Nanci - do you ever get to try any Okanagan (BC) wines?

[Nanci]

No, KG, I never have. We're lucky to see any NY wines here.

I just got back from Eden's house. She lent me a bike to try out. I met her cute husband and adorable cats. (and Eden too, she is cute too.) the whole family was cute. lol. So this week I will put a seat and pedals on it and hopefully,
the deluge will stop long enough so that I can take the bike for a spin.
Meanwhile, at Eden's house:
My husband and her husband started talking about Davidson bikes, tire sizes, etc, while I fell in love with her kitten who is a miniature version of my cat Aggie. Here's Aggie:

Just popping in quick so I don't waste too much time at work tomorrow catching up

Got my little home and in bed, all safe and sound. Had a good day cleaning, reorganizing, etc. Very productive.

Love all the pix: Lisa, you and hubby are adorable, Kit and dgf, so very cute (she has gorgeous eyes!), Mimi, love the new 'do on you, Nanci and pets, very cool.

'Night TD, see you in the am.

MIMI - Aggie looks *exactly* like one of my sweet kitties I had named Remmie - actually it was Remington Steel (as in gun metal gray steel, not the bozo actor) and I called him Remmie for short. He was my heart but I lost him to cystitis. I lost one other cat to cystitis as well, TBO (The Bad One). He was black and full of life. When I got Remmie, TBO would "nurse" him as tho he were his "mom". It was so sweet in a preverse kinda way.....

I soooooo miss my cats. DH is deathly allergic so I can't have any more

Mimi-your pics are wonderful. Cute haircut. I am pleased your visit with Eden went well. I may be one of the few who has not met someone from the list.

Nanci-I love your house! My boys would go crazy in there. Z is adorable and I think quite a suitable name.

What is new with me? Started tghe day our poorlyt and it just continued a downward slide. I had to cancel our Thanksgiving plans (SIL was going to visit) as our garage door is beyond the scope of DH's repairs. He made a valiant effort, but it cannot be saved. More debt.

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Yeah Mimi I like your haircut too- very chic. That picture is way cool of the Italian relatives in kitchen.
And Kit- I was thinking she has gorgeous eyes too! Practically illegal eyelashes...
DH got an unplanned "new" bike yesterday (actually it's 8yrs old but almost mint, 500+/-miles), he going to make some changes to it and it's a beaute. It's so nice to see him excitedly ordering new chainrings, etc.
G'night all...

Lisa is that the one you were writing about in Dear So and So? It all worked out then?

[Xrayted]

Wow, look at all the wonderful pics tonight.

Lisa, I hope you know that guy. Very handsome hubby and you're just as cute as cute can be.

mimi - Yes, quite the family resemblance there. I like the new 'do' BTW.

Knot - We only have liquor in state stores too. No beer either, have to go to a distributor. Sucks on Sundays when yer running low or really just need a good belt. Soap opera? Nah. Your life is in a fantastic spot right now. Never regret anything about how you got to this point. When it comes down to it, I'm sure you'd endure much more just to be right where you are. Cherish everything that made it what it is, hon. Savor every morsel of what's in front of you now.

Treeeeeeeeeeeeeek......

Yes, the one and only photo you guys will *ever* have without my black shades.

Well, now I wouldn't say that. I've got a very nice one of Kit, all cute and adorable. No shades. What'll we start the bidding at, hmmm? **whispering** psst! hey, you got the pic? yeah, I got the pic. how much? how much you got? wait, ssshh, here she comes...**talking loud again**

Just kidding, Kit!

**whispering** hey, I know how old she really is too. hehehe **rubs hands together**

Oh, BTW, I caught that one you slid in a mile away. Nice. Very nice.

Well, Offthegrid, Allezgirl and I had a very nice ride today on a paved trail near AG's house followed by a delicious dinner out. Just wanna say thank you to AG for all her hospitality tonight. Love the architecture of your place. Your son is just delightful. I want his shoes. OTG, you are a warm and funny woman and it was my pleasure meeting you today. Keep up the good work girl. You look fantastic. You did great out there today and I'd ride with you anytime.
So, I've got a few pics of the PA girls today. Here ya go ladies. I'm in red, OTG is in yellow and AG is in gray. Then the three bikes. And... a bonus shot just for sh*ts and giggles. I think I have a crush. (Don't worry AG, I'll just send your shot to you later. You didn't think I'd actually do that to you, did you? )
You know I'm gonna pull a Knot and delete that last one, don't you? Get it while you can cause it's already counting down. Wheeeeeee!!! ~ 5, 4, 3, 2, ... Whoops, Gone!

Jennifer, I have no fear that someday soon, you will either be visited or meet some of us on a bike ride.
It just happens!

You can't do thanksgiving because of a garage door??

My LV trip: http://good-times.webshots.com/album/555711613dWHixL

Not the bestest work I've done, photo wise. What the heck, I was half lit the entire trip....

Wow, I got to see it. You and... who's that? some important actor, I know that.
X, how nice that you guys got together and rode. Poor Fredwina, several pages back here, mentioned she'd actually ridden her bike. We didn't respond..
So far the biggest surprise for me here was Jennifer. She looks much too young to have those 3 giant sons!!


I kicked arse this weekend, but it wasn't on my bike. SOMETIMES the bike has to take back burner. Got the basement all reorganized, cleaned, and some new furniture stained and now varnishing it.

thanks for the compliments on my hair. I guess i like it too. I look less like a waif. And thanks for noticing my family resemblance. It is very strange to go to a foreign country, 11 hours away on an airplane and find a big giant family full of people who resemble my father, brother, sister, grandfather, me..
It's getting to be the witching hour. You know, when I go to bed and people say amazing things and then delete them.
buona notte!

PS Snap, you really DO look like your avatar!
It's scary.

I don't look like Alfonsina (my avatar) but she does resemble one of my grandmothers... who never EVER rode a bike!
