I will probably go to Florida to see my parents after the New Year.<br /><br />Have the merriest of Christmases and I hope Santa brings you something extra special. ;)Gannon Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636246789013520445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-88144007506848080082009-12-10T20:46:15.619-05:002009-12-10T20:46:15.619-05:00Another ooh-n-aah look at the pool in the garden t...Another ooh-n-aah look at the pool in the garden that rightfully belongs at a resort, but is Fo's humble home where drinks are served 'round the clock.<br /><br />Christine, m'dear, I'm so-so-so PLEASED that WLG was nominated.

All pink cheeks and sweet smile. ;-)<br /><br />I was thinking the holidays would be rather quiet, but then I started listing all the stuff I'll be doing. I've got an office party tomorrow, then I'll be meeting up with friends on Saturday at my local rwa chapter. Then a party with mystery writer friends on Sunday. A dinner party the following weekend at my brother's house, then driving to mom's for Christmas, then up to San Francisco to see the brothers and families for New Year's. There should be lots of eating, drinking and carrying on -- for which I refuse to apologize! LOL<br /><br />Anna, big congrats to you and Christine for the RT nominations. Ooh, hey, and to me, too!

Or is that spirits? *grin* I love all the photos and I love seeing that fabulous smile of yours. Can't wait to see it in person again next summer!<br /><br />Things have been a little low key for me so far this holiday season. I went to a ladies Xmas luncheon at church last weekend and a Hospice Festival of Trees fundraising luncheon on the 1st. Tomorrow night is our neighborhood Christmas party though and that's always guaranteed to be a good time. We have a very sociable neighborhood! *vbg*<br /><br />Congrats on nabbing the GR, Lime!pjpuppymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18234101901405553621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-33282181406291838022009-12-10T17:55:48.320-05:002009-12-10T17:55:48.320-05:00Toby and I had numerous conversations, V.

He looks like a rather intelligent chap!<br /><br />Christmas at our house is low-key. We haven't put up our tree and decorations yet. Our cats usually love playing with the baubles and tinsel. I'm having a few friends over for lunch on the day. My hubby already presented me with my major gift--a shiny new push bike! We'll probably go for a ride after lunch and work off the turkey and pudding.<br /><br />x VanessaAuthornesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06345016028101633473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-32432934362967591002009-12-10T17:36:57.057-05:002009-12-10T17:36:57.057-05:00Trish, I'm seeing on Facebook that a lot of pe...Trish, I'm seeing on Facebook that a lot of people in the U.S. are shivering in their shoes today.

These days, most of my 'younger' contingent get cash. They're all chronically short of fun money so I figure that's the best thing I can give them.
