Look at this beautiful sky. This is what the weather was like yesterday. Clear sunny skies most of the day. This would be the best time to put up Christmas lights and decorations outside. I used to do lights, but not any more. I usually will do things that can last as winter decorations well after Christmas.
A short trip to town yesterday. I got a lot of things done this weekend. While at the grocery, a friend asked me to come to her florist shop and get a form about being a bell ringer for the salvation army. I will go talk with her about this. I would love to do that a few times , to help out....but I may have to have a chair near by . I have a rough time standing for long periods. Especially on concrete walks. It might work out that I could have a chair and still be a bell ringer.
Enjoy this great day. XO
I hope you are able to be a bell ringer for the Salvation Army! The Salvation Army was started in England, you know, it has a very interesting history.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your blue skies!
Kay, I do love the SA...they are a great organization...helping the needy. xoxo,Susie
DeleteBeautiful skies yesterday, Susie. I hope it works out for you to be a bell ringer. God bless your day.
ReplyDeleteMildred, I hope I can ring the bells once. It would be such a good thing, for me too. I'd love to be more involved at holiday time. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteNo sunshine here today, though the temperature is much warmer! Have a blessed day! xo Nellie
ReplyDeleteIt's been cloudy all day here. But at 6 o"clock...the sky was clear. It's suppose to rain later..but right it feels wonderful temperature wise. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteIt sounds good! That is interesting building.
ReplyDeleteThe building is our courthouse. I love taking photos of it. I hope you had a great weekend. xoxo,Susie
DeleteWell it's warm but cloudy here. The bell ringers are about here as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the building? A city hall?
Boston Boy, I laughed at your weather report with a promise of sports after. That building is our courthouse. It has the court of course, family health offices, tax office, a small museum on the first floor. I love that old building. Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteGood Morning, We have a cloudy day so far after yesterday when it got to 61 degrees. Almost a 40 degree drop today. My youngest grandson is going to ring the bell. He enjoys doing it. They are inside at our mall. I have enjoyed catching up with you this morning. Have a wonderful day. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend Shirley
ReplyDeleteShirley, Those big temperature drops are hard to take. I hate to be chilled to the bone. That is great that your g.son is going to be a bell ringer. xoxo,Susie
DeleteHow sweet and generous of you to be a bell ringer this season. Great cause. You know what they say every time a bell rings and angel gets her wings. You will definitely get your wings for helping and being an angel for the Salvation Army.
ReplyDeleteKris
Kris, I am going to try it at least once. I love the SA , they are so good to the needy, especially at holiday time. xoxo,Susie
DeleteI love the bright blue skies in the winter!
ReplyDeleteI remember the year my daughter and a friend volunteered as a bell ringer for the SA.
Mary Alice
That was sweet of your daughter and her friend. Blue skies in winter are so welcome. xoxo,Susie
DeleteIt's a beautiful and very warm and windy day here. Our neighbor is trying to take up leaves very unsuccessfully! I always enjoy seeing the Salvations Army bell ringers outside the stores and like giving to them. A great organization.
ReplyDeleteNonnie, The best way to gather leaves is to rake into small piles and use you wheel barrow to get them ...or rake onto a tarp and drag to each pile. Some times those noisy leaf blowers take too long. I think the SA is a great organization for helping the needy. xoxo,Susie
DeleteThat is a beautiful sky! And good for you being a bell ringer!
ReplyDeleteSusan
Susan, I sure would like to try it once. :) Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteYes, it's time to put up the lights but it's windy here today..will wait until it quits blowing. Pulling out tubs of decorations...
ReplyDeletejust not much in the mood.
Bj, It seems when we get good temps..the wind is blowing. I know what you are saying about taking a bit of time to relax. I have make myself get my tubs of decorations out. LOL. Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteBe sure to make a picture for us if you do the bell ringer!
ReplyDeletePeggy, I will . I am hoping I can do it. My ankles do not allow me to stand for long periods of time. A couple hours and I am done. LOL. Hope you are doing well. xoxo,Susie
DeleteSusie,
ReplyDeleteI think that's great that you want to spend some time helping out with the Salvation Army. That's too bad that you don't put the lights up anymore. You know, for the last few years I didn't have them up either, but I couldn't wait to put them up this year at my new place.
It's Christmas time, Susie! My favorite time of year.
love,
~Sheri
Sheri, I think our lights took a beating out here in farmland with the wind. I have a snowman that lights up for the porch. Enjoy your lights once you get them up. I used to turn our on and drive away and then drive back to see how they looked. LOL. I hope I will be able to help bell ring one day , at least. xoxo,Susie
DeleteLouis Dean LOVES the Salvation Army! They helped his family when he was a littlte boy. HE should find out how to be a bell ringer, too!! We always put something in teh kettle every single time we see one. I admire you for doing this. We don't put up any lights that require a ladder......that's a good rule!!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I bet LD would be so pleasant they would want him to help ring those bells. I agree about the ladder stuff. Safer. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
