Pour yourself a mug of your favorite morning brew. Pull up a chair and join us for our morning roll call here on the BBB.

    Good Morning BBB
    Wonderful Christmas with a few friends and a new Traeger smoker/grill.
    Lobster spread and dill dip to start with veggies & crackers, Prime rib roast, popovers (AKA Yorkshire pudding), au gratin potatoes, roasted green beans with bacon, and gingered pear pie.
    Do good out there everyone.

    Nice outfit Clark, I mean Skip!

    Lisa's photos on fb show shes had a wonderful full house of Babies and visits with Babies!

    Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas day.

    Morning~

    Had a quiet but spectacular Christmas - even slept in today :smiley:

    Congrats that the proposal went off!

    FINALLY got me COVID results yesterday! (neg of course/thankfully). Whats up w/ DH and his COVID work mess in IN?

    Miss Miss Lisa!

    Today is DMIL birthday. Despite 12# extra pounds of ham in fridge - demands we go out for Prime Rib! Good grief.

    Cheers,

    Mornin ' BBB.

    Sending DS#2 home with duck and prime rib and other goodies. Get it out of the house! He is really thin from the stress of clerking for a judge and worrying about his bar exam. He can afford to eat it all.

    Going hunting with the girls in a while. DW driving DS#2 to Manhatten where he'll grab a subway to Brooklyn. Cost us $300 to Uber him home yesterday am. Well worth it though.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning BBB.

    We had a great Christmas, too. Kids loved their gifts, supper was tasty - and I didn't over indulge - and we talked well into the evening. I love talking to my DDIL. She is so smart, and so well informed, I always learn something or get a new perspective.

    Cleaning up the kitchen this morning, then I have another project on my lathe.

    Merry Christmas,
    DW has brought boxes up from storage and ready to start taking all decorations down, she would have started yesterday if I had not said anything.
    I'm cooking chicken and dumplings for tonight, mainly because chicken needs to be cooked and do not want to go out where so many families are from out of area.
    Tomorrow we will have leftovers from Christmas Eve.
    Congrats Mary,
    Urn is beautiful Dave but not ready for one, and having someone sitting on mantle is a little creepy.
    DDIL is better must not have been COVID, could have been not wanting to be with her in-laws
    Happy birthday to Skips DMIL, totally understand how she controls

    • Quiet but nice Christmas day. A wonderful meal, A Wonderful Life, James Bond and a Saints football game.
    • It's been really cold here. Should start warming a bit tomorrow.
    • Congrats to the newly betrothed.
    • Congrats on passing your test Skip. Now get DMIL some prime rib for her birthday.

    Good afternoon

    Not much to report. Ds and his gf are back in Wisconsin. Dh and his sleep is totally screwed up. He’s back at work now until 5 am. I did sleep in this am too.

    Our house is a mess and I’m sitting on my butt watching hallmark movies. Ha.
    I’ll clean up tomorrow.

    Have a great evening.

    Hi all

    We had a quiet day too. Today we drive to Williamsburg and drive around then went to a coffee roaster/kombucha brewery for a tasting.

    Doggies were super excited we are home.

    Congrats on your official new DDIL Mary.
