Me...<i>You should have stopped by the boat back then.</i><br /><br />Memory fails me, but I think my last trip to Ol' Blighty was around 1996 or so. The trip I talked about in the Boxing Day post was in the early 90s, around '93 or '94 if memory serves.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-52892068248957296372009-12-28T11:26:19.119-07:002009-12-28T11:26:19.119-07:00Mmmm.

That was the best season, ever.<br /><br />You should have stopped by the boat back then.

Sometimes I even agree. <i><b>;-)</b></i><br /><br />Jenny: We're all well in the H2O Dept. I was awakened by the sound of flowing water, which was sweet indeed!<br /><br />Kath: Your theory is as good as any, yanno? It did warm up slightly and we DO have water.

Karmic paybacks for dissin' the ex in front of the children, maybe?<br /><br />Here's hoping it warms up today for you, possibly some of that bright sunshine in a great blue sky. :)Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974038903187252059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-5788840481969357292009-12-26T19:15:30.239-07:002009-12-26T19:15:30.239-07:00I wish I could have helped you out with your water...I wish I could have helped you out with your water situation.

Her sister was actually German by birth, and died a German citizen, having foregone the obligatory marrying the American GI.<br /><br />Anyway... I'm a Tex-Mex kind of guy, and let me say one thing - I love enchiladas, and anyone who can't stay married to an enchilada making spouse is deficient in life skills, and will probably end up smoking cigars in a van down by the river!<br /><br />Just kidding, love the picture, happy boxing day, and stay warm.Etiennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02463542962653770911noreply@blogger.com
