Bells,

Hark how the bells, sweet silver bell, all seem to say throw cares away

Christmas is here bringing good cheer to young and old meek and the bold,

Ding dong ding dong that is their song with joyful ring all caroling.

One seems to hear words of good cheer filling the air

Oh how they pound raising the sound Oer hill and dale telling their tale

Gaily they sing while people sing songs of good cheer Christmas is here

Merry merry merry merry Christmas

Marry merry merry merry Christmas

On on they send on without end their joyful tune to every home

Hark how the bells sweet silver bells all seem to say throw cares away.

Christmas is here bringing good cheer to young and old meek and the bold

Ding dong ding dong that is their song

with joyful ring all caroling

One words of good cheer from everywhere filling the air

Oh how they pound raising the sound Oer hill and dale telling their tale

Gaily they ring while people sing songs of good cheer Christmas is here.

Merry merry merry merry Christmas

Merry merry merry merry Christmas

On on they send on without end their joyful tone to every home.

On on they send their joyful tone to every home.s

My bell is gold but it means the same.

Hurrah, I finished my shopping today I think. I had a headache by the time I was done. I went to Subway, had a sandwich and a coke and just stared into space for a while before I came home.

I have to be in Couer D'Alene by 10 in the morning. Hope the fog has lifted some.

If you are in the area, come to Airway Heights to get gas. They are having a gas war out here. The Indian station drops and all the other stations do too, they drop some more and the circle is on. It should be close to 3.10 by tomorrow I would imagine.

Blessings

Bells

Here Comes Santa Claus

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, Right down Santa Claus Lane

Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer pullin' on the reins

Bells are ringing', children singin' all is merry and bright

Hang your stockings and say your prayers "cause Santa Claus comes tonight!

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus right down Santa Claus lane

He's got a bag that's filled with toys for boys and girls again

Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle, oh what a beautiful sight

So jump in bed and cover your head 'cause Santa Claus comes tonight!

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus Lane

he doesn't care if you're rich or poor he loves you just the same

Santa Clause knows we're all God's children that makes everything right

So fill your hearts with Christmas cheer 'cause Santa Claus comes tonight!

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus Lane

He'll come around when the chimes ring out that its Christmas morn again

Peace on earth will come to all if we just follow the light

So lets give thanks to the Lord above that Santa Claus comes tonight.

Nothing too exciting here today. Just normal stuff. I need to go do the last of my shopping. Its getting closer and closer. Next year I am shopping on the Internet. I don't mind the crowds but this year for some reason I can't get into it so much.

Does anyone know of a well broke horse, mare preferably, not over 15 hands, must load well and not herd bound, for sale. Its for a child that has outgrown her pony. Let me know please. It should be somewhere around the Spokane area.

Blessings to you all,

Deck the Halls

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la, la la la la

Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la, la la la la la

Don we now our gay apparel, fa la la la la, la la la

Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, fa la la la la, la la la la

See the blazing Yule before us, fa la la la la, la la la la

Strike the harp and join the chorus, fa la la la la, la la la la

Follow me in merry measure, fa la la la la, la la la la

While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la, la la la la

Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la la, la la la la

Hail the new ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la, la la la la

Sing we joyous, all together Fa la la la la, la la la la

Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la, la la la la

So the tree is finished and everything that will be decorated is. Bob is not a "hang the outside lights" kind of guy. Oh well, Maybe next year I will be able to do it again.

I have a chicken in the oven and potatoes ready to turn on, on the stove so when Bob finishes the chores, dinner will be ready. A little later than I wish but that is how it happens somehow.

Steve started on the house next door that we bought. Several places need new floors. He worked on the master bathroom today. Teen Challenge is coming with their truck on Saturday morning to pick up the furniture that no one seems to want.Then we can get the carpet cleaned. THEN the kids can move in. They will have to let Steve work on the kitchen and dining room floor around them. They have to be out of their apartment by the first.

Nothing very exciting around here today. Just ordinary stuff.

Blessings,

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh

Oer the fields we go laughing all the way

Bells on Bob tails ring Making spirits bright

What fun it is to laugh and sing a sleighing song tonight

A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride

And soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated by my side

The horse was lean and lank Misfortune seemed his lot

We got into a drifted bank and then we got upsot.

OHHHHH jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh

Jingle bells jungle bells jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.

Of course that picture is not this winter, we have not had snow yet. I am not complaining mind you, I am not but I sure did have fun the winter that was taken. More fog and cold today.

I did not sleep much last night so took a couple of little naps today. Mailed the package to Tennessee and will have my cards finished before I went to bed. I bought the stamps so they will be ready to go in the morning.

Putting vitamin E oil on my hand has been working miracles. It is softer and healing over. I hope Dr. Horn does not object.

I know for some the holidays are not the most joyful of the year and I understand that, specifically my sister and her family that are facing cancer in my brother in law. That hangs over all of us but I still love Christmas.

Blessings

12 Days of Christmas

So on the 12th. day of Christmas I have Twelve (and I counted again) chocolate bells. And yes I will probably eat them all.
This evening Bob and went in to Sheya's Winter Concert. It is so hard not to laugh at the first year band and orchestra. The choir sounded wonderful though. Sheya loves to sing.

Our little Sheya Bug singing away. She was so glad we came. Her theory is, her brothers both being musicians are going to play and she will sing and they will be the Williams Trio. So keep your ears tuned for this up and coming group. I don't know what the boys think of her brain storm though.

I got quite a bit accomplished today, all in the house. The scabbing on my hand is about gone and when it is I can go pet my horse. No taking a hold of a rope or anything but it will be good to get my hands on her and give her a big hug. My hand is still sore but he said 6 weeks and I guess he knew what he was talking about. (Chuckle)

Life keeps rolling on towards Christmas. I must get my sisters package in the mail and my cards too. This is the slowest I have every been.

Peace on earth,

Blessings

Yesterday

Be back later, just wanted to tell you I could too count. That is 10 ice cubes. Obviously I could not count last night. Sigh.
