10492. arkymalarky - 7/22/2004 7:47:08 AM You know you're welcome any time, No, so if something does work out, no matter how close to Thanksgiving, just call. I'll assure you, we're not going ANYWHERE Thanksgiving (except for the one day to do the relative pig-out thing).
Which reminds me: Bob and I didn't get to celebrate our 20th anniversary because it was right after his dad died and Bob was feeling awful from the diabetes, which he didn't know he had yet, and I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to save the Rural World from our Evil Governor anyway.
This year it just so happens that we're both off that day because it falls after Parent/teacher conferences at both our schools. So I think we may go back up to Eureka and rent a cottage for a couple of days. Either that or Hot Springs at the Arlington, which is what I'd like--do the baths, which I've never done, see Garvan Gardens, ride a White Duck (just kidding), etc. 10493. arkymalarky - 7/22/2004 7:48:08 AM But we won't be in AK, either. You'd have to hook up with Labwabbit for that one. ;-> 10494. Max Macks - 7/22/2004 8:35:22 AM Hey there I just threw my hook line and sinker
in here
to see if there were any fish .

but here it is still july and I read posts about
Thanksgiving !! 10495. judithathome - 7/22/2004 11:13:03 AM You just never know what you'll find in the Cafe, Max! 10496. judithathome - 7/22/2004 11:16:21 AM Arky, we'll be comig in a rental car. Keoni is getting one while they fix his truck at the body shop and we decided to use the rental for the trip so I can drop my car off to have the fuel pump changed out over that weekend.
I think it would make it up there and back but the way our luck has been running with cars lately, why chance it? 10497. Magoseph - 7/22/2004 8:25:43 PM Hi, Max, it's about time you show up and say hello to your friends here! Do you have some new paintings to show us?
Hello, Mac. 10498. Macnas - 7/22/2004 9:30:20 PM Hello Mago.
Clear blue sky, 20 deg.C, all is well. 10499. alistairconnor - 7/22/2004 9:36:05 PM Lucky beggar. 34° and thunderstorms over here. 10500. Macnas - 7/22/2004 9:44:01 PM And are you still bicycling around? 10501. alistairconnor - 7/22/2004 9:51:18 PM Oh no, finished that last Saturday. Just rotting in a training course this week.
Taking the girls for a cycling trip this weekend. Gentle stuff, the younger one only just learned to ride.
Here : La Voie Verte, former railway line and canal towpath, a couple of hours drive north of us in southern Burgundy. 10502. alistairconnor - 7/22/2004 9:55:22 PM Actually the Tour de France is, right now, crossing paths with where we were riding yesterday : Jex and Mijoux, in the southern Jura.
I am gratified to see that the Col de la Faucille, which they are currently climbing, is a Category 2 hill. I "won" that particular stage by a fairly wide margin last week. I raised my arms in triumph on the line, but there was no crowd of screaming or spitting fans. 10503. Magoseph - 7/22/2004 10:59:38 PM Ali, replace your camera's batteries this time. Don't forget.
Mac, we have the same weather as you have today. Right now, it's still cool and crisp outside. Luckily there are no mosquitos right now. I'm going to walk to town, one mile to and from won't kill me, a cinch. 10504. Macnas - 7/22/2004 11:09:18 PM You're lucky you didn't fall off! I hope you are not giving such a poor example to your daughters....
You know, you might be interested in this, something to think about maybe.
10505. Macnas - 7/22/2004 11:11:57 PM Mago, I might complain about a lot of things in Ireland, but the lack of mosquitos is not one of them. 10506. alistairconnor - 7/22/2004 11:53:48 PM let's see... St Patrick put them all in a sack and threw them into the sea?
Yes, I would like to do Ireland. Not sure the hills are steep enough for our crew but...
... more likely it would be too expensive for the likes of us.
I'm going to propose Normandy for next year, if I can work out the logistics. But heck. With a cheap flight... I might ask these people for a quote, after all. 10507. Macnas - 7/23/2004 12:07:29 AM Well, I was thinking more in line of the family, when the girls are a bit older, as opposed to the hardened cyclists you gad about with. 10508. iiibbb - 7/23/2004 5:32:51 AM you want? 10509. Ulgine Barrows - 7/23/2004 2:46:44 PM ''When life gives you a smoking ban, make a Nicotini''
goes a favorite quote from Ft. Lauderdale's Larry Wald. Persecuted puffers flock to Wald's bar, Cathode Ray, to order up the Black Lung. The drink mixes a mystery concoction of nicotine-infused vodka with a darkening Kahlua shot.
I was never a quitter! 10510. judithathome - 7/24/2004 3:29:11 AM Our electricity went out at noon yesterday while I was at the gym. Came home to no digital clocks,no air conditioning, no computer and no TV. Half the afternoon I read a book, then I went shopping as it started to get warmer in the house. Came home and went to dinner with my neighbors and Keoni met us at the restaurant on his way home from work.
We all get home and our electricity is STILL out. So we changed into cool clothes and went down to our neighbor's house (the dinner companions of earlier) and lolled around in their pool til the electricity finally came back on...after 11pm.
Their backyard looks like a manicured, exotic jungle. He has banana tress all over the place and blooming plumeria...it smells just like Hawaii. His pool is tiled in dark blue and it was simply wonderful out there. Plus the wife had baked an apple pie earlier in the day before the outage and we ate that with melting ice cream. Had to do our part to help them with the ice cream; couldn't let it go to waste! 10511. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 7/24/2004 4:43:19 AM My barn burned down , , , and now I can see the moon!
