The: Why are you not surprised department

Okay okay okay...I made another website...I know I know, you're saying but WHY???
Well, case in point, msn groups going down....no more yahoo photos anymore, sudden failed hard drive syndrome...it's better not to have all your eggs in one basket. And anyway, this one is different from all the rest. It is just for our brunch group.

Check it out. Actually, it is probably only interesting to the people in it, but it might give you some ideas for starting a share site like this of your own...Ya can't have too many websites, that's what I say..........

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like.....

Another Thanksgiving bites the dust....We had such a great time at Jill and Mike's . The food was awesome and the company fascinating. Of course, today we cooked a turkey and stuffing and sweet potato casserole (with marshmallows) and ate it... ANOTHER huge meal....but we attempted to work it off dancing....

No, we didn't go shopping early....or at all....except for Tom a little at the end of Black Friday.

Worst news: the trampled Walmart temp and the massacre in India.......

Mid November already!


Today was the monthly brunch get-together. We ate at the restaurant at Flying W Airport, and it was delightful. My favorite part was the wonderful piano player - showtunes throughout the meal. Some people were critical of the chocolate fountain (cold, thin) but..hey! chocolate! (need I elaborate???) The best news was Dina's new bf, and the closest to vacation are Ann and Ted heading down to FL before Thanksgiving for their post holiday cruise to the Panama Canal!

Yesterday I was in attendance at the Second Annual Women's Expo. It was a lot of fun and very interesting and informative. I took pictures and got a massage and ate great food and wrote an article about it for www.mybctnow.com

I'm still taking classes and enjoying them. This is the last week for the Basic H&R Block class and we are finishing up the Contact training soon, too.

I am reading The Sparrow in preparation for my very first Book Club meeting. (How exciting!)

Terri is back in Hawaii, I'm assuming. We were so happy to see her and she kept us dancing for four nights in a row! It was great. We saw Dan too, when he stopped in for a surprise.

Aloha Terri!

Our friend Terri from Hawaii is in town and we have been having fun with her dancing at Prospectors every night since Thursday. Hopefully we will get to see her and Dan when we are out their way in the spring, and dance at Pearl Harbor.

Things are moving along at a hectic pace here....or so it seems...we are keeping busy anyway.
My classes are winding to a close and I will be official, hopefully, in both areas, the election is over, Tom has been getting some high bowling scores (but not quite the elusive perfect score! yet...) It is getting colder and Tom is longing for FL warmth.

I made a website about Jennifer's birthday trip which was a good review of all our good times with the visiting Kayes and assorted relatives last month.

I just finished reading The Time Travellers Wife, a book Sue recommended, and I really liked it. Discussing it with someone at Contact led to an invitation to attend a book club meeting later this month. How exciting!

A funny thing happened and I don't know whether to ask about it or just be grateful.....We got a check from the South Carolina Central Traffic Court. Remember the speed trap ticket? They said it was $185 and that's what I paid...but now they sent a check to us for 103.50! Any guesses on the story behind the "refund"? There was absolutely no explanation....just the check. Hmmm.....
