I had scrapbooking “work” to do today before I could start on my daily page for December. It was a pj day until just before Mark came home at noon from work. We took Nellie’s Christmas gift to her and went to Southern Lunch in Lexington to grab a bite to eat, but they were closed. So we...

Scrapbooking in the morning and lunch with Mark at 11. We wanted to go to Cagney’s but the parking lot was full, probably since the kids are out of school this week. So, next door to Mamma Mia’s it is! When I let Asher out after I got back home I took a picture of the Oxalis growing along the...

I truly am not really feeling very festive this year for some reason! I think the year just got totally away from me and I can’t wrap my head around another year being all but gone! If I feel this way at 70...what is 80 gonna look like? I didn’t put up any decorations...not even my beloved...

Leave Christ in Christmas By Margaret Cagle Christmas without Christ? Tell me, how can it be? So many people change it To suit themselves, you see. Can’t we say “Merry Christmas” Instead of “Happy holidays”? We take Christ out of Christmas In so many different ways. It is nice to exchange...

Santa doesn’t visit our house, so the cookies, if any get made, are eaten by Mark and I! Too bad! So sad for Santa! YUMMY for us! 12/23/25

Season of Joy Oh! Christmas wreath upon the wall, Neath memory’s tender spell A wondrous charm doth o’er thee fall, And round thy beauty dwell. Anna de Brémont (1864-1922)

I agree! Mark and I just said it certainly doesn't seem like Christmas! And you are so correct! We don't have littles coming to the house any more, so I didn't even decorate.....at all! I usually put out my snowmen, but didn't even do that this year! Littles around do make a difference...

Good Morning! Happy Merry Christmas Eve! Can't believe I am saying that! This year has zipped by! I think Mark is only working a half day today, so he will be home around noon. Hopefully he will take me to supper tonight! Other than that, I need to do some end-of-the-year church paperwork...

YUP! Just like I said! It was a good day!

Have a wonderful time with your family! Sounds like you had the beginnings of wonderful times with your Bestie last night!

So far, so good! Cash for gifts gotten. Lunch had. Now I'm scrapping!

Your Taz sounds like our Asher...misjudging his jumps....can't hear a lick hardly.....but Asher is cranky, not like your sweet boy! How old is Taz? Asher will be 15 in March.

Good morning, Today will be going to the bank for cash for Christmas. Probably lunch with Mark. Ilene is at her son's so I won't be seeing her until next week. And I will probably do some more scrapping at some point. Have a great day!

Be careful on the roads today! Glad yesterday went well!

If I don’t do Mark’s laundry on Sunday afternoon, I do it on Monday. So, that was the main task for today. Plus washing the bed linens. Asher has been puking a lot lately, so his bedding also needed to be washed. I threw one of the heavy towels he lays on into the load with Mark’s work...

Your clustering is beautiful, Ona! Wonderful page! Love the bold colors!

Yes, tonight should be much better! Thank you! I can only imagine the view from the other end of the woods! But I was too lazy to go there, LOL! Much easier to just walk out my back door!

Usually I can count on tonight being a great night of sleep after a night like last night! Fingers crossed!

Such sweet photos, Beverly!

What a beautiful sunset over the backyard, looking towards the woods on this first official night of winter! 12/21/25
