A perfectly appropriate celebration would be to have dinner at McDonald's tonight, and I will. Tonight is "McTeacher Night" at our local McDonald's. The teachers at our middle school, including my wife, will be cooking and serving for three hours tonight and a percentage of the proceeds go to the middle school. Nothing better than having McDonald's and raising money for a good cause at the same time.
lol I realized something else I had forgotten , with all the stuff going on around here I forgot to answer my own ?'s the past 2 days
So I am going to go do that before I answer todays ?

Today's Answer: Nice. What is Northern Maine Land Man?
I have a couple neighbors I kind of look after, as they are only on social security and are just barely staying afloat like a lot of people are. I take them out to breakfast when I can whenever I scrape up a few extra bucks and to get them out of the house. And speaking of McDonalds , that's where they like to go as one of their grandchildren worksthere, right down the street from where I live.
A tip of the hat to Charley, that's a COOL thing you're and the Mrs. are doing!
National peanut butter fudge day? Hmmm! Let me see, uh, hmm, oh yea, I know what to say about that-YUMMMSSSS!!!!!!

Its always a pleasant surprise when one of the grandkids makes something in school and brings me their work. I keep everything.
Last surprise thing I did for someone was send my son a case of Yoo-Hoo when he was in Iraq. Thats his favourite drink.
Mittens/gloves? I have a few pairs, one thats for work. But everyone here have at least one pair.
Nice. The other part is: Some hot cocoa and a wood borning stove right now would be....
Well my brother in-law and his future wife just got a gift certifcate to Applebee's for helping them out. They really didn't need to because we're family.

I have a pair of gloves in my good winter coat and my other winter coat.
Is Santa going to say you are naughty or nice this year? Nice (but I might have been naughty)
What was nice surprise thing someone did for you ?
I've always dreamed of having a nice log cabin by a lake somewhere. I think I might still enjoy that, but it seems farther away every day. But, I used to buy a lot of log cabin magazines for floor plan designs, and ideas and inspirations for what I'd want. I would bend the pages for the things I wanted from that page. Also, there were articles I could educate myself on if I was to become a log cabin owner (wood protectors, chinking, etc.) After a while, I had a fairly large stack in the closet. I think it was for my birthday, but one day, my ex-wife (while we were still married) and kids went through all the magazines and cut out the pictures of the things I wanted. They then arranged them in a photo album, effectively creating something I could pretty much just hand a general contractor and show what I wanted. It was great!
What was a nice surprise thing you did for someone else?
My current wife always wanted crystal (Zwarovski), but it was always out of financial reach for her. After we got married, I started a tradition of buying the yearly special Zwarovski Christmas ornament. Since then, I had bought pieces here and there when we had a little extra. One Christmas, since she really didn't have anywhere to display them, I bought and assembled a nice display cabinet for her. (This is a big deal from a guy whose only calluses come from the gym, I'm NOT a handyman as much as I'd like to be!!). I hid the pieces (top part, bottom part, light, etc.) in the kids closets so she wouldn't see them. I assembled it early Christmas morning. I then bought hangars and mirrors from a local craft shop, then arranged all her crystal in the display cabinet. So, when she woke up, it was all there and lit up. The best thing ever was that she liked it so much she cried. That's all I could ask for!!
How many pairs of mittens or gloves do you have in your house?
None.
