That's so cool to have the link to your history. Sorry to hear about the tree...they become big old friends when we aren't even looking, and then suddenly, they are gone. <BR/><BR/>Hope you find something just right to replace it!<BR/><BR/>Great Rug shots, as always!!Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14337889899066280559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7496121.post-23965253642466894452008-09-21T14:34:00.000-04:002008-09-21T14:34:00.000-04:00STIM: Thanks, and yes, it does feel like a piece o...STIM: Thanks, and yes, it does feel like a piece of history. It was a witness to my parents buying the place, me and my brothers coming home from the hospital and so much more. It definitely was time for it to go, but it still isn't easy to see that big empty space there!<BR/><BR/>ATG: Yes, full contact Twister, with paramedics standing by (literally)! And on the tree subject, we plan to plant a new one.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11542750642334339031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7496121.post-712067557761158322008-09-20T07:25:00.000-04:002008-09-20T07:25:00.000-04:00The fourth picture down reminded me of Twister for...The fourth picture down reminded me of Twister for some reason. I thought "right foot, red" when I saw it. :)<BR/><BR/>Too bad about the tree. Perhaps you can plant a new one in its place?A DChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283638280241600934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7496121.post-88835131806809731312008-09-19T12:52:00.000-04:002008-09-19T12:52:00.000-04:00Yaaay rugby photos!

Living history some growing well over a hundred years and with a few seconds of using a saw, it is all over.Sooo-this-is-mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02001864616415319712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7496121.post-13500909067279650442008-09-19T08:34:00.000-04:002008-09-19T08:34:00.000-04:00Peter: Actually, we were giving out something bett...Peter: Actually, we were giving out something better... tons of raffle prizes (gift cards, DVD players, iPods, etc.)! Also, we had some major events at the hospital recently, and we videotaped employees during those events and set things up to play snippets of them on screens during Employee Appreciation Day (their "movie clips"). Really, just walking them in on a red carpet had huge grins on most faces! I'm heading back in shortly in my tux for more greeter duty!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11542750642334339031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7496121.post-21699128357826217672008-09-19T05:45:00.000-04:002008-09-19T05:45:00.000-04:00What a nice initiative, Employee Appreciation Day ...What a nice initiative, Employee Appreciation Day and the theme is great too.<BR/><BR/>But who's getting the oscars, or are they bed-pans?Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15725298504472346598noreply@blogger.com
