Hello! What is this? A message on my crystal ball I did not ask for. It says Fred Hose will come to Spokane Washington in search of dance partners wearing thongs, (although Fred, a true gentleman will only look between the neckline and the feet), and he will help Wilma lift something that weighs more than 35 pounds, but in doing so will rub noses with her from lessons learned rubbing noses with llamas. Wait! There's more! Ah, it clouded over so I can't tell you what it said. Sorry.
I know there are still more Gather friends with New Year's resolutions the crystal ball will tell me about. I guess I'll have to write a part 4 because there are at least 17 more resolutions that need to be posted.

I'm so excited to hear Fred is coming to Spokane! Had to chuckle at the lead in to that paragraph!
He might be a bit dismayed by the cold weather here. He may also be disappointed when he finds out I am NOT going to be wearing a thong but will have on a LOT more clothes!!
Wonder what it is that we will be lifting??
Can you look in the crystal ball and get an idea of his arrival date? There's a lot to be done before he gets here.
I think it says in that Crystal Ball you are............................HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I HOPE THIS IS THE BEST YEAR EVER FOR ALL OF US.

Wow Bill what a marvellous thing you picked up at the pawnshop.
Something between the neckline and the feet??? Gee my mother never told me about that.
Don't worry Wilma. I'm the artistic type. Ultra neatness cramps my thought processes.
A home should look lived in.
PS I've been to Oregon and I loved it.
great wish list ...your crystal ball is a dangerous thing ..thank god I am out of its scope..:-)
