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.

Day 11

On the 11th. day of Christmas I bring you ELEVEN ice cubes ready to go into my glass of lemonade.

I am glad I posted early yesterday or it would not have gotten done. We had a wonderful time at our Christmas party at Marilyn and Dave's beautiful home. There were 13 of us. A new face and Angela and her dad Wayne and Pat came with Mary. It was fun. We had a wonderful dinner of tacos and all the stuff that went with them that folks brought for potluck. I think every one ate their capacity. The gift exchange was wonderful and everyone took home a nice gift. I think the most glad was Alexa. She got something she had been wanting for a long time. I got homemade jam and pumpkin bread and a candle. There were a couple of kinds of jam besides the raspberry that I won't want to share. We laughed and talked and shared stories. Mary made me a pillow of leather on one side and fabric on the other that says Mustang Dreams on it. I love it. I will post a picture one of these days. Thank you all so much for loving your mustangs and coming together and sharing with each other once a month. I promise more rides this year. Keep me to it.

Today we went to church and when we got home Bob went down to Shannons to help them for a while. They had hired our grandson Ryan and his friend Eric for the day and when they were completed we took the boys home and went in long enough to get hugs from the rest of the family and then home to have some dinner. There were a couple of dogs hanging around today and I could not get them to leave. Bob found a deer head down by the barn. I am sure they brought it. ICK. They did leave before Bob got home though. They had collars on but were very large German Shepherds. I did not go out, just yelled at them from the porch. I am glad the chickens were penned up. I don't know that they would have gotten them but I did not want to know.

It was really cold again today and a little fog but not snow. They keep saying we will get some but so far, zilch. I am NOT complaining, be sure.

I hope your Sunday was blessed,
