Christmas Birthdays.

In one of the bible verses Jesus told the apostles.  I did not mind being born on Christmas Day.  It was that Easter Holiday that  really killed me.  Then he gave them all a hug.

Fireplace Memories.

I bought a movie of a burning Fireplace to play on my TV during the Holidays.  I tried to return it because no matter how high I turned up the volume on the fireplace movie,  the room never got warmer.  The clerk told me no returns on them.  I just thought I would warn you. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Beautiful Pain.

My mother once told me that when a baby dies a thorn grows on a Rose.  This happens to remind us life is full of both beauty and pain.  We must cherish the beauty and pain.  That way we can appreciate life.
My sister died when she was 21 and there was plenty of Roses for her and my family.  When my Mother passed years later at 79.  It rained Rose Peddles on her resting place.

Family Pictures

My friend honored me by showing family pictures she had.  Unlike today's photo's.  These were old, faded, off color and had a unique quality to them.  Sharing them with me was a specially good time making our relationship closer.  Have old family pictures?  Share them and feel the warmth of friendship.  It is a memory photo you may cherish.

Mrs. Farley.

Mrs. Farley lived in my neighborhood and I was friends with her sons.  Mrs. Farley always welcomed me into her home even if her sons were not there.  She even let me still visit after Jimmy stepped in a  nest and we  brought him to her.   We left him in her kitchen so she could help him with his shirt full of angry Wasps.  Thanks Mrs. Farley.

Extreme Christmas Shopping

A friend of mine was with her daughter and were going to their car to go Christmas Shopping.  A car with a "Hugh" enclosed luggage carrier on the top passed and her daughter remarked, "Wow!  Now that is the way to shop!"
