You, RFN, 2011....
 

Assuming this hasn't been done for the new year...

Pete and I went to Garnet Hill Lodge for our 20th wedding anniversary. We skied at Yellowstone for our honeymoon, so this appealed to us at this milestone. They have a lot of groomed trails, but we tended toward the back country stuff. Good skiing but it was a little thin on base in the back country since they hadn't much snow until recently. The groomed trails were in great shape.

Wow! Happy Anniversary. You both look great, and you, Griff, look especially lucky.

The mm is sitting on my lap and she asked me if the photo of you was me. Then she asked me if you were the husband of "that girl." When I told her yes she asked "Why did that girl travel so far in the snow to find a husband?"

Indeed. I expect it would have been the other way around.

Brilliant, mm has keen observation skills. :)

Knowledge of my good fortune does keep me on the straight and narrow.

Congrats Griff and Pete! :)

Lovely smiley happy faces. That's what I like to see on a nasty rainy Tuesday morning :D

Congratulations!

Now she wants to know why her name is Pete.

That was her college nickname derived from her maiden name, the most common in Sweden.

Now I have to explain college, nicknames, and maiden names to a three year old? I'll just tell her that's what her parents called her.

Do it. You've got quite a sharpie there.

Wimp.

Just stick to the nickname story. She'll understand that. I bet you have all sorts of nicknames for her already. Don't you sometimes call her peanut, princess, little bit, or some such?

No wonder our kids hate me. I call them Herbert Gerbil, Spunky Chuckwagon and ThOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!

Thor is a pretty sweet nick, the others not so much.

I explained it and she figured out the nick name thing pretty quickly, identifying her own and everyone else's.

She still couldn't figure out the snow angle and how that related to getting married, and why Pete's maiden name was Pete...

Griff lives surrounded by pretty females all the time... even his goats are pretty. :haha:

What a lovely picture! We should all aspire to be so happy by our 20th... You can tell you guys are Good People.

that's a fact jack!

That's what they say about all the serial killers.

well i was just minding my own business when i ate some coco puffs about the time tony the tiger wanted to beat the shit out of some elves when all of a sudden cap'n crunch showed up and slew everyone but trix and that made me a little jumpy so i did apple jacks.

How'd you get your dick in that little hole?

:D

Drunk you, I'm fuck again...RF fo' in th' moanin'.:drunk:

A few people told me this was a good picture although I don't understand why. This was last Thursday.

That is a beautiful picture. I think possibly because it seems to have caught you in an unguarded moment. The warmth in your face is compelling.

Also, that dress and hairstyle? Drop dead gorgeous.

the best photos are those that are not posed for. imo. period.

Because you're a very attractive young lady.

You look lovely Tulip.
I picture you dressed in a cheongsam all the time now :)

Lovely Pic Tulip !!!

wow tulip!! i like that pic

Tulip! Very nice.... :thumb:

she is more beautiful than a tulip. more like a field of blue bonnets in full bloom. just sayin'.

Tulip
Clean as a lady
Cool as glass
Fresh without fragrance
The tulip was

The craftsman who
Carved her from metal prayed
"Live o thou lovely"
Half metal she stayed

(Humbert Wolfe)

Having my hair cut tomorrow, might fling you a pic then.

Thank you everyone for the nice words. :)

Please picture me in this dress cuz the other isn't so nice. :p:

Speak like a true Texan. :lol: But have you seen a field of tulips in full bloom? I haven't either but the pictures are pretty. :D

Nice poem. I shall be waiting for your picture. ;) By the way, I'm getting bored of my hair. Thinking of getting a pixie haircut once the weather warms up. What ya think? :D

Pink or Purple suites you best I think , but Blue could be cool to ;)

Umm.......Are you talking about hair color? I was thinking of changing my hairstyle rather. :p:

heck go for the gold! make it skittles color!

I was thinking of changing my hairstyle
That to Tulip
Are you talking about hair color?
Yes
here's what I got so far

she's not old enough to be a blue hair!! :lol2:

:eyebrow:

:D

Did you catch my post where I say I live with my mom who's conservative and old-fashioned? I may be 40 yrs. old but I won't be able to get away with a radical hair color. :p: A while back I highlighted my hair red. You can see the brightness of the red on my black hair even indoor. Boy, my mom was very unhappy for a long while. Said it looked like a horse's tail. :lol:

All the More reason to Dye it GREEN or sum such !!!

Yea, dye it green and tell her it is for your new found love of the Irish and that you always wanted to be Irish. Do for St. Pats Day. :)

I'm keeping everything crossed that we have "wear something red" for Comic Relief in March. The school is already selling the Red Noses so I assume we'll be doing something. I'll definitely wear a red wig if we do. Yay, bright hair again!

Current hair following haircut/ recolour on Thursday - you can see my fat cat in the background. Actually looking fatter than he is because he's squished out over the sofabed arm.

I love your hair! What a cute picture. :)

I love it, too! A real Strawberry Queen!

Love it Cherry colored hair on Cherry !!!

I was gonna say cute hair and pretty hair color when I re-read this sentence. We shall wait for a picture on Thursday. :D

Tree Fae RF This Afternoon, studying Reed Timmer's Dominator. Yes, I know how that sounds.

Splode and tree fae returns !!!

I check in pretty regularly, but somehow seldom find that I have much to say.

I've missed you Els. xx

eta: I signed in specially to say that.

Good to see yah lad. Is that on display somewhere?

Oh 'Spode, I miss you SO much.
Please try to squeeze out a couple of drops (post-wise) for us every now and then.

You know we lost our other elder statesman, right?
Bruce is awol and although we're not lacking gravitas we are short of levity.

great to see you back!!

Pretty as the morning...:joylove:

Thanks, Gravdigr. How are you doing? Are you feeling better? :)

spode! good to see a post by ya brothah!

I gotta do something about how fat my face is... (rfn one week ago)

You've got a pretty big blackhead on your cranium as well.

That's the silicon chip inside his head that switched to "overload."
