Christmas Countdown - 2013

Great attitude, CAH!

I get to go clean the kitchen. Ugh! That is just not fun saying that. Okay, at least I have a kitchen to clean in a nice warm house!!! Also shows that I got to eat today is why the kitchen needs cleaning!!! Doesn't sound so bad after all, off I go to clean the kitchen!!!




Harlowe is beautiful, Snowflake!!!

Gabulldawg, get well!!!!!

Hey Made, let us know when dinner is ready! =)

You are right: That is sweet!

My 3 year old granddaughter just said something nice about all of you.

I was trying to rearrange some boxes of Christmas items in my closet. One of my small boxes fell to the floor. It was full of Christmas cards that I got from some of you during one of our Christmas card exchange a few years ago. The cards scattered all over the floor and my granddaughter said, "What is that"? I said, "They are Christmas cards from my Christmas friends". She looked real surprised and said, "Ohhhh, I like your Christmas friends"!!! I said, "I do too"!!! She is always so darn sweet! cheesy

Oooo. I like this color!

Yes and I bought Steel Blue one for my parents for Christmas. I think it's a QVC exclusive color?

This is picture of the cinnamon. QVC does not have the Platinum Plus (6 buttons on the front) one available all the time because after we bought ours I wanted to buy my parents one and had to wait until they carried again. I also cannot find the Platinum Plus in any stores either! I wonder why! I guess they have them where you sell it but I can't find it here.

I love this machine!

If you have any animals, just think about what you would do to train them! And how you show them you love them.

I forgot to add that it was funny when Trixie turns the cello around and then turns herself around and asks if they are similar!!!

I thought Trixie's "bag o' tricks" might amuse you!

You certainly have the right touch with those students. I'd be at a total loss while they ran riot around me!

 

[Seawaters]

I was thinking the same thing!!!

Time to pick out a name!

Good evening, Christmas family

Well, my tree is "asleep." We took it down yesterday. But I am not all that sad. My sister has been giving me "pep" talks as well as all of you - I think maybe they are finally taking root.

My sister is supposed to visit this Saturday. I hope so. We haven't seen each other since Christmas Eve. It would be wonderful to be with her again.

I am kind of excited. I found one of our local high schools has a community education program where you can enroll in various classes for a four to six week period. They have a couple of writing classes and I am going to enroll in one !! I am not sure anything can really help my writing but I think it will be interesting. I was hoping though that I would be able to go to the school for the classes but they are online.

Enjoy your visit with your sister!
I have taken a few courses too and always enjoyable. You will do good with the writing course.

I'm laughing out loud again. But you are right: Keurig is art!!!

Looking at the Keurigs is like looking at art.. ohhh my...,

come on July.. I need a Valerie fix....

YABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Glad to be home from school. I had my Social Security phone interview today. It appears that I will get $617 the first month. Then my check will be offset by the "windfall" calculation. Yeah, right, my retirement is a windfall!!! Then I will receive $270 a month out of which they will deduct the $104 premium for Part B of Medicare. They will deduct more when I add Part F. So, at least the medical insurance will be paid for!

Can I just say that I hate comcast and I'm probably going to regret it but I just called and moved my phone service to them. They'll be out next tuesday to install it. It'll save me $70 a month so hopefully it works okay.

Good Evening everyone! we have a new member to our family. We have decided to become foster parents to the local animal shelter..we just got a beautiful Burmese Mountain dog. Now this dog has to be on leash at all times even in the house. Our local dog pound does not put the animals to sleep as long as ppl will be foster parents until someone will adopt the animals.. we saw this dog and could not stand it being in a shelter..We have taken pictures of it outside playing and put it online and posted pics in the town to see if someone wants it..meanwhile snowball has someone to play with now and she is so sweet I think me and brandi could become attached and that will be okay too. I would not mind having another little furbaby!! So that is how my Monday has been..it's been a really good day... I hope everyone is doing good this mid January day.. We have a 3 day weekend coming up everyone! that is something to look forward to.

We are calling her Kylee.. she was found wondering in the rain on Interstate 75 on Christmas Eve. The Vet has said he guesses she is about 3 to 4 years old. I had 2 dogs and at one time I had 3. After my pookie died last year I swore I would never get another dog. But times have changed and I'm ready to love again so to speak. To tell you the truth I am already getting attached to her..Will keep yall posted on what happens.

I did a search of Bernese mountain dogs and you are right. They are gorgeous!

That's a pretty name! She is lucky to have found you guys, and vice versa
Please give her a hug for us, and take good care of each other.
