Default And from me
The same thoughts and good wishes as have already been expressed by all.
My thoughts to the Christchurch people who were hit with three good sized earth quakes this afternoon, one being a magnitude 6.0. No fatalities or serious injuries reported so far.
Chris(tine) and I have our family coming to us this time. We look forward to a great time with them, and wishing you people in the many corners of our planet, the same. ....Peace on earth.

To all our MLU friends and Family..
I don't want much for Christmas, I just want the person reading this to be happy .
Friends are the fruit cake of life - some nutty, some soaked in alcohol, some sweet - but mix them together and they're my friends.
Alex
Some Christmas Cowboy music for your enjoyment..

Default Merry Christmas and Seasons Greeting from NH
Hi All

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas, Seasons Greetings, Happy Hanukkah and a Happy New Years to all.

We haven't had real snow since the end of October so this picture was taken years ago. The trucks are snuggled up in their garage bays though I did have Beauty out for a run yesterday.



Cheers Phil

Default White Christmas
Well down here in Melbourne it was hot and sweaty for most of the day then we scored a white Christmas after all with a massive hailstorm.



Which was then followed by flash flooding.



In fact we were actually cut off by floodwaters for the first time in over 20 years.

A Christmas day to remember.

Crikey,Keith, totally the opposite of what I would have expected, but that old saying about Melbourne, all four seasons in one day!

Meanwhile 100kms south of Keith we had blue skies with sun and warmth and a light wind. Not a drop of rain. We watched the news in amazement.

Hoping all had a fun and happy Christmas.

Default Happy Boxing Day
Opened my e-mail this morning to a number of advertising e-mails about special Boxing Day sales Amazon is be so crass to have a Boxing Week Sale.

But more in the keeping of Boxing Day and the tradition of changing places in the household, I offer to do the house cleaning if wife would finish greasing the truck in the shop. For some reason this was not accepted in the spirit of goodwill and humor that it was suggested.

So to all the MLU family Happy Boxing Day.


Cheers Phil
