Fighting like that fish in your hands. Congrats Ken, he's going to be something special. No catch and release here.

UTawna Johnson (Witney)

Congratulations Ken! These little guys show us big people that life is worth fighting for!! He's a keeper!

Dusty Collings

Welcome to the new family member, Ken.  He's a beauty. I'm aware that you're not suppose to say that about males but it's true.  Here's a Jewish/Polish blessing, "No matter where you go may everyone recognize your beautiful heart."

Dusty Collings

I'm missing the "Like" button here.  Wow, Kate can still party.  Looks like a good birthday.  I love it so much. 

Dusty Collings

I knew an artist in Missoula Montana, Nancy Ericson.  Her main subject matter included Bunnies.  In order to have them near her so that she could have models for her work she taught them how to use the litter box like cats and they were quite refined pet members of the family.  This went on for years and the Bunnies were a main stay of her extensive body of art work in public and private collections.  After the bunnies were no more she switched her inspirational animal to polar bears.  But she never did get one to live indoors and use the box. 

Spell check is not helping me today.  It's and end to the fantasy that I'm a better speller than I used to be.  

Daryl Tucker

Dusty, she may not have been completely successful with the polar bear house training, but she must have been making progress as this picture proves that the bear would at least fetch a bag of litter from the store.

Happy day to everyone!

Dusty Collings

Oh my Goodness.  I fear he is saying to himself, "I see them leaving the 7-11 in Churchhill with these bags. They must like these. Let's see if we can lure them in." 
I've had my weekly "really big laugh." 
Thanks Daryl !

Linda Schardine

It's good to see new faces.......I think I feel almost human, it's been a rough year.

I found a dog sitter and I'm coming to Utah to see friends and family. I will be available for lunch or a visit if anyones available on Dec 26th or 27th. I will be down in the valley, my son lives in Spanish Fork. I'm excited to see family, friends and grandkids, hope everyone is doing good!

David Lynn

Should we do a breakfast, lunch or dinner?

Daryl Tucker

That's great, Linda! I'll try to be there, too.

Linda Schardine

I would be available for breakfast friday or saturday or lunch saturday? if someone wants to plan where and when I'll schedule it in......!!

Linda Schardine

How about Saturday breakfast? 9:00 somewhere? T-Bone? is it still there, I'll be in Spanish Fork so some where close? any takers?

I'll check back in a few days, my son is here from NY until tomorrow........

Shauna Bona (Leetham)

Hi everyone. I guess everyone is busy this time of year! Linda i can go to lunch either day. I can't go to breakfast on Saturday. I'm sure it will be hard to find a time a time when everyone can get together! I'll just keep in touch! Merry Christmas all you young people!!!

Dennis Sorensen

I guess its time that I let you know that I am still alive.  This is what I have been working on since the end of July.  I have a little bit of trim to finish on the outside and now I am working on the inside.

Sorry I couldn't get the picture to turn I need Daryls help with this.  I know I have missed some Birthdays so I want to wish everyone who has had a Birthday and is going to have one by the end of the year a very happy one.

Shauna, did you buy the Christmas present?  My son went over and bought one and said it is the best thing he has ever had.  

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  I would like to share this Christmas thought with you at this wonderful time of the year.

"Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting.  It is happiness because we see joy in people.  It is forgetting self and finding time for others.  It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values.  It is peace because we have found peace in the Savior's teachings.  It is the time we realize most deeply that the more love is expended, the more there is of it for others."  By Thomas S. Monson

Daryl Tucker

Here's Dennis' picture from a different perspective. I don't know what's going on for you and posting pictures, Buddy, but I'm here for you !

What a great looking shop, by the way! Perfect place for a retired guy to hang out. I appreciate the Christmas sentiment, too. 

Dennis Sorensen

Daryl thanks for you help I knew you would have my back.  My wife call's it my man cave but she sure has a lot of plans for what needs to go inside.  Wow this retirement is hard work I think I need to get a job so I can rest.  It's great to hear from all the new classmates on the forum.  Dave have you come back to earth yet?  As much traveling as you do I figure you went into space for Christmas so you could see Santa first.  Merry Christmas everyone.  

Shauna Bona (Leetham)

Hi Dennis, Yes i bought the present for Christmas! Can't wait to use it!     Is anyone out there ready for Xmas????   My daughter Mikele just got home from Jordan so that is a present in it's self. she is always on an adventure but this one was at a scary time with all the unrest in the middle east! She did get to ride a camel, which i would love to do!! She also got to be in the place Jesus was baptized! It was the highlight of her trip!!! Merry Christmas every one!!!!!

James Harmer

Hi Shauna, Did Mikele make it over to Petra?  I have been to the river Jordan at the Baptismal site. We were In Israel visiting the Sea of Galilee over to Lebanon, Seria and Jordan. But The Last couple of times I was in the Middle East it was just to unsettled to make the trip over to Petra so I haven't checked it of my list. Petra is cool but Egypt is still one of my favorite places in the world. My wife's brother was a AT&td world supervisor and lived in Egypt overseeing the installation of a fiber optic network. So we went and stayed with him for a month and was able to explore Egypt in depth. He had a small apartment that took up two floors of the building, somewhere north of 7000 sq ft. His wife's job was managing the 8 people employed to take care of our personal needs. My favorite was the guy who guarded his parking space on the street all day until he got home from work. I've been back as a tourist and look forward to returning again. If you go to Egypt you should hit all the historical travel sites in the world first to avoid being disappointed. The craftmanship is tops. It beats the OK wall of China. 

Shauna Bona (Leetham)

Hi Jimmy, Does anyone call you that anymore? Mikele didn't go into Israel or Egypt becasue there was to much unrest. She went with a good friend who's friends were there working. They had been there long enough to know where it was safe. She is my adventurous child and dares just about anything. She ha been all over the world and she said it was uncomfortable there. Mostly because women are treated worse than their cattle. In the day she would have been known as a woman's libber!! Ha ha!  I was glad to get her home. She said that Peta was amazing. You were lucky to go see all that area. If i had a choice to go anywhere I would go back to Italy, Wales,and Scotland! That is where all my ancestor's are from. If anyone is reading this chime in and tell where you have been or where you would like to go!!! Maybe we could make a big 69er trip!!!!!! Only 3 days left, maybe I better go shopping and wrap some presents! I'm not going back to read what I wrote so if I screwed up, oh well!!!! And i would like to Thank one of my bet friends in th world for the wonderful gift, Thanks Denny!!!!!!!!!!

David Lynn

Ok Linda, my wife and I will be at the T-bone Sat.27th 12:00. If no one else comes we'll have a nice lunch together. Hope all of you have a great Christmas and New Year.

David Lynn

Fun lunch. Good to visit good friends. Nice you could visit us Linda.

Sorry about your mom Jill. It's hard to lose loved ones no matter their age, and its's hard to know you aren't a kid anymore without your parents. Carry on, use this time of year to remember and love her.

Daryl Tucker

Jill, I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I wish you and your family the best at this very difficult time.

On a happier note, it was great to see everyone who was able to be at the T-Bone on Saturday. I always go away from those class get togethers with warm feelings for having such good friends. I love you all!

Donald Jensen

 Jill, I was sorry to read about  the loss of your mom.This is a bad time of year to lose a loved one . I hope you have alot of family to help you get through this sad time.

Daryl Tucker

It appears another classmate has lost a parent. Marvin Dansie's mother has apparently passed away. My heartfelt condolences, Marvin. My best wishes for you and your family.
