Grumpy fish...?!

speaking of fishes.. my doctor has a very funny orange big fish.
When you get close and you look at him.. HE SMILES.. no seriously, he moves his mouth and looks like he's smiling rather than having his usual fixed D: mouth.
also follows you around on his tank.
he even throws little rocks to the glass, to get your attention.

The next line should be: "And the next day I rest."

My boys each have a small tree on their dresser that they can decorate any way they want.

Grandson's have a small tree in their bedrooms too. They make their "designs". Fun for them, and I love seeing what they think is a "cool" Christmas tree. Older boy likes anything to do with sports, younger boy likes cars and trucks.

Good morning and happy Monday. I'm getting peace and quiet today and the only person I have to get moving is my dh because I don't get the boys back until this afternoon. I never did get the decorating done because my baby wants me to wait until he's home.

Good afternoon to you. We got 4 more inches of snow last night. I'm really done. We were going to do Christmas shopping today. Guess it will have to wait until tomorrow.

Don't feel bad I don't have an auto can opener either, I can't justify the cost of a good one.

I have had two can openers in the last 30 years. Mine newest is a Proctor Silex that cost less than $10. Sometime basic is good enough and don't always need the top of the line.

I dumped canned stuff a few times with a hand can opener and moved on long ago to an electric one. Me, $10 well spent.

I can't agree more.

I can't figure out why we have to pay for TV and have to endure such horrible commercials. Like I said, I use that time to do other things. I personally think they should pay us to watch commercials. Can you tell, I'm not a TV person?

 

[betty rose]

So far we haven't gotten anything, I'm thinking the weatherman was wrong.

I think we got your snow, 4 inches last night. It was not predicted!

Thank you, Minnie.
Yes, I feel very fortunate and thank God every day for all the blessings he has bestowed on our family.
Some years are different than others. Even though all us boys are still local, my lil' sis and her family are in Lafayette, LA., so they don't make it every year. Although, everyone makes it to Christmas Eve (and usually at least part of Christmas day, as well) at mom and pops.
And yes, our Thanksgiving does kinda' resemble that Norman Rockwell painting, that's why I love it so much.

Ours was like that in the past. Cherish every moment you can spend with all the family. (I know you do). It goes by all too quickly.

Oh, I laughed over all this!! Reminded me of my previous dog (about 10 years ago), who pulled something similar on me. For some odd reason, she scratched at the bedroom door to wake me up, and she wanted to go out around 2 AM. I never let her out without her leash on. But it was 2 AM, and I was in jammies and slippers, and didn't feel like walking down the street in my jammies . . . so I hoped she'd just go out, do her business, and come right back in. Nope. She takes off down the street and disappears!!

So what do I do in a panic?!! I go wake up hubby, and ask him if he'd please go get her (I didn't care if he went down the street in jammies . . . ) ! So he heads out for close to 15 minutes before I finally see both of them coming back down the street. Turns out, he found her 3 streets away helping herself to a "banquet" in some person's trashcan . . .

Ha! She made use of her new found freedom. I never take Walt off the property without a leash and he doesn't leave property. Even out back that is fenced if the gate is open he doesn't leave. He has been real strange the last few nights. And yes, he woke me again last night at 12:30am. I went to sleep early after two nights of stupid sleep and up 2 hours later.

I would move in an instant, if not for the kids and GK's.

I think you'd love it but I'll pass on anything involving frozen tundra

Day 3 of the Adventure... October 21st

Vive Paris... Another lengthy hike to the subway and then to the Eiffel Tower. It's still an amazing structure and one of the most enduring Icons on the planet.

A view from about halfway up.


And from the top....

Later that same day we just wondered around looking at shops, eating and generally attempting to take a minor break. We still had a large number of days to go and overdoing would just be silly. Paris is an impressive city of that there is no doubt. We found ourselves stopping every few days of the trip to recharge the batteries and be ready to hit the highlights the next day. After all, I'm scaring the hell out of 70 and my sister is (a bit younger). Neither of us are considered spring chickens anymore. So Tomorrow is the Louvre and Notre Dame Cathedral.

Is he getting advanced in age. Our dog Freddie started going out many times at night. He ended up having urerter cancer. If he starts going out more, you might want to check it out. It could be old age....just like us humans.

Time for my nap. It's late today. I got up later, this morning. Hoping to get back to schedule. I've been off lately, just like Walt!
