My brother is driving in tomorrow for a nice visit before he leaves for the US Marine Raider Reunion. He is looking to resign as Veep hoping they turn positions over to the new young Raiders [special operators]. I look forward to his visit. And I need him to help me get down a big box in the garage with my poinsettia lighted fake plant for Christmas. :wink:

What an awesome early Christmas present for you and such an honor for him. You have every right to be proud. :merrygift:

Sorry to hear you are feeling under the weather Christmas friend. And the heat always makes being sick more miserable. :| Prayers for a quick recovery. :ornwave:

I'm looking forward to the cooler temps too. Especially this fall.
After Christmas, the warmer temps will be welcome again. :D

No magic Christmas reindeer showed up to clean my kitchen so I did it myself. Then I cooked supper and had to clean it again. :rudolph1: :rudolph1: :rudolph1:
