The city park is decorated for the holidays. People in town donated most of the decorations. I gave a plastic snowman to my granddaughter.
I like seeing the green boughs and red bows on this white fencing. Today we got our first snow of this year. I don't mind saying, I am already over it. LOL Just do not enjoy he cold and the short days can be depressing. To much time inside.
I've been wondering where this little Christmas truck piece could be packed, but I won't look for it. I just can not seem to want to decorate for myself. I'll just try to enjoy everyone else's.
I think my daughter Liz, is having Christmas at her house this year. I do know Angie ,is hosting Thanksgiving. I also know what kinds of pies will be served , as I sold them pies, through the American Legion. It was to help raise money for the veterans. I like helping the vets.
I am wishing all of you wonderful holidays filled with family time and lots of love. Go to your family gathering and let go of any old grudges or arguments.... life is short and those type of issues just weigh you down. So please enjoy life.XO
Good advice. Let go and let God.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays to you, Susie! 🎄
Thank you Sandi, I wish you a wonderful holiday season. Blessings
DeleteHi Susie - I’m not sure I’m ready to start in with Christmas decorations just yet. November has gone by too fast.
ReplyDeleteWow I now what you mean. I wanted to be out of my house a few minutes, hours everyday during fall. Not into wnter and it snowed 3 inches here already, thankfully melted next day. LOL Blessings for joyful times.
DeleteWe super enjoyed the post, as AIWAYS. Of course I love the old truck! I donate to the VETS my self. The USA has been good to me.
ReplyDeleteOh and if only some people could realize what old grudges and arguments will do in the long run, twould be so nice.. I never in our younger loving family thought there would ever be such a thing, but ONE has come up.
BUT it is a wonderful season coming up, and hopefully life will be joyful like the season. Love you lady!
Thank you so much Jack, I hope you and Sherry enjoy the days ahead too. I just see the way bad feelings usually tears down the one carrying that load around. Gee I am not going to waste my energy doing that!! Praying you have a great winter and a safe healthy one. Blessings
DeleteWish you a happy Thanksgiving and a joyful Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThank you sweet friend. I wish the same for all of us. Enjoy the family times. Blessings to you, xoxo
DeleteEnjoyed your post. Yes, holding a grudge can sure make for sadness in a family. The decorated fence is so pretty. I haven't started any decorating yet, except for the fall things in my old cupboard. Guess I will change that after Thanksgiving. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I love seeing your decorations. Enjoy the beautiful holidays. Blessings, xoxo,
DeleteI haven't decorated for years..Certainly not a tree...maybe a few little things sitting atound and a wreath..That's about it!! Nobody sees it but me inside..I hoe you enjoy your Thanksgiving and Christmas with your family ..hugs
ReplyDeleteThank you Missy. I am never going to have a big tree again. Too much for just me as you said. But a wreath and a few little tabletop decorations is good enough. Bless you, xoxo
DeleteHi, Susie! So glad I checked Blogger today! I have fallen way behind on keeping up. No Christmas decor here yet, though probably after Thanksgiving I’ll find the motivation. The boughs/bows on white fencing look very festive! Wishing you a happy Thanksgiving with your family!
ReplyDeleteHi Nellie, I thought of you so often during those scary weather days. So glad you are doing fine. I love reading blogs and commenting at times. But have to make an effort to post one myself. I love our big blog family and miss so many of them. Blessings for a great holiday season. xoxo
DeleteIt's nice to see you posting, Susie. I end you warm wishes for a lovely holiday season. I can't believe we're there already!
ReplyDeleteOh my friend it seems that it was a hot dry summer and now it's winter. My calendar has the same amount of days I am sure...but my clock is running fast.. LOL Wish you a wonderful season. Blessings, xoxo
DeleteThose blow mold snowman are very expensive now. How nice that everyone donates items to decorate. Janice
ReplyDeleteFunny how everything old can seem new again. I know a house that does their Christmas lawn art in all those old things. Love it better that fan things. Blessings , xoxo
DeleteAwwww, Susie!! It's always so good to hear from you, and I always take a good feeling away from that gift. It's lovely to have our sweet ones around us for the holidays, and I know your gatherings will be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAnd your post had some of almost everything that is Christmas, Sharing With, Helping Out, Getting Together, Brightening the World, Letting Go, and just finding within ourselves that inner Light to share. I wish you well and warm and so, so happy for this Blessed Season. r
Thank you so much Racheld, I love the happy days of Thanksgiving and Christmas season. Some times it seems people get rushed or feel put out and forget to be happy. I am going to pray we all can enjoy this wonderful time of the year. Bless you and yours, xoxo
DeleteMerry Christmas. When I taught (started in later years), it was difficult to difficult. My family came every other T'giving and every other C'mas...So I had to be ready to do C'mas on T'giving weekend some years. I was not rushing the season; I was enjoying time with my family without rushing...they live in Greenwood (I moved to Florida near this family from Greenwood/Indy)...I have moved 34 times, and everywhere I go, people have such opinions about the holidays and when to do what. Why not enjoy T'giving with the splendour of Christmas all around us? Sounds like a plan to me.
DeletePrayers dear girl. My son and family did the whole T'giving Organic meal for us...yum....daughter arrived that night, and we fixed a couple easy dishes for us. Christmas, his family will do the same...she will be with her family in Greenwood/Indy...we have worked it out for 30 years...and I never mind what others do. Prayers
Susie, I keep wanting to ask you WHY do you like the Mockingbird book? I taught it when I taught middle school one year before I taught high school and university. I ask everyone about this/ No reason. Just curious.
DeleteWhen I was little, we had no books at our house. A bible and new testament. When my mother divorce my father , her lawyer 's wife became our guardian angel. She gave me that book and it has always been special to me. Mrs. Russell also taught me man things . Always took me to church and church camp. I learn about the bible, social skills, and even how to swim at camp. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
Deletethat was to read many things, lol
DeleteMerry Christmas and Happy New Year. Love your blog. Okay, I understand about the book. I remember the bookmobile and this little girl carrying bags of books home. I still read like that.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good holiday season. This is a difficult time for some of us...however, that being said, there is also joy. hope you decide to write more in the next year and keep us updated. My daughter flies down from Indy every few weeks and stays weeks. I am going up again this year. In the spring, and we will go to Ohio to friends and to WV to visit...take care my friend. Prayers.
