Hi Darci, your Christmas page is so pretty. I agree about the Christmas cards. It's fewer each year. I send out about 25 and usually get 12 back or so. People just don't go to the trouble anymore. I also blame social media. It's not really a substitute but sadly people think it is. Anyway it's something I enjoy and I will continue to do it. Today was busy tucking away pumpkins and scarecrows and takig out Santas and snowmen. Nice and cold here too so it's feeling more Christmasey. Have a wonderful evening, friend!
A nice day to you. Snow is falling and I have a smile on my face just seeing it come down. What a breathtaking site!
Some of the grandsons are coming over with Mommy in afew days to help Grammie decorate the Christmas tree. We will have a glorious time and of course Grammie will have hot chocolate with marshmallows for them to enjoy along with some Christmas cookies.
It is always such a nice thought to remember to take time to be kind. Smiles Gloria
IT WAS ONLY 17 THIS MORNING. NOW ITS 28. BRRRRRRR. A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND HERE ARE STILL WITHOUT POWER FROM THE STORM MONDAY. NO HEAT FOR THREE DAYS NOW. I FEEL SO SORRY FOR THEM. IT'S COLD. WE JUST HAD A SERVICEMAN OUT FOR OUT DRINKING WATER SYSTEM. I'M IN SHOCK. HE CHARGED US $310.69 FOR REPAIRS. I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER SYSTEM FROM THESE PEOPLE. (CULLIGAN MAN). THAT IS WAY TO MUCH MONEY TO CHANGE THE FILTERS AND A SWITCH. WELL AT LEAST WE HAVE DRINKING WATER NOW. ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR WEEK. GOD BLESS YOU. LEE

It is a sunny, cold Wednesday at my house. Still in the 30s. How is your day going? I will do my usual daily stuff and then, later, watch another Christmas movie. I just love them. Doesn't matter to me that the storyline is basically the same in every one; I just like the festive, feel-good-ness they give me. Plus I'm a rather sappy soul. Enjoy your day and get out your sled as we begin our coast to the weekend! The first weekend in a new month.
Good afternoon Darci...not much going on in my neck of Belmont..slept in, so got a late start here. Only had one errand to run mid morning, then the laundry began a few hours ago. Dixie and I have been watching the world go by through the windows. Getting ready to start supper within the half hour. My cube steak from last night was consumed, except one piece..which I had for lunch. Think tonight’s exciting dish will be fish sticks and fries, leftover baked beans..and a salad for me. Tomorrow, taking neighbor to her chiropractor appt. Friday, is anyone’s guess..but the week is fading fast. I have only watched one Christmas movie. A Lifetime movie that aired last Friday called Every Other Holiday..though we don’t have cable, so I snagged it free from Kodi a few days ago..commercial free. It starred Dee Wallace and country singer Jimmy Wayne..who grew up here in Gaston county. Very good storyline, and one I will enjoy for years to come. A favorite from 2006, is Christmas Card. I starts Ed Asher. Wishing you a wonderful rest of the week. Stay warm -:)
Well, we have enough snow to build a snowman, but it's not a good packing snow. Still spitting around this morning. Know what you mean, Darc. Christmas cards are few and far between and I do miss sending and receiving as many as we used to! I want to make a few this year and I'd better get with it. Need to run some errands, do some mending, and get my book club book read. I would like to accomplish all of that before I start with Christmas decorations, cards, and a little baking. My shopping is done - hurray! Hope your day is awesome! Love and Hugs, Nancy
Happy Wednesday morning, Darci. I had a busy Tuesday as I changed my bed with a Xmas bedspread and washed the sheets and pillowcases that were on the bed and replaced them with more Christmas looking colors.
Our tree colors are beautiful now with the yellow, orange, and red colors. I just love to look at them.
Enjoy your day. I hope to relax and do some reading. Hugs, Nancy
As I speak, it is a chilly 14* outside, yes, it's cold, but it beats -55*, so I'll take it, and there's no SNO* to contend with, and that's something. And as for change, it is the one thing that all must get used to adjusting to, and a guaranteed issue. Adjust, or become part of the dust of history, eh?!...
GOOD MORNING, LOVE, HUGS, & BLESSINGS, Ms. Darci, I pray YOU have a WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY / HUMPDAY, and are having a FABULOUS WEEK, my friend...
A good day to you & hope the week is going fine .Warming up pretty good here getting into the 70's . Hope those of you getting the brutal cold & snow stay safe .Have the Christmas cards almost finished to mail Then we'll get the shopping finished this weekend .Enjoy your day & take care........George
Hello Darci..a busy week thus far, and looks like the remainder of week will be steady. Hunkering down tonight for our artic blast. By the weekend, rain and 72 degrees on Sunday. Oh, we live in the south, right? Wishing you a blessed week my friend-:)
May you have a pleasant week. This is the week for me to address, write in the cards ,plus photos of family and ready to send out the Christmas cards maybe this next week. What a joy it is to receive cards from friends during the month of December and even into January. Such a glorious time of the season when one and all great each other with a smile and wish one another a Merry Christmas. Smiles Gloria
it's been a long day so far...last night my parrot got outside, it took me until 3oclock this morning to find him, thank god i got his wings cliped so he could'nt fly very far. i have been using warm towels on him all day, looks like he will be alright...he's in his cage with his sister eating now...not really sure how he got out, i probably accidently left his cage unlocked, and when i went out to fill up the bird feeders he snnuck out..i was so scared he would'nt make it, he was so cold..i've had him since i was in college...love him so much...well enough of my drama, hope your day went well, and you have a nice evening...hugs
It's a nice sunny Tuesday here. David and I went out for lunch and now I'm catching up on my computer. I need to finish my book though. I must watch The Voice tonight. So many good very young singers. Hugs, Nancy
Brrr, it's a chilly Tuesday for me. But very sunny and pretty. How is your weather today? I spent the morning writing Christmas cards and I believe I'll get them mailed at the post office Friday when we go for groceries. Each year it seems we give and receive fewer cards. Kind of sad, really. But times have changed and we must move along with the changes. Have a great afternoon/evening. I'll get my work done and then watch a Christmas movie tonight.
Good Afternoon Darci. We live in Michigan and the weather is in the 20's with snow flurries off and on. We have not had the big snow yet, but it is coming soon. Winter is not my favorite season, for sure. I hope your weather stays more on the warmer side then Michigan's cold and snowy weather. Hugs, Janay

Snow still falling. I was planning on doing my cards this p.m. good day to stay home and do them. You're right, I find I'm sending less and less cards via snailmail. The electronic cards are so nice and don't waste paper. Enjoy your movie. Cuddle up and relax. Luv ya
