Groundhogs Party To-nite

YES, it's been awhile since I blogged!

Preparations are under way for the annual Rathbun groundhog party.  Dating back to 1997, the party has become a favorite of the old Amway gang I started working with years ago.  Every year new guest are invited and the number of Phil - o- philes has grown to 30 plus!   

This day means one thing - clean the house!  It's a great way to get the house clean - once a year seems to be just about right.   with 4 hours to go, we are doing pretty good, just have to mop the floor, carry the Blatz in from the garage, construct a marshmallow and cheerios groundhog and finally broil up some GH shaped Spam slices (Mmmmmm!!!).  

If you're in the neighborhood, stop on by!  It's the party that won't go away!

Watch-out for your shadow cats!

 

Merry Christmas!!! Hope everyone is enjoying the day. Love you guys and miss you all (or should I say y'all) xoxoxo

Itś just me clowning around in the First Federal Holiday parade. I was a chef for the gingerbread house. The costume was made by someone at work. It was fun passing out gingerbread cookies and dancing in the streets of Alpena.

When out on the lawn I heard such a clatter...I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter! Why Santa decided to do some checking up in the Floer household. I couldn't believe it!

Today at Brush Creek Mill we had a commemrorative tree lighting with bulbs of red, white and blue. The bulbs could be purchased for $5.00 each. White bulbs signify a lost loved one, red was for anyone serving in the military, and blue signifies someone you want to show appreciation for. During the ceremony, the names of each person honored was read out loud. So Betty Rathbun, Walt Rathbun, Bill Floer and Jean Floer all were honored today. The afternoon began with the Huron Shores Barbershop chorus giving a half hour Christmas concert. Then the names were read, then everyone sang Christmas carrols. After, there was free refreshments. The tree was lit outside after the names were read. It will stay lit all throughout the holiday. So Mom and Dad have a white bulb on the tree. Pretty cool, eh? It brought a tear tp my eye...especially when they pronounced their names correct. There were 90 people honored.
