Here's something to collectively brag about...

It seems that the FIRST brick for the Chelsea Depot restoration project has been installed. Perhaps you'd like to make a contribution to the second one (a donation to the second has already been made...)

For more donations to our second class brick, please send them to me: 238 Harrison, Chelsea 48118. For your very own brick, see the letter head.

What you braggin' 'bout?

Now I know everyone has something to brag about...okay, it doesn't have to be grandchildren. Could be having a successful hip replacement. How many Trick or Treaters you had at your door!

That's better!

Grandgirl #2 just colored a pumpkin in Uptown Chelsea and never even thought about getting her hair done! This store section of the Chelsea New Market will soon be occupied. Grandgirl #2 didn't really like the sushi tasting, but her grandmother did!

Now, it's your turn to brag. In keeping with Ron's lobby to brag, categories are wide open. Just keep it clean. What are you proud of currently?

Wait a minute!

Is this what a six year old should be doing? Looking sixteen?

New section--braggin' 'bout somethin'

Okay, I admit it: My daughter is gorgeous--as you can readily see. And, my grandgirl #1 was just in a wedding as a flower girl--this is every six year old girl's dream.

Poll #2

Check out the new poll (on the right side of the blog). Once again, you have to reflect on your life a bit before answering. You know me, I like to make people think! As before, anyone checking this site is welcome to vote. Let's see if we can get MORE than 15 responses (that's how many people voted on our last poll). All you have to do to vote is click on the dot and then push the "vote" button. No one can find out how you voted. You can also change your vote if you want before the poll ends. Have fun!

Look at this smile!

This is surely a winner for the smile contest! Now, who is it?

Ron ponders...

"Was this guy in our class?...Am I having a senior moment?...Who is he anyway?"

Social butterfly Barnie

wastes no time focusing on an attractive Bush!

Another guy who turned up....

And, it looks like he was deep in thought about something. I wonder what it was....

Who are these people who got it in gear?

Yes, another play on words! Humor me, please! (We keep seeing Barnie in the pictures--still a social butterfly, I guess.)

Is this cool, or what? Or who?

I thought this picture was cool....And, hopefully you'll get the play on words! Everyone except Doug is invited to guess who is it and post something you remember about her. (Sorry, Doug. You just know too much.)

The conversation

starter sits in the middle and keeps things going!

Two more who "turned up"

I bet you can guess who they are! They haven't changed much...

The results are in....

For those of you who have been wondering how many of us would start over some place at the major life markers, you might have missed the poll results on the right hand side of the page.

It seems that 6% would start over at birth; 6% at elementary school; 6% at junior high school; 13% at college; 13% at marriage; 0% at parenting; 20% wouldn't start over.

Well, I guess it's how you interpret the question. Does start over mean:

1. It was so much fun, I want to do it again!
2. I think I'd start over to do it differently this time.

Which was did YOU interpret the question. I'll come clean on this one. I'd like to start college over again. Although I seriously explored what I wanted to major in, I didn't really have an idea about a career. At that time, a job was a job, not a career for most females. I married during the first year of my "job" and began on my PHT path--putting hubby through. Given the second chance, I'd do it over with a career in mind for me. Which is not to say I'd skip marriage or parenthood.

I'd like to hear how others interpreted the question--#1 or #2 or something else. Your reasoning for choosing what you chose?

Breakfast at Tiffany's?

Or, was it somewhere else? Name that place, and name those folks!

Do you think Dave...

still has the keys? Or, do you think he turned them into the office in 58 when we left? I guess it doesn't matter, since the doors aren't there anymore!....
