Well, how about this! I finally got in here lol. I have been coming in and posting my little posts and then trying to get in to say hi, only to be told that it was a broken link. Hmmm, strange that I got emails from this thread; but, whatever lol.

Goodness, but it sounds like everyone has been having a fantastic time this past week! So much happy in one place is delicious! lol.

It has been really cold here this past month; but, it looks like it is warming a little. It actually got up to 18 degrees (that would be -8 degrees celsius) yesterday! It is supposed to go back into the minuses but at least we got a bit of a reprieve lol. After getting down to 32 below (-36 C) this truly feels like a heatwave lol.

Mist, I can't wait to see a pix of that tiger... hopefully with Mr B sitting/standing/bapping it rofl. I hope you are having a great time with them both!

Damian, if you got any happier, you would be floating above us all lol. It is sooo good to see you so happy! I will keep good energy going for you that you find a new home soon!

Celtie, if you got to see that iceberg, I hope you got pictures!

I am so glad your visit went well with your daughter, son in law and grandson! So cool! We called our son, but he was so tired that we didn't keep him. His working hours have really been something lately; and he is still taking classes for his degree as well as going to martial arts classes every night. I vaguely remember being that young and having that much energy... key word here is vaguely lol

Now, as for R names for girls... hmmm,

How about:

Rowan (of course! - It's a derivative of Rowena as far as names go... I just like the tree so Rowan is good lol), Rachel, Robyn, Ruby, Rhonda, Rowena, Rose, Roselyn,  Rosemary, Rosemarie, Rebecca, Ruth, Ruthann, Roseanne (in various spellings ;-), Roberta, Raylynn, RaeAnn, Raia, Raine, Raya, Rayne, Rhiannon, Regina (Regena), Riley, Reina, Renate, Reva, Rita,  Roxy, Rosalie...

I can't think of any more at the moment, but I know I will after I post this lol.

Anyway, my phone keeps ringing off the hook today so I best get going before I lose this post.

I hope you all have a fantastic rest of the day.

Oh, btw: I put up a new topic of the month... remember, it is under the Candle Shrine on the sideboard. I know it is early, but I didn't want to forget what I was thinking so I just went ahead and put it up a couple of days early lol. Please pop over and see what you think, if you have some time between now and the end of January roflmbo!

Bright Blessings to you all!
