Dancing in the morning--


 Good day ----  We are in a snow storm here--a very wet rainy snow---Below is what it looks like from my window in the study--and I have shovelled the bricks in front of the garage, twice----but--again, I cannot see those bricks as they are covered with snow ---
-On the lake side of the house, the snow is  covering up everything also-and I cannot even see the lake. Below are my  wonderful "rocks"---This what we used to look like----
Now we see this-----and it's a snow mixed with rain---
As you can tell, I LOVE rocks--- I had a landscaper move the above rocks here,  to protect the mail box--As a matter of interest, no mail ever arrives in our mail box-- I painted it years ago--and our weekly newspaper is deposited in there-

--sent from Son#2 who is at the parade right now---

The 119th SANTA CLAUS PARADE is  to-day , in Toronto--and they , I hear, have bright sun--  no snow falling-- When our children were younger, and we lived closer to Toronto, we would bundle up all 5 kids, and sit on the curb, in Toronto, and watch that parade--FREEZING COLD------Then we would take the 5 children, to the toy department, of Sears , or Eaton's--- and buy toys---  Those stores are both closed now I believe. Christmas was a big event--- and so much fun!
Lopez  and Beau  are waiting for their nap----  Himself is  already having his nap-----as is Himself---


So, how is your day going?---  What are you doing to-day? I hope that where ever you are, and whatever you are planning to do, you will dance---sing a  song----

Remember--- The rule is------you have to dance a little bit in the day, before you leave the house because it changes the way you walk out in the world---Just try it----- It really works--

So--I am going to catch a wee nap--with my book--then get rid of more snow--
-Dance----  Enjoy the day--- and of course, remember to be kind to others-----AND_____BE STRONGER THAN YOU EVER BELIEVED YOU COULD BE___

  1. A good thing, that little dance to start the day! A little song in the heart! Sunday (today) is making progress on decorating for Christmas. The little tree is up, and ornamented, for now. Taking a bit of a break. Later other decor will come out.

    Wishing you a good nap, dance, and Sunday! You, and Himself, and Lopez and big Beau.

    (( hugs ))

  2. Enjoy your book and your day, and stay safe out in the snow, dangerous hobby nowadays. Son decorated out front this morning, was in the 30’s here in north Texas. Have a decent day, step carefully!

  3. You have gotten a lot of snow. It snowed here too but just a dusting on the ground. Loved all the photos. How fun it must have been to watch the Santa Clause parade. I could use some dancing today!!!

  4. Hi Lynda: Can't believe all the snow you have. It's just cold here and soe raindrops falling - which is good for the Santa Claus parade where the pilot is.Supposed to get more rainy tonight and possibly a bit of snow over the next couple of days. Lopez looks so comfy and spoiled with all his blankets! Hope you also got to relax with your book. Be careful with all the snow shovelling. Hugs Brenda

  5. Hope you enjoyed your nap. My sis in Kansas City said they got about 2 inches of snow, which isn't much....it is very gloomy out here, looks rainy more than anything.
    I have been trying to re-arrange. It is hard to put my things all in one room, there just isn't room, and I gave away so much. My daughter just says get rid of it...it of course means nothing to her, and I am sure when I am gone she will donate everything I own.
    She don't care if we put up a tree or not, so I am going to put my tree up down here...don't really have the spirit this year, but hoping
    to push thru. David would not want me down in the dumps.

  6. I hope you did dance, sing, nap and play your piano today.
    I love parades and who doesn't love a Santa parade. Great fun.
    Be careful out there...lots of wet snow
    Cold, wind, rain in St.Louis. House cleaned, tree up and going out to shop for a few gifts and a few groceries.
    Relax and enjoy today.
    Hugs

  7. Maybe you posted late. I kept refreshing the page for your blog and it kept coming up the same as yesterday. Then I looked at the list of blogs for November and saw there was a new one. I had to click that to get here!
    We got an inch or so of snow. Nothing like you did.
    You took your kids to buy toys this early? Did you wrap them for Christmas? We used to wrap the gifts from mama and daddy. Santa would sneak his gifts under the tree after the kids were asleep. Filled the stockings, too. In the morning the kids could grab their stockings, but no gifts were opened until mama and daddy were there...with their coffee!
    Nothing much today. My friend downstairs with the bariatric walker made a 2nd Thanksgiving dinner for the three of us that help her a lot.
    She said it was to thank us. I'm tired of turkey and fixins' for a while.
    It's already 11:25 P.M. now, so I'm headed off to bed. Hope you see this at some point. {{{HUGS}}}

  8. Well, if I were closer, I'd hunt down that snow person and give him a talking-to! Have you already paid him? If so, I'd fire him pronto and ask for a refund. Even better, rally one or all of the local sons and ask them to deal with this guy, get your money back (if you've already paid), AND to make arrangements for a snow person who will do what he's hired to do! This is just so wrong. Bring in the big guns -- this is one of those times when telling your sons "I need help dealing with this situation" will rally the troops. (I hope)
