She lent me these amazing noise-blocking headphones, which rather than giving back I may possibly take to Canada and marry.<BR/><BR/>Saxon, I'm sorry you're stuck at work, and in what I'm hearing is some VERY nasty weather.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Emandtrev. Pics coming right up!<BR/><BR/>That's cool, Blackjazz! It would be fun to meet up if possible. :-)<BR/><BR/>Anon, I've actually checked that one out but returned it when I realized I didn't have time to read it. But it's on the list!<BR/><BR/>Before, I wouldn't say I was <I>missing</I> it . . . ;-)<BR/><BR/>Foxyj, yeah. I'm sure it would be LOTS different when visiting family. I do hope you and Master Fob can make it out there alone some time. So, so very nice and relaxing.<BR/><BR/>Frey, I know! The free-range chicken bit just made my heart glow. I fantasized about kidnapping baby chicks and taking them home with me. Little things were so darn trusting and happy I probably could have. And as for the bad hair pics, don't worry. They're coming.Nemesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00110470182822628791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13684790.post-73336523480001268312008-03-10T14:46:00.000-06:002008-03-10T14:46:00.000-06:00Free Ranged Chickens!!

Or at least that the cigarettes were organic.<BR/><BR/>Sorry the weather here doesn't like your skin.

Sort of kidding-we do fun stuff there too, but it's different visiting family. And I agree on the chickens--wild chickens should be one of Hawaii's state animals or something.FoxyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17950095008611661757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13684790.post-4897060659145074332008-03-10T14:14:00.000-06:002008-03-10T14:14:00.000-06:00>1: Impulse to blog.I was out taking snow photos s...>1: Impulse to blog.<BR/><BR/>I was out taking snow photos sometime last week.
