THURSDAY

Didn't really have a "title" for this entry - so just used the day of the week.

Was in WalMart last night. They should name an aisle after me as often as we are in there and as much money as we spend there - HA!

Anyway - I was riding around on one of those little electric carts they have - and YES I do use those when I can - save my knees whenever I can - and I found myself in the Christmas department. Yes Christmas. Even though Halloween has just past and we haven't even had Thanksgiving yet, the Christmas stuff is all out and calling "buy me...buy me". Even though I am nowhere NEAR ready for Christmas, I found myself looking at the stuff and felt my spirits rising just a tidgy bit.

Christmas was always my favorite holiday, especially at the farm. When my grandmother and parents were still alive, the farm was the "family gathering place". My father would cook and EVERYBODY came to the house to eat. We had such fun. My dad was a "card shark" and loved to play just about any card game - and he was good. We would have the best games of "set back" - ahhh...the memories.

So anyway, while I was looking through all the "stuff" I found some window "gel clings" that you can stick on your windows and the light shines through them and they sort of look like stained glass. I have some "fallish" stuff, leaves, pumpkins, a scarecrow on my office windows now and I have really enjoyed them.

So anyway, I got some redbirds, pine trees, snow flakes and a nativity scene - all made of this gel stuff - and am really looking forward to putting them on the windows in my office. I also got some to put on the back passenger windows in my car. Now, mind you, the instructions that come with the gel thingys say "do not use on car windows" - BAH HUMBUG! I'm going to use them - they won't impair my vision and I think they will look cool. Not sure how they will "weather the weather" but we'll see. I have about $7 tied up in them so if they freeze and ruin I'm not out very much and even if they just look good for a week - I'll be happy.

Big doings this weekend - but more on that later.

Thanks for visiting - hope you come back.

Peace
