Good morning MMC!!
Today is my dad's birthday. I normally make him an apple pie, but since I took over several containers of assorted cookies, date bars, rugelach, pecan pie tarts, and slices of sweet potato pie, he'll probably tell me to hold off LOL. They freeze everything and keep it all year. By the time they run out of the stuff I left them, it'll be Christmas 2014.
Working on some wood carvings, glass engravings and some blog posts today.
Hope all of you have a wonderful peaceful day and are still enjoying your holidays!
Snowflake, hope you're feeling better today!

Good Morning MMC!!!!!! It's going to be a beautiful day here with a high in the mid 50's. So I'm taking advantage of the nice weather to get out there and look for some after Christmas deals. I've already been to Meijer and Walmart and now I'm just making a pit stop to drop off the groceries before heading to Target, Kmart, and Kohl's. I haven't had a lot of luck finding anything that just screams buy me so far so hopefully that will change. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!

Xmas- I tried to talk every member of my family into buying me that Santa and no one would!!!! I may have to go see if any of the stores around here still have it.
Thank you, HmG!!

Okay I just had to post one more thing because this is too funny!
Where we live we have two families of really large sand cranes on our property. They are on the endangered species list and protected by Florida laws. They stand about 4.5 to 6 feet tall depending on gender and age. Several of them were standing in the middle of the road in front of our house. I'm outside on my back porch reading here and posting, but can clearly see them.
I just watched a van pull up to them, put on his brakes and come to a complete stop. They are not skiddish at all and generally move when they're good and ready. He sits there honking his horn repeatedly trying to get them to move. Two of them amble slowly off to the side of the road. The driver gets out of the van and yells at the top of his lungs at the other two. "GO ON!! GET OUTTA HERE!!"
These cranes mate for life and have been here for years now. My MIL named this particular couple Elvis and Priscilla. LOL Elvis is very tall and his size can be intimidating if you're not used to them. This driver is making broad gestures trying to get them to move. I yelled out, "Hey!! I wouldn't do that if I were you! Just go around them!!"
Keep in mind... these are large birds. Think Ostrich mentality. Far more cognitive than your average bird. That "fight or flight," instinct is more just "fight or... yeah let's just go with fight again."
The guy completely dismissed me and just keeps yelling and waving his arms. Stepped one step too close to Priscilla and Elvis' massive wings spread wide. He has about an 8 to 9 foot wingspan. Then that huge beak opened up, he lunged and his bellowing cackle-cry echoed off the houses and canal. You can hear those things with the TV on loud and all windows closed. If you're outside near them it makes you want to cover your ears and the vibration hits that decibal that causes nausea.
Elvis flapped one time, went airborn vertically up, hovered and came back down, looming over the man and standing in front of him wings spread. The driver covered his head with both arms, ducked, peered out from between his arms and they were just staring at each other, face to face.
One last roar from the crane and the man just paused for a nano second, screamed like a little girl and ran for his vehicle. He threw it in reverse and backed up down the road!!! LMBO ROFL That was great!!! AAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
