Hi all, sorry its been a while, but I haven't forgotten any of you. I think about you and what I'm missing here not getting to read all the posts. I've been down since Black friday, I went shopping came home and went to bed and just got up. Long nap huh. lol Naw seriously I have broncitis and a bad case of it. They put me on super antiobiotics, steroids, vicodin, and albuterol. This is first day for me to get up and try to do anything. Boy am I weak. Think my coffee kept me going, had either french vanilla or peppermint mocha creamer for protein, lol.
Auntie, oh how jealous I am about Burl and wife being friends of yours. What I would have given to have known them. He was one of my all time favorites, along with John Wayne. I think I have all his Christmas tunes, some of his movies and a bunch of his reg tunes also. One of my very favorite is Pearly Shells.
I hope everyone is ready for Christmas, boy do I have a lot of making up to do. Have some decorating to do (inside and out) , about a quarter of my gift buying to do, grocery shopping also. Our truck light parade party is this saturday and I have to get things ready for that also. So much to do and so little time. but I do good under stress. hee hee

Yes, get well soon, Renn. This no time of the year to feel sick!
SEASON DAY 21. (Gee! Three weeks into the Season!)
Days to Christmas Day: 22.
Good Morning.
A wet one last night and still damp this morning, although not cold (yet).
All those nasty little willow oak leaves are pasted all over my car. You would think driving at 45-50 would blow them off but no, about 75% stayed on all the way to work.
Oh well, we need the moisture.
(Yes, Binger, a hammock slung between the shispering fraser firs is a great way to sleep - as long as a coffee percolator nearby doesn't keep me awake)
Great photo, Cedar.
Cedar: Our calendar photo lady!
(Aren't we lucky - we have a playwright and master photographer in our midst!)
Have a Marvelous Monday, my Christmas friends!

~Brrrrrr!! Wind is blowing freezing rain pellets against the window next to the computer...brrrrr...more hot coffee please. Gulp. Ahhhh.
Renn! So good to hear from you my friend. Sorry you caught the nasty bug..our postmistress told me recently: "Everyone is sick!", so don't feel left out! Take it easy...drink lots of liquids..listen to Burl Ives...stare at the tree.
Oh my Crownster, thank you for the kudos...but I didn't take that photograph of the Fraser firs...wish I had, would have loved to have been there. I found that pic on the internet...googled "Fraser Firs" went to Images. That photo really got to me.

Good to see Renna and DevOn around - and all y'all bunch of Christmas chums a.k.a. wackos.
It's been cold and miserable lately. I'm sure those without snow would love it. School buses were cancelled, but the schools were open today. Windgusts up to 46 at one point - you'd think this city never saw snow before. The sidewalks and side roads weren't plowed over night and up until noon some people were having a difficult time getting to work.
Funny thing is now that Wal-Mart is open 24/7 until Dec. 24th, I could hear the snow plow clearing the parking lot throughout the night.

:whisper: Oh yeah, I have a new irk I want to share. Seems like a few folks at work are upset about all this Happy Holidays vs. Merry Christmas stuff.
:???: I just wanted to shake them and say "where have you been? This battle has been going on for years.
Well, I didn't shake anyone - I shook my head instead.
Had to go over to the mall with a gal from work to pick up gift wrap, etc. (we battled over Scotch tape vs. invisible) ... heard a little boy singing Jingle Bells, he was sooo cute ... anyway... we're getting set for our Christmas party for work, the Winter Wonderland theme is going to be accompanied by the lowest temps of the week and minimal chances of snow. Not to worry though, the snowbanks in some places are higher than the roof of many vehicles and some higher than a school bus. Oh yeah, winter is here.
Now if it will just get mild so I can build a snow sculpture, I'll be much happier.

I hope you are not catching something, Sila.
SEASON DAY 22.
Days to Christmas Day: 21 (Three weeks from today, guys!)
Auntie, I suspect that Wal-Mart had their own privately-hired snow removal service. They can certainly afford it!
And I am optimistic about the "war on Christmas". Have heard much less about it this year. Either the news media got all the copy they could out of the "controversy" (that they helped to manufacture) or the whole thing was never really an issue to begin with. I see the word "Christmas" much more in stores and merchandise this year with no mention of any complaints from anyone.
Binger, my coffee beenie friend!
Don't mention leaves and cars! It took me quite some time to pluck them all off. Kept me awake just thinking about it. Grrrrr!
Lots of wind last night kept the frost away. Upper 30's for the commute this morning. It's supposed to reach the low 50's by this afternoon.
Have a Terrific Tuesday, friends!

A quick drive-by Hi!
Sun is shining but the temperature won't get above 25 today! Gee SILA, hope you aren't getting sick, hopefully it's just the dry indoor air.
Crown, I had to put a sweater on BIX this morning..he is still trying to grow out his hair from his last beauty salon trip. I don't usually put clothing on my pets but he was so cold! ~Lucky FOX, has his long hair to keep him warm! I should take a pic of BIX with his sweater on, but it might embarrass him...lol.
Gotta get going today, a busy one....have a wonderful Tuesday my friends.
YABBA!BADDA!BINGSTER!

Sounds like Carl and his hump.
Oh, yes! Fox LOVES cold weather.
He has even been seen to lay down in the snow.
(I believe he thinks he's a Husky!)
