OMG what a lot of reading ahead of me. I am down about a gallon on my FG "fix" so have miles of catch up to do.

First off big Congrats to K and K for their hooking up, I hope everything is as they had hoped for. Way to go you 2.

Second Hey all newbies nice to see ya, hopefully I get the opportunity to say hi to you all individually.

Third I have tons work piled up on my desk and find it highly unfair that I have to do the work and not catch up on FG tee hee hee, but I like to be busy so really don't mind terribly.

The vacation was grand, but reality prevails.

thanks gals,

my holiday was nice, 10 days on Vancouver Island. We had not so bad weather, some rain some wind some cooler temps but not cruddy enough to forego golf

We rented an ocean front house for the 10 days. Every morning come rain or shine we had 3 seals out there catching fish. Very cool they flounder around and slam the water which we later found out they slap the fish and stun them enough to catch them and eat them. Golf was awesome 3 games in total which is just my speed as I am strictly a pleasure golfer. One day into Victoria, a gorgeous coastal city with a beautiful inner harbor and very romantic. But having said that we visited a bug museum and ooo the thrill was I got to hold a praying mantis, a scorpion, and a tarantula. That was tres cool. Sadly one day I was deathly ill with a terrible sinus cold so I stayed in while the rest of the gang went "caving" I didn't mind due to the fact I am horribly claustrophobic. We did some hiking and some beach combing and some general relaxing. Drive out was great and easy. Drive home was hellish as we hit 3 major snow storms in our 12 hours of driving. But hey that is travel through the mountains for ya.

One day we spent with my family and lucked out to catch everyone at once at my aunts birthday party so that was treat as it has been a few years since seeing them all. Poor Hunny mind you as he was thrown into this wacky family gathering where everyone talks all over everyone else and he was a novelty so they totally mobbed him hehehe but he managed well. Got to see the latest addition of the family Sweet baby Des. So all in all it was great.

Always nice to be home as well, seems I made it in the nick of time as both daughters were fed up with their father hehehehe Gosh some days ya think running away from home isn't such a bad idea after all hehehehehe

You were just down the road from me! Glad you had a great time. You should try to get an invitation back when the olympics are here.

Belated welcome back. It is cool and rainy right now, so, you aren't missing anything. Then again, unless you are going through a chinook, it is only cool here.
