I really don't have the energy or the desire to go out in this winter weather. Pat wonders why we don't get *Cabin Fever* like when at the camp in the U.P.

I am comfortable in our home and I have plenty of things to do, as a matter of fact, far too many things that need to be done.
A while back I purchased a shredder so I could safely get rid of years of accumulated paper. I get the urge to go through papers each week that I watch a disturbing show called Hoarders. I don't have junk piled to the ceiling but I do have bins full of paper. I need to look at each paper to be sure it isn't something I feel like I need to save, I have mentioned before that I have papers and photos from my Mothers since she died back in 1989. It's time I decide to start shredding stuff with social security numbers.
I must say, some things are so very worth saving!
I have my Mothers autograph book from 1937 when she was 15 years old, friends would sign it with poems that I do remember but I really need to find out where the heck these poems originally came from

Tears, Smiles, Seth & Hope,


Aren't they just so cute? (The babies I Mean) Today was Alicia's Baby shower and everyone showed up. It was a great visit, hard to keep up with everyone, tons of wonderful gifts. Brought home all the gifts and Matt organized, down sized the boxes so they could get the stuff home. Dad and I will go visit them soon and bring the larger things like highchair, swing, bouncy seat and what ever else Alicia can't fit into her car. It was a long day

My Old time Hero, Olive Oyl


"Why Am I So Beautiful?" from "Morning, Noon and Nightclub" (1937) ["Miss Olivita"]

Why am I so beautiful? Why do all the fellers fall for me?
Why am I so beautiful? Why do all the women envy me?

Can it be my grace or my form divine?
Can it be my face or these pretty feet of mine?

Why am I so beautiful? Why O why O me O me O my!

Laid back Christmas

Shy little Katelyn has suddenly warmed up, I think Pre-school has done her wonders. She was so very happy and super friendly with everyone.
Just the kids opening their gifts, Little Josh was so interested in the first gift that he opened, he just didn't care about the others. Katelyn opened the others for him.
We ate a big meal, chit chatted a bit then were home by 10:30 or so. Rested up for the night and then went to Polly's for breakfast on Christmas day, Then home by 3:00 and cooked a turkey dinner to share with Matt and Alicia. A pretty laid back Holiday, just like I wanted.
