Summary of events of Christmas Vacation 2009
We're changing our last name to Griswold
Here's a summary of the highlights of Xmas vaca 2009, for your parusal:
1. Our Pathfinder was totaled. While it was parked. By a teenager
backing out of his parents' driveway. TOTALED. 2. Mom got sick. :-
( 3. Tracy got stomach flu 4. Steve's folks house caught fire 5. Tire
blew 6. Flight canceled 7.furnace broke 8. Nine degrees outside 9. Got
bumped from next flight. Which means... 10. Christmas vacation STILL
not over. What next?!? LOL!!!
Ps - light in garage just blew too.
Sent from my iPhone.
Day Nineteen. Hostage.
Cincinnati for another day. So, deciding to make the best of it, we
started In on the house and worked until it was time for lunch.
Because it was 9 degrees outside, we turned the heater up a little so
the house would be nice and toasty for us when we got back. Instead,
we brought our full tummies home to a cold house reeking of burning
electronics. Oh yes. The furnace blower seized. So. The next hours
were spent on the phone trying to find anyone who wasn't already
overbooked and who could come out and fix the furnace. By the time we
got through those 247 phone calls, the inside temperature was quickly
matching the outside temp, and we were sitting huddled over the oven
trying to stay warm. Just in case you're wondering, 450 degrees is the
perfect setting for warming fingers and toes. Since the blower motor
was apparently spot welded in at some point in time, the whole
apparatus had to be replaced. It came as absolutely no surprise that
the part wasn't in the repair guy's aresenal. So. This morning, he's
back, trying to replace it, and I'm grateful to hold this little phone
for the warmth the battery gives off! Steve and I were holding strong
until we went to check in for today's flight... Only to find that we
were going to be bumped of of all of today's flights.
There may have been tears.

Christmas Gala
Steve and I went to the Christmas Gala on base last weekend... what a great time! I've still yet to download my pictures, but here's a few from friends' cameras. Steve made quite the impression with his dance moves. I've been told I should be the "most proud wife at Ramey Base!" LOL!
And, here's Steve's longtime friend and roommate's comment to me:
"Tracy (my dear), Steve doing the splits has been no less than bathroom wall knowledge since the early 80's. It is believed that Steve had to go "under ground" with this ability for many years, due to the fact that "Angel flight" slacks could not stand up to his super human flexability in heavy dicotechque competitions.(Even John Travolta avoided ... this well documented fact) also, A major groin injury at the hight of his illustrious career forced him into early retirement, but the competetive nerve in him is often seen during alcohol related weather phenomnon referred to "drunk fronts" moving through your area.......... please~ just be wary, I thought as a close personal friend you should know this! ; ) He was the guy that coined "Bust -A- Move"....for gods sake!"

Because we need a little Christmas right this very minute
couple of weeks. Many apologies! It's been such a fun, busy time! And
I have tons of pictures, but I haven't taken the time to download any
of them yet, and I just kept thinking that I would do a mass posting
and keep everything in order.... Yeah. Didn't happen. Anyways, last
night was the official lighting of the Christmas tree here on base. We
had so much fun! Lots of singing, laughing, a brass orchestra, tractor
rides, and then an absolutely heavenly dinner of pinos. I am
officially in the Christmas spirit!
