Last thing that made you smile?

[dragnlaw]

My latest big smile (aside from reading all these posts) is this morning it was raining sideways, huge drops and very warm but the dog refused to go out. Fed her and then when the wind dropped out she went, squatted and dashed back in. I got my coffee and decided the geese could wait a bit.
Suddenly noticed it was just wind and no rain! Strolled out to do the geese and it looked like there might even be some sun soon. Decided I might even do some work outside later but came back in to finish my coffee.

And the sky just opened up and dumped...

... as I sit here with my coffee, smiling and wondering at the kindness of Mother Nature to let me get back in the house.

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man!

I was doing some paper shuffling, so I decided to put Morgan James on Youtube. The laptop was off to the side, but I could still see what was going on - kinda. Well, this video started out simple enough - music, singing, a little movement off to my left. All understandable for a music video. But, before the first minute was up, I was watching this video with complete attention. Why? The guy with the tambourine completely steals the show! What a riot.

My SIL gave me a ham bone loaded with meat. I put it in the freezer for now but am going to make a big pot of bean soup soon.

I make pea soup when I get my hands on a ham bone. When my son makes it, he puts in carrots and other veggies. I like mine plain.

Mmmm, ham bone pea soup.

I got good news today, but my wife is freaking out. We have 7 relatives coming over to stay for 2 nights starting on Christmas Eve., and upwards from 6 to 12 more coming over just for Christmas dinner.

Well, my wife was an only child and has loved being a part of a big family, so here ya go.

I completely missed this before! Love it!

We saw them in concert recently and there was a tap dancer as part of the show. He had the same kind of energy and mannerisms the tambourine man did in this video, so that makes me wonder if he does that in concert. Some of the videos have tap dancers off to the side, too.

If they come anywhere near you, I would definitely recommend getting tickets. It was a great show.

Glad you enjoyed their show, GG. We're cheap, so I'll just keep watching stuff on Youtube.

We decided to take some state and U.S. routes on the way home from Allentown, PA on Wednesday. A nice diversion from so much high-speed, crazy driver interstate driving. We happened upon a small village in New York by the name of Warwick - a charming town filled with well-kept old homes, lots of shops, and many yummy-smelling restaurants. We strolled the streets for about two hours, did a little shopping - basically played tourists for a little while. It's almost 200 miles from our house, though, so I guess I won't just pop over there for a little window (or other) shopping on a whim.

Every time I read these posts I am smiling or grinning... thanks all!

I live just southwest of Warwick. Great little town. That's where we go apple picking and horseback riding, and there's some good plant nurseries there. My wife loves the quaint town center as well.

I'm smiling because for a great part of today our sweet kitty, Bella, has made it her duty to love, love, love me. She's an angel and also takes expert care of our now almost-elderly Sally whom I brought with me when I left the house Buck and I shared after Glenn and I married.

Bella is a bunting and kissing little girl and always seems to know when we need extra attention.

She's a lovely little girl. Not the best picture but it shows her in one of her favorite places...on the kitchen floor near the table at breakfast. She gets her "own" special treats at breakfast time.

Teddy knows I am have not been feeling well lately. How, I have no idea. But today for the first time ever in his eight years, he jumped up on my bed and laid down at by feet. And he stayed there. I was sleeping at the time and didn't even know he was there. Scott told me that he had been there for at least an hour. He will jump up for his scratchies, but not to stay. This is the first time he has ever done something like this. Does he know something I don't?

What a sweetheart [emoji813] We have a loving Bella, too. She likes to flex her pawsies when she gets her belly rubs

Sweet kitties Katie and GG. I miss having a kitty, but I am not going to move another one.

Geez, we could have had lunch together. I don't know how far our one sandwich would have gone, but it would have all worked out.

Our neighbors from our last house were two of the carolers at the airport today. They participated in United Airlines "Fantasy Flight" for sick children. They're the two "elves" in the middle - I hope they're the ones singing on key!

All done Christmas shopping. I had to buy for 20 people, not just one gift per person but several. I also got done with the three family members that have birthdays the week of Christmas. Don't get me wrong, I loved being able to do it.

 

[Addie]

I got great news a couple of days ago. Two of the ulcers on my legs are healed. And I now have a wound specialist nurse taking care of me. YEA!

I too have a Christmas present from Santa 55 years ago. I was in the middle of cooking dinner for a houseful of guests. Santa decided to drop off Pirate in the middle of all of the confusion. Pirate was born at home. Dinner was only about 15 minutes late.

 

[dragnlaw]

That\s cute Addie. Congrats on your Christmas present 55 years ago!

and great news on your legs too!
