the cows have set up the christmas ice skating rink
Not much happens when you're not around, shamey.
Let's see... Ms. P hired me to do her ironing, DG went to the Seminary - to do what, I have no idea, Harris' cows can now fly - watch out for those pies, Girly and Euan... oh yeah, that's still a secret...
I haven't ice skated in years, but I LOVE it. Do you think it's like riding a bicycle? Or would I fall flat on my face if I got on my skates?
you'll be ok miss p the cows wont let ya fall. ohhh saw the new christmas barbie at wal-mart last nite
Ms. P - last time I ice skated was on the Mall, near the Archives. It used to be an ice-skating rink, it's now the sculpture garden for the National Gallery of Art. It was my ex's and my 2nd date. January 1992. Wow.
Memories...
I better top up the health insurance before I skate. Oh, and pick up third party cover for those around me.
DD - it's still there. In the summer it's a huge fountain in the center of the National Gallery of Art's sculpture garden. In the winter it becomes a skating rink, with skates for rent in the building off to the side.
Really? Oh... I thought they had done away with it. Good to know! I thought it was so "DC" to do that.
Nope - it's still there. It's right between the West wing of the National Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian's Natural History Museum (and across Constitution Avenue from the National Archives - as you remembered). I don't think it's open yet for this season but it is scheduled to reopen in mid-November.

Ooooh....Missing all the chat! Ice-skating talk, the Smithsonian..hmmmmmmm...Just brough back some happy winter DC memories.
Wanted to drop a quick hello to the Adults. (Mamie, that is one cool cat in your av!!!)
DD I sent some words to you for a catch up. Yes, I know, at last!!!
Hope everyone is well. It's a glorious autumn here - I've never seen such colours in years. It's almost worth putting up with the wet summer we had just for this.
Love to everyone:)

Thanks pattifan. I was going to change it but she looks like she's dressed for the approaching Christmas holidays so I think I'll keep her around at least until after that.
Harris, did you notice the Barbie tee-shirt being worn by the little guy in my av???
Pattifan!!!
mamie - I think of Little Red when I see that cat.
Hey PF! Nice to see you!
Me too, DD.
Love your av... looks intense. Intense looks.

Hi all before everyone leaves for the day. No internet at school today as something was being worked on. Cold and windy with snow flurries today. I'm tired but I have no place to go so I can just relax tonight after I make dinner, of course.
Poor cold Baddy!!
I know what "snow flurries" are like in Michigan. Here, they would bring the whole city to a crawl!
Snow flurries? Already? Yikes!
We were supposed to clear today, but the fog never quite lifted.
Ok kids... I've gotta get some stuff done.
You are all welcome to enjoy our beautiful Spring day.
I am "poor and cold"....the other good news that goes along with the cold...they filled the oil tank today - just over $1300..ugh! Let's all move to Florida with Harris and the cows!
Hey, I live in Florida and without cows!
Ok, Kids, I'm leaving. I'll see ya'll later!
