son out and put him in peril each and every week. But what do I know?

Anyway, proceed with caution, no photo shop used in any of these pictures; those of you who know me know I'm not smart enough to use photo shop. I took each and everyone of these shots

From somewhere in Florida, read the small sign

From Lake City, FL, a Chinese restaurant.

.................with a sense of humor. How good was the food? Well, why don't you insert your first caption here.

From Lumberton, NC; a movie marquee. Why is the top line inserted? Is that necessary? Really? Come on.......Lumberton for goodness sakes

Daytona Beach FL: now this is a real American classic

Ironic this car in Daytona, don't you think?

Snow in Morehead City today, yea!

Sorry if you were offended by any pictures, but as they say in Lake City "if you can't take a joke, fill in the second caption here"
In town all week, Las Vegas next Saturday

Let It Snow Let It Snow I'm Going to Florida

I've had enough of this crap. We woke up to a pretty snowfall Monday morning; that's two for the year but who is counting? I am that's who! I'm tired of this stuff, and it's too damn cold for my achy bones. But enough griping and on to our story.........

We awakened Monday morning to an enchanted snowfall covering our beautiful Crystal Coast.......I can't write this. It snowed and Jackson had to leave early Monday morning instead of Tuesday. Shoot.

But the previous Sunday we went to redeem our Christmas presents from Jay & Holly at this place in Fayetteville http://www.paracletexp.com/ Quite an experience flying around like Peter Pan, doing acrobatic somersaults, sweeping up to the top and then down to the bottom like a majestic bald eagle.......OK, not really. It was fun, and I got a few little snippets of soaring, but most of the time I was flopping around like a fish on the deck. Jackson got the hang of it and did well. Quite an experience, I recommend it if you're in the area.
Here is a preview of your Christmas card next December; act surprised:

And here is the snow, yes it was pretty.

Seriously though, I need to fly to St. SomeWhere. Working in Florida all next week; maybe, just maybe it will be a little warmer there. Want me to pick you up some citrus? How about one of those gator heads?

Start the music Jay.................

First things first; happy 89th birthday Daddy. Going to take him an El's hot dog (mustard and extra onions) mid-afternoon to stimulate a little food intake.

Tip of the cap to Santa Claus for his overnight construction of this playground for Cooper and Keelyn. After a New Year's Eve celebration at the High's in Durham we went down to Sanford to celebrate 2011. I would recap the "eve" for you but, well..........you know.

Cooper showed how to use the climbing wall (imagine Indiana Jones music here, not the last edition, the three good ones)

We had fun with Heather and Kevin last night; SWMBO and Bev tried to scare her by telling about the fun of giving birth. Great dinner conversation.............

In Ohio, West Virginia and North Carolina all week, who knows where I'll be next week?
