I'm so glad she is OK and focus on that.

Take a bit of time today to think of at least 10 things to be thankful. I bet you can. :D

Glad she is OK!

What was the phone call about?

It was a saturday I placed the order - and the call came about 5 minutes after that. To the effect that their shipping was closed at that time, and my order would be shipped as soon as possible. Took me completely by surprise, as I figured it wouldn't ship until the following monday, anyway. (It did. And got email that it did. Got to regional PO too late to get to my local one for wednesday delivery, so expect it to arrive tomorrow.)

Not to mention I drove 120 miles to get it. Which proves it!
((((((((rattytat))))))))) I been missin you girl! Glad to see all is ok. Now......if you can drive 120 miles to go get a fruitcake, you can drive to Florida if ya don't wanna fly!! hehehe and was that another 120 miles back home? Or 60 each way?

Got up this morning at 6 AM and it was already 77°. Gonna be a scorcher here in South Florida.
Earlier this week they said it would be 81 today. Now it's 48. Got a cold spell along with the rain that is supposed to start tomorrow. We're under a flash flood watch through the weekend

So, I have just one thing to say to all. If you are feeling down today - find a child (call one on the phone) and say Merry Christmas to them or ask them what Santa brought them. Their energy might and I do say - just might restore a little bit in you today and you may also remember and retain the joys you used to once enjoy...
so excellently put!!

My Grand-niece snuck out to be with her boyfriend this week. Breaks in his truck locked up. She was NOT wearing a seatbelt. Glass in face and chin and neck. She could have been disabled or even dead. I'm so glad she is OK and focus on that.
oh my, so glad she wasn't seriously injured. Hard way to learn a lesson. Great advice about finding things to be thankful for. That changed my life many years ago!

Matt, I too appreciate you showing us the picture of Doree and her mama. That's a huge trust you place in us to share something so personal. God knows exactly who she is, but it's nice to be able to visualize who I'm praying for. I could feel the love in it as it brought back memories of me feeding my Daddy.

Merry Christmas to all my porch family!!

Good Christmas Morning, Porchers!! My Christmas joy comes from just being home.

Last night for the first time in 8 years, I was able to attend the family annual Christmas Eve dinner. Every year it used to be at my father's house, but now that he and my step mom are getting up in age, we do it at her youngest son's home.

It was fairly quiet and low key as a lot of changes have taken place in 8 years. Children grow up. Others move away. Still, I needed to see my father and step mom.

There was plenty of shrimp and crab gumbo, boudin, and potato salad. And, of course, my step-mom's famous pecan cake. I was tired, but I was at peace.

Although it's certainly no consolation, I predict that your 2015 Christmas Story will be told for many years to come .. ;) .. oh, the memories ... ;) .. of course, you could embellish it to say "Elves mugged me" .. or, "I had to wrestle someone at Walmart for that last Stormtrooper figure " .. ;)

"Elves mugged me after I had to wrestle someone at Walmart for that last Stormtrooper figure and as I walked back to the car, I got run over by a reindeer " .. ;)

Take it from there .. ;)
