Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

Most of the activities around here are very wheelchair-friendly.

Heck, with Mike's and my strength combined, we could get her all the way up the steep hike to TN's highest point in under half-an hour of pushing, and back down to the car in under 15-seconds if no other hikers obstruct the path.

I’ve been walking with one crutch all evening. It’s all going to be fine.

I’d still like a rewind button or time machine to go back to the moment before I ever stepped on that stupid stepladder though.

In other news, the Mickey lights still haven’t been strung on the front yard tree.

YES!!! I couldn’t remember the name.

Ha! And then I dreamed about making them last night.

Heading out tomorrow for our Christmas trek, but I just wanted to wish you all a very merry Christmas, and give a special shout out to @JenniferS for my awesome Christmas avatar. I probably won't be on line much for the nest couple of days - tomorrow we drive to MD, Monday we'll attend services at National Cathedral in the morning, then spend the rest of Christmas Eve spoiling our grandkids. Christmas day we'll drive to DS' home in VA and have dinner with him, his wife and son, and some of his wife's relatives. We'll probably come home Thursday, depending on the weather.
Anyway, Merry Christmas - love you all!

Merry Christmas!! I hope you have a great trip...have fun spoiling the grandkids!

Glad to hear about a little progress in your healing. Now, don't push yourself -- slow and steady wins the game.

I wouldn't worry about the lights seeing as how you keep them up and running until mid-summer, you still have plenty of time.

April.

April.

And somehow you think that sounds better! You are one of a kind my friend. I do admire that you think outside the box though.

‘Tis the season to be jolly ...



... as long as you don’t have to go to the grocery store two days before Christmas.

We went this morning, it was nothing like that!

Jennifer, you've simply got to get out EARLY in the morning on busy days!! @Wrangler-Rick had the right idea.

Mike is doing the running around today. I just say, “Thank you, Baby”.

Howdy all! We went to a Christmas display today and then to see Mary Poppins Returns. The Christmas display is in a garden center store and they go all out every year and people come from all over, including Germany to see it. This was the last week that it's up and we hadn't had a chance to go before, so we went today. I'll post pictures of some of the highlights. It took us 2 hours to walk through.

The entrance:






The first section is like the miniature villiage in Epcot WS by Germany. Only it's several of those displays. I was a little disappointed this year that I didn't see a single train running. Last year they had a ton.

Very cool. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

The next is a bridge display. I tried to wait for the little kids to leave so they wouldn't be in the pictures I posted, but I stood there for several minutes and they showed no signs of moving on, so I went ahead and took the picture.




The next section is all just the invidual decorations you can buy. I came home with this guy, but with a red scarf and holding a red candy cane instead of a broom: (DH disagrees with me about it being adorable.)





There were some kind of creepy whimsical displays with these mannequins that were bald and naked except for leaves, and they were in cages. The Unicorn one was pretty cool, but the others just looked weird...not sure what they were trying to achieve.



Then there's an escalator ramp and they have very fantasy-like music, and I took video but I don't have a way to post it, so I also took stills. This is my favorite part every year because they really go all out with the display in the ramp area.

The upstairs part is mostly themed trees and all the things you can buy to decorate a tree. So they have a tree that's nothing but owls, or a tree with nothing but sweets (cupcakes, gumdrops, donuts), a tree with butterflies, etc. and then also a few displays with santa or whatever.

 

[Songbird76]

Ornaments of cats and dogs with reindeer antlers:


And some random ornaments that I just thought were weird...like...bacon, dinosaurs, pasta, etc...




They also have normal ornaments...ball ornaments, or crystal looking ones that are actually plastic so they won't break....snowflakes, rocking horses, ballerinas, dragonflies, swans...

Nothing says Christmas like bald, naked mannequins!
