I love Christmas carols. In fact, it just doesn’t seem like Christmas without them. Of course, we all have our favorites, but for me the thing that I love best comes from these 2 albums:
I have been listening to these for most of my life and I just love the memories they bring.
Alas, I thought I was going to need a new record player as I wasn’t getting any sound when the needle hit the groove. Turns out I just needed a new needle. Go figure.
Until next time, stay healthy.
Never be a smart ass to a woman holding a prescription for hormones in one hand and an industrial size bag of feminine hygiene products in the other.
Well, it is finally here. The last month of the year. Which means only one thing—it’s time to make Christmas cards.
I always find myself a couple short, but I am hoping that won’t be the case when I make my own.
I have been dutifully stalking YouTube and other places for card inspiration. I just hope my eye hasn’t gotten above my talent level.
Until next time, stay healthy.
Well, that went as expected.
For the entire month of November, I wrote nothing. Nada. Zip. Not a single word.
Ah, well. December is a new month. Maybe I will write then.
Yeah, so not happening until after I get some definite medical solutions instead of this dichotomous key of possibilities.
Ah, well, at least now I can play my Christmas music without too many odd looks.
Until next time, stay healthy.
With all my brothers and sisters and children in town for the holidays, I will be taking a mini vacation from the blog.
I should be back on the 29th.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Meet the newest member of our family.
Until Next time, stay healthy.
Sometimes, when everything is going to plan, you realize how much the plan sucks.
While in the US, we celebrate our veterans today, others around the world call this Remembrance Day.
In either case, many thanks and a heart full of gratitude to those who help make freedom possible by their sacrifices.
On this day in 1775, the Continental Marines were formed in the US by the 2nd continental congress
Their first battle was on March 3rd, 1776 in Nassau, Bahamas.
Once the floors were laid in the 3 bedrooms, it was time to put everything back. My goal was to have everything returned to its new and proper place by Saturday evening. I finished it, with hours to spare, and walked roughly 7 miles in the process (that’s a lot of trips).
Sunday was to be devoted to hanging the new closet organizer in the front bedroom, which had the added benefit of removing 3 boxes from my dining area.
I started on the closet soon after breakfast on Sunday. While the hubbinator worked on the backyard, I measured, cut drilled and screwed to hang the rails then install the panels and shelves.
It wasn’t long before I realized I was a box short of a finished product. Somewhere along the lines I noticed that I was missing 8 shelves and one 8″ drawer.
So I then wrote to the manufacturer who will probably tell me to reach out to the seller. Anyway, I consulted the Magic 8 ball and asked if it would be done before everyone arrived at Thanksgiving. Signs did not look promising.
Ah, well. What I have up is nice. It’s just no completely functional.
Until next time, stay healthy.
