Good morning, gotta hurry...soon 3 boys will be on me. Chilly here...for me. I'll have to take pics of their Christmas trees.. They have 2 and one is a cubs themed one,lol. My son is their number 1 fan. They have school today so I can unpack and orient myself here in peace for a few hours. Trip was good but tiring and back breaking...those seats get more uncomfortable every year. Have a great day everyone.
My kids are republicans but my siblings are democrats, especially my liberal university professor brother. I don't talk politics with them... better that way.
To you all Xx I have nothing to report, what ails me still does So I rely on your escapades for a glimpse of the outside world - keep 'em coming
I'm sure your grandson will sent you a friend me again request sooner or later Ike...he won't be able to live without your grand tales and feistiness for very long.
@Ike Willis - well Ike I totally missed yer post ! Now there's a first, I was just about to ask 'Where's Ike ?'
Ha ha ! I should have known better, although you have been late turning up before haven't you Hope the fridge met your requirements this time @Ike Willis
This pic would be scary sideways or upside down....I wouldn't have been posting it then. They were two very smooth flights though. Everything went perfectly...for me. In Dallas I did think of @Joe Riley because they came over the speakers and said the flight from Denver is delayed 2 hrs. Hope your daughter has a good trip back home.
Well I'm a happy camper this Christmas. For the last few years I have been putting together the holiday gatherings for those in my family that generally get left out by those better off on both sides. About 12 years ago I started to notice that several of the poorer folks on both sides of my family, ( husband and mine), were not showing up for the different get togethers that most families have. Turns out they were not even being invited at all. For some reason this seemed to irritate those that were financially better off, and my husband I and started to recieve less and less invitations to the fancier parties, so we made the decision that we preferred to make a welcoming place for anyone that needed a place to go for the holidays. Two Christmases ago, I pulled the "I'm your grandmother and great grandmother" card, and shamed most of the family on both sides to show up for the yearly gathering. I threatened, wheedled, and even used our youngest son's death of that year to get most of them showed up. My Michael died five days later. Last year, I admit I hid under a rock. I just couldn't face the holiday. But this year I pulled it together and had Thanksgiving for those that I knew would be spending the day alone again this year. Then two days after Thanksgiving I fell again, and twisted my spine. I've had seven herniated disks for several years now, so I've pretty much been stuck in my wheelchair since then. But Sunday, I was told that the poorest in my family got together and made reservations at a local Denny's for our Christmas gathering. I am so proud to be a part of this part of my family. The Creator is GOOD! He has blessed me with the those that really understand the meaning of giving. These are the last Christmas pictures that my Michael and I were ab;e to take.
@Ina I. Wonder - you didn't fall this Thanksgiving did you Ina I'm pleased to hear you happy and have an event that is special to look forward too
