Appreciation of Appreciation


There is a wonderful group of women that has invited me into their group for stamping and scraping. We get together about once a month and our September gathering happened to fall on the 11th. Our ring leader, my fabulous boss Lynn, suggested this would be a wonderful opportunity to reflect and appreciate our military, firefighters, and police. So we dedicated the day to making thank you cards for these brave individuals. We all brought the names and addresses of friends and family who are serving or have served our country and Lynn took care of the mailing. Chris and Scott were very excited when they received their cards and ran around bragging to all the other guys. Here they are showing them off.

Revenge

The latest story from Travis aka Mongo:

Just for a chuckle, I will tell you about how I got Chris. Apparently, he was getting bored. Either that, or he somehow sensed my conspiring to get my squirt gun back. In any case, he came into my room, dug it out of where he had concealed it and let me have it . . . with the squirt gun! Then he gives it back and scurries out of my room to the relative safety of his own room. AND he comes out later to pummel me with the womp’em stick, too. But I got him . . . I waited for him to go next door to see the boss and then I struck. I went into his room and squirted down his office chair leaving it completely soaked. (Before you begin to feel sorry for Chris, he has done this to me on 3 separate occasions. Twice I saw it and once I sat down w/o seeing it and got soaked!) Well, I of course lock my door in anticipation of the pummeling I will receive. Chris returns and tries my door, only to find it locked. I immediately labeled as “Rude”, and he returns to his room. I come out to go next door for something and I hear Chris call me a dirty name. I thought he had spotted my ambush earlier, when he tried my door. Chris had just sat down in his chair! He said he never saw it coming! I giggled like a little school girl! I had finally exacted “some” revenge for the torment I have received!

I never knew two grown men could make me laugh so hard. Love, Rhe
