Just to say Hi and "Ode to a cold"

*

Evenin' Sweet Friends,

*

Look what Scott found.........a Reindeer Dog!!

Isn't she cute!  This is our lil hiker dog, Joey,  remember!

*

Well,  I am still sick and sitting here eating a bowl of

chicken soup I made today, while I am blogging.

Can't taste it,  but it sure feels good in my tum tum!

*

Hubby just left to go to church and help with the

toybox ministry,  but shouldn't be gone too long,

then we will watch another movie tonight.

*

We watched an old classic ,  "It's a Wonderful Life"

 last night cause I was feeling really lousy and started running

a fever after 4 days of being sick,  my fever has gone down,

 but it is just lowgrade now, thankfully!

Don't get that,  but whatever!

*

Tonight we will watch another Christmas movie

called "Imagine that" with Eddie Murphy.  It is a

"PG rating",  so hope it is good, you never know

these days.  I have to be so careful recommending

movies cause we have something called the TV

guardian on our DVD player,  and it blips out any

bad language,  so you don't hear it.  I have told

people something was good before,  then later

remember about the guardian,  and think who

was it that I told this was a good movie,  cause

who knows what they said in it!!

*

Have been trying to get the house decorated but

yesterday I did nothing and today I didn't do

anything till about 5 p.m.,  so did get a lil more

done,  would love to finish so I can get all the

boxes and containers out of here.

*

That would be delightful,  then I have to do the

tree still.  I don't know what it is,  but I really

do not enjoy doing the tree that much,  I love doing

 the house,  and I always love the tree when I am

done,  just am not crazy about decorating it.

Maybe it's cause I miss doing it with Dee,  she used

to help me put the beads and the snow on,

and some ornaments.  She and Scott used to put

their own ornaments on.

*

It was a tradition I started when they were babies

that we bought them a new ornament every year,

sometimes they picked them while we were on

vacation, if we happened to see a christmas store,

and as they got older I would try to pick something

that would symbolize something about their life

that year, if possible.  My goal was to give them

to them the first year they were married, so they

would have ornaments for their tree,  cause our

first year we hardly had any once we bought

gifts,  and our tree was sort of pathetic,  but

we had one!!  lol

*

So when Scott got married I sent them the ornaments

cause they like us, didn't have a lot of money to do stuff
 with and they used them,  and we were able to go up to Ky.
 to see them that year and got to see  their tree,  It was neat really.

Course,  who knows where they are now!
Scott certainly doesn't have them.

Oh well,  at least I reached my goal! lol
*

Well,  that is a whole nother story!!  lol

Will leave you with what I hope will give

you a laugh as I try to retain a good humor

with this yukky,  did I say Yukky cold.

*

Ode to A Cold

*

I think that I shall never see a cold

that stuck so close to me.

*

Maybe Joey, maybe Molly or even

Rosie in all her folly.

*

But, not this cold............it want relent

until my last energy is spent.

*

Prevention magazine I have read;

eat well, mild exercise, eat yogurt, drink

tea, and then their is Vitamin B and C.

*

Go away........ lowgrade fever,  burny throat,

tired achy body, and runny nose.

Please relieve me of all my woes.

*

I know you didn't come to stay but

right now it sure seems that way.

*

Tomorrow promises a better day,

So hope that means you're going away!

*

Merry Christmas

and to all a Good Night!! 

*

Hugs and Blessings,

Nellie

P.S.  Just in case you don't know,

Joey, is our son's dog,  aka grandaughter dog

Rosie, is our daughters dog, aka another grandaughter dog

and Molly is our Cat.

and they all like to stick pretty close to Mommy and Grammy!
See pic below!

*

Here they are in all their glory,  I took this cause

it is almost a miracle that they are sitting that

close to each other,  but it was because I

was just sitting between them and got up so

they actually stayed there,  so had to get a pic.

Rosie thinks she is a person,  and doesn't like

any other animals, Joey wants to play but

doesn't quite know how to go about it,

so we have some really spontaneous fights

once in awhile! I think one day they might

give Grammy a heart attack if they don't stop.
*
P.S. S. Here is an update,  the movie we watched
was not a Christmas movie,  but it was very cute
and heart warming, a lil strange at times,  but funny.
*
Have a Great Weekend!
