Matty Bottles Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Seriously, I can't wait until the season starts. I am jonesing for some good times with my awesome pirate buddies. God, it's unbearable. Maybe this wasn't worth it's own thread, but seriously, I'm dying over here for some events. And I just went to TWO events in the last month! I might be hooked, people. "The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning." - Capt. Joshua Slocum
Mary Diamond Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Agreed ~ But, Spring is just around the corner ~ and then I shall be busy beyond imagine. I wonder when they will start the sales season (landscape design/nursery) this year? Oooh, shiny!

"I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/

Matty Bottles Posted March 5, 2008 Author Posted March 5, 2008 Hmmm up in the seventies here... **eyes narrow as he looks over his crewe members**Oi Mr. Bottles and Mistress Diamond, get yerselves down to Virginia, I shall put ye to work... the lazy lot of ye. Drag along Lady B as well... no point her sitting around doing nothing! I have peeps in VA - my sister and her family live in Arlington. Of course, if I went and didn't spend every moment with them, it would filter through the family network until I wouldn't be able to show my face at a family event, which, I confess, is not always a bad thing.
