I did it more for health reasons. I use all natural ingredients and was shocked to see some positive changes on my skin! I use it on my face, hands, etc. Nothing wrong with BBW but love making my own.

I'm glad it's helped you! :)
 
Wonder if the blasting the next block over has anything to do with the on again off again cable service I'm getting and not getting tonight - UGGH!
I keep thinking my d-link is acting up again, but my husband checked with a neighbor yesterday and she's having trouble too. There was a truck doing work here last Friday, but they didn't seem to fix anything. I've been trying to play "catch up", but decided to travel to a few threads to see what's happening before the internet connection goes kerplunk again.

First day back to work was a bit long. I helped out at a golf tournament for charity for the morning so it was an easy way to slip back into work mode by the afternoon. I got all worried about a raven that was hopping around and couldn't fly. He had a grape in his beak and was heading over to some tall grass by the brush. Wonder if a golf ball hit him? I'm guessing I'm not supposed to feed birds people food, but he was trying so hard to stash some goodies. I watched as he dug up grass, I think he was using the dibbits to cover some grapes so I thought, hey why not give him some rainbow fish crackers. So I did. Now I'm wondering if he's going to make it through the night. Not sure how badly he was hurt, seemed like he had some brown goo on his right wing, but maybe it was a bald spot if he lost some feathers in a battle. Not much I could do; that's how nature works sometimes. If he was living near the creek by my place, I probably would have helped him make a nest or introduce him to the skunk so they could share some earthworms and bugs together.

What does that have to do with Christmas? A friend who was attending the same hole in one that I was stationed at told me there was a story called Embers of the Raven - A Christmas Story - so naturally my thoughts turned to my merry chums once again. Stay Jolly!

It always comes full circle for us Christmas lovers, doesn't it?

Keeping the sweet Raven in my prayers, hoping that he stays safe.

Glad that your first day back wasn't too bad, although it was a bit long.

Hope that your Internet connection improves, AMD.

Have a merry night!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

The Low Country Boil at Nancy's parents' was great! Bernie thought he had some crab legs to go along with the shrimp, sausage, corn & potatoes, but someone at the store must have sold them. Instead, we added a bag of crawfish. Not bad!

Nancy has taken her mom to Atlanta this morning to meet with a doctor who thinks he can help her with her diabetes-diminished eyesight. I hope he can help!

With Nancy out of town, I have to take the kids to their Dance & guitar lessons. I don't like it when we're all separated like that, but whatcha gonna do?

I hope y'all have a great day!:D

Sending up prayers for Nancy's mom, I hope the doctor can help!

I'm still trying to get caught up, but work is getting in the way! :rolleyes: I'll get there!

Just wanted to show you all Gracie's new boyfriend at the lake. He just moved in 2 weekends ago, right next door to us....and he is very protective of Gracie! No other dogs can play with her when he's around - he will chase them off! :mad:

Thank you, HmG~
Good evening!
She seems okay, not in as much discomfort but still not too peppy. Thank you for the prayers!
