Getting Ready

Getting ready to leave town is fun, confusing, exciting, harried, exhausting and I can hardly wait till we are on the road. We are going to visit family in WA for Christmas and a huge wonderful event (Mom turns 80). Christmas can't get any better than being together with those that you love and have fun with. We are loading up the sleigh and fueling the reindeer for the drive north. As the commercial says "I'm too excited to sleep".

Let it snow

I was so confused.. I had 2 backgrounds on top of each other and couldn't figure out how to get rid of the old FALL one. I wanted to change to the snowflakes or any other I chose but didn't want the confusion to continue. So I reverted back to the very ORIG and now will start over. Ugh. Sometimes it's best to get back to the root of a problem.

We Give Thanks

The table was abundant The family was together And Jason & Allan played some some Chinese piano background music for ambiance. There were plenty of leftovers and lots of laughs. Thanks to Bill & Jennifer the food was delicious. Let the holidays begin.

Tis the Season

Some people are of the opinion that all things Christmas (music, decorations, etc) should wait until after Thanksgiving. But I've always felt that Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year all melt into one long lovely holiday season, making it perfectly acceptable to trim the Christmas tree and listen to favorite Christmas albums even before Thanksgiving dinner is done and over. For my friends in England Christmas is in full swing already and they are loving every minute of it. I am with them. I could have a room just for Christmas decos all year round and enjoy every minute of it.

Don't click until you are sure

I am so sad when I hit a wrong button. I lost all of my side gadgets when I hit a button that I didn't want. Now I have to start over recreating my site. ugh.

Birds of a Feather

As the birds are flying everywhere in our neighborhood looking for food (I guess I see them better with out leaves on the trees) this video is very intriguing to me...

My Aunt was visiting recently and she captured her perspective of the birds also.

57 YEARS of LOVE

11-03-51 was that date for a very special couple - my MOM & DAD... Happy Anniversary to you both. I love you so much and hope I can look as great as you when I am your age. Keep smiling as it is contagious. Hugs to you both, Karen
