I Wish You A Merry Christmas

And A Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas, Yukon. Best wishes for the New Year. :)

Merry Christmas !!!!!(((HUGS))))

Thanks John. I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas as well. I have learned it is best not to ask Santa for anything. That way there are only pleasant suprises and no disappointments. Blessings for a wonderful New Year.

Indeed, Go Heels

hey buddy, one of my top ten personal stories for '08 was getting to know you on golo, talk politics, and finally meet you at Blincos. Take care of yo self, try to stay warm...and come back to NC as soon as you can, we are all waiting in the golo-nation...jack

Hi John! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas! {{hugs}} from NC! :-)

Beth

Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too!

Good morning John! I hope Santa brings everything you wanted, and then some. Merry Christmas!!

Now, go to bed! LOL

John, I watched it. That is amazing. The sun just barely cleared the horizon. Merry Christmas Eve to you!

OK, we're on the same wave length. I sleep strange hours too. No matter what time I go to bed, my eyes are open around 4:30 or 5AM every morning. When I retired, I thought I would be sleeping longer...boy, was I wrong!! LOL

Jupiter is amazing. I thought it was the moon at first.

hello there friend. Here is hoping that Santa doesn't run over you with the sleigh this year. LOL Hope you and the family the best of holidays.

Merry Christmas Eve, John!

Merry Christmas Yukon!

Merry Christmas Yukon!

Jupiter--Who would have thought you could see jupitor? Wow--That would blow my mind seeing that planet hanging up there so close looking. I will be hoping for plenty of wood your way to stay warm. I want you and Sarah to give Santa a shot in the but this year so he won't be coming down here every year pestering me. LOL You and yours have a safe holiday John and I am so ssorry it didn't work out we could get to meet. I was sick about tht time and with all that coughing and snorting I don'[t like being around folks. I am still fighting it. Feel kind of poorly for holiday fun.....

If I had your email addy, I could send you some awesome pics of northern lights. The temp was 40 below.

Hope you stay warm!

yokon--I just watched some videos from that way where people went out and threw out a glass of water to watch it turn into fog. It was a trip. I can't image that cold ever. The guy threw it up in air and it became a puff of clouds. Don't you guys ever get frozen well water up there?

Merry Christmas, John! I was reminded of you today when I saw an online link to a Fairbanks story that showed some dumbarse had driven on thin ice. It was a great pic of a pickup completely encased in ice. Probably one of those 'southerners' who doesn't understand what an ice road is.

Peace be with you, my friend!

Hi Tarheel friend! How are you? I hope you have a fantastic Christmas! I think of you often. Laurie

Merry Christmas John! Hope you have a super day!

Merry Christmas

Thank you for the Christmas wishes. Had a great day so far. Just did not get to spend enough time with my babies this morning before their dad took them to his house. The house is very quiet. Quiet is a good thing sometimes. Just wish they could have played with their toys a little longer.

Warm I can take. You know me and cold. I would not be able to take it I don't think. Make sure you keep safe in that cold. Hugs to ya darlin.

I love finding out more about family. My uncle also told us the Howard side of our family once completely owned Ocracoke Island but sold half to a friend then sold the rest of it. Also, there is a town called Sladesville, near the coast of NC, that is named for my ancestors. However, we all found it interesting that we had a western bad guy in our family line.

Ramble to me all you want to darlin. I know that there has to be a way to survive all that cold. My hands are cold right now and I hate it.

It's 8:46 here now. Not so late but it is dark here too. LOL. I took a long nap today so I will probably be up for a while.

I'm good at weeding through the "rambles", so feel free to ramble on me anytime

Well darlin you didn't even come by Sanford when ya was here. Not unless you sped right through going to Blincos. I'll save a hug for ya.

john...you are my bud, my hero. If I ever grow up, I want to be just like you.

There is always a hug for you. Enjoy the visit with your friend. I am turning in now. Time for my sweet dreams to come. LOL Have a good evening.

You gave me 2300. I give you 1300. How bout that. Night darlin.


Hi John! Thanks for the good thoughts. I'll take all I can get. I will try to let everyone know how it's going. What a way to spend New Year's Eve! It will all be worth it for a good outcome, right?

Hey John, Paul and I had a quiet Christmas. Our daughter Meagan came home Christmas Eve, left for work @1300 Christmas Day. I've been going through old pictures and putting them in album. Pitching quite a few.....relatives I can't remember their name and such. It's raining here, suppose to be nice tomorrow!! I'm waiting :o) STAY WARM!!

Hiya sweet John. Thank to for the well wishes. I feel much better now. How can anyone stay low for long with such great friends surrounding you with well wishes. (((((hugs)))))

Sorry you having the artic blast on. I am feeling for ya. 59 here and cloudy. I am loving the warm but the rain and clouds could disappear. I would like to see the sunshining. Sending a warm and slighty damp hug back at ya darlin. Hope you have a great day.

I imagine you are right. Stoke up the fire and pass the blankets. I can't stand to be cold. Seems November to May my hands are always cold. I can't stand it. If I was there I would have to stay under the covers.

Love that picture. It is beautiful.

Good morning, John. Chilly up your way?

Have a great day!

Terri

It is hard for me to imagine -30-40 degrees. Seems like it would freeze the skin on your face. I saw your pics of the "daylight" a few days ago...that is a bummer for me. I guess you get used to it, but I don't want to find out. My bro and his wife went to Fairbanks on vacation last summer, they flew to Wash state, and then took a cruise ship...they came back with some great pictures. Right now, I'm contemplating a beer!

HI John - thank you for the post about my MIL. Hubby is holding up well. He has 3 siblings and they are a comfort to each other right now.

I love your profile pic. I hope to see Alaska someday.

I'll share OUR forecast for today... that high temp - it's just plain WRONG for December!

Willard, NC

Today's Forecast: Sunday, 28 Dec 2008 High 77°F Low 53°F Sky Conditions: AM Clouds/PM Sun Sunrise: 7:18 am Sunset: 5:09 pm Wind: SSW (205°) @ 16Mph (25Km, 13Kts) Precipitation Probability: 10%

Terri (who can put on enough clothes to stay warm, but can't take off enough to stay cool, and still be socially acceptable!)

Back at you my friend. Get the woodstove kicking and crawl under the feather ticks ( got any of them up there)with the little lady and you'll stay warm. rest when you can I am up around 400 this am so I know the feeling. I do feel more rested than I have for a while though. hope the family stays safe and warm.

LOL... I don't WANT that kind of nice day! I want it chilly enough to light the propane heater and huddle up as we watch ballgames in our shop building! Plus, the dog has decided that lying directly in front of the fire is nice. When the thermostat cuts it back to pilot, she moves until the fire comes back on.

Your weather reminds me of my friend in Vermont... with their almost constant wind, they get very, very cold. I've heard quite a few stories of what those kinds of temperatures can do to you from him.

Hope you have a nice fire kind of day!

Terri

Morning there, Frosty one! I like my cold weather, but yours sounds like absolute extremes. Bundle up and have a great day!

Terri

maybe next time you come down we will go out for a cold one!
