IT'S TRUE.....

Yes, I'm still around.
And I've missed being here.
And I plan to be here more .

Got back from my MOST EXCELLENT ADVENTURE last week. Since then I've survived the jet lag, helped my dad get things straightened around...again, got back into the work routine, been reminded what COLD really is, dealt with network/Modem woes, started to unpacked ( guess I thought if I didn't, I'd still be gone) felt sad that I wasn't vacationing anymore...(I miss ya PJ...) had Turkey dinner with my family,  and GOT ME A LAPTOP! Now I just need to get it figured out :)

Guess this post is mostly to let you know I'll slowly get back blogging. I have some fun things to share about my adventure! I know you'll all say THEN DO IT! And I will... soon as I get unpacked (hehe), take time to be with my daughters little family before they all move to Colorado, help my friend Linda with her booth at the Boutique I started a few years ago (someone else took it over for me so it could continue..smile), try to do a little housework.. and laundry, send some special little cards to some very special people, make the bed :(  ,  hope the modem woes are fixed so I can figure out the laptop, visit much neglected blog friends again and catch up on some zzzzz's......among other things.

Oh, and here's something to keep you entertained for a bit. Makes my wimpy little string of lights look ....wimpy :)

But I'm glad someone has the talent to keep us dazzled.

Tis the season :)

Life's full a CHANGES....

A SILLY TURKEY DAY....

Well, I had my Alphabapost all done and ready for this week, then heard the rumor we have the day off!  So......

How about some Turkey Day giggles anyway !

And who could start this off any better than Maxine...

Here's one to try....

A man in Florida, in his 80s, calls his son in New York one November day.

The father says to the son, “I hate to tell you, but we’ve got some troubles here in the house. Your mother and I can’t stand each other anymore, and we’re getting a divorce. I’ve had it! I want to live out the rest of my years in peace. I’m telling you now, so you and your sister shouldn’t go into shock later when I move out.”

He hangs up, and the son immediately calls his sister in the Hamptons and tells her the news.

The sister says, “I’ll handle this.”

She calls Florida and says to her father, “Don’t do ANYTHING till we get there! We’ll be there Wednesday night.”

The father agrees, “All right.”

The old man hangs up the phone and hollers to his wife, “Okay, they’re coming for Thanksgiving. Now, what are we going to tell them for Christmas?”


And this one....

A few days before Thanksgiving, a man gets a talking parrot from his friend. He takes the parrot home and puts it in his living room.

But every time the man goes near the living room, he hears the parrot shouting insults at him. In desperation, he puts the parrot in the freezer.

After a few minutes, the insults stop. Thinking he might have killed the parrot, he takes it out of the freezer. The parrot is still alive, but it is shivering.

It stammers, "I'm s-sorry for b-b-being s-so rude. P-p-please forgive m-me."

So the man forgives him. After a while the parrot asks, "What exactly did the turkey do?"



How 'bout a few more...

hehehe...

  Holacalhatchi  "H" posts, Head on over to Alphabe-Thursday at Jenny's place

Life's Full of CHANGES....

BYE BYE :)

It's snowing....but I'm still going.

First I want to share something awesome.

It's about friends...
And how you meet...
And what you share...
And who you are...

Some quotes and some pictures...

And a most EXCELLENT ADVENTURE!

I know you'll relate to them...

 

We need old friends to help us grow old

and new friends to help us stay young.

I have had many people in my life who I've called friend. Some I've known since childhood. Some I became very close to. Others, not so close. But still a friend.

But have you ever had a friend without meeting them face to face? Someone you met through words. Someone who you just knew from the start was going to be a special person in your life. Who makes you feel you've known them always...

 Someone who makes you laugh out loud..even when you're alone..

Someone who makes you giggle at the silliest of thoughts.

Someone you feel you can hug in your heart.

Someone who is miles away....


And yet......

Let me share my latest surprise....

Tomorrow I'm getting on an airplane headed east. 

To Delaware.

To see.....

PJ!

Most of you who follow my blogs know who she is. If you haven't been to her blog yet, please click HERE, take a minute and visit. 

You'll be hooked :)

She's funny, very smart and full of sass.

She's the one I feel I've known always....

And I can't wait to finally give her a hug.

So, this is my EXCELLENT ADVENTURE of a lifetime!

I'm going to stay at PJ's for a few days, then on to Boston to stay with a cousin for a few more. I can't wait to see the Atlantic Ocean, go to an NBA game and  enjoy whatever else happens.

But the best part will be just hangin out with my new friend...

who I believe I've known always.

So she's my old friend too...

I'll let you know how my adventure was when I get back. 

And of course, my blogging will have to wait....

See ya Yesterday...one Tomorrow at a Time.

MAXINE MONDAY...

DEAR ME MONDAY...

DEAR ME...

Well, the day after tomorrow you'll be gone.

On the most amazing November of your life.

I have a most excellent friend coming to visit from Utah this coming week, so I will not be making blog rounds until Tuesday, 11/16...and I will be ditching Saturday Centus on the 13th.

So now, if someone reads that blog and knows who it is...

They know you're headed for THE MOST EXCELLENT ADVENTURE!

Hard to believe it's going to happen.

And you'll share the whole story that morning.

No wait...

You'll share the START of the story :)



Someone needs to pinch me.....

LOVE,
ME










See ya Yesterday, one Tomorrow at a Time...

CUSSIN IN CHURCH....

I believe God has a sense of humor...

So some Sunday's if you visit here,

you'll giggle along with us...



Cussing in Church

 A Crusty old man walks into the local Baptist Church and says to the
secretary, "I would like to join this damn church."

The astonished woman replies, "I beg your pardon, sir. I must have
 misunderstood you... What did you say?"

 "Listen up, damn it. I said I want to join this damn church!"

"I'm very sorry sir, but that kind of language is not tolerated in this
 church."

 The secretary leaves her desk and goes into the pastor's study to inform him
of her situation. The pastor agrees that the secretary does not have to listen
to that foul language.

 They both return to her office, and the pastor asks the old geezer, "Sir, what
 seems to be the problem here?"

 "There is no damn problem," the man says. "I just won $200 million bucks in
 the damn lottery and I want to join this damn church to get rid of some of
 this damn money. "

 "I see," said the pastor. "And is this bitch giving you a hard time?"

Life's full of CHANGES...

SOMETHING FOR A SUNDAY....

From Audrey Hepburn...

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.










See ya Yesterday....

SATURDAY CENTUS...

I'm joining in this weeks Centus hosted by
Jenny Matlock   

Visit her to see how others formed a short story with this weeks prompt using a scant 100 words. Prompt is purple






My eyes opened slowly and scanned the room. Memories started a slow waltz through my mind. I just couldn't wrap my head around this day.

Unbelievable to say the least. Would have never thought it could happen. Some people who knew me agreed it was quite unlikely. But it did. And life could never be as it was the day before.

What now? How can I explain this to anyone? How did it happen?

I'll just stay under the shelter of this warm quilt. No need to wonder how or why. Nothing I can do but remember It was the 11th Anniversary of my 49th birthday...

Keep Smilin (o:

FLY ME AWAY...

Ok things are back to working here, on with life...

And little snippets of my upcoming trip :)
No one has guessed yet....

Have you heard the old saying " Go West young man"?

Well, I'm saying "Head East old woman" !

And what is it I'm doing when I get there?

Hmmm, something I never thought I'd do...ever.



Has something to do with water and food, animals and friends.

Words in songs, nicknames, stories and hanging out.

Then on to tall men, music, history and family.

And I'm sure many surprises in between....

Have I got your interest?

Have I confused you?

Have I.......


Think of the stories I can tell when I get back...

And pictures that I'll share.

And eyes that will open with a WOW when you see them.

This is fun :)

More soon....








See ya Yesterday....
