Big Wheels Keep on Turning in a New Gypsy Year

Kenmore, NY(Zone 6a)

A New Year of Gypsy Fun
Fresh new beginnings in the Garden of Life
May your troubles be composted
May your dreams grow straight and tall toward the sun
And unfold into petals of laughter and love

May you have smiles all the day long
And friends and loved ones to help you along the way
My wish for all my Gypsy friends
I love you all, let’s get those Big Wheels turning

Morning Smiley,
That is so nice..

I need coffee, I hear it brewing

Kenmore, NY(Zone 6a)

Good morning JJ. Did Dillon make it to the New Year also?

I dozed in & out, like I usually do. Our neighbors had a party with a few other neighbors. They all have little kids. DH looked out the window & saw one of the moms stumbling home with her cardboard tiara all askew. A funny sight.

Woodhull, IL(Zone 5a)

Yes he made it, and was still up watching scooby doo when I went to bed.
Don't know what time him and granpa made it to.

Leicester, NC(Zone 8a)

Thank You flowers, I had to watch a spooky movie to stay up that late.
Watched the unborn. Not one of the better movies I've seen but kept me awake.

Leicester, NC(Zone 8a)

Too Cute JJ, he looks in aw of that thing lol. Does it get stuck in places and you have to move it? Not Dillon the vacume lol

(Zone 5b)

good morning! happy new year! :)
JJ Dillon looks so cute...
who needs coffee refill?
I slept immediately after eating lobster till the kids woke me as the ball was dropping....then I was awake till 3 AM.....
ok ladies finish your coffee, we're going to the gym!

Woodhull, IL(Zone 5a)

No if it gets stuck, it manages to get it self out. Just goes in different direction until it gets out. Under the dining room table around all the chairs it bounces a lot so I just pull out two chairs to give it more room to turn. It gets out without moving them but I don't want it banging into my chairs that much.

It really works good. Didn't know I could get lazier...LOL

Woodhull, IL(Zone 5a)

It's a Holiday gyms not open ....darn...

Dillon shut off the robot said we didn't need no more cleaning LOL

Leicester, NC(Zone 8a)

Morning Lynnie, pump that iron and do those stretches good girl! JJ how long will it run on one charge? I like that thing too, and does it do well on carpet too?

Kenmore, NY(Zone 6a)

There's a Twilight Zone marathon on syfy today. I was watching it for a while last night, I love that show.

Good morning Flowers & Lynnie. Gym? Today?? I need to do something like that... someday...

JJ, I love that room. Looks nice & homey.

Leicester, NC(Zone 8a)

Gotta get greens to cooking and get ready, dinner is at one. Catch you all later, have a good first day of the year.

(Zone 5b)

the gym is pretty crowded for about a month after New Year's *grin*
I have been at the same gym for about 18 years, can you believe it??

JJ don't you wish that vacuum did stairs? lol

Woodhull, IL(Zone 5a)

That would be great Lynnie !

Flowers I'm not sure how long it lasts but it does both my LR and DR and the front porch.

The smaller one I put upstairs last about 45 min I think, I use it in the bedroom. It has carpet and it worked really well. Matter of fact I was really surprised at the amount of stuff I emptied out of it.

But just put it back on charger and its ready for next time.

(Zone 5b)

JJ you gotta get the mop next *grin*

Prairieville, LA(Zone 9a)

Good Morning Gypsies. Happiest of New Year's to you all. Smiley that is just lovely. Thanks so much for the new thread. Made it to midnight also....wish I had had the sense to stay inside...Went out with GS for fireworks....so much cordite the sky was hazy....right up til it started raining....man was that cold.....woke up all snuffy this morning. Oh well...at least I woke up and get another shot at it....grin

I was with you Smiley....watching SYFY and dozing until 11:30.... Something about full tummies and butter that just weighs down the eyes, huh, Lynnie?

Flowers, you know Dixie is gonna say I told you so.....better get a helmet with earmuffs built in. grin. JJ, L'il Dil is just so cute....could just scoop him up and gobble him up with smooches....grin
Happy New Year to you too Joy....

Woodhull, IL(Zone 5a)

I don't go to the gym Lynnie, I need to do something...LOL
But I been watching them on ebay. Would have to be cheap for me to buy one from there but I watch anyway.

But if store ever haves a buy one get one free... bet I'll be there. Or even a good sale. LOL

I want one to unload the diswasher then I would probably use it...

Woodhull, IL(Zone 5a)

He's a keeper for sure moon Thanks. Better have your running shoes on for smooches though. He's at that no way stage, unless you have something he really wants...like scooby doo...LOL

We don't have fireworks here :(

Kenmore, NY(Zone 6a)

My ears hurt when I go our in the cold. DD used to steal my ear muffs ~ called them "earmupps". I still call them earmupps.

We don't have fireworks here either JJ. Maybe downtown, they have a huge family oriented thing down there, too cold for me though. Couldn't see them from my house either.

Woodhull, IL(Zone 5a)

Both my GS's get ear aches if they don't keep their ears covered and one son has a terrible time with his in the cold.

I need to get checkbook balanced and my desk and files cleaned up.
Will be tax time and I won't be ready. Never fails everyone wants them done at same time, and then wants me to work miracles.

Prairieville, LA(Zone 9a)

It varies around the state whether fireworks are legal or not. We have both fireworks and massive bonfires here...just wish I had brought umbrella out with me. GS and I were like some sad country song by the time we got back to the house...Cold, Wet and Hungry (GS....hollow leg). grin Sounds like a war zone at midnight....you don't see an animal out anywhere...all hiding from the noise.

Woodhull, IL(Zone 5a)

Too bad it had to rain.

Guess it don't really matter we don't have any, to cold to stand outside to watch them...grin..
would have to be drunk, crazy or both...

I am sure you got him warm, dry and full in no time....lol

Prairieville, LA(Zone 9a)

The warm and dry was no problem...the full is an ongoing project....grin

Woodhull, IL(Zone 5a)

LOL

Prairieville, LA(Zone 9a)

Guess all the talk of rain and fireworks sent everyone scurrying....Ah well, have a lovely day all...maybe catch up later....

JJ, Have fun chasing the robot and the L'il Dil....grin

Kenmore, NY(Zone 6a)

Deconstruction has begun over here. Want my house back.
Catch you all later, have a great Day 1.

Dronfield, United Kingdom

JJ,your Grandson's so sweet and little in his red suit,bet it's cuddly material:}
Hope you're all having a good day,dark here already,4.30,cold frosty and clear,27f
Back later.

Prairieville, LA(Zone 9a)

Happy New Year Joy. We are supposed to have a cold front move through tonight...low 30's at night mid 40's during the day...supposed to last for nearly a week....that is a long spell for us to have near freezing temperatures.....gotta get out and do a little damage control for the garden...I still have a few dozen things in pots outside....just lazy wishful thinking....grin

Woodhull, IL(Zone 5a)

Thank You Joy, yes its cuddly and soft material.

Moon I need some damage control here too..and not outside LOL

Smiley I have destruction going on LOL

Time to play catch with the nerf ball.
Catch you all later

(Zone 5b)

ok girls are you feeling the burn?? I just had chocolate chip waffles for breakfast, I'm still hungry :) Moon tell your gs to move over I got a hollow leg too.
I have a few things to do this afternoon, then I'm hoping to deconstruct the house later today. The kids are WAAAAY overtired can I give them dinner now & put them to bed? lol

Leicester, NC(Zone 8a)

Hi Joy, hope you had a great visit with your friend. Temps here are gonna be in teens at night for a couple of weeks, gonna have my heating blanket on high lol. Lynnie put em in the bath tub with toys thats what I do with mine :-) JJ now let Dillon win the nerf ball throw! Been watching the Rose Bowl Parade, they have some fabulous floats,wish we had that here, I'd be the first in line! Ok not far to go, gonna go get stuffed and visit with neighbors. Dixie hope you get a short day, bummer working today! c yall!

Prairieville, LA(Zone 9a)

Naps work Lynnie....maybe you can convince them to let you take one....grin Seriously, warm milk is a sedative....give them a cup of cocoa....easy on the chocolate....grin Used to bundle mine in to watch a movie and sip cocoa....usually resulted in 3 sleeping little ones


Flowers have a good visit with the neighbors


Have fun JJ...maybe a shorter nap for the little guy? Grin

Woodhull, IL(Zone 5a)

He's getting a lot shorter nap today.
Son and DIL watched him yesterday while we were at work, so he got that late nap there.

Flowers have good visit with the neighbor, better skip dessert Lynnies tired....

Getting ready to take this one to the garage, he can swing and watch granpa work on my car.....^_^

Prairieville, LA(Zone 9a)

Maybe then the robot can finish the floors....grin

(Zone 5b)

these kids have their grandmother's energy level...they're energizer bunnies, just cranky ones.
I told them they have to sing instead of talk...whining stopped immediately. Unfortunately they can't carry a tune but I'd rather hear singing than whining *grin*

Prairieville, LA(Zone 9a)

I gave my kids Whining jars....plastic peanut butter jars with lids....everytime they started whining I would tell them to save them up in the jar....usually wound up laughing instead of whining

Dronfield, United Kingdom

Moon,even just the name "Whining Jar" makes me want to laugh,it would've when I was a little girl:}
Snowing again here.

Woodhull, IL(Zone 5a)

Funny everybodies talking about whining.
DH just came in after chocolate milk and made the remark if Dillon didn't stop whining he was coming in for a nap.

Is it to early to winter sow these lily seeds? I have some milk jugs and some aluminum cake pans with clear lids (the throw away kind) I was going to use.
No room in house to start them, and not enough light.

I have one of those little greenhouses that have the plastic cover, but never had any luck. Anything that ever grew was leggy and died when transplanted.
