Looks like it has a long tail... Does that mean it's a boy turtle?

I am sorry so but no parcel today. But Unless Heather feels differently I would like everyone to open their gifts. I get just as much pleasure in seeing what everyone gets as I will when I get mine. Besides I can't wait to see if my gift to my receipent is a good one or not.
On the plus side I received beautiful cards from Todd and Noel.
Thank you so much. View attachment 259913

I agree!!!!

 

[Pastel Tortie]

I'll be happy to open mine, of course...

If Heather is OK with this, here are the times, worked out by amazing @JoesMum

Okay, someone remind me... Is Kathy on Mountain Time or Pacific Time? I'm on Eastern Time, and Bea is on Central Time. Heather, are you on Central Time as well?

Thought you guys might like to see a glimpse of some of the Tundra Swans that we saw yesterday at the refuge. The building in the background is the wonderful visitor center.

That’s very cool!

 

[JoesMum]

I shouldn’t be procrastinating in here, but I am. Having just told myself off, I’ll get back to my paperwork

And today's joke: Unfortunately only available in South Africa (and anywhere else where it is HOT at the moment.)

So cute. Like them too.

I am!!! But I’m not sure about Kathy...

Kathy is on Pacific time. We just "fell back" in the Fall. I think that means we're on regular time now for winter and won't be back on Daylight savings time until spring. So the time really is what the clock says it is, and right now my clock says it's 6:55a

I just remember it's always required more effort to schedule phone calls when States from coast to coast were involved. You can't schedule a national conference call before noon on the East Coast, and you can't schedule it after 1300 hrs (Pacific time) on the West Coast.

California (on Pacific time) is three hours behind the East Coast, including most of Florida. (The far western part of the Florida Panhandle is in the Central time zone.)

I’m on Pacific.

Cool new hat was yesterday’s big purchase at the gift shop. As usual, all kinds of birding and wildlife books, clothing, trinkets and more.

This year, Ive paddled in Cambridge and Oxford and driven through Salisbury a few times. Never once had to board a plane!

Is this today?? I can’t remember!

 

[Momof4]

This is so me!!!

 

[Kristoff]

This is today in one hour, right?

 

[Kristoff]

I’ll need all the strength to resist ripping that package open RIGHT NOW!!! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

 

[Yvonne G]

? I thought California would be 10a. If so, that's in three hours.

 

[Kristoff]

Yep. Which would be 7 pm for me and @Bee62. The initial calculations were a little off.

Is everyone ready to reconvene in 2.5 hours? [emoji4]
