Rolling south!

After enjoying our annual BSP hoppin john dinner with sista a and spouses, MM and I hit the road and drive down to Columbus, spending the night at the visitors center. Doesn't everyone sleep there?! It was a quiet night.

Our next destination is lunch with sister Nan and cousins in Bluffton. More on that tomorrow.

KC isn't very happy the first hour if travel, bless his heart. And MM left in the parking light by accident last night, so it took a bit of time to jockey the battery juice around to get the Moho cranked. The engine battery run down keeps the generator from working, so he learned. Oh the fun!

All is well. And KC is settling down. Miles and smiles, y'all!

Happy New Year, y’all!

 

May  peace break into your home and may thieves come  to steal your debts.
May  the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for  $100 bills.
May  love stick to your face like Vaseline and may  laughter assault your lips!
May  happiness slap you across the face and may your  tears be those of joy.
May  the problems you had, forget your home address! 

In  simple words .............

May 2013 be a year of good health and much happiness!!!

Dick and Sandy

Goodbye 2012!

You have been filled with both joys and sorrows, 2012.  Today is your final day.  Tomorrow begins a brand new year.  I’m ready!

MM and I may be able to stay awake and watch the ball drop in Times Square, but maybe not.  We will definitely be safe at home, and probably sound asleep when 2013 arrives.  No party animals around here, that is for sure.

How are YOU celebrating New Year’s Eve?  Do you have any special traditions?

Whatever you do, be safe, y’all!

Children’s Sermon

Be careful what question you ask kids…out of the mouths of babes can bring the house down!

A Baptist pastor was presenting a children's sermon.  During the sermon, he asked the children if they knew what the resurrection was.  Now, asking questions during children's sermons is crucial, but at the same time, asking children questions in front of a congregation can also be very dangerous. Having asked the children if they knew the meaning of the resurrection, a little boy raised his hand. The pastor called on him and the little boy said, "I know that if you have a resurrection that lasts more than four hours you are supposed to call the doctor."

It took over ten minutes for the congregation to settle down enough from their laughter for the worship service to be continued.

Blue plate special!

Look who we ran into yesterday at lunch…Empress Bee’s sweet Ayla!  Loved getting her hugs, and seeing her new “do.”  Adorable!  Did you tell your mama HI for me?

So Christmas decorations are all put away for another year.  I don’t like taking them down this soon, normally leaving everything up until Epiphany, but we have to now get ready to pull out next week.  Priorities.  We haz them.  It is three weeks till the blogger’s cruise, and we have places to go and people to see ahead of that.

If you are of a mind to, please say a little prayer for a sista’s DH (dear hubby).  Bruce underwent a liver transplant last night in Atlanta.  I haven’t heard any updates this morning, so I assume and pray that all went well.  As with any transplant, someone lost his/her life in order to make that transplant possible.  God bless all those grieving their loss.

Organ donation is very important, and this is just another example.  I am the lucky recipient of a ligament, so I am especially aware of this need for parts no longer in use.  Be a donor!

And be happy today; hug your loved ones.  Life is precious, y’all!

A bleak, winter day

Cold and yucky, yes it is, so it is just the perfect day to undecorate and get Christmas stuff put away. This is never as much fun as getting it all out, but it must be done. We head south...next week! Yippee!!! Warm weather...I want some.

I saw that our mountains had a light dusting of snow when we went into town yesterday, but it was so overcast that it wasn't a great photo op. Today probably won't be any better for photography either. I will try though. Even the kitties have not begged to go outside with it being so cold. Smart kitties.

OK, I have procrastinated enough. The wee tree is calling my name. Time to get busy.

Enjoy your last Friday of the year. 2012 is almost gone!!! How'd that happen?

Christmas chaos, part deux

Here is Maytag Man looking fetching in MY new blue scarf.  He agreed that it was warm.

Two shy gals:

And a cutie pie showing off his new Superman jammies:

Queen Haley:

Next up, MM and I stopped next door to see the Christmas explosion for the wee boys.  Santa brought this whatever-it-is that had  seventy eleven decals that Jason carefully put in place.  Good dad!  Two boys and frequently a dog actively supervised.

After oohing and aahing over all the new loot, we all wound up at Haley’s house for a delish Christmas brunch.

I then spent a good bit of the afternoon putting over 800 songs on MM’s new iPod Nano.  He loves, loves it!  I ordered him a protective case for it today, and found my old unused phone case with a clip on it for him to tote it and the ear buds inside.  He’d better not lose this!

Yep, he’s wired for sound now…and the beat goes on!

Everyone lived happily thereafter.

The end.
