What made you smile today?

Intriquing post, Lash, you've gotta have a novel or two in that family of yours. Condolences, tho.

Nimh, that's so cool!! Are you getting excited?

Thanks, Thomas, nimh, soz...

He was a good old guy--but lived a quite cool, long life. Sad, but not traumatized.

Nimh--can I hold a dollar...? <tee>

I don't post here often but something struck me as funny today.

At the gym, huge guy, about 6'5" and pushing 300lbs. Little pink towel.

This morning on my way to work, passing the twins' house.

Girl twin, the snow shovelling addict, is on the front steps sobbing while dad buckles boy twin into his car seat. She can't get her umbrella to open. Dad rushes up, opens umbrella. Girl twin is all smiles.

That little girl just loves weather.


Poking around in my computer tonight. Discovered something else that the computer wizards had been able to save from my old puter and tuck into this one.




My Bailey - the little blonde dog - guarding his best friend Scout's toy that he'd stolen - while Scout looks concerned. They had a wonderful relationship. I miss Scout, and seeing this pic of a happy night about 5 years ago made me smile.

Surely you walked up and called him a Nancy, right?

I just watched one of the funniest things ever on tv, the new South Park tonight.

Was writing this long "dear diary" post about a leisurely enough day today, but strayed for a minute to look up some extra info on the net. (That Lombok cafe, it used to be a shop of De ... Gruyter's, right?) I came across first this cute enough description of Utrecht by a German girl - pretty spot-on stuff! (Except that she misidentified and thus mischaracterised Wittevrouwen, she means Binnen-Wittevrouwen, Wittevrouwen itself is not so uppity). But then - what made me smile - I googled up the actual website of the Museum Cafe Lombok. Its got a picture of one of the pretty tile tableaus in there I'd described, but what's more fun is to click on the old film reels they put online. This footage from a wedding is very cute indeed - especially with the music track of Lou Bandy singing! ("create joy in life").

I like the tiles!

ehBeth, Scout and Bailey brought a smile.

The anticipation of seeing ehbeth tonite has me smiling

Sorry for prying, nimh, but may I ask which country? Just curious. (And keep those raises coming )

Hungary

Hugging The Prince last night


Talking about the six degrees of A2K separation was fun.

Getting out of bed this morning - to the most beautiful snowfall I think I have ever seen.

Each flake - gracefully floating to it's destination. Some of them softly grasping the branches of the trees as if to outline them with a paint brush.

I could have pressed my nose to the window - like the little girl that's still inside of me - and watched it for hours.

still smiling

Sounds cool -- have a great trip! And if you'd like to make a stop half way through, please know that a cup of coffee with you would definitely make me smile.

so Thomas, what's the possibility of meeting up with you as we (meself and the lady Diane) pass through Germany this coming May?

Any time! I'm on for seeing ci and his wife in London around May 1, but besides this, I'll be available any time.

that would get a smile out of me, for sure, btw I will be in london with C.I. on May 1

That's nice <smiles>. I think I'll be flying, tho! Although I hate flying and love travelling by train, so I'm still seriously considering it ...

Upon scrolling down the topics, I noticed that two users were browsing the forum.
Kicky was on top of Noddy! Anyone know how to get coffee out of the keyboard?

Tryagain : type C O F F E E. That will do
