No Restraint
I bought lots of candies today (mostly variations containing chocolate) and cookies covered in sugar crystals, and then put them all in my biggest and prettiest crystal containers. I did this for two reasons--first because it makes a pretty Christmas decoration, and second to offer to guests that...

Shine On Christmas Star
It is too bad that at this time when all things should be beautifully decorated and all people be gloriously happy, and music in the air everywhere, with wonderful goodies to share with people who come to tea, and the house have the aroma of cinnamon and spice or fresh evergreen tree, that little...

Starting Early
Very shortly I'm off to a Christmas Luncheon with loved ones who do not have to go off to work every day and can celebrate when and if they will. It is very cold, but the sun is shining and the clothing is warm. On my head is a crocheted hat made by one of my favorite ladies. Not only is it colorful...

Life With Ribcage
Laughter is what I remember when he was little and has continued since his birth at the Christmas Season of 1960. He has always made everyone laugh with his wit and dry sense of humor.

It Does Make One Wonder
Ribcage: "Did you know it is only three weeks until 2018?" TAPS: "Yeah, I've been thinking about it and wondering if I should make any changes in the way I've been living. Have you any resolutions for the new year?" Ribcage: "Actually I do, but only in my head. I'm not telling a living soul!" TAPS:...

Eccentric
At the corner where two roads meet across the way within our forested complex, I do believe an insane person lives. He stays to himself, but in a way he shares his life with others here. He has glass patio doors facing both directions with no drapes or blinds and his rooms lit up. He has two...

Last Year's Christmas Present
Two days have gone by since I posted in this place. Time just keeps rolling along and doing what it does no matter what we wish it would. The sun comes up in the morning (later every day) and goes down every day earlier and earlier. It will do that until sometime in the 24 hours between the 21st and...

Clutter-Man
Yesterday being the first day of December, I got in my December mode which is dressing the house in Christmassy attire. I got out my favorite red tablecloth with the gold threads running through it in a plaid formation with some black threads here and there, and a really nice fringe all the way...

Savoy
President George W. Bush sat across the table from me today at the Corner Cafe in Riverside. All he ordered was one of their famous buttermilk biscuits, no gravy, just the biscuit, and then he only took two bites. I could see him plain as day, and his entourage, even though his time and mine were...
