Pictures of the Christmas village. Not complete But Getting Closer!

Chris and Jessica were going to come over today after one of the brother’s birthday celebration but they got to the party late. Jessica called and said they were on their way but it would be a tight squeeze because the football team was playing in an hour. I know what a perfectionist is Chris after...

Update On My Project!

My son-in-law and daughter came over today. Chris worked on the holes and the rectangle openings. I had forgot he is a perfectionist. He needed some clarification on my marks. I was impressed with his efforts and tucked my fingers in newly cut holes. Of course I got slivers before I was shooed away.... Sign in to see full entry.

November 1 Is Going To Be A Fun Day for Me!

My son-in-law and daughter are coming over tomorrow to work on the layout of my Christmas village. My son-in-law, A.K.A. Chris is going to cut the holes for the cords to the houses. I have them measured so it will make it easier for him. The next step will be to round the corners for safety. Then... Sign in to see full entry.

My Cardiologist Told Me Not To Do The One Thing I did This Morning!

I make a 10 fruit and Greek yogurt smoothie Monday through Friday for my daughter, son-in-law and myself. It’s very tasty. The ingredients for two smoothies are: 1 fuji apple, 1 naval orange, 1 kiwi (peeled if you are averse to the rough outer part), 1 banana. I use frozen fruit to thicken it: ¼ cup...

I Think Saturday is the Beginning of the Christmas Season! LOL!

I am usually done with my Christmas shopping by the middle of November each year. This year I have to wait to finish until December! Drat! There is a good reason for it. I have an Amazon store card. I charge the bulk of my gifts on this card and then sign up for 12 months of interest free payments.... Sign in to see full entry.

What A Game Three In The World Series!

Last night the game went 18 innings before the Dodgers walked it off. I’m rooting for the Blue Jays mainly because we had a great time with Blue Jay fans a couple of years ago when the Tigers no hit them in Detroit. My son-in-law and I were texting during game commenting on various things. I fell... Sign in to see full entry.

I Think It’s Time Y’all Met My Co-workers!

Jessica has Penny and I pouting! She rearranged her coat room. It had a cube bookshelf in it and I had one of the cubbies to keep the things I needed to do my bookkeeping. Penny had a cat bed above my cubby. I can handle change but I’m not fond of it. Penny spent most of the day under my chair as we... Sign in to see full entry.

Questions Have Been Asked, Hopefully They Are Now Answered!

A blogger left a comment and posed a few questions and I will take this time to answer. First I am not Native American. My daughter does a lot with Ancestry to get the family tree organized. She tells me I have Northeast England, Northern Wales, North East Scotland and Munster, Ireland. I think I’m... Sign in to see full entry.

I Think I Have Been Programmed, Against My Will!

This morning I awoke with great energy and drive. Peculiar to me since it was a Saturday and I like to lounge in bed on the weekend for half an hour or so after awaking. Not today! I got out of bed against my will, lol! Since I am susceptible to pneumonia I brush my teeth first thing. I do... Sign in to see full entry.

Today I Met A Family Member For The First Time!

My niece came for a haircut, style and brow wax at Jessica’s salon. And she brought her newborn baby! Skyler Nicholas was born on October 3 rd. For the most part he was very healthy but he had some fluid in his lungs so he spent a couple of days in the NICU. When I was holding him today he had his... Sign in to see full entry.
