Snowmen Part I

I love to collect things especially Christmas decorations. .

This Christmas I am am displaying all of  the snowmen I have collected on our family room fireplace.



Except for the stocking hangers which are the Coca Cola Bears (more about them later in the month), the fireplace mantle is lined with snowmen.




I love this one because of the little bird singing in his broom!


This snowman I bought at Goodwill a few weeks ago. I knocked him over and broke his arm off when I set him on the counter at the cashier! Of course I bought him anyway!

Tomorrow I will have snowmen part II!

Day Two

Another favorite Christmas ornament of mine is this one.



It's a little mail box that my SIL made for me back when we were all crafty and stuff.

Every year when I put the Christmas decorations away I jot down a few words on a piece of paper. I've been doing that for years. All those little pieces of paper are folded up and put in in this little mailbox.


One day I hope the kids will enjoy going back and reading them.

Until tomorrow.....

Day One

Happy day one of Holidailies! At least I know I have titles for every post this month!

I plan on doing lots of posts about favorite Christmas decorations.

Starting with this one.




This Garage Sale ornament was given to me by a friend a long time ago.  We had kids of similar ages and hung around together a lot. And we used to love to go to garage sales together! She moved to New Jersey and we lost touch years ago but I think of her every time I look at this ornament.

Until tomorrow...

Hello........Is anyone out there?

Jeez, seems like it's been forever since I posted anything. but probably for good reason. Nothing has been going on lately so any posts will probably be pretty boring.

Rich just got  home today. He went deer hunting with Chris and my brothers and their kids. They go every year but this was the first time Rich went in a few years. Anyway, he was only gone for a few days. He did not shoot a deer, which I am glad for as neither one of us really likes venison. But he had a good time hanging out with everyone, drinking beer and eating junk food! Typical deer camp!

This is the first year that my dad didn't go. He's gone every year since before I was born, but I guess at almost 81 years old he didn't want to be bothered anymore!

Thanksgiving will be at his house this year. It's my year to not have anything so that's good. Although I do plan on having my sisters in law one weekend and maybe Brads parents sometime, too. It will be nice to not have to stress out on Christmas eve with a house full of people!

I put a app on my iPhone called "map My Walk". It tracks where you walk, how far and how fast. Yesterday I had the day off of work and I was excited to take a nice long walk and use the app. Well, I took the nice long walk but I was so busy making sure I had my music and the key to my house that I totally forgot to use the app until I was just a few blocks away from my house! Nice! Menopause, how I love theeeeee!

Maybe I'll try again tomorrow!

Read a couple of good books...Killing Lincoln and Killing Kennedy. I'm not really a history buff but these books were pretty good. Learned more about the Civil War and the Cuban Missile Crisis than I ever did in school! I'm done with reading about assassinating presidents, though. It's just too sad!

Well I said enough for someone who had nothing to write about. I will leave with with some kittie pics!

Sweet Smudge!

They love looking out the front door!

That's the end of my tale!! 


Till the next time.......

Brenda's Photo Challenge-Autumn In All Her Glory

It's  Brenda's Photo Challenge time! This one is about Autumn In All Her Glory!

Michigan can certainly put on a beautiful color show in the fall. Note the header  for my very favorite fall picture!


This was taken at the same time. A carpet of amber leaves!



I think that the courtyard of the hospital give the most variety of color during peak color season.
