NO WAY THIS IS A HILLBILLY...................

I'm thinking Mexican or Iranian!

PIC From the Bush Christmas Party at "THE RANCH", last year!

OK, WHERE DID EVERYONE GO?

Well, I don't know why no one but Darrell and me have posted anything this week.....I doubt any of you are any busier than me. Besides, I see you looking and if you be looking, you can be posting.

I have received NO emails regarding my previous post about doing something special for our one year blog anniversary. What a surprise.

So what I propose is that EACH of you take a picture of your immediate family in front of, beside of, or around your Christmas tree/decorations. I say immediate family because some of you have enough family to go around the tree in Rockefeller Center. Then once you have the picture downloaded onto your computer, email it to DARRELL so he can do us up a little slideshow (surprise, Darrell!) and I will provide an appropriate post for it. By "appropriate", I mean witty or touching or both. I may even write you a little Christmas story if you act nice.

I'd like to think it goes without saying these pictures should be in good taste.....no nose picking, middle finger raising or hilljack posing please. Having said that, I'm sure we'll be bombarded with exactly those types of pictures. Ha. Ha. Very funny. Move it along now, nothing to see here.

Please submit these pictures to Darrell no later than the 15th of December so he can assemble them. Yes, I did say the 15th of December. You got the camera, you got the computer, you got clothes (which you ARE required to wear) and you got your trees up. Gather round, snap the picture and email it. Doesn't have to be perfect...it's the Coots Connection, not America's Next Top Model Family.

For those of us around here without a digital camera, I'm sure Ray will be glad to come round and play photographer. I love delegating, I mean volunteering people to do stuff.

Darrell, I'm thinking Elvis for the Xmas music for the slide show. I'm also partial to Nat King Cole. You can also never go wrong with TSO. Just a few suggestions.

Now then, don't you wish you'd been posting all week so I didn't have to go all Moderator #1 on your asses?

Uh huh.

HILLBILLY CUSTOM CHOPPER!!!!!!

AND NOW BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING...

We had a nice holiday weekend, time spent with Peg, Johnny, John and Zach, Brandy and Mike. Mike, Ray and Pete went to the boat on Saturday - they claimed no winnings. Everyone came over to my place Saturday night for games and to party like a rock star (according to Brandy). The festivities lasted until after 2 a.m. for some of us. We played Trivial Pursuit (Kim won!) and Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader? ( and found out most of us aren't! - Mike, Peg & Zach's team won), sat around and talked and just had a good time. Thanks to Brandy for the munchies she provided and Doug & Kathy for the Red Velvet Cake (yummy!). It was my first party at my place and it was nice to have everyone there - Brandy figured at one time we had around 15 to 20 people.

We also did some visiting over the weekend at Doug's and Pete's.

We missed the ones who weren't there again this year, as we always miss them: Mark, Darrell and Rick. Someday we will all be together again, I hope!!!

So, it was fun while it lasted and now we go back to our regular old lives. We have a lot to be thankful for....not the least of which is cell phones!!!
