1:38 am
grannyrose
just 16 days to go, or maybe 17.... the time zones confuse me.... anyway it's very soon. loll.... i sat down and charted against all the dates until we fl out. we have only FOUR days free of anything which must be done.
1:39 am
sprite
you will be totally pooped when you finally fly, lol
1:39 am
grannyrose
i am gonna need a holiday... oh, that's right, i am going on a holiday.....
1:40 am
sprite
*giggles* Guess we will take it very easy the first week. Let's face it, just sitting together and talking and hugging will be quite enough to content our hearts.
1:40 am
grannyrose
i so agree....
1:41 am
grannyrose
and this time i will have the time to do just that... sit quietly, reading, chatting, dvd's whatever... such a nice feeling.
1:42 am
sprite
we are gonna watch queer eye! And cry, lol. How about the Donster? Will he enjoy being en route by himself, taking pictures and all? Or do we have to find him stuff to do while we watch dvd and chat and chat and chat?
1:43 am
sprite
oh, how about that photograpy museum? Was he enthusiastic about that?
1:43 am
sprite
I found my notes from last time... one of the things we will do is going to Scheveningen, to the beach and the pier.
1:44 am
grannyrose
not really, until i pointed out that Rob was also very interested in photography. the the whole mood changed...
1:44 am
grannyrose
is that the beach and pier where you can just about drive right up to?
1:46 am
sprite
yes exactly
1:46 am
grannyrose
what about egmond?
1:47 am
sprite
egmond is close by, we can go there too
1:47 am
grannyrose
either or i guess. depends on the weather.
1:48 am
sprite
if the weather cooperates, the beach is enjoyable. But that is always a gamble here, lol... the weather is very changeable. We will play it by ear
1:50 am

I will be pretending not to hear, grin... and offer him herring anyway. It is tasty. Dutch treat.
1:53 am
grannyrose
if you do, you may need ear plugs... i tend to scream, very loudly... lolll
1:53 am
sprite
lolllllll no problem. I will scream right along with you then. If I dare.
1:54 am
grannyrose
*giggling* what a time we're gonna have...
1:55 am
sprite
it is gonna be awesome. We will have memories to last us years and years
1:55 am
sprite
which reminds me... tell the Donster that this time I want to see the pictures... still waiting for the ones of your last visit...
1:56 am
grannyrose
rofllollll... we are bringing them. they're all on his laptop...
1:57 am
grannyrose
and you can pick the ones you want him to send to your puter.
1:57 am
sprite
awesome! Can't wait. If I can get them on mine, I will make an album online for babblers to see. And we will make another one of this visit!
1:58 am
grannyrose
anyway, what are you on about? it's only been TWO YEARS !!!!
1:59 am
sprite
roflolololllll omg indeed.... we know... men do not forget their promises... we shouldn't nag and remind them every 6 months...
1:59 am
grannyrose
we like to take our time doing stuff over here. don't want to hurry things.
2:00 am
sprite
oh rose, I took a shower yesterday... what a total bliss... to be clean all over... well, except the one leg, but okay. Maybe next week... fingers crossed...
2:00 am
grannyrose
oh honey.... what a treat......i bet you felt every drop of water too.
2:01 am
sprite
sure did. washed my hair, such a blessing too.
2:02 am
grannyrose
awwww, how lovely. it's so nice knowing when your hair is squeaky clean.
2:03 am
sprite
I am usually very picky about my hair being clean. It is very frustrating that I cannot be right now, grin. If I do not have to have a new cast next week, I will be able to get back to regular showers.
2:04 am
grannyrose
praying for that result....
2:06 am
sprite
me too :D Thanks sweetie. From your heart to the Big Guy's ears...
2:07 am
grannyrose
remember the dry shampoo stuff? i never tried it.. couldn't stand the thought of putting more stuff into my hair which was already dirty. ugh
2:07 am
sprite
same here. I know it exists. But it goes right against my grain to do it
2:11 am

2:11 am

a big *hug* for the both of you, honey. Take care of you. Counting down now!
2:12 am

10:46 am
NatashaW
It makes them sound like they're golfing in puff sleeves and short skirts!!
10:47 am
rururocks
that would make it difficult to bend over to pick up the golf ball though
10:47 am
NatashaW
well, really, can you imagine any golfer who'd be happy to be referred to as a pr7??
10:49 am
rururocks
not really .. most of them are gay so i'd imagine they'd be offended
10:50 am
NatashaW
I'm not gay but I'd sure be offended. Don't think it has much to do with sexual orientation. Has to do with not enjoying being put down and belittled!
