Has anyone heard from Widget?  I guess I miss a few of the old posters and wonder if they are ok..

[terryd270]

I should call my old girl friend up, she used to decorate her Xmas tree with sea shells and under the tree has sand for the base..  I guess I could do the same but her shells were kinda neat, they were all special and the tree looked great..

Terryd - that shell tree sounds beautiful.  What a great idea!

She was the girlfriend that used to be an artist.. She had a picture of her backyard that she painted and had me looking like a pineapple..  Well when I did something wrong, I would come home and when I saw my picture all crossed out, I knew I was in trouble.. She got me trained to look at the picture, so I would know if I was in trouble or not..  She used to have some strange items in her house..

Klaasend,

This girl was kinda small but was a little pistol.. I stopped at a gas station and I went to get something to drink for us.. Well I left the top down and her sitting in the car and I was walking back to the car and I see some guy holding his hand screaming running away from my car.. Well she was sitting in the car and this guy assume he could steal her purse..  Wrong, she step on his hand with some cowboy boots and she told me that she thinks that she might of broken his hand.. Well, at least he didn't have to go home and check the picture before he went inside..

So Monday I get to see some guys that I worked with at IBM and CBS.Sportsline.com and this should be fun.. We used to play racquet ball and go to quite water park for cable water-skiing.  Its kinda fun if you never done it before.. Instead of boats pulling you, you are pulled by a cable..  http://gorp.away.com/gorp/publishers/menasha/bik_fla3.htm

Hey terry! That sounds like a blast!
I have not heard from Widgey in a while, hope that all is well with him and his family.

I have a question about the sand, how did she keep it from getting all over the place?

[terryd270]

Well I better get ready for my bike ride tomorrow.. I will take some pictures if I remember my camera.. I have everyone going to Shark Valley next week to ride with the alligators and that should be interesting because I been reading some of the comments of the other riders.. I don't think they ever been there but we will see.. What makes this fun, is that I have a very fast bike and therefore if any of the gators are hungry they will eat the slower riders..I still have the tennis meetup.com too but now that I moved I guess I need to slow down..

Hello.  Long time...  It's hard to believe after all this time, still nothing concrete to obtain justice for Natalee.

[cubbeegirl]

Muffy! It is great to see you! It breaks my heart that there still is no resolution to this case.....

[terryd270]

I think she had it glued to a felt bottom..  She had a big stuffed owl that actually looked kinda neat in her house.. She had marble floors and she picked the color by throwing coffee gounds on them to see if they matched and they did.. She was pretty interesting..

[terryd270]

Tomorrow bike ride is going to be fun..  Can't beat jumping into the ocean and riding on nature trails..

Ahhhh, I see......

Hello Cubby   It's good to "see" you too.  I have been checking in here and there, and last night sat and read through the prayers requested section and it is difficult to learn of our monkey friends and their families struggles.  Some are so very, very brave though.  I think of Beth, and just don't know how she goes day to day...

I know Muffy, Beth and Dave are amazing people .....

Hello Terry.  Looks like you are going for a bike ride.  I am particularly interested in the "swimsuit (optional)".  

[terryd270]

I wish some of you were nearer, you could borrow one of my bikes and have an adventure.. I know places where the water is crystal clear and where we monkeys could muck about in the water having a good time.  I never understood this attraction to Aruba, there are way too many places that have true water paradise..
