and my new santa

The sofa table
in the living room,
didn't put out the houses this year.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!! We had a great week. Santa was good to everyone. One of the things I received was a new digital camera and hubby got a new golf club. I thought I'd show a few of the pics I took at home before coming to my parents. We also have a small tree in the living room. I'll be heading home tomorrow, 'C' has an orthodontist appointment on Tuesday.

Take care,

Sheila

Santa's almost here...

Hope everyone is enjoying the season. I am enjoying time with the family. I went walking on the trails at the lake with my little brother and his fiancee' yesterday. We had a good time. They went down to Destin this morning with his daughter (age 11), she wanted to go see the big Christmas tree they have. His son (age 10) didn't want to go. 'J' and her friend from Canada were going down too, so she could show her the beach.

Hubby is headed up this way, I am meeting him in Andalusia to go to Penney's and Walmart, and probably Wards, another clothing store there.

Just wanted stop in and leave a note,
take care,
Sheila

Happy 60th Anniversary...

Happy 60th Anniversary to my Mom and Dad!

All the siblings and quite a few of the grandchildren were here today. Sorry I haven't posted lately, been busy with getting ready for Christmas and getting ready to come to Mom and Dad's.

I will post some pictures when I get them. I've been trying to keep up with the blogs through google reader.

I hope my pillow picture above helps bring some snow over the holidays...ha. I took it last year, when I first bought it.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas season, and I hope you were all good enough for Santa to come see ya...ha. Jack, maybe Sherry will put in a good word for you...!

Shirl, I heard NC got some snow...did you get any? If so, I'm jealous...ha.

Take care,

Sheila

My First Anniversary...yesterday.

As of yesterday December 9th, I have been blogging for a year. I thought it was the 8th but after checking I was wrong...ha. Then I messed around and didn't get a blog entry done yesterday.

Thanks to all that come by and read my blog...and to the friends I have made through reading journals and now blogs.

We are in the low 40's here this morning and the wind makes it feel colder. I dropped 'C' off at school this morning then drove by 'Starbucks' to get a breve' caramel mocha (with real caramel not flavoring)coffee and an oatmeal cookie. Breve' means they use half and half instead of milk. They can't make the mocha as well as my old coffee shop in Washington state but I just have to make do with what I can get...ha. But I guess it's a good thing because I got a coffee everyday in Washington, but here, I only get one every once in a while. They are probably why my cholesterol was so high...ha.

Well I'll go for now,
Take care,
Sheila

Blue dress and Barney...

Hello,

Mom sent me a picture of the dress she still has, from the picture of her and I beside the yellow car. I would have never guessed she still had it...is that a dry cleaner tag I see inside?


This next picture is of a car that was in the parking lot at the Winn-Dixie on the day I went to get the groceries for Thanksgiving. For some reason it made me think of Barney Fife...

Well we didn't get any snow... :( unless it came during the middle of the night and was gone by morning...

I'll leave you with this thought...

Woohoo....Roll Tide...Way to go Bama!!

(PS. no offense to any Florida readers...)

It's cold outside...

Hi,

'J' and I went to the 'Christmas Carol' movie. I liked it, it was pretty neat in 3-D. I am still waiting for my snow.. :)

I did the snow dance in the parking lot of the movie theater as we walked to the car. My daughter kept saying, 'Mom, we're in a parking lot', 'Mom, people can see you'...ha. I hope my embarrassing my daughter was not in vain... :D

Mom sent some pictures a while back for me to share...

This is me around a month old

with Mom and my three older brothers.

Inkin, Blinkin and Nod

(just kidding)

My 'sitting on a sewing maching picture'...

Mom still has the sewing machine.

On a couch...

Thought Jack would enjoy the ones with cars.

What can I say, are those pants supposed to

be that short...

Hope you enjoyed the pictures...

Sheila

Christmas time's a'comin'...

Hello Everyone,

I am still here. We had a good Thanksgiving...we were nice and stuffed...ha. We have been getting the Christmas decorations out and putting them up. The girls and I went to the movies the Tuesday before Thanksgiving to see 'The Blind Side', well 'J' and I saw it, 'C' and her friend decided they didn't want to see a 'football' movie and went to see '2012'. We liked it. We are planning on going tonight and see 'A Christmas Carol' in 3-D.

I'll keep this short, I need to get outside and do my snow dance. We have a chance of a wintry mix tonight so I may have a chance of it working...ha.

As you can see, I've been trying to get my blog decorated too...not sure I'm happy with it yet...

Have a great weekend,
Sheila
