When I look out my windows--there are lots of them--all I see is the tops of trees. I have a portch I like to sit on up here so I have a great view and can spy on the neighbors.” 7:14:54 AM 11/26/02 “It sounds beautiful, Mary. I get the sunset from my front porch, and in autumn the colors are much brighter. The sunrise is hidden behind trees but with the leaves down, I can see some of it.” 7:17:21 AM 11/26/02 and can spy on the neighbors “Do you use a telescope or binoculars? Have any good videos?” 7:18:47 AM 11/26/02 “'tis a nice home we have and the best part is that it is paid for--we have lived here a long time. My mom reminded me the other day that I have always liked tree houses. I spent several childhood summers sleeping in a tree house i built in a big old cottonwood.” 7:20:54 AM 11/26/02 “Binoculars of course--I watch the birds GRIN” 7:21:38 AM 11/26/02 Waaaa...I want to live in a 2-story house, too! “and NOT to spy on neighbors!! In fact, HEY, I want to live where the leaves actually CHANGE color every autumn! Good Morning, everybody! It's lower 40s in sunny North FL! It's gonna be a golden day!! Thanks for the vote of confidence, bitpusher! I don't know about you, but I miss the AT! I've been reading 'A Walk in the Woods', & while I don't agree with his point of view, I'm enjoying hearing about the AT!” 7:37:26 AM 11/26/02 “"Colds all gone? Everyone ready for a Happy Thanksgiving?"~Nowslimmer BoooHoooo, I avoided the dreaded cold all last month when Birch and the little one had it, but it's finally come to visit me. And on top of the cold, I have broken nose, boohoohoo. Abby slammed her head into my face Sunday, while we were watching "Funniest animals". I'm in bad shape this morning.” 7:40:22 AM 11/26/02 Sassafras “so, you have 3 kids? Or a husband & 2? I have 2 (kids, that is!) Sorry to hear about your nose. Hope it heals soon! :)” 7:46:38 AM 11/26/02 “Hinds Feet, (btw, I really like that name, reminds me of a good book), I have one one child, 22 months old, and one husband (Birch).” 7:59:08 AM 11/26/02 “Sassafras - Hope your nose heals quickly. Be thankful! I'd gladly accept a broken nose to have my children young enough again to play like that.” 8:03:25 AM 11/26/02 “nowslimmer--the grandchildren are coming and they are ever so sweet :)” 8:08:24 AM 11/26/02 “Ouch, Sassafras, a broken nose! I got hit in the nose quite a few times when the kids were little. It is sad that we can't go back in time once in a while to snuggle them as babies again.” 8:13:15 AM 11/26/02 yall “That may be true Lyndy but to hear Gemini say "yall" is pretty funny..with that German accent.” 8:14:30 AM 11/26/02 “Gazelle, I do miss it a lot. Already making plans for my next adventure. I feed my addiction by reading people's trail journals on www.trailjournals.com. Plus I spend time poring over maps and trail descriptions trying to figure out optimal distances and days, etc. I'm planning my next trip to be about 50 miles and take about 7 days. That'll probably be in March or April. Then I'll probably have to wait a year for my next AT trip, because my wife wants to take the kids to Disneyworld this year. boo hoo for me!” 8:20:35 AM 11/26/02 “Heehee Crazygurl, I suppose that would sound different. In my town so many people have accents, that it almost seems strange to meet someone who doesn't.” 8:20:53 AM 11/26/02 “hey hey hey...with a german accent, huh?? now she is trying to get back at me. I don't normally talk like that, I only write ya'll... :) btw: my inlaws are coming and are bringing the food, so I don't have to cook. nananana!!!” 8:34:34 AM 11/26/02 * * *“LOTS of snow on the ground this morning. 8)”4:15:04 AM 11/27/02 Aaaaahh!!! “Ah Buddur..I am soooo jealous! How much is LOTS?” 5:23:13 AM 11/27/02 “Bit... Disneyworld is a different sort of hiking for sure. Sorry to hear about the shnozola there, Sass! OUCH. I'm sure a headcold wouldn't help! O Well. I'm off to stomp around the neighborhood (maybe two laps this time...).” 5:34:32 AM 11/27/02 “We have snow but it looks like only two or three inches. We were so hoping for no school so we could play in the snow.” 5:57:47 AM 11/27/02 “We have 2.8 inches here. It seems like wet snow, but it didn't really stick to the road outside.” 6:03:33 AM 11/27/02 “Just a dusting here/ We may get more throughout the morning, but probably not as much as they expected. Nor'easters are hard to predict. Too many variables. Lyndy and Rich, yoy may still get more later in the morning. Off to the rehab works!” 6:19:21 AM 11/27/02 i'm up....i think... “yawwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnn, coffeeeeeeee.......” 6:21:25 AM 11/27/02 Snow! Oh! 6:32:21 AM 11/27/02 “I don't know if more will fall since the sun is starting to break through the clouds here.” 6:44:26 AM 11/27/02 “Tomorrow, I will be on the snow for sure. All day. And the next day, and the next day and one after that. :D” 7:18:28 AM 11/27/02 “I wish we had loads of snow! Just a dusting here. =( Colder than a witch's you-know-what too. I think the high today is supposed to be 20. I think it might be time to break out the winter coat!!! BTW, Thanks for the sympathy everyone, it makes me feel better. =)” 7:19:04 AM 11/27/02 “2-3 inches would be nice..that is actually a good size snow for us. Enjoy your day!” 7:49:23 AM 11/27/02 “Sassafras - Hope your nose feel better today?” 7:56:01 AM 11/27/02 “Sassafras, yes the idea for my name came from a great bk that touched me. Actually, though, I've gone back to my original trail name, gazelle. Most people don't know what a 'hind' is anymore, so it defeats the purpose! Where do you live~where you have a dusting of snow?” 9:54:17 AM 11/27/02 “I live in SE Michigan. The nose does feel better but now I have the sore redness that goes along with a cold and too much wiping, along with the purple bruise down the center of my bridge, lol. Looking worse!” 10:37:47 AM 11/27/02 “The Golden Hind...” 11:51:28 AM 11/27/02 “hind:- the female of the European red deer.” 7:03:39 PM 11/27/02 “Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving Day. Sassafras - Hope all is better today. May I suggest taking pictures for your memories book.” 6:43:03 AM 11/28/02 “Ugh. Up too early on a day I'm not working. I'll probably do more work today than I normally do on a work day. Still have to take my ex-step-mother-in-law (it's a long story) to the airport to turn in her rental car and then make dressing for my family's Thanksgiving feast. And I didn't get to sleep until after 1:00AM. Ugh. Happy Thanksgiving all!” 6:59:14 AM 11/28/02 “Tilt - That was a nice post you made. Looks like you have a good memory of history. Here are some links for anyone interested: The Golden Hinde A living history museum Pictures The Golden HInd more details” 7:08:33 AM 11/28/02 “Good Morning everyone!!! Boy it was good to sleep late..have to rest up for all this eatting!” 7:25:37 AM 11/28/02 “good morning you turkey heads!” 7:45:27 AM 11/28/02 5:45:04 AM 11/29/02 “Damn, I still feel full from YESTREDAY!” 5:59:32 AM 11/29/02 I have to go to work... “but it could be worse. I could be shopping with all the mad shoppers. ;o)” 6:01:40 AM 11/29/02 “Brrrrr....Slimmer just a few degrees cooler in the Mtns of Western NC...we are at a crisp 23 degrees!!! Hope everyone has a great day today!” 6:04:08 AM 11/29/02 “Cool links, NS... thanks. Remember people: you are what you eat, LOL” 6:08:05 AM 11/29/02 “Grrr. I should be home in bed.” 6:10:30 AM 11/29/02 “Crazy day! I have to leave early for rehab (Yea!) then get a blood draw (Boo!), stop at the bank, stop at the PO, go home, do laundry, dry more apples, and get the day pack ready for my hike tomorrow.” 9:47:58 AM 11/29/02 “My list is much longer! Did not accomplish anything this morning, and now it is time for some one-pocket pool games at the Golden Cue. One of these days I'll have to get organized.” 9:58:19 AM 11/29/02 “Nowslimmer, at your age and my age there is no sense committing to something you can't possibly do. If being disorganized got you this far in life, stick with what works.” 10:12:14 AM 11/29/02 “Sassafras..a very good friend of mine just moved to Lansing. I KNOW it's COLD there right now! Hope that everybody had a great Thanksgiving! If I get motivated, maybe I'll take a trek down to the stores & buy what's left after the mad shoppers! Bitpusher, did your dressing turn out delectable? We had T-giving at my parents' house, & it's ALWAYS delectable! :)” 11:53:26 AM 11/29/02 “Already back from taking my Mom holiday shopping. She made me drive 'cause I'm good at finding a parking spot and dealing with aholes. Recession or no, that place was packed.” 12:14:02 PM 11/29/02 “well good morning you wild and crazy people! time to shower and get hiking!! 5:45am” 4:49:17 AM 11/30/02 Jump to Page << prev
