3. Eat in some of the little inns and pubs in France, England and Austraila.

2. Come over and lets have lunch and play cards.

6. Be sure and turn out the lights...

**************
8 THINGS THAT ATTRACT ME TO MY BEST FRIENDS:
There are no 8 things that attract me to my best friends....I just love them for who they are.
The most thankful thing, however, is that they love ME, with all my failings. I am blessed.
******8 people who should totally do this MEME....and it is HARRRRRD!!
****
SO MANY HAVE DONE THIS AND I KNOW HOW BUSY EVERYONE IS AT THIS TIME OF YEAR. IF YOU'VE NOT PLAYED AND WOULD LIKE TO, PLEASE DO.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hi BJ,
I enjoyed your answers and I just did it and posted this tag. I like it, it is always fun. Stop by anytime!
Suzy
Loved your answers to the tag. In case I don't "see" you again until after Christmas (I am not too sure how often I will get my computer once my "boys" are home). May the Peace of Our Lord Jesus Christ be with you during this holiday season, and all the days after.
Love and hugs.
Oh bj, I've missed so many of your posts, I don't know where to start! Loved your chicken and dumplings - yum! Those cookies oookies looked scrumptious, and I loved your holiday plate and Christmas stocking. Loved reading all about you, and I can just picture you in that red convertible! :)
Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas!
xoo,
Mary
bj....I wish that Santa Claus brings you that red convertible!!!! You would be awesome behind the wheel!! I still can't get over the fact that you will be 70 in little more than a week. I want to be you when I'm 70 and I'm determined to "see" 70!!!! You are an inspiration!!
I wanted to come and say hello, and to wish you and your family a very blessed Christmas. I wish you happiness, joy, laughter and lov this season and only the very best of everything for the coming year!!
