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 Sunday morning BBB friends.
    . A lazy Sunday morning on the Sky Princess. No church services.
    . A crazy day of football yesterday. Miami blew a 21 pt lead and poor OSU. Sorry Mary.
    . Texas beat A&M. Is that good or bad in Austin Lou?
    . Vigo, Spain tomorrow. The last time I was in Spain we throwing Spanish paratroopers out the back of our C-130.

    Mornin' BBB

    Hook'em Horns! Gig them Aggies. UT is Austin, Dennis.
    And my sister's Gators beat the Seminoles.
    Michigan and Ohio game was a battle. Then the knuckle heads showed up when it was over.

    GM~
    • The MI/OH game was fun to watch. The post game antics were classless and everyone of em' should be stripped of the privilege to play NCAA again, sending a STRONG message that this behavior will not be tolerated. I digress.
    • This weekend has NOT been point friendly. Ugh.
    • Off to see my GodSon today visiting from Maine. I feel bad we don't see him more often. But the envelopes usually give him a smile and earn a big hug just the same!
    • Long week ahead. C'mon Chrismas break!
    • Hope the cruise life is bringing you smiles!

    Good morning

    Dennis, enjoy your relaxing morning. Looks like a beautiful ship. What's the weather there like this time of year?

    That OSU game was horrible. Bad bad day for one kicker, glorious day for the other.

    After a lethargic day I finally got motivated and trimmed the tree "toddler shatterproof style". Not the prettiest tree I've done, but it'll be fine. Went with multi colored led lights for a new look, and decided indoor, they are just too much for my taste. Too late now to change it. The toddlers might like it!

    Today dh will heat the garage up for me to create the holidaty porch pots. Not sure if dh will do outdoor lights, its cold out again today!

    Ds2,ddil,dgs may stop by for lunch, turkey vegetable soup, if I get it going soon!

    Stephs comment reminds me I'm not drinking enough water. It's a problem for me, for sure.

    I bought my first gift. For my 5yr great neice . A Bluey camper play set from Costco. Kinda of fitting. She loves coming to the lake and staying in our guest camper lol. Something Paw Patrol will be for her brother. I got my dgs a little pottery barn monogrammed memory foam chair. Papa can pick out dgd's gift.... Cash is going to the big kids.

    Have a blessed Sunday BBB.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Well, I loved how the football day ended, with my Ducks crushing the Huskies. Penn State is next up.

    My only time in Spain was 24 hours spent waiting for the Air Force to try to fix their C-5 - and failing. We just wanted to get home from Kuwait.

    More Rita-directed decorating, today, after church.

    Morning BBB

    We are in Mexico for just 4 more weeks. We will have about a week to get our packages delivered, shopping and store the car before flying to Costa Rica. I have got to get my weight loss bu++ I. Gear or I'm going to need new clothes.

    We didn't even leave the house yesterday. We did some packing/list making to make sure we can still fit in our backpacks after adding a few new thing (massage gun, flat iron, Xbox controller) plus our puffer coats since we will be near Antarctica. I'm probably going to need to cut down either my cute sandals or my slippers, pare down toiletries and get a water bottle that clips to the outside of my bag.

    Then we watched YouTube videos about our cruise to help us narrow down where we want to use our excursion credit.

    Dave, if you were in Spain you were at Torrejon Air Base and transient maintenance. There were no C-5s stationed there. That plane was a maintenance hog anyway.

    Dennis, my memory is that we landed at Rota Naval Station and waited for them to bring in another C-5 from somewhere. That one made it to Delaware, where we waited for another 24 hours before a third C-5 made it to Texas.
