So I will fly the kids out and every so often I will go along but it really is a time for the grandparents to spoil the grandkids (in which de-programming them when they get home has been getting harder every year). You sound like you are a golfer family. My step father was the Founder of Bishop's Bay Country Club in Madison WI and my brother-in-law and and sister own Dodge Point Country Club in Dodgeville WI. You would think I would know how to golf? I really do not like it AT ALL. Yes it is VERY beautiful at Ruttger's.<BR/><BR/>CC- When we visit Bay Lake (which is outside Brainard) we always fly into Minnesota and get to stay at the Totem Pole Hotel and go to MALL OF AMERICA and have fun....weeeeee you betcha ...slang MN talk :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-78858080355806099712009-03-18T23:41:00.000-05:002009-03-18T23:41:00.000-05:00C.C.

The comics are smaller & the horoscope now appears at the bottom of that page rather than on the "Take Five" page.<BR/><BR/>RE: Jehu In II Kings 9:20 the city watchman reported to king Joram of Israel,that a company of men was approaching and "the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously." The Message version says, "He drives crazily." When Joram rode out to meet him, Jehu shot him & took over as king. So driving like Jehu would be fast and possibly recklessly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-29001241216279400932009-03-18T23:23:00.000-05:002009-03-18T23:23:00.000-05:00redsmitty, Sorry I didn't answer you earlier.

The Amazon copy is TOO expensive, so click on "22 new from $15.66". The second one down is an Australian company. The shipping is $2.98, but because it is coming from Oz, it takes a week or so for it to arrive. Otherwise order from any of the other vendors listed. I initially heard about this singer on NPR and searched around for his CD. It took quite some time for the price to come down - I was unwilling to pay $50 for it - but finally it did!DoesItinInkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12704832430972690533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-53172553764714012202009-03-18T21:32:00.000-05:002009-03-18T21:32:00.000-05:00Megan Follows played Anne in Anne of Green Gables ...Megan Follows played Anne in Anne of Green Gables back in the 80's.

Really, I think there should be a sort of crossword law that prohibits inane, esoteric crosses like CLUJ and JEHU, HRA and ROLAND, and ROSEN, PEDRO crossing with GERRY Mulligan! Then there was the Greek corner with PHOCIS and OENONE side by side. I have visited Delphi twice and read a lot of Greek mythology and epics and do not recognize either of these. Oh, and there is the cross of IMARET and GRU, both unknowns. Bleh!<BR/><BR/>@cc…A thought about remembering IMARET is somehow to associate it with “minaret”. <BR/><BR/>@Kazie…I finally received the CD I ordered from Oz today by the Aboriginal singer Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu.

Took me almost all day (off and on) but finally finished with a little help. Last fill was 45d. What was it referring to -----language?<BR/>or shoes?<BR/><BR/>I can relate to the Tom Cruise schooling experience since by the age of fourteen I had attended more than 60 schools. That's the way it was in the 30's when my dad operated a "Traveling Tent Show". Don't think the school systems would permit that sort of thing in this day and time. My term in each town was usually less than a week.JIMBOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934491040910020956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-77303087869872667082009-03-18T19:11:00.000-05:002009-03-18T19:11:00.000-05:00Crocket1947-Thanks for your help.T.
