I'm back..........

Post by Rose »

Had a wonderful time the party was a smash. Hubby was super surprised and it just all work amazing!!!!!! My sister and her hubby and my brother and his family all were able to be there to celebrate. Spent Sunday cleaning while my kids and the family went to SF for a fun time of shopping and just hanging out together. Came home for dinner and lots and lots of stories. Monday I got to spend the day with my sister!!!!!! What a great summer event!!!!!!!

Sorry to have left you with the spammer that won't quit. I have asked Chris to help with that as my ACP is not currently working.

Delighted to know you had a wonderful time Rose and that DH was super surprised. All that planning worked beautifully by the sounds of it.

Don' worry about miss persistent. We will just keep reporting her and not reading that rubbish. At least she deserves marks for persistence.

glad your event was so successful. so nice to be w/ family...

as for the spammer... my husband says his group "plays" w/them! his models are 1/72 scale (very tiny) and sometimes they get spammed w/ a hat manufacturer. so the guys order hats for the troops !!! @rotfl:

I thought you might like to see the Engine all framed up and complete.

This is the over all framed piece.

This is the top that has the quote.

Here is the engine.

And this will give an idea of the size. It is propped up against my dining room table.
