Good luck with the new job you applied for!!!

It is hard to believe it was 4 months ago! What a fun night that was though. I will truly never live that down.

Thank you
Donna is really stiff and sore, can hardly turn her head. Many bruises and a very sore back. She showed me pictures of the wreak and I am praising the Lord she is alive and able to basically walk away from it.
She is also having trouble keeping on track when talking, but after the bang on the head that is not surprising.
It was nice to visit with her.
I will be looking after her wee dog while someone drives her back up there to retrieve all her things from the truck, which is a write off. They are going on Friday and will be back on Saturday.
Thank you all for your prayers.

Thanks for the update. That is so great of you to help when in need.

my eldest informed me that I need an outing so she is going to take me somewhere, not saying where, just that I will love it and it will be sure to bring the spirit of Christmas back. So now she has me curious as to where we are going. We both have Saturday off so that is the day we are going...somewhere.

Very nice of your eldest to do that for you. You deserve it! I hope it lifts your spirits and makes you feel better. Still praying for you!

I hope you get well soon, Sugar!!!

You run into Santa on a cruise, you run into Santa at the mall … you're a real Santa magnet! It must have been a great experience chatting with him.

Christmas-A-Holic said:
My granddaughter and I just got back from the mall and met the REAL SANTA (a real white beard too)! He was not too busy since we know that the kids don't start really visiting him this early so we had a nice long conversation. He is not there for a job just to make extra money playing Santa, he is like all of us here at MMC who loves Christmas year round. He had a really sharp looking Santa suit that I wish I could have taken a picture of him with my camera but they are in the business to sell photos which I understand. I am waiting until I get the 3 grandchildren together before I pay to have it done. That is the first mall Santa I have met that is really good for the role! I felt we could have talked for hours and hours but after about nearly 20 minutes or so some kids showed up so we on. I invited him to MMC and I hope he will join us soon. He had some really wonderful stories to tell and I will wait for him to share them here with us. One of them will be about his Alaskan Cruise he plans to take to visit North Pole, Alaska.

We had a great day looking at all the decorations at the mall and of course, our visit with Santa!!!

I LOVE the nosy cat! Looks right at home with the Christmassy boxes!
