I can remember getting to go see Santa how about you? She has outfits for every thing. That guy is going to need a walk in closet.
Heres one that will put a smile on your face.
All dressed up for Santa
Awww, isn't he cute! At that age they're usually mesmerized by the lights. It's such fun watching their wonderment over the holidays.
I remember the first year I didn't believe in Santa. Dad took us to Macy's because his friend from work was playing Santa there. There were lots of kids lined up with my brother and I on the ramp to sit on Santa's lap and I was very bored. Suddenly Santa stopped and called to us by name, telling us to move on up the ramp! Wow! How did he know who we were?? Maybe he really is real!! Of course Dad was standing right by us so Santa would know who we were. That was certainly a memorable year for us!
Nah, we're age enhanced
(Looking for my enhancements)
Ah, Christmas memories and Santa. I have probably already mentioned this before, however, it is still a happy memory for me. When Nancy was stationed at Orange, TX we were active in the little community (Deweyville, TX) we lived in. I was a volunteer firefighter and EMT and Nancy was also an EMT and on the board of directors for the volunteer ambulance service. Anyway, I had played Santa for the Reserve Center Christmas party and still had the costume. One of our friends, fellow EMTs, were boarding a pony their neighbor had bought for their daughters Christmas present. They were going to walk the pony over Christmas morning. This was an opportunity I could not pass up. So Christmas morning I dressed up as Santa and all of us walked over with the pony. I'm sure that little 5-year-old girl has a lifetime memory of her pony and Santa. Come to find out their neighbor was the Chief of our local volunteer fire department. He and his wife were extremely appreciative of the gesture.
Has anyone talked to Iffy. I don't recall seeing him very much lately. Maybe this new doc who took an interest in Patti is helping. I hope so. It was 11 here this morning. I read that there is supposed to be a gigantic storm going to hit most of the US in the next few days. Guess that shoots some big holes in the theory there is no climate change.
I wish they would stop putting this Join ASPCA commercial on tv. It makes me feel so bad, I hate it it's bad enough knowing there are some really screwed up people out there with their treatment of animals, who should be lined up and shot but I think that is too good for them, I think they should be chained and live outside in, if they are lucky a cage. I can't even express how much I HATE people like this. they belong in cages or better gone. It should carry a much higher penalty then what they get,
My Rant for the day, if I never see that commercial again it would be too soon. I think they should declare open season on these people.

My best guess is 50,000 books read (many of them more than once or twice) in my lifetime. But then I'm only 75, so I can read a bunch more if I keep at it..
So many books! So little time!! One of the things we ladies looked forward to all year was our annual trek to a house in Stone Harbor for a long weekend. Mostly what we did was read. It was great! Of course we were escaping from jobs and house work etc so we're not as desperate for the escape now that we're retired, but what fond memories we have of lounging around all day with good books.
What a great memory day you created for her - and you!!
I don't know how true it is, but I've heard from a couple different sources that a large portion of money donated to the ASPCA goes to management and it's better to donate to directly to shelters. I agree with you that people deserve a much higher penalty for abusing animals. When those commercials come on I have to mute the sound and look away.
So nice of you to do that. That little girl will always remember that.
Jerry mu hubs was a volunteer firefighter and assistant chief in charge of safetywhen I met him and for many years after we were married. Those were the days of "plectrons"…that's how the firefighters were notified to report to the firehouse. And you were either an EMT or a firefighter…at least in Ohio.
I will never forget a few weeks after we were dating and we were at his house when the plectron went off. I was stunned at how fast hubs dashed out of the door. No kiss no goodbye…poof he was GONE!!!And this is a man who normally is very laid back.

Just stick it in there. You can debone first if you want. I like the garlic & herb ones from Walmart. After deboning I slow boil the carcass & make sure to get alk the jiuces from the container in with the carcass. It makes a fantastic soup base!
Thought I would share something my sister shared with me. She & her husband are on the board of directors for the Pasadena Strawberry Festival. Sister been involved with the Festival for about 18 years now. Directors choose the vendors every year. Old Plantation Soups & Dips is one she invites every year. Their kits foral soup are outstanding. I haven't had many of them but she's had most of them. Mom & I are big on homemade soups, stews, & casseroles. I finally placed an order & got several. All you add is the meats & usually a can of tomatoes or tamato sauce & let it simmer till done. These are good for slow cookers or Insta-pots, too. You can use rotisserie chickens or those bags of frozen grilled chicken. The chili has beans, & the gumbo is fantastic!. I really like them. Google Old Plantation Soup. The are 9.95 each, but all the herbs & spices, & beans or rice are there so it works out ok. For me, having all the herbs & spices already measured & together is great since I can't stand very long. I consider them worth it since they make enough for several meals & I can always freeze some. Add cornbread, biscuits, or french bread & you have major comfort food!
I made a pot of the Carroll Shelby's Chili yesterday & it didn't taste right. [emoji13] Finally remembered I'd forgotton to add the salt! I forgot that they don't put the little packet of salt in the kit anymore so I have to add it myself. [emoji39]
