m-fay a Keurig is a wonderful (I love mine) 1 cup coffee brewer.

There a so many different kinds/flavors of coffee, tea, hot cocoa,
and any other hot beverage you can think of.

Here is a like to the Keurig website.

Awww, I'm sorry you missed joining us, this year! {{{{{hug}}}}} Come on down and join us in the hole. I'm sure Cooky will let you have her current Mimosa. Bless her heart, she's already had at least half a dozen . . . and you could probably just finish that one off for her, then convince her she finished it, herself! :D

Thanks for hosting the ornament swap. I've been watching for it 'cuz I know it comes about the same time as SS. Put me down for 2.

I KNOW! I KNOW! :P ha ha ha

SheriR

S.p.l.a.t.t.t.t.t.t.t.t.t.

Jaba, sorry for the loss of your brother. I don't now what I'd do without mine either.

I guess I missed the 2nd questionaire, but here's some answers:

buttons - not really
zippers - nope
coffee, tea, soda - coffee, unsweetened ice tea or hot tea in winter. Prefer water to soda
put up Christmas tree - yep
Ornaments - love handmade ones. I keep a tree up all year with them in my studio from the exchanges
Grandkids - yep! none near by
I don't like gray! I looked at it for too many years!

Still no more info on my Santaee. Guess they'll get what they asked for only.

Machel doesn't get to play this one because she was with me when I ordered it.

HEY NO FAIR :(
I play but my answers don't count because I would always win teheheh

Machel gets to play with the machine when it comes in.

Michelle, Good to see you again! Loved the ornaments you sent last year and will be looking for the post for the swap also. I told Terri, earlier about how many posts I was going to have to read to find what machine she had, and see said we have to guess :( she has not posted it any place. Haven't asked if I can guess more than once. There is Ham and old fashion macaroni casserole on the food table. Has any one seen the Cabana boys? I would like a Mimosa.

Don't think you have me but just to help who ever is my Santa.

Dedemac, nice to see you along with everyone else again. My house has been a circus for the past 9 months or so. I thought this summer was a killer and I would get some R&R when school started. Nope even more things to do. I have become the typical soccer/volunteer junkie mom that most of the other women hate. I am tired but feeling great at the same time. I have got to spend so much more time with my kids in their element and its been insightful as well as fun. I have one graduating this year who was elected Senior class President, one who is a junior and started VoTech this year. The 12 year old moved to the Junior High and is playing football there, then still have the 10 and 8 year old at the Elementary. Along with that I have started helping a friend with her business once or twice a week, volunteer at the school as much as possible, still helping all the kids with 4H, doing fundraisers, going to the games, and now hosting some swaps. Oh Oh Oh, I have turned into June Cleaver, help. LOL Anyway, having tons of fun along with some frustration with it, but it is so worth it to see the smiles on their faces. anything for my kids.

Now onto the good stuff, must go get that post up for the orns. See ya later ladies and could someone bring some pizza to the hole please. LOL

Those buttons are really cute! Poor Neesie, don't let that extra stitch unravel you.
