Good Morning Campers!!

Sorry I haven't been around..my computer overheated again...they fixed it for free because I had just bought a new fan...as you know I love my computer guys... ;-)

Well the family all made it here...brother #2 and his wife arrived Saturday night..Brother #1 and his wife and sister #1 and her son Monday night...FIL was in bed..he has Cellulitis again...they all came into his bedroom....he was really surprised and so happy and a little bit in shock...he soon recovered and joined us for beer and pizza and a night of reminiscing as only family can...I had to work yesterday so not sure what they all did...they went bowling last night..today is my FIL actual birthday...his 77th so the entire family is going out for dinner tonight...Happy birthday Pops!!

I will be on and off for the next few days and back with pics as soon as able...it is freezing here..I mean that literally..26F degrees this morning..hope it warms up..we have a barbecue planned Saturday pool side at my house... ;-) The Brit's are just happy to see the sun shining..cold or no cold...

Barbara In Caneyhead said...

Sounds like a regular British invasion at your house! ;O) Hope they get to see some typical FL weather before they go home.

MammawsDecorativeArt said...

Welcome back! I still haven't lost you, but my computer was on the blink for weeks. I've just gotten it fixed and am making my rounds. I love my laptop! Now I have to get my desktop fixed because I have a curious smart little one who wants to be next to be a computer hound.

I've found myself on FACEBOOK more than anywhere. It's not as deep but more like a chat room with people I know.

I would love to be loved and wanted like your FIL when I get to be his age. What you all did for him just made his year I know and cheered him up so. It sounds like it was tons of fun to be with you all. I hope Saturday was awesome as well. I'm looking forward to pictures too!

I MISSED YOU TOO and you made me feel so special that you would ask about me. So sweet.

XOXO

I will wish some warmth your way.
