Good Morning all.....
Getting ready for Kevin's 50th birthday party that I postponed because of the weather and the fact that he's been working so much...almost had to cancel again because he's working tomorrow and thought he had to be in at midnight but thankfully he don't.
Have a great day 
Good morning.....
I guess my post didn't show up yesterday......I had Kevin's 50th b'day last night and we had a great time. It's so nice to get together with family and friends
Enjoy the day everyone.....
OMG I can't believe I had to post today for yesterdays post to show up!!!
Helo All. Hope you had a Happy & Joyous Thanksgiving. Last week Carol & I were on a cruise for my birthday and Thanksgiving. The waiter on our ship sang Happy Birthday to me and gave us a little butter cream cake. Very thoughtful guy. While I had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with Turkery and all the fixings, Carol was not feeling well (one of her IBS attacks) on Thanksgiving day. She did manage to eat two shrimp cocktails and a baked potato. She found out a while back that she can handle those two things when she is not doing too well and the waiter took good care of her by giving her what she could eat. Just had to delete 135 items from my e-mail list! Mostly black Friday ads. Go Giants tonight!!!

HAPPY 6OTH BIRTHDAY PATSY......HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!!!
Hi Everyone,
Cold out there today...have a good day.. 
Happy Birthday Patsy,
Yea I guess we all are really 39. Add 40 for me but 39 sounds good. Just like Jack Benny.
Judy, it has been pretty cool here in Florida too. This afternoon is SUPPOSED to warm up to 80 degrees. I will believe it when it happens. Mornings have been in the 40's and 50's since we got back from the cruise last Sunday.
Hey Prodigal Son, What is the temperature in Minnesota. My neighbor just got back from a Thanksgiving trip and she froze up there even though she is a native Minnesota person.
Hi Warren, Wow in the 80's sounds so nice just about now...
Have a great day...
Good morning all.....
Happy 60th Birthday Patsy!!!!
Judy....I had to tell Kevin about the party because I had to keep postponing it since he was working so much. I wanted to make sure he was there lol Your grandson is beautiful!!!!
Warren...wow 80 sounds HOT compared to here lol
Hi Anna and Prodigal son
Have a good day all......
Hi Just a thought...I think that all the old timers that have not been on the blog for a while, should come on today to wish Patsy a very special 60th birthday....since she is the one that has kept this blog alive for the past four years...you can always count on Patsy to be on everyday even its just to wish you a good day......
Hi Patsy:
I hope you enjoy your
day. A very Happy Birthday to you.
It was so good to see everyone on Saturday. Love you.............

GOOD MORNING, FRIENDS
T.G.I.F.
ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!!!!
JUDY.. WE NEED YOUR COUNTDOWN IF YOU HAVE TIME.
Okay, lets get something straight. I said the temp was predicted to reach 80, NOT in the 80's. By the way. It came close in Tampa, 78, but did not reach 80. We here in Sun City Center are usually a couple of degrees cooler then Tampa. I know the 78 seems very warm to you in the N.E. but the mornings in the 40's, and 50's are not warm to us at all. That is usualy late December. By January it will be colder then that for sure...People are sure decorating early this year. Of course the stores have had Christmas deco's on sale since the beginning of November. Th Halloween stuff came down and Christmas went up! I may start outside today but inside will wait until next week. We occasionly have cleaning girls come and they are due next Tuesday. After they leave I will start inside decorating.
Every day is T.G.I.F. when you are retired!!! 
HI WARREN.. I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL EVERYDAY IS FRIDAY FOR ME.
A COUPLE MORE YEARS..
HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH YOU & CAROL. HAVE FUN & BE CAREFUL
DECORATING OUTSIDE.
24 days until Christmas...........
Okay, I changed my Avitar twice. First was me in formal attire on the cruise and now in "casual" clothes on the cruise. Judy,thanks for the countdown. The other day you called for the "oldtimers" to come on the blog and wish Patsy a happy birthday. Good thought and you did get a little response. I am afraid that most of our oldtimers have deserted us for Facebook. That of course is their perogative but when we were worried here about the "Oldtimers" during "Sandy" it would have been nice if some of them could have at least come on here and let us know they were all right. I understand that some of them went on Facebook and told people there that they were okay but not on here. Too bad! 
Warren - I know its a shame so people have stopped coming on...I know sometimes I go days without coming on, but I love to hear what's going on with the blog. Maybe now that the holidays are here some people will stop by to say hello.
By the way you look fantastic in your new picture!!!
23 days until Christmas..................
Good Morning.....Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!!
Judy....thanks for the Christmas countdown
Patsy....Is OLA having the Christmas Village this year? I heard they weren't 
Warren....Hopefully some will come back, even if its just to say hi.

The following is a story I wrote last year. I think I posted it then. If I did that's okay, it is still appropriate for the season. The following story was written by me. While the concept behind it is old, I copied from no one.
A CHRISTMAS STORY BY OLD GOAT
(To keep all lawyers happy I will admit that much of this story is adapted from different author’s writings. I especially pay homage to Matthew, Mark Luke & John who gave us the original.)
Little Johnny came to his father in early December and said ”Daddy, some of the boys in my class said Santa is make believe and a fake!” I told them that I would ask you and then I would know the truth. Well Daddy, what is the truth.
Son, first let me ask you if you enjoy giving gifts to people at Christmas time. Well yes Johnny said, I like the look in their eyes and the happiness in their face when they open them. I know I made someone happy. Son, the beginning of the Christmas story started in a stable over 2000 years ago. The baby Jesus was born and people came from far & wide to pay homage to him. Three kings came and brought gifts of Gold and precious fragrances . Gift giving started way back then. Some time later people began giving gifts to each other to show their love and gratitude to others. In different countries the one in charge of the gift giving was called different names. There was St. Nicholas, Father Christmas and many others including Santa Claus. Now Mommy & Daddy know that Santa has an awfully big task to get all the presents that people want all in one night, Christmas eve. So Mommies & Daddies all over the world pitch in and buy gifts and become Santa’s helpers.
It is easy to say, like your friends, no, there is no Santa. But the spirit of Christmas has prevailed for over those 2000 years since Jesus was born. I for one am not going to take the chance of saying that spirit does not exist because I want to wake up on Christmas morning and find many of the gifts I hoped for!
GOOD MORNING, FRIENDS
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL STORY, WARREN!!
& SO TRUE.
KEEP POSTING STORIES..YOU ALWAY HAVE THE BEST ONES.
HI DEB!!! HOW DID SHOPPING GO??
I NEED ONLY 2 MORE GIFTS & I AM DONE..(BUT I DID START
MONTHS AGO).LOL
EVERYONE, HAVE A GREAT DAY!!
