If you can't laugh with friends - who can you laugh with? Merry Christmas!1 -
Of course, Mr. Cooper was knee deep and scored 5 new toys!
And, showed off his "State of Nirvana"

For those that haven't enjoyed their Coffee yet, I apologize. For those who had plans for a big breakfast and no longer have an appetite, I apologize.
To the rest - Merry Christmas/Festivus!1 -
Good Morning!
Skip, I love the outfit, and I especially love your sense of humor. Merry Christmas, and have a very Blessed day!
I hope that you all enjoy your day with family and friends, and that this day will be special for each of you! Merry Christmas!0 -
Oh my goodness Mr. Cooper is SO DARN CUTE!!! And you are, too, Skip! Nice threads, and Merry Christmas!
We did our celebration yesterday, and it was lovely. All the kids were here, the dogs, lots of food and laughter and a friend of mine came, too. We ended the evening at my Dfil's church's Christmas Eve service, which we've been attending with him forever. (or 27 years for me!)
My favorite gift (I think) was a calendar Dd21 and her fiance had made for me. It's a 2018 Jim calendar! HA HA! It says "Man of Your Year: He's Bringing Sexy Back" and has silly pics of Dh from the past year. I love it!
I woke up super early today and spent it in some prayer and contemplation, and this is what came out of that. I hope you all have a blessed day!
In the dark and peaceful morning hour
While my family all still sleep
Festive twinkles spark a flame
Awakening the deep
Illuminating just a glimpse
Affirming my limitations
Of how God reaches boundless ends
Beyond my comprehensions
What I am sure of is simple, though
He created this and loves us
That life is short, so don’t waste time
On anything but kindness
By Jesus’ birth I rest assured
My God has been there, too
He hungered, bled, and wondered why
He laughed and played and grew
I want to wish you merry Christmas
But whatever your day holds
Take comfort that Immanuel means
You won’t walk through it alone

Good morning BBB friends.
My DW and I have been suffering some sort of respiratory crud for a while, as you know. Two days ago I found a small package in the mail. I opened it to find a small bottle of essential oils, blended to help improve the immune system - and it smells really good, too. The surprise gift was from Raine, here on BBB. What a thoughtful, caring person. Her kindness is representative of the attitude I see here every day (even from you and your sense of humor Skip and Lou). Whether you celebrate Christmas, or not, Rita and I send you all our heartfelt wishes for a joyous day. Peace.0 -
Merry Christmas BBB.
White Christmas here. Opening presents after Tom returns from church but for now all quiet and Jack on the treadmill.
Lisa - beautiful.
Bill - Love the elf onesie and Cooper gets cuter all the time.
Mary - I think it’s 11 Pipers piping
Do good out there everyone.0 -
We are all blessed for sure - LOVE this BBB family!
Wait....does that make me the outcast quirky Uncle?
Let me rethink this!
Hope you feel better soon, SGM!
Raine send me some great stuff a while ago called Deep Blue! AMAZING! You must try it out! Post surgery she also sent me some good stuff to, ahhhh....restart the engines? It worked!
I think I spoofed Doc Lee's message this morning.... Ugh. SORRY!0 -
David - we are chosen family here at BBB and that is what family does.
Yes Bill - you are the quirky Uncle but you are not outcast - we love you!0 -
Merry Christmas BBB Friends.
- Thanks for the inspiring words Lisa.
- Mr. Cooper, you are one handsome dude.
- Let's hope the essential oils kick the crud Dave. Yeh, Ms. Raine is one special person.
- I worked AV at the Christmas eve service last night. The last hymm is Silent Night. Everyone has a candle and the lights go off. Moving. I've noticed Methodist sing louder when the lights are off.
- I came home and we exchanged presents. Emma had fun.

Good morning.
Love the poem lisa.
Thinking of you steph. First year has to be the hardest.
Thinking of you steve and Connie too, and all those here on the board that have lost loved ones.
All are still asleep in my house.
Raine, you sent me those oils. I wonder if they’d help my cold? It’s a bad one. I’m drinking a hot toddy right now. Go me.
Headed to moms for lunch. Church last night was nice but I felt horrible. Poor DH worked all night.
I got an echo. Boys set it up for Me
They will open gifts soon.
Have a very wonderful blessed Christmas everyone!!❤️0 -

Love you all. Be safe and be merry.

Merry Christmas.
Had a really nice Christmas with my family. We all left mid-afternoon. Sisters had to get home for Christmas eve church at their churches. Ron and I stuck around to finish up laundry, cleaned the bathrooms and generally pull the house back together. The last to leave is in charge of this and since that usually falls on my sister Stacie (who lives the closest) we decided to pitch in.
Dad has murphy beds in the garage that we fold down for the kids to sleep on. they are getting older and it used to look like a slumber party but now really looks like (and smells ) like a dorm.
Headed to Ron's brothers house for noon meal. We likely won't stay too long as his mom isn't in good shape and gets overwhelmed by company.0 -
Merry Christmas from me and my family to you and yours!
BBB, love you all!0 -
Merry Christmas,
Hope all have a wonderful day enjoying family and friends.
Enjoy the Day,
Sam I am0 -
Merry Christmas, folks.
Cecilia has the crud, so we're just hanging around the house. But, I finally picked up our Christmas cards today. Well, the sectarian cards anyway.0
