Dawg.....On The Table!!??????

It's tradition.......a dawg on the table~~~~~

I think this started one year when the butter dish met the floor just before Thanksgiving Dinner........My mom had made this little guy for the female child and her hot dogs.......(Mom was part owner of a ceramic shop at the time).....anyway in our haste to get dinner on the table , i grabbed this and put the butter in it......works well!!!

Every year for the holidays ....i drag him out and once again we have a dawg on the table for dinner!!

Female child.....if you are reading this ....NO!!! you can not have him back......keep the fish!!!

Post of few words!!

Finally got my quilt racks hung..........this one is one my fall quilts...

This one is going to the female child and SIL as a Christmas gift for their new house

This one keeps me awake at night!!!!

Started my day with the "City Boy" telling me my post are "TOO Wordy and boring" and i need to get to the point.......followed shortly there after with slicing my finger open chopping up onions for the dressing...good thing he went to work...i had a knife in my hand.....and ......well you know how husbands can be.....grrrrrrrrrr!!

Thought i'd share some of my quilts with my blogging friends.....been quilting since i was a small child....Granny and Aunt Bessie had a quilt rack that suspended from the ceiling and the women folk would quilt in the hours between fixing lunch and supper......thank you Lord for the invention of the long-arm machine.......................

Welllll..........i tried to keep it short..................!! Enjoy your weekend.................!

Last Day!!!

OK.......OK.......I couldn't do it.......I could not make this my last day!!!

I've had so much fun and learned so much this season ....I just could not leave!!
Agreed to volunteer at the mountain park at least one day a week......I'm such a push-over!!

Today, we are having left-over pot luck.....all the staff, that is working today, is bring in the left overs from yesterday's dinner!!!!.......Whoa......this should be interesting......and what a way to get rid of all that left over green bean casserole.............since i did not cook yesterday, i went home and made potato salad......hey!....i'm a Florida girl......we have potato salad on Turkey Day.....

Talked to the female child last night.......they made it to Ohio just as the snow started....by Wednesday morning there was 6 inches on the ground and all the south GA boys were out playing in the frozen stuff.......snow forts....snowmen.....snow dogs.....snow ball fights...anything to come inside soaking wet....dryer at MIL's house seems to be running 24/7....ahhhhhh....the joy of grandsons!!!.....Today.....she and MIL....with SIL...are hitting alllll the stores for the Black Friday sales.......NOT ME.......online shopping...that's my style!!!

Annnnyyyywwwaaayyy......gotta go pull up that Goggle homepage and start shopping!!

Thanks to Rangers Tom and Tracy for allowing me to share their pictures with all my blogging friends..........from now until next spring just pictures taken by me and the male child......sorry!

Word for the day....."bittersweet"........hate that it has almost come to an end......but, looking forward to the time off......soooooo....i've decided to adopt the attitude of .....Let it snow........Let snow.......Let it snow!!!!

Enjoy your Turkey Day.....remember to give thanks to the One who provides all.......The One from whom all blessing flow............

Max

Another bad hair day!!!!!

Nothing but snow....ice......and wind today!!

Maybe tomorrow "boomer" will make it into work.....

This is my question!?

I had planned a cute little blog about Christmas shopping in the high country for today, complete with pictures and funny quotes.......taking you to our local Farmer's Market for crafts day.....

Got up early.....temp was 18......dressed in mannnnnny layers...started out to pick up Mom and good friend, Chris....... we arrived at the market just in time to see the vendors packing up...cause being outside.....it was TOO COLD!!!........well, started to take some pictures...got one and then the batteries in my camera died!! We'll try it again next weekend........

Moving on ......we ran across the street to the local pet store "Happy Tails" and made appointments for all the critters.......Santa Paws is coming and you HAVE to get a picture taken!! Then we checked out the "Emporiam," a back street "Christmas Shop" and then the high light of the day.....LUNCH OUT!!!!

During lunch we compared notes and realized each one of us had to go to the food store sometime that weekend....why not go together?!! To our surprise as we looked at our lists....each list had T-paper, written by our husbands....................here's the question...."What is it with men and T-paper?!

At my house when the last roll can be seen.... it starts........we need t-paper........when are you going to the store? we need t-paper....... you know we are almost out of t-paper and on and on and on.......well this time on Thursday...trying to plan ahead...i checked the bathrooms....2 extra rolls in masterbath.......2 extra rolls in the guestbath....yelled down the stairs to the male child....."How many rolls have you got?".....Male child yelling up the stairs to me....."Three...we're probably gonn'a need some"...(he's his father's child).......OK....I think we can last until Saturday or Sunday...unless some horrible stomach ailment hits the house......THEN.....WAIT....on the list...a written reminder!!.....T-paper.........

Three women....three list.....three husbands with the need of t-paper......between us we have almost 100 years of married life and none of us could answer......."What is it with men and t-paper?"......

Soooo, being the good little homemakers that we are....we went to the store and each bought the 24 pack!!!


Maybe it'll last till next weekend......................................brboomer
