There is no title for a day like today... it's raining, papers are flying, prayers and praise being sent heavenwards, the cold is coming, and fear is trying to take hold.

Yesterday I just had joy and peace. Today I still do, but fear is trying to take hold over me. Trying not to let my mind wonder to the what if's and keep my mind on God is some times a trial. I just want to fight and come up with some real ziggers for certain people. Then that in turn leads my mind to wonder how some people can be SO insensitive even cruel and uncaring. Note this is not meant for ANYONE who reads this... You all are and have been wonderful.

I just want to thank EVERYONE for the prayers (and continued prayers) and words of comfort. You'll never know how just someone asking if your OK and listening, well what it does the mind and body good. OK I'm in tears now... :) good ones (I hope).

What's yours?

Holiday traditions, movies, cookies or goodies. This time of year brings many things... Here are some of ours...

Watching: A Christmas Carol (the Hallmark version) several times before Christmas day. It's my mom's favorite Christmas movie. Mine on the other hand is "It's a Wonderful Life". At the moment it's lost... :-/ I'm sure we'll find it...

Cookies: We've never been big on making Christmas cookies. We have good intentions... time seems to slip away and leave us with the NEXT year promise. :)

Goodies: Mom's Toffee... HINT HINT that's one thing that is almost a shoe in for the holidays. That and peanut brittle... the BEST Peanut brittle EVER! BAR NONE! I'll have to post the recipes some time... so we don't lose them. Trust me it's happened before.

Traditions: Having oyster stew on Christmas eve. I really don't care for it all that much... but it's a tradition. I've never been a great fan of soups and such.

So tell me yours... I'm all ears... or eyes I guess. :)

I just made me want to cry...

Post #291...

Here I sit... toe throbbing, the blower on the wood stove belting out it's "My barrings are going out" noise and nonsense, it's trying to rain and sleet at the same time, and wondering what it all means. Now that I think of it I should be out watering critters before the hose freezes up again. UGH... winter... and just think it's not REALLY winter yet.

Well... I had... yes that my dear friends is the operative word  HAD a whole post written... and some how all but the top paragraph was deleted... sigh....

I'm going now... the auto saving function is great... but oh how I wish it wouldn't save everything so quickly and would let me SAVE if I wanted to, when I wanted to, and HOW I wanted to... GRRRRRR

An Apology

I just want to apologize if I have offended any one buy a post that has now been removed. It was not my intention. Please forgive me if I have...

Sara...

Sunday Stills... Pets

"Scout"

The ever present watch dog... what she's really waiting and watching for is her most non-favorite neighbor (it's the whole family) to chase... Naughty little dog...

"Ranger"

This is what he does best... :) He's never been a really active dog... maybe that's why he's so Fluffy! :)

"Wallace"

AKA: Wally, Bunny, Wallace Eugene (when he's being bad), Mr. Hateful... What a little terror he can be... :)

"Whinny"

Some dogs are just dorky... she is one of them... our first dorky dog. God bless her (with some sense!) :)

"Kodie"

Checking out his first Bumble Bee... :)

Had to go to the archives this week... I never seemed to have my camera handy other than for shots of the moon with the P&S camera.

For more Sunday Stills you can go HERE.

The pain of it all...

:-| that's just how I feel... OK, so here I have had a headache almost all bloomin' day long, about scalded myself in the shower, and to top off the night... I dropped the leaf that we took out of the table on my big toe. Don't ask how, all I know is that my toe is aching and so is my head... and that it all started with wanting to find a pair socks... :-| Just a simple pair of socks.

That's all for tonight all... I'm tired and cranky... can ya tell :) (note that was a forced smile) :)

It's time to hit the hay and wake up to a hopefully sun shiny day without the freezing drizzle that is in the weather forecast.  EWWW
