Beautiful flower, and that plate of breakfast food has made me hungry. Now, I have to go raid the refrigerator.

heh heh heh

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

to that!
Today was warm and lovely, so I took a long walk along the lake with Penny.
Then after lunch I had the joy of getting my 2 grandsons after school, and helped them with homework.
Where does the time go...they were just babies yesterday and today they are in 3rd and 4th grades??
Have a restful night all

 

[MariaRegina]

I have one granddaughter and another one the way (Due date: January 1, 2012).

Being a grandmother is fun.

I am busy sewing for them. I like to make PJs and slacks.

My next project are those PJs with booties for cold winter nights and mornings.

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

Congrats Maria!
They'll love those toasty warm pj's

live actors sitting in store windows dressed in costumes
for the Nutcracker production put on at the local high school...
this little girl was so cute, don't think she is high school age,
but she was tickled to have me take her picture.

I have a Raggedy Annie outfit, where the dress is blue, & the white Apron is much like this... so darn Cute!!

I wore it to our Adult Halloween Skate, &
out of mercy, they Awarded me a prize the 3rd. year.

CONGRATULATIONS! YES, I love being a grandparent. I have four grandsons with hopes of having a granddaughter one of these days. God has richly blessed our family and I give thanks.

I was able to babysit my only grandchild on Tuesday evening. She is 19 months and getting to be a real playmate. She was pretty busy all night and made me feel awesome.
That is a very cute costume Annie.

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

That is great Jan Baby girls are fun!

My grandsons are active, inquisitive boys, who think it is cool that their 'memere' (french for grandmother)
has a nature collection of animal bones, snake skins, nests etc etc
I will be a great asset to them come science fair time
It was fun caring for them all summer...each day we had a nature study.
Living on a lake, surrounded by forests gave us plenty to explore...and I was in heaven
Nature lover that I am, I don't cringe when they bring a frog (among other things) into the house

We have just one grandchild...I am so thankful for him...he had me laughing so hard last Saturday, my sides were hurting...he is going to be 14 in the spring.

Dave those pictures are so interesting...what beautiful, modern architecture, I would need to take lots of pictures there too. The harp is amazing. I always think of the old buildings in Britain, thanks for showing us the new stuff.

 

[angelwind]

PS...Your group of oldies look so sweet, ((((((hugs)))))).

 

[faithinlife]

Those are nice pictures! The harp is nice also.

Here is a poem for the Christmas season:

T'was the Month before Christmas



T'was the month before Christmas

When all through our land,

Not a Christian was praying

Nor taking a stand.

See the PC Police had taken away

The reason for Christmas - no one could say.

The children were told by their schools
not to sing

About Shepherds and Wise Men
and Angels and things.

It might hurt people's feelings,
the teachers would say

December 25th is just a 'Holiday.'
Yet the shoppers were ready
with cash, checks and credit

Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!

CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-Pod

Something was changing, something quite odd!

Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa

In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.

As Targets were hanging
their trees upside down

At Lowe's the word Christmas -
was no where to be found.

At K-Mart and Staples
and Penny's and Sears

You won't hear the word Christmas;
it won't touch your ears.

Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty
Are words that were used to intimidate me.

Now Daschle, Now Darden,
Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen

On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!

At the top of the Senate,
there arose such a clatter

To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.

And we spoke not a word,
as they took away our faith

Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace

The true Gift of Christmas was
exchanged and discarded

The reason for the season,
stopped before it started.

So as you celebrate 'Winter Break'
under your 'Dream Tree'

Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.

Choose your words carefully,
choose what you say


Shout "MERRY CHRISTMAS,"
not Happy Holiday!


Please, all Christians join together
and wish everyone you meet

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!


Christ is The Reason
for the Christ-mas Season!

 

[angelwind]

Merry Christmas to all!!!!!!!

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

Great Pics Dave Looks like a fun day...and a fun place for the kids!

Mary looks frozen....it must have been cold off the water!

Thank you Angel' Sis'

Do not be deceived in anyway by all this mainstreet architecture and cleanliness

In the streets behind these charades
are post victorian buildings, pre-war and post war buildings and streets
heavily neglected and in deplorable condition

Road maintenance is very low on the council's priority list
~the council are running tenant referendums and surveys
to maybe FOCUS such funds as they want to spare_on the worst/ most necessary
Considering the number of vehicles on the road these days
the revenue from car tax... should be diverted back, to road maintenance



We visit the same area next week _ to go to the theatre "The Snowman"
I will endeavour to provide more- 'insightful' images

[servant of Merciful Love]

Oh wow sad to hear it wasn't kept up as a historical district!

Is the the same Snowman?
