So sad, especially this time of year. Already he was able to continue living and bringing joy to others via his donation.

I try not to think of all the babies and young children that have tragically died in my lifetime because it's so sad. Too sad to think about since I just lost someone in my family who was just starting out on his life.

Wow! Kathy. You still have pics like that? I wish I still had my memories of my childhood Christmases.

Oh, yes, Good morning everyone :)


This pic showed up on my FB.
I do have a few somewhere with tinsel on the tree.

Did any of you have those tree lights that made bubbles in the bulb? My grandma did.

You know, I do not recall any of us getting bikes at Christmas .

Hi Gillian.

My older sister (Jackie) and I both received bikes like that one Christmas. Hers was a red boy's bike and mine was a blue girl's bike.

Hi all! Hope you all have busy and prosperous days. It was mighty cold here last night, with wind machines making noise from all sides of me. It escapes me how this works, because "they" are always saying how much colder it is with the wind chill factor. So why does the orange farmer make wind when the temp is going to be below freezing?

I guess I need to up my vitamin b pills. I've just been so lazy these past few weeks. There's so much that needs to be done, and no one living here does it.

My daughter had an interesting phone call from her son, James. James is the one with the two boys, Cody and Cyrus. Well, it seems James has told his mom that they are going to be coming over bright and early Christmas morning (they may even come over the day before and stay the night) because he wants the kids to experience Christmas morning like James used to when he was a kid. That's sort of heart-warming, huh? I hope it isn't a let down for them.

Folks don't use tinsel anymore?

Wastin' time
