Hello all :wiggy:

 

[mammaduke]

Going to start cooking on wednesday morning for Thanksgiving dinner. Friday will be the day to get all the decorations up inside & out. Then friday night will put up the tree & get it all decorated. Have a little shopping started by have to wait to really get to it. All ready know what I have to get for everyone, can't wait until I can finally get to it.
My youngest daughter will be out of town with her boyfriend's family for Christmas , so will have to celebrate with them the week-end after. That's really a downer for me, my girls have always been with me for Christmas. Oh Well you have to do what you can to make it fair to everyone.:notice:

:-x Happy Monday y'all! I'm sure I'll make it back this way before Turkey dinner or lean cuisine - whatever you're planning.

Busy week ahead though. Aren't they all getting a tad busier as we get closer to "the big day"?

Still no snow, but it's cold and then damp and then cold with a trickle of rain - almost flurries, but not quite.
Last week the Trumpeter Swan's were still at the Bay about a half hour drive from here. I didn't get out there for pictures though, saw them on TV.

This Friday is our downtown Christmas walk, can't wait. The weather looks good for it. Yesterday, I missed the local Santa Claus Parade because they changed the route and didn't tell me. The last few year's I've been able to see it from the kitchen window, but not this year. I know I should have just gone out and joined the crowd a few blocks away, but our parades aren't much to brag about so I opted out of it.
Sunday is shopping day and the timing has to be perfect so I can see the children returning from the Santa Claus Express.

:!! Crown - I had my camera with my last weekend, but I thought I better ask permission before I snap shots around the mall - there are more and more rules about where you can and cannot take pictures so I'll check it out first.

~Hello Friends!

A ditty I wrote circa 2:00 A.M. while sipping my Alka-Seltzer....

~As for yesterday...
it will suffice to say,
a typical Monday...
in every way.

Don't ask, won't tell
my policy...Just glad
we call this day,
Tuesday.

It's me in the back, and next to me is Ian Petrella, Yano Anaya and Scott Schwartz. It was at an autograph convention in New Jersey last year, they are three of the kids from A Christmas Story!

I bought a signed poster...for a hundred bucks...gulp...

 

[JayIsh]

You know if we keep up this pace, about 15-18 posts a day on this thread, we will reach 2000 by Christmas Day!!! I was wondering if we'd reach 1000 by then!!!

Way to go guys!

Jay
