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.

    G'Morning

    My days are all screwed up. Feels like it should be Friday.

    Enjoying the time off and just relaxing.

    Lunch with DB and BSIL/DN yesterday. Trekked to the outlet mall next door from where we met to buy some new jeans - as nothing fits anymore.

    Realtor and Broker coming today to preview house from some other agents to drum up some excitement. Hoping to see a contract in January (that'd be nice) to take some of this stress off.

    Glad the hair is "fixed".....off to H&N's today and tomorrow to see favorite beard/hair and nail techs to give them a Christmas bonus.

    Cheers for a warm day! Freezing our baguettes off up here. Mary / Kelly are ya'll getting pummeled by this vortex/cyclone storm?

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Nice day yesterday with a lot of walking, sight-seeing, people watching, and good eats.
    • Today is our 49th anniversary. Nice dinner and a show this evening but most importantly, we have reservations at a yarn shop this afternoon. DW has the owners cell number in case we miss her.
    • Looks like it is going to be a bitter cold weekend in our neck of the woods.

    Good morning

    Calm before the storm I guess. Suppose it kick in later. All I want is ds1 to board and land at 4pm safely.

    Big celebration here is tomorrow with our 7. I'm hoping the roads are all cleaned up by tomorrow evening. Let the festivities begin.

    Happy Anniversary Kris and Dennis!

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Happy anniversary, Dennis and Kris!

    Had the entire family over all afternoon and evening, yesterday. The grandkids and Sassy opened presents, we feasted, played games and watched A Christmas Story. A great day. Then, after everyone went home, Rita learned that her brother passed away, in the Philippines. She Facetimed with her niece, but will learn more today, I am sure. His health hadn't been good for a while. Very sad end to the day.

    Our weather will get bad tonight. Snow will move in then turn to freezing rain, with up to an inch of ice forecast. Glad we have nowhere to go tomorrow. Hope the power doesn't go out.

    Morning BBB

    Happy anniversary Dennis and Kris.

    Condolences Rita.

    Not much on the agenda today. Need to walk over to grocery store for coffee and yogurt. And maybe something to mix with our tequila.

    Family hasn’t said much about their weather. I think mostly just cold there with little snow forecasted. I think they are planning to meet at dads on Sunday afternoon/evening.

    Mornin' BBB

    Happy Anniversary Kris and Dennis! You crazy kids.
    Sincerest condolences to Rita. So hard even when it not unexpected.
    Are you going to try and stay where you are, weight wise, Skip? Congrats on the NSV?
    So Steph, you didn't say whether you liked the cinnamon bun and chili thing or not.
    You will survive this too, Lou.

    BBB OP ;-)

    If the chili is good I like the combo. Most Nebraska chili is too soupy and bland for me. Sweet and spicy is a good combo.

    Condolences to Rita and Dave and her family.

    Been snowing here now since 10am

    25F is balmy here in Wisconsin, not so much in TX. Think high end Bourbon, Lou. Warms the bones.

    I'm officially unofficially ready for tomorrow. Just need to pick up some ordered trays at the grocery store tomorrow at 10a. Good to have F150 Big blue and a driver :blush:
