Heidi
Yes Heidi !!! Remember Grandfather running all through the village trying to find her?? Her singing Silent Night? REAL tear jerker ladies! The guys probably won't be too interested but for us gals and the children...whoohoo! Ever noticed how it makes you feel SO good to have one of "those" really big BooHoo's!!! LOL All you can say afterword is, Damn, that was good!.....What??!!
Another golden nuggett of information about Disposers.....not disposals......What??.. That was the word...they are called disposers...and while I'm talking about things in the kitchen...(don't tell Hubby I told you but....) have you EVER squeezed dish soap into the soap holder of your dishwasher and when you turned the machine on, suds and bubbles came squirting out??? Come on ladies.....I won't tell....you know who you are....(You know...you've run out of those squares or packets or powder) Well, if that EVER happens again, go out to your washing machine cabinet, grab the Downey(or any brand) softener liquid OR sheets, and pour a full capful of it into your dishwasher. Close the door and wash away the suds!!! (If you use the sheets, stuff them into the silverware holder). The same holds true for the washing machine. Used too much detergent? Add softener... right to the water, just throw some in. Works every time.
Well, that's about it for today. Y'all have a great night and a better tomorrow!

It's A Wonderful Life
Here's another favorite from yesteryear. Takes about seven minutes to view so drag up a chair and grab a cuppa coffee or hot chocolate. Better yet, go get the movie, drag the kiddos in, and watch it. It's a tear jerker so bring the Kleenex...
You wouldn't believe how busy it has been here! The call-board is FULL of calls (good thing). Seems everything is either stopped up or there's broken water lines or water heaters are going on the blitz. Here's some information you've probably not thought of; it's called, Water Heater, not Hot Water Heater. Heaters heat the water, therefore you have, water-heaters. I use to call them the same thing years ago until Hubby laughed at me. You learn quick around here.
Well, y'all have a pleasant evening and a better tomorrow.

Scrooge
I'm going to try to find something else to go on my tree. Bows or something. Still not happy with it. I'm also running around the house, trying to remember where I hid all the presents I've already bought!!........Did I hear someone say Senior Moment??? Gads, it's not my turn yet is it? You know, I'll always remember Mother saying, "You just wait! It'll be your turn soon enough kiddo"! I always felt "safe" as long as I knew they were still alive. Now the reality of it is here...Now I find myself telling Crystal, "You just wait! It'll be your turn soon enough kiddo"!
I suppose, what I'm trying to say, badly, is, don't waste one minute of your life. Don't give one piece of it away to anger or depression, loneliness or guilt. We all have choices to make every minute of the day. We all experience sad or terrible things. I like that word, we. That one word says that we're all in this together. So join with me in believing that happiness isn't just another word. Even in our worst of moments, it's still there. Waiting.
So today, I'm sending you all lots of love and smiles along with peels of laughter. It is the best thing for, "what ails 'ya."

This Is Only A Test...
OK...This is just a TEST people....lol...I finally am learning how to put videos into a post. Please bare with me! I KNOW......Trunk Monkey isn't exactly Christmas material but, you DID need a laugh, now didn't you??!!!
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book, to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humour with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it.
Their faithful Friend and Servant,C. D.December, 1843.
A wonderful story. I've read the book more times than I can count. The earlier movies, 1938 version starring Reginald Owen is probably my favorite. Sounds like another movie marathon is in the wings.
Hope you all survived Thanksgiving! It was pretty busy around here. We got all the visits in and all the food eaten. Now I'm just trying to get re-organized as far as what to do or buy next. I'll get the Christmas bird in the next couple of weeks, but the dry stuff, I'll get this week. I'm NOT going to wait till the last minute again. That was a shopping nightmare.
Well, y'all have a wonderful day and I'll see you again tomorrow.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Hubby got up early this morning to get the turkey cooking. This is the one we're taking to his parents house for lunch today. A cold front blew in yesterday dropping the temp from the 80's to the 50's. If the wind would die down, it would be nice outside. Here's hoping all of you have a happy and very "thankful" day!

Whatever You Think...
Every one of these people really have a problem...Can't read 'em? Click on the picture and it will enlarge for you.
Well, guess I'll be going (in the morning) to the bookstore to meet the girls for our ritual of Mocha coffees, books, and lots of laughs. I really look forward to our get togethers. After that, it's off to the grocery store. That's not so fun.
So, I guess I'll sign off for a while. Usually if I post this early, I almost always think of something else by sundown. Until then, have a fun day!
3:13pm - Have to go to a visitation at a funeral home (no one in our bunch) tonight. I'll try to check back in when we get home. Sami will be having company, so guess I'll get some quiet time on the computer! lol Later...

When Did This Happen?
Johnny Rivers turned 65 today... Good grief. How in the world did that happen? Thought I was looking, but apparently, not close enough. Those years have just flown by! I remember convertibles, football games, letter jackets and ten pound class rings. I never was found on "lovers lane" but I heard that a few people were...found that is...sorry, I can't name names. ANYway, he's a great listen, if you're so inclined. Happy birthday big guy...it was once in a lifetime. Night all!

Getting it Done?
Well, I'm slowly getting it done. Present by present. And I'm getting them wrapped! They'll go into storage until Thanksgiving is over and the tree goes up. I've even started working on the Christmas cards. I can't believe I, so many times, leave this till the last minute! Bad girl! This way, I'll have a chance to enjoy the holidays along with everyone else.
You would never know it was November though. 85degrees here today. At least I can get more done, shopping wise, when the weather is good, so I'll stop griping about it.
Didn't really do very much this last weekend. Hubby didn't put in any more windows because we thought it would rain...it didn't. Guess I'll get busy and get a little more work done. Y'all have a great evening and a better tomorrow.
More useless info: Virginia O'Hanlon Douglas was the eight-year-old girl who, in 1897, asked the staff of The New York Sun whether Santa Claus existed. In the now famous editorial, Francis Church assured Virginia that yes, indeed, "there is a Santa Claus."
