It was a great day at Giovannis.

I won't go into naming names but this is the OBDTF gang gathered to celebrate Christmas.

Santa came in all his glory.

Very nice to see all of you today, esp those who got there "come Hell or high water"! Our Santa was a little on the skinny side, beardless, and dark haired, [obviously a different Santa from the one pictured above], but boy did he arrive with a huge bag [er, box] of goodies for all of us!
It's perfectly obvious we attendees must have been very good indeed! Thanks FocusedSanta. Also very nice to see Mrs. Focused in attendance fully recovered from her surgical ordeal - VERY thankful for that!
ITMum couldn't make it, but sent in an absence excuse note. Seems she was home cooking for an extra-large appetite due home tomorrow!!!
As for "signs" - the one that caught my eye outside Giovannis was the announcing the "Lions" Club meetings. Can't we get that changed to "Tigers", oh my! [Or maybe combine the two signs - GEEZER TIGERS?]
All OBDTF'ers [esp cameraguy] - note the topic on this Chat forum titled "[ Poll ] I think it would be a good idea if..".
Good lunch, good company, good conversation; what more could anyone want?
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

thanks focused claus, for the great gifts. my shoppings done now. thanks cag for your gifts also, and those delicious buckeyes that spanky hogged all of. and all the wonderful cards. man, i didn't realize a camera put on 49 lbs. gotta fix that after christmas. biggdowggie was looking trim , and svelte. he must have a new love interest. the picture sparked much controversy. ----------- tigertownturkey fainted. and was given cpr. by riverratray. i am not in possession of the picture at this point, but pretty sure it will reproduced. so i can't show it yet. you simply must get sick on these meeting days. very much missed mum, kantucky, and any of the other regulars i'm forgetting. esp. wanted to see kantucky. :-D

.

did everybody get home safely, i almost did not make it off park avenue alive myself. to massive guys in a gray 91 ford ranger , with a black ladder rack, ran me nearly to my death. they were in the left lane, as if they were going to mcdonalds, they already looked full. but then outa the clear blue sky. in front of god and everybody. they put on their left blinker, then they went across 7 lanes of traffic , to the right, and nearly took the bumper of'n ole blue. i honked long and hard as they headed toward scotty county. one of them signaled to me that i was number 1 , i think. :shock:

i don't see real clearly. avoid this truck, at all costs. :shock:

i was so tored up, i hadda pull over.

We all had a great time and I too want to thank everyone for all of the nice gifts and cards. Mr and Mrs Focused got me something I have always wanted and I can't thank them enough. Dukies1 made the best buckeyes and I was fortunate that Spanky sat at my table. caglewis gave all of us the nicest ornaments inside a card. Dowgg, Ozzie, Pappy Bait, YTB, TTT, TigerMan(the next Sheriff of Lawrence County), Mr Mum, Butcherman, CameraGuy, WeisGuy, gahs4ever I was glad to see all of you. I sure missed Mum, Kentucky and Zap not to mention all the other regulars who usually attend. To all of you, have a very Merry Christmas!

I would just like to say I had a great time and I'm glad I got to see everyone that I don't get to see enough. Thanks so much for the Ornaments and the card Cag and you would've gotten a big ol' hug from me as well If I would've opened my card up there. Thanks for the Card,Gifts,and Candy Mr. and Mrs.Focused and to biggdowgg for the nice card. I hope everyone got a Buckeye I should've had more and I apologize. It was good to see Bait and his dad and Dad said to tell you hi!! Oh and I told him about the comment about not being able to have a pretty girl and he said It must've been because of my mom then..Ha!Ha! I can't wait to see everyone again and Thanks to Ray and Spank for letting me sit at the table with them

Oh I almost forgot to thank Turke for the pen he gave me!! Thanks I really did appreciate it :-D

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas :-D

Mrs. Focused and I enjoyed the OBDTF's luncheon very much... A good "Christmas spirit" prevailed. It is always good to "break bread" with such a great group of people...... and, to just listen..... You can learn so much as you listen to them!

Man I miss all the fun I wish I could drop in sometime and visit all of you I am trying to figure out who is who I know who a couple are but I am puzzled on the rest...

ah heck I'll surprise you someday...
