Good morning BBB friends. Happy anniversary Dennis and Kris. So, you got married when you were 12?! Church this morning, then a quiet day, I hope.

Good morning gentlemen. Went to a stage performance of A Christmas Carol, yesterday. One of grandkids' friends was playing Tiny Tim. He did great. Afterwards we wondered around downtown Olympia and checking out shops. Following that it was back to DS's house for Mexican food. When I got home, I found Rita had spent the day…

Good morning BBB friends.

Good morning gentlemen. Glad you were able to meet up. Great photos. Going to a local play of A Christmas Carol, this afternoon, then dinner at DS' house. It is a dinner party for DDIL's sister's in-laws. They're in town from Delaware. Rita is staying home. She isn't feeling up to it.

Good afternoon gentlemen. I forgot to check in this morning. Guess I am getting old. Hope Steve and Lee are enjoying meeting up. Congratulations of the closing, Bill. You're an Oregonian now. We're unusually warm, today - 57 degrees. I finally serviced the lawn mower - oil change, cleaned spark plug, sharpened blades. So,…

Good afternoon BBB friends. For some reason I completely forgot to check in this morning. Goode news Dennis. Great loss Mary. Safe travels Lee.

Good morning BBB friends. Hope appointments go OK in Georgia. We'll be on post today with stops at the hospital pharmacy, PX and commissary. Still have shopping to do for the grandkids, too. They get tougher to buy for. They're too old now, for the toys that used to please them. Lee is on the road today. Hope the weather…

Good morning gentlemen. Woke up too early this morning, but I like the quiet time alone anyway. Safe driving Lee. Hope the weather is OK on your way. Hope the X-rays don't show anything, Steve. The deacons in our church brought gifts of Christmas cookies to all the members of the congregation. Rita told me she didn't like…

Good morning BBB friends. I remember well all the misadventures of travel, from my working days. A big reason I stay near home in retirement. If I can't drive there in a day, I don't want to go. DS and family just adopted a kitten from a shelter. The "free" kitten cost $800. Waiting for a repair guy to come to the house…

Good morning gentlemen. A stormy night, lots of wind and rain. Power went out a couple of times, briefly. Have to wait around for a technician from Lazy Boy to come repair one of the new recliners we bought a couple months ago. The leather upholstery is coming apart in the back, just from normal reclining. My old recliner…

Good morning BBB friends. Dental cleaning/checkup: that's the highlight of my day.

Good morning gentlemen. A bit milder today, high up to 50, but rain all day. No long walk for Sassy and me. Rita and I have dental cleanings/checkups this afternoon. I think I do some pretty good work on my turnings - not at all like the works of art that make magazine covers, but better than average for my turning club.…

Good morning BBB friends. Cold rainy day in Tumwater. Doesn't that sound familiar? How long until spring? This is why so many local retirees take their RVs to Arizona for three or four months every year. There should be a break in the weather for a few hours this afternoon, so Sassy and I can get out for some fresh air.

Good morning gentlemen. There are no good words of comfort for what you are going through, Sam. I know how hard it is to stay strong, supportive and comforting while you spouse is going through a frightening health crisis. Praying for you both. Bill, Bob, Mike, Lee and Steve, I don't comment often enough about my…

Good morning BBB friends. That last bit of airport time is your penance for the cruise, Dennis. Cold rain in Tumwater - again. I keep a couple large towels in the garage to make the mostly futile effort to dry Sassy every time she has to go out to do her business. The downside of all that gorgeous golden hair. Church this…

Good morning gentlemen. Wow, you posted early, Mike! Actually, I wondered about a piano in a condo apartment. Hope that doesn't cause any future grief. Great photos, by the way. Hope the ribs aren't too painful today, Steve. Another day with cold rain. And that's all that is on the forecast for the next two weeks. December…

Good morning BBB friends. Go Army, beat Navy!

Good morning gentlemen. Had fun in the shop yesterday, turning a half section of walnut log into a rough turned bowl and two small plates. The walnut is one of about a dozen chunks that have been sitting under a tarp since May. I was happy that it was in great shape. Maybe more shop time today, but also Army vs. Navy.

Good morning BBB friends. It's not that easy to change covenants here. It requires a 75 percent approval from all property owners. On the other hand, our HOA has no real enforcement ability, so people just do whatever they want, most of the time. Spent some time in the shop turning a walnut cookie jar, yesterday. Today I…

Good morning gentlemen. I have several crowns and have learned that they can wear out. One that has lasted was a gift from an Army dentist. When he learned that I was retiring he told me I had a tooth that would need a crown in a few years, so he went ahead and built on while I was still on active duty. It is my only gold…

Good morning gentlemen. Add my prayers to the others, Sam. We still need a couple more presents for the grandkids. They're the only people we buy gifts for anymore. But, after a full day driving Rita, yesterday, I am ready for some me time in the shop. Not a good day for outdoor activities - 35-degree rain mixed with snow.

Good morning BBB friends. Light rain with a bit of snow mixed in. Not my favorite weather. Maybe some shop time, today. I feel the need to create something.

Good morning BBB friends. Sassy keeps going to the window and growling. I suspect there are deer out there in the dark. She has to protect her turf. When I used to wear expensive glasses full time, the screws were always coming loose, even though I only took them off and on a couple times a day. Now, with cheap readers I…

Good morning gentlemen. Last dry day before cold rain returns tomorrow. Rita has plans for a number of errands, so my day will be full. Glad the ribs are feeling better, Steve. I don't know what a peanut butter ball is, so my temptation level would be low. I was up almost four pounds over the weekend. Every time the…

Good morning BBB friends.

Good morning gentlemen. Got the grandkids off to school, yesterday and the CRV is back in the garage, where it belongs. Life is back to normal. Should be dry today. I'll try to get out for a nice long walk. I thought about hiking, but didn't sleep well and don't want to make a long drive to a trailhead.

Good morning BBB friends. Some HOA rules make no sense. I sympathize. Short-term gains are easier to lose, I was told, Dennis. DS and DDIL were delayed one night, so we had the grandkids again. I need to get them to school this morning, which, in turn, delays getting our CRV back from the body shop. It was actually done…

Good morning gentlemen. Love the snowy photo, Lee, but glad the white stuff is there and not here. Yeah, the Chiefs seem to have the luckiest streak in football. But a 'W' is all that matters. Seahawks have won four in a row. How did that happen? DS called yesterday and asked us to keep the kids for another night, so I…

Good morning BBB friends.

Good morning gentlemen. Full day with the grandkids, yesterday - and more to come today. It is a testament to my love opf these kids, that I watched a Harry Potter movie rather than the Ducks' game. I did have the latter streaming silently on my laptop, and I recorded it for later viewing. Today, they are both staying for…
