| Prompt: Holiday Shoppers: Are you an early Shopper or last minute Shopper? I always shop early. I just have my mother and cousin to shop for. I am in no hurry. My son is in Oregon and we don't exchange Christmas gifts anymore. My sister in Florida. We just send each other Gift Cards. I buy my minister a pair of earrings. I don't work anymore so I don't have friends to buy for. I do give out Christmas Cards. My husband doesn't want any gifts. He takes me to Kate Spade and buys me what I want. With my father and in-laws being gone, I don't have them to buy for. Christmas does change over the years. I am going Christmas shopping next week. Just gift cards and things for Mom.  |
| Prompt: Write about your favorite Thanksgiving memories for your entry today. When I was fourteen and lived at my grandparents when Dad was in Vietnam, we had a Thanksgiving meal. I wore a red pants suit and my my mother let me have a small glass of wine. I felt grown up. When Dad wasn't in Vietnam, we lived in Tennessee and Arkansas. Dad used to cook the meals and they were good. In Arkansas, my friend bought me a vinyl yellow dig and purple Smiley Toy. I was sixteen. I bought my friend cologne later on. The meals were always good. I loved being with my grandparents. I didn't always get along with Dad but we had good times and we were in a good place years before he died. My husband and I had Thanksgiving with my son, his wife and my mother last year. My son lives in Oregon and was home for Dad's funeral. I am glad I got to be with my son. My husband and I will be having Thanksgiving dinner together tomorrow. My mother is in Oregon. I have good memories of the meals, being with my parents and grandparents. My aunt and uncle and cousins were there. I enjoy Christmas more but being with the people we love is always nice. As we grow older, we lose family members, each memory is a treasure.  |
| Thankful memories. The holidays are coming. Dad died a year ago. Dad would come over to my house for my Christmas/Birthday Party. He loved ice cream cake. He liked to relax in the recliner. On New Years Eve, my husband and I would go to my parents house. We had Pizza Hut Pizza and cinnamon rolls. Mom and I would play board games and Dad would play his polka music. When my son and his wife were here, they would come over to my house for Christmas. So would my parents and my daughter-in-law"s parents. My husband's parents were here as well. We had chicken, scalloped potatoes, chicken salad, noodles, baked beans, deviled eggs, Mac and Cheese and ice cream cake. My daughter-in-law, mother, her mother and me would play Johnny Cash music and dance. I played George Strait Christmas music and Dad liked that. My husband is watching TV with my father and my daughter-in-law's father. They would look at us and shake their heads. Gift time. Gifts were fun. I would get extra because it was my Birthday December 21. I would get jewelry, Barbie items, tea pots, lighthouse items. My father was happy with money and clothes. My mother. She would get tea sets, flower vases, jewelry. My husband liked clothes and anything tractor related he would get. My son would get Rock and Roll Tapes, clothes, gift cards. His wife. I would get her jewelry, jewelry box, cologne and gift cards. I would let mt husband buy gifts his parents liked. There were other gifts but it hard to remember. My son moved to Minnesota and then he moved to Oregon. He and his wife work in Psychology. My husband's parents are gone. My daughter-in-law's father died. My father is gone. My husband, mother and me have Christmas now. It is lonely it seems. We do treasure the memories. Happy memories are to treasure.  |
| Prompt: Lyn asked what do we see looking out the window when the day ends? Lately, I see rain or snow trying to develop. One night, a raccoon was outside and knocked our therometer off the meter pole. He was cute.One night, I saw flashing orange lights. Maybe it was a farmer working late in his field. I live by fields. It is quiet at night. It has been years since I have seen a deer. If I saw Big Foot, that would be scary. Sometimes, I see blue lights in the sky. A plane or UFO? Twinkling stars. The moon. These are welcome sights. ** Image ID #2207771 Unavailable ** |
| It was Teddy Bear Day or rather party with a Teddy Bear, In my case, I have a few Teddy Bears. Time to give a party. I baked a chocolate cake and sugar cookies. Yes! Teddy Bears love these.

| Prompt: "There is always a but in this imperfect world." Anne Bronte Write about this in your Blog entry today. But. Isn't there always a but in this world? We elected a new President but will the world approve? A vaccine was invented to prevent Covid but will it always work? The world isn't perfect. We find a solution to a problem but there are more problems. It would be nice if we had peace and problems were solved and we never had any more problems. No more buts. Life would be perfect. We will always have buts. Solve problems. But there will be more. Go shopping for groceries but next week you will need more. You are happily married but life will have more problems. We pray. Have patience. Do your best. But hope for a better tomorrow for all of us. We make the best of an imperfect world. But can we pull it off?  |
| Prompt:Precious and few. Write about this in your Blog entry today. I love the song Precious and Few. Life is precious when things are going well. We seem to have a few good things in life anymore and we cherish those moments. The older I get, the less precious moments I have. Cherish the good things. Treasure the good things in life. They are precious. I pray for the good things in my life and hope for good things for all of us. Precious and few are the moments we can share. Family moments. My husband and sin. My kitty. My memories. Christmas. Hopefully, good things are ahead for all of us and maybe they will be precious and not few. Cherish everything good in life.  |
| Prompt: Joy asked us about candy so I am writing about candy. I love M&Ms, Milky Way, Three Musketeers, Kit Kat and anything chocolate. I love chocolate covered pretzels and my mother makes the best chocolate fudge. Chocolate Chip cookies. Chocolate Cake. Okay. I know this is about candy but I do get carried away. Lindt chocolate candy is the best. I don't like chocolate ice cream or chocolate milk. Anything chocolate that you can eat, I will eat it! I almost forgot chocolate bunnies and chocolate eggs and chocolate Santa's. There you have it. My chocolate addiction.  |
| Theme 1 Merit Badge Magic For Heart Merit Badge Peace. John Lennon sang Give Peace A Chance. In the 60's. The Vietnam War. Everyone wanted Peace. I wore Peace sign necklaces. Love and Peace. Hippies had the right idea. My father went to Vietnam three times. I wished I could have participated in those Peace Rallies. I went through a Hippie stage. Peace. The world without wars. People caring for each other and making the world a better place. Flying our flags and wavering our banners high. Loving each other, Loving God and Jesus. Working together. Sharing and caring. Never wanting to hurt anyone. It would be great to have a quiet, peaceful world. Imagine. The song by John Lennon. Imagine there's no Heaven. There is a Heaven. That's why we struggle and pray to worship God so we can get to Heaven. The world living as one. Peace and harmony. Life would be good. We have wars. We pray for peace. We hope our leaders want peace and will do something to make the world a better place. We as people can be kind to each other and don't pollute the world. Show love to your fellow man. Do good things for the world. Be nice to animals and don't abuse them. This, too is peace. My father died on Veterans Day last year. I cried and played Vietnam Protest songs. My father and I had fun the first ten years of my life. He went to Vietnam and each time he come back, he was distant and you couldn't get close to him. I loved my father the last twenty-five years of his life. We were there for each other and we went through medical issues together. Thanks for nothing, Vietnam. Dad and I found peace and love with each other. It was rough. It took a lot of years. If the country Vietnam wouldn't have been at war with us, Dad and I would have been closer and there would have been some peace and harmony in the world. I guess we count our blessings. We can't change the past. Let's do all we can to restore peace and harmony. Pray. Be good to everyone. I am thinking of wearing peace necklaces again. If it would help restore peace, I would. All we are saying is: Give peace a chance. Thank you, John |
