Friendship is a priceless gift that can't be bought or sold, its value is far greater than a mountain made of gold.
May this FriendSHIP always have wind in its sails and a sunrise on the horizon.

Hey, All!!  Excited for tomorrow night!  Luv....amazing job on your game chart!  What a nice thing to honor Niecey in this way!  I'm not going to play, as I can't always make it to the board.  If I were playing, however, I would agree with Tango!! xoxoxoxo

I will put in my 2 cents worth this time, since I'll be going to a show.   Highest score on Monday, Val & Victoria.  Peta out first, Maks 2nd, and I think Val will win it all.
 

You might be onto something there, Tango.  The contestants with impairments have done extraordinarily well.  Much better than could be expected.  Amy Purdy, Noah Galloway, Nyle DiMarco....  But then again,  there was also Gary Busey ...   *lol* .   Come to think of it....  Does Anna Trebunskaya have her baby yet?  Have I missed it?

I'm glad you asked....I had forgotten about that pregnancy.

And over LABOR DAY, yet!

She says they have been engaged since January 2016 when he surprised her at a waterfall setting...guess the wedding may happen now that baby # 2 has been born.  LOL

I don't know if any of you have gone looking for information about Victoria, but her story is absolutely amazing.    

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8QVcD0qOAk

This interview tells about her story, which is everyone's worst nightmare.   Her recovery to be in the Para-Olympics in London was miraculous, but to regain the ability to walk, something which I think she said just happened in March 2016, is equally astounding.

This ESPN interview with her and Val is really cute.   She is articulate, absolutely adorable, and wants to do it for the costumes!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkLtC6sREzk

So she has Val who, I know, will be inspired to do his best work to show her off.    

She is an athlete who is used to being coached and training.   She has already gone from not being able to move more than blinking to talking, swimming, walking, so I don't think dancing will be a problem.

Sorry, I had to use this.  I haven't laughed so much in a long time.

Bon soir from France, Sisters!

Well, WE MADE IT to our destination in the middle of fRance this afternoon via rail. Spent the night in Paris after the 11 hour flight from LAX Friday nite aboard an Air France A-380 SUPER jumbo airplane! We were in Lower Slobovia, as my mother would say (!), but the flight was good, the airplane HUMONGOUS, but very quiet (we happened to be seated forward of the engines).

We arrived in Paris about 11AM yesterday, spent about 2 hours navigating the MAZE at Charles DeGalle Airport just to get to baggage claim (after immigration and all that stuff). I swear, it took about 30 mi utes just to get the 800 or s passengers off the aircraft!! However, the in-flight service was friendly and efficient, the meals weren't bad, and....well.....I think I slept for about 1 hour total!!! LOL. We had a lovely seat mate, however, from a town near ours who was on a business trip. So wehad a great conversation with her that really made the trip lovely.

The rest of the afternoon was consumed with figuring out how to get from the airport via Metro to our hotel location in the Chinese section of the city!!! LOL. That hotel was suggested by the travel agent because it was close to the train station we needed today. Jet lag started to cath up with me about 5 PM when I was REALLY hungry--and we were sitting in a pub waiting for 7PM so the restaurant would open for dinner!!! The only other options nearby seemed to be KFC, McDonald's, and Subway! The local restaurants weren't that appealing....no sit down places. The irony of this experience was that we didn't see more than half a dozen Chinese people in the Chinese district!!!!

I hope all of you are well and looking forward to the premiere tomorrow night. If I am awake at 2AM tomorrow nite/Tues. a.m., I'll try to check in on the board. Chances are probably quite slim, but don't count me out just yet!!

Jet, Glad you got there safely...Have a great time and can't wait to hear more about your experiences...

Re: Summer, the Season between the Seasons

Evening to you all...Well tomorrow night is the night and I must say I am a bit excited for the new season...It looks to be a good one and hopefully drama free.

View do you want to start a new thread for us in the morning?  I meant to ask you a day or so ago but with so much going on I totally forgot.
