Congratulations Miss Casey!
3 years, and counting!!!
Good Morning All;
I have a feeling that this Christmas is going to be a very different one for us all. (Although I have no idea where that thought comes from).
Feeling very Grinch-like, I have already canceled Christmas in Flintville- (OK everyone, only at my house). hehehe
My cousin, Joannie, called last week to offer me a tree! They grow their own, but sadly, I had to decline. We will celebrate when Casey is feeling better- and after she heals from her surgery/ies.
I offered to celebrate her birthday and her Christmas together, and received an emphatic "NO" hehehe
So funny!
Perhaps we shall have Christmas in July then!
For now it is "off to Minnesota, and for her to find out (I hope) where she is losing her blood, and how.
Hard to believe that yesterday we celebrated her 3rd year since her TP/AIT. We would not have had her to love had she not had that surgery. In fact, at the rate her organs were failing, she would not have been able to sustain herself past October of 2010 (and that was actually a very optimistic guess on Dr. S.'s part).
I have wash in- and dishes to do yet.
Punk has been 'off her feed' as they say- But not sick-sick. I think she is a bit sad, though I don't know why that is either. And yes, the 'off her feed' bit is only an expression- She will eat, sick or not. (Kinda like me that way). hehehe
After seeing the news this morning, I am reminded of the year that Casey marched in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. As Captain of the Color Guard, she had a 'wunnaful' time. (Yes, she was already quite sick at that time, though we didn't realize it... yet).
* Mark your calendars!!!
This year, Pulaski Red Raider Marching Band will be marching in the Rose Bowl Parade, again, this year!!!
(Casey was even Captain of the Color Guard for a few years)!
WOOT! WOOT!
And how cool is it that Wisconsin will be playing?!
An exciting time for all, but the young lady I know that is loving every minute of it is Miss Ashley!
Here she is, a few years ago (when I still had my Chrtistmas Brunch).
Miss Brandy, Myself, Casey, and Miss Ashley too.
My very best to all of the band! They will do perfectly!
Soooo make plans to be watching The Rose Bowl Parade this year!
And of course to be watching the game too

5 Reasons the Wisconsin Badgers Will Beat the Oregon Ducks
* Sorry, Will. hehehe
Speaking of games- (and in reply to Slurkie's question in my guestbook)...
I didn't do anything different...
Well maybe if I would have had my best packers shirt on, as I had for the past 13 games)... Grrr...
Or, maybe I shouldn't have watched...
We took our 1st loss in 364 days yesterday. (Repeat Grrrr). But there are still ways to obtain that home field advantage, and that is important; although the sports bars all do well, regardless if it is at Lambeau Field, or not.
As do we, as fans. I am quite sure which 'side' I am on- There are people upset about the loss- (boo-hoo), and there are those that say it is best to get the stress of continuing the "W's" out of the way before the playoffs. No-Brainer, kids.
But I am wondering what the heck Thers did different to obtain Indianapolis' lone "W" for the year? hehehe
I'd best close for now...
I hope everyone is having a "wunnaful" week!
Hope too, that everyone in the path of the blizzard has full cupboards and furnaces.
- And please, to keep Casey in your good warm thoughts too?
XOXO
Me
Casey- My Elf- 2004
