It is always a sad time when I start to take my Christmas decorations down and store them away for another year. You never know when or who may not be here next year, and you never know it might be me. A lot could happen before time to pull the decorations out another time. The house looks so dra...

Today is a very windy day here in the beautiful foothills of the upstate of South Carolina. As a matter of fact, we are about to be blown away. It is supposed to get much colder tonight, so please if you do go out bundle up. Tomorrow we will have less wind, but it will still be colder. Sounds lik...

Today was another beautiful day in my neighborhood. I worked outside in my yard most of the day. Racking leaves and rideing the John Deer, which is one of my favorite things to do.

As of this post I will have reached another goal on the Active Rain website.

Tonight we had our three year old grand-daughters birthday party. It was just close family, we had sandwiches, chips, drinks and of course birthday cake. She is a real Mickey Mouse fan so her cake was Mickey Mouse, and was quite tastey for a store bought cake. She also got a lot of nice gifts, it...

Today was a beautiful winter day. It was a little bit crisp early this morning, but the bright sunshine warmed everything up real nice by noon or early afternoon. We have had some much needed rain the last few days so I guess that made it a most beautiful day. I have a feeling we will 'pay' for t...

Today we recieved news of the passing of a dear friend. We did not know he was that sick, but I guess he was much sicker than anyone thought. He was a great cook and loved to prepare dinners for his family and friends, he loved golf but had not been able to play in a while. He will be greatly mis...

Tomorrow will be our youngest grand-daughters third birthday, and we will have a party for her tomorrow night for the family and a few close friends. She loves Mickey Mouse and Dora, so most of what I have got for her is one or the other. It is hadr to buy birthday so close after Christmas, but w...

One of the great joys of Christmas is the good food we have for the holidays. But it seems this year I have over-ate every single day since before Thanksgiving. I am going to have to hit the pavement soon to try to walk off some unwanted pounds. I know this will be hard but this fat has got yo go.
