Together Again At Last

Hard to believe, but due to the demands of life we haven’t all 5 been together in quite a while!  And so, this Thanksgiving, we are thankful to God for our family.  We’ve been so richly blessed – more than we deserve. 

We got together last night for a Christmas Photo Shoot and we had a blast (as we always do when we're together).  Thanks to the wonders of Pinterest we were able to borrow some great ideas for a Christmas card photo.  We wanted to make some cards so we can send them to our troops and a photo just makes things so much more personal.  So unless you happen to be one of the lucky individuals receiving at TTWT Christmas card, you’ll have to wait until Christmas for a glimpse of our Christmas Photo.  We really wanted to replicate this photo – but thought it might be too dangerous J

As we have often done in the past, we thought we’d let you know our opinion of the new movie Pitch Perfect.   In this case, we are a bit divided.  Definitely funny, but the opinion of how funny varies by person.  Regardless, the music was beautiful – those involved had wonderful voices and tons of talent.  Our biggest gripe was the “Vomit Scenes” – they were totally unnecessary and could have been left of the plot entirely.  Not sure what the writers were thinking when they wrote those scenes – I feel as if it detracted from the movie and the plot as a whole.  The “Flying Burrito” scene however – was quite humorous.

We’d also like to take this opportunity to introduce you to Skylar Astin (he plays Jesse in the film and he’s quite good looking):

And since it’s been awhile since we posted some men – here’s one more for good measure -

And so we wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!

America’s Finest

 

If someone has done military service,
They earn the title “veteran,” and more;
They earn our deep respect and admiration;
That they are special no one can ignore.

They sacrificed the comforts we enjoy;
The list is long of all the things they gave.
Our veterans are extraordinary people;
They’re loyal, dedicated, true and brave.

When terror and invasion were real threats,
They showed us they could handle any storm.
We owe our freedoms and our very lives
To our veterans, who served in uniform.

Our veterans should be celebrities;
They’re exceptional; no other group compares.
We’re grateful for the many things they’ve done;
They’re always in our hearts and in our prayers.

We owe our veterans support and friendship;
Let no one ever question what they’re worth.
These men and women served us and our country,
Our veterans–the very best on earth.

Please remember our Veterans this Sunday, November 11th

 

 

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS

 

 

A great big Thank You to all who have served -

Rolling with the Punches

Do you remember this episode?  We sure do :)

While perusing the M&J facebook page, we came across pictures of Melissa's baby shower.  She's pregnant, in real life, in case any of you didn't know that.  Check out this photo:

Melissa requested that all of the beautiful gifts from her friends and family be donated to Operation Shower, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to supporting military families, who are expecting a baby.

That photo made us so proud!  Kudos to Melissa for leading by example!

I'm sure many families will be blessed by her gifts.

Since we only had one episode of Melissa & Joey to watch tonight and we were waiting for one of our members to get off work, we decided to watch the new show on ABC called Babby Daddy.  It's cute and funny at times, but sorta cheesy.  But, it does have Barbara Jean from one of our favorite shows Reba.  We do love the one girls hair though, it's super cute!  Has anyone else seen any Baby Daddy episodes?  What were your thoughts on the show?

God Bless our Troops

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Thank you to all our men and women who have served over the years - GOD BLESS!

Unlearned Lesson
Memorial Day
Of every year
The little valiant
Flags appear
On every fallen
Soldier's grave--
Symbol of what
Each died to save.
And we who see
And still have breath--
Are we no wiser
For their death?

Ready Ready Ready Ready to Run

Hello our dear followers!
Tonight was the first night of summer!  We started out our evening by taking on the local crossword, "seven out of fifty-eight correct!"  After the beastly crossword, we took a brief swim in the pool with "bo bo" the clown and our flotation devices, or lack thereof.  All the while singing and making whirl pools.  After freezing our butts off and spending some good quality time with our dear physician, we retired for a favorite chick flick. 

"Runaway Bride"!

 

Oh how we enjoyed the rantings of the old, but attractive, Richard Gere, the ever beautiful Julia Roberts and her crazy grandmother!

"Netta, cover your ears"

"I like his tight butt”
"Grandma"!
"Well I do"

All the while getting ready to mail coupons to the soldiers and preparing for next week's Melissa and Joey Season premiere!  So get ready readers next week is gonna be FANCRAPPINTASTIC!

Zapatos!

Driving to Cape Horn....

We have been inspired.  One of us will build a GTO, one of us will get the tunes and DJ, one of us will be the navigator and one of us will drive.  So yeah, that's the plan - DRIVE TO CAPE HORN - ROAD TRIP!!  Yeah if anyone can guess what movie we just watched based off that description you win Publisher's Clearinghouse!!

So advice for the day: Never stick a genius in your trunk - he'll rat you out every time!

If any of us are ever questioned by the FBI we'll never be able to go with them anywhere....  Always run, never get in their car & don't believe them when they say they'll take you somewhere safe & secure.  They don't mean it.

So in the course of the evening we learned some other valuable lessons: if your apartment door doesn't have a dead bolt, get a concealed weapons permit (nah, just open the door with a pistol!).  Also, once you've seen the inside of the honeycomb you can't go home.  *We learned that from the genius they stuck in the trunk.

Now a certain someone just admitted that Tom Cruise doesn't really rank up there with Sylvester Stallone, Russel Crowe, Rambo or even Buzz Light Year!!  Apparently he's a wienie.... Oh wait, Woody's the wienie...

Our last piece of advice for the night: If you ever hold up a restaurant hand out pie. I hear the sugar helps the shock & trauma for the victims. *Sorry, I thought you were making a move.  Pies, pies for everyone!

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!  The coupons we clipped weighed quite a bit, but I'm sure those in Germany will appreciate them.

Good night one & all, and to all a good night.
