Have been doing those Christmas theme ones with my grandson, and already have a couple of the other sets waiting for next Christmas. Traditional Christmas dinner when we are away from home. Many others had the same idea. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I had to quickly scroll past your photo so I didn’t how many stitches but I hope you have the same cream we have here that makes the stitching scars virtually disappear. Thank you @aussielozzie18 Paulines cousin lives in Adelaide and they are in daily contact so she will ask her. Her husband was at the Adelaide cricket ground the other day watching the 2nd ashes test match.☹️ I hope you had a lovely Christmas day. Take care and stay safe.

He is a fast bowler and if one side of the ball is shiny it helps the ball seam and swing which makes it more difficult for the batsman to know if the ball will swing in to him or away from him.

It was really good! We tried a new method for our prime rib. 250 for two hours, then 500 for 15 minutes. We usually do the reverse, put it in at 500 for 15 minutes then drop the heat. My friend in NJ does it your way......dh says he'll try your method next year.😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of cricketers especially fast bowlers have red marks on their trousers off the red cricket ball where they try hard to keep the shine on one side of the ball while the other side is dull. This is what causes the ball to swing and is a big asset to a fast bowler. Graham. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted December 26, 2021 #41989 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Well today I get to take the time and reflect on the last few days. Christmas Eve we celebrated with our daughter and son in law. Dinner consisted of: Shrimp cocktail to start Prime Rib Twice baked potatoes Green Bean casserole Caesar salad Hawaiian rolls Dairy Queen Oreo Blizzard cake for dessert. Then, opened gifts and just relaxed and did something old fashioned, we talked as a family. Christmas morning had a breakfast brunch Consisted of Blueberry waffles Sausage and bacon Scrambled eggs Rye toast No pictures because we all agree graciously it was a time of people and not electronics. Then One off my best friends had surgery a few weeks back and the family she has left, well, she thought Christmas spirit would bring them together....................it did not. So we packed up a Christmas meal and took the gifts already bought, that I was going to deliver this week over yesterday.........................the look on her face, was all it took to make my Christmas complete. Then what to do what to do for Christmas dinner. It would be just me and the spouse. We did not want leftovers. A couple carry outs were open. Vietnamese, Mediterranean, and Chinese to name a few. We settled and enjoyed General TSO Chicken, and flied lice, and egg rolls of course in quacker sauce. Today is our DD's 27th birthday and of course being the literate mom that I am posted on that other media site. Take care. Keep the joy and happiness of the Christmas Spirit alive and live it every day ♥️ 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted December 26, 2021 #41996 Share Posted December 26, 2021 This is the first holiday week in 3 years since we have all (kids, spouses, and grandkids) been together as a family. Looking forward to enjoying the sun and sand in Fort Lauderdale this week. The kids lucked out that none of their flights were cancelled, and they even arrived early. Drove by Port Everglades this morning, and saw all the ships there. This time next Sunday, we will be waiting to board in Miami. I am already eyeing next January’s cruise, and hope to book it onboard. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not video him this year as he is out on his own and 22. But I will always have his video to remember every Christmas. Here is the video of Jonathan Christmas Through The Years. That is so awesome and very moving! What a precious treasure you created over the years. ❤️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
