    Good Morning!

    I'm an accountant, so today is one of the busiest days of the year for me. We have year-end payroll checks, finishing year-end inventory, last check run of the year, etc. Tomorrow will be a short day, so we cram as much into today as possible, and leave tomorrow for last minute cleanup and review.

    Today is also my 27th wedding anniversary. I'm thankful that my wife Connie has put up with me all of these years. Dinner tonight, and I'm not counting points.

    Morning Gang~

    Groundhog Day! Off to visit Ortho Doc for post-op follow up and then lunch with DW at one of our favorite restaurants. Walked around mall yesterday for an hour - was VERY tired/sore last night as a result...

    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Connie and Steve! Enjoy yourselves. Any big plans?

    Have an inspired day, gang!

    Good morning BBB Friends. Happy Anniversary to our newest ??? (what are we? members? participants? curmudgeons?) Either way, Happy Anniversary Steve. My work week is the opposite. We are technically working but no one is around or doing much. The cold is getting better. Not gone, but better. DW had a follow up Dr. visit for her store bought knees and now she is back in PT. I guess the range could be a little better. All in all she is doing well though. Skip, make sure you follow the Dr. advice. His doctorate is in medicine. B)

    Good Morning BBB - sun is shining and snow continues to melt. Enough now to see the lawn in spots once again. I have a feeling that is going to be short lived.

    Sad Debbie Reynolds passed away so soon after her daughter. Tough for the surviving family, wow.

    Happy Anniversary to Steve and his DW! And to Lisa and Jim too, hope your time in Chi Town is amazing!

    DS1 hits the road back home today. We really all had a great few days together!

    I think I'll begin decoration tear down soon and get the house back to normal.

    Have a great day BBB!

    Good Afternoon,
    Been working on month end and year end also.
    Have a stomach virus that's taken hold and will not let lose, been aggravating me since Monday. Have stopped some drugs hoping to slow down, no help yet.
    Heavy rain as I came in this morning, but I was still in office before 6:30; just took about 20 minutes longer. Folks would get in left lane doing less than 50 mph and turn their 4 way flashers on.
    60's this morning and dropping, should be freezing in the morning; reckon shorts and t-shirts will be put away again for a while.
    DMIL returned yesterday, was hoping for a few more days; reckon they could not take each other. One of her granddaughters and DMIL both came in complaining about other. Seems DMIL was not included in what they were doing. But as usual it did not take her long to find her wine glass and I did not see her without it rest of evening.
    Congratulations to Lisa and Jim and also to Connie and Steve, 25 and 27 years takes a whole lot of work. I know we are working on 43 years, marriage is always a work in process.
    Skip, have they said when they intend to clean out arteries and put patch on? I do not recommend allowing them to delay!!!
    Lee, hope you are enjoying day off.
    Mary, enjoy detactifying for some reason it's always more fun putting up stuff than taking down.
    Raine, wait till July for Cards then they can be for 2016 and 2017.
    Enjoy the Day,
    Sam I am

    Afternoon BBB.

    Happy Anniversary, Steve! Today is Lisa and Jim also? Congrats to them as well.

    Skip, I know you are going to get treatment for your artery ASAP. Please keep us informed.

    Out early with Babe in a cornfield this AM waiting for geese to fly into decoys on the ground. We came up with a big "goose egg". We didn't fool 'em today. Good training for Babe to sit still for a long period.

    We usually wait until the 12th day of Christmas or after to tear down decorations.


    BBB OP ;-)

    Ortho follow up today.....good report....x-rays of repair look good....Interesting to see the "erector" set inside your body! Pins/Rods/Screws - quite interesting. Begin aqua therapy in three weeks and reevaluate with MRI in three months....

    Heavy rains on/off here all day too, Sam. My Dad (in Maine) said they're predicting a N'oreaster with 18"+ over next day or two. Ugh!

    Cheers

    Good afternoon
    Late to the party.
    Happy anniversary Steve and to Lisa
    My sis and I went and saw dad yesterday. He's not doing well. Honestly, I will be surprised if he leaves upright.
    I'm pooped. Long day here.
    Have a great night
