Must have had those croissants the other day with my coffee
and not realized they were from you while you were in France.
Thanks, I think?... they were great

Guess my memory isn't what it use to be

Oh, don't send anymore, within a week I'll be visiting ole
Atkins.

Patty, It could have been worse.Seemed like everyone wanted to give us chocolate this year.at one point we had about 9 #'s of the stuff.At least we saw nary a fruit cake

[Mike2]

Ain't no pond Q8. Dat's a salt water channel. If that ever freezes up, I'm outta here.


P.S.
John, sounds to me like your sledding hill was Phinney Ridge, up there along Woodlawn Park Zoo. Where did you sled anyway, thru the Buffalo and Wildebeest pens?

I'm beginning to think your momma had her hands full when you were a kid.

[patti]

I'd count it a blessing if I didn't get any fruit cake. Chocolate
wouldn't be bad as long as it was Lady Godiva, otherwise
I'd rather have coffee cake muffin from Duncan donuts.....
or croissants from France, of course

[Sonnie Layne]

you guys never had my fruitcake is all I can say..... I started a new batch today, should be ready for shipping next December. I've just gotta add that last sprinkle of Versabond

[jjwq8]

Versabomd no take 12 monfs ta cure

[Sonnie Layne]

No, but the fruitcake does. I use the Versabond to speed up the process.

Linda sure has that right. The drivers around here when it snows! The only thing you can do is stay at home.

We didn't work yesterday. Today because of all the rain tree limbs are breaking onto power lines and there is no power where we wanted to work I lived in Valdez, Alaska for quite sometime where we could get 24" of snow some days. In 12 years I never put chains on a vehicle I owned. Here in Seattle you don't want to try and get out there and drive with the crazy's on all the hills.

It did start raining last night and it is now one big slush pond out there on the streets. Hope it is all gone soon.

My dad fell on Sunday and broke his leg and had to be brought over here to Seattle for sugery. He is 86 and they live in Port Townsend. So I have him over here in yhe hospital and Mom over there afraid to drive, doesn't want to leave the house and come over here even if we go get her. They did the surgery yesterday and have him up today learning to get around. I would guess he will be there a couple more days befor they will release him.

[Sonnie Layne]

Jerry, that's horrible. Broke leg ain't fun no matter what the age. Tell Mom we said it's OK if she comes over for a day or two, we'll look after her. Someone's got a chicken soup receipt posted here. Tell the ole man to get back to two steppin' soon as he can. Call Linda (da cheerleader), she'll come over an' teach him.

Sounds like you guys have had a rash of bad weather up there. Apparent there was ice involved, rather than just snow.

[John Bridge]

Hang in there, all you Seattle folks. I wonder if I'll be able to survive a broken limb at 86. Hell, I wonder if I'll survive TILL 86.

[Sonnie Layne]

John, wait a couple minutes, then look over your shoulder and you'll have the answer to that staring you in the face, along with your lunch.. er... parrot I hope to still be in your good graces then, it's certainly been a pleasure to this point. Happy new year, buddy. Thanks for the book, was more appreciated than expected.

[John Bridge]

Speaking of Seattle, it's warmed up and we've had a Seattle rain all day. That's the kind of rain you can stand out in and not get wet. It's so fine you dry out faster than it can wet you.

Warm spell's over. Weather guy predicts a new Canadian front bringing "bitter" overnight temperatures. Mid-thirties.
