I also want to hear about Deedee's balloon adventures.

I have to go play real-time games now (hit or miss, luck of the draw, both awesome, I am a board game geek).
Have you played Banana Grams?

This is way, way too easy. Pete, you can't play.
Marcia, you don't like pie!
so that's why Mr Pete needs to bake them :roll:

Okay... here I go........

#1... I fell for the "want to go to Monte Carlo" line, but the affair only lasted for the day.

#2... My big toe was stung by a scorpion 28 years ago; I have no scars, but the scorpion lost his stinger!

#3... Trips to St John have resulted in my meeting several VIOL forum members including the gracious StJohnRuth, the charming Augie, the elusive Joshie, and the vivacious Shopper3, among others.

#4... In the 1970s I was in a two passenger prop plane making an emergency landing... the instruction I was given was "look out the side and look for the runway...now!" The trip home was by Greyhound. Boy, those were the days!!!

I bake them because that's the only way I will get to eat them.

Half right! Didn't meet him as planned, but he is very real... Joshie just spent too much time sending Ruth chickens; as a result he chickened out on showing up.

Gee, sorry everyone went home early; guess I'm not too good at making up stories.

My husband and I were in Nice; he said "want to go to Monte Carlo"? We rented a car and spent the day there.

There are small black scorpions in Florida; the one I found was hiding in the mulch.

The airplane story happened.


Continue on... I'm going for the wine. :roll:
