Hello there---Happy Sunday--I hope all is going pretty good in your part of the world!----- These are very busy days-- We must try to be organized somewhat, don-cha think?-----
Son#2 just called--He is driving to the Airport in Toronto--en route to LA----He was happy because he said there would be 3 Pilots, which meant he can get a wee rest en route--- He is so funny--
He was telling me that when there are a few Pilots (depending on the # of passengers)-----that--sometimes, he pulls a sweater over his uniform, and walks down the length of the plane--- just for exercise--The passengers do not know that he is the Pilot-- and even the Air Hostesses , if they work the rear of the aircraft, do not know he is a pilot, and have been known to ask him to take his seat--That Dreamliner is a very long aircraft--He was laughing about this----He said they return to Toronto this evening--
To-day is the day-- hopefully--that "the Christmas Tree" --might get up- Poor thing has been down stairs for almost a year, waiting for this big day, to make an appearance in the Living room--Lordy Be!
Well, ours never looks like this one---and our presents are quite a few less--but, its the people who count--
I best get the tree upstairs-- 
I have all the decorating done except for the tree and that is my goal for the day. The snow we have on the ground should melt by tomorrow night as we are expecting quite the rain storm with 2+ inches of rain. Good Luck with your tree.
ReplyDeleteWe had rain all day--- but--pit is better than snow- Lynda
DeleteOh, those memories! Savor them, for sure! I have promised myself another bout of wrapping today. Wish me luck!
ReplyDeleteDid you do the wrapping???--I still haven't brought up that tree--just was vegging on the sofa--lazy me ---- Lynda
DeleteSuch nice family pictures! Thanks for letting us see. Careful carrying that tree upstairs. Mine is just in a spare room, hoping to get it here soon. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from yu-- Lynda
DeleteSuch beautiful memories. Aren’t we so happy to have them.
ReplyDeleteGot my tree brought in from shed Wednesday, put up on Friday, decorated yesterday and enjoying it today!
I remember when it I used to do it all in one day but not really necessary now so I take my time. LOL
HAPPY SUNDAY!
Memories...............some great and wonderful....some not, but they are there all the same. One of mine is when we would go horseback riding thru the woods and try to find a tree to mark for the next Christmas. We carried a long yellow ribbon so we didn't forget. LOL We did have fun....my son would always take his fishing rod and if we found a pond out in the middle of nowhere he would stop and fish..
DeleteHave a great week and tell #2 to keep up the good work on the exercising....you have such handsome children.
Yu know --his flight ended up being cancelled--but he got to go home and enjoy the day with his family-Lynda
DeleteI think I will lug that tree upstairs to-morrow----maybe undo the box--and eventually get it up--like yu-- Ill do it in stages-Lynda
DeleteI shall do the tree like yu--in stages--then--maybe I will get it up-I just vegged today--Lynda
DeleteI shall do as yu did--- get the tree upstairs --and then the next day--put it up-Lynda-
DeleteYu know I just vegged to-day--was pooped--LOL-- So good yu have yer tree up--Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. Yes, it's the memories that count. Our very little Christmas tree will not see daylight this year. My husband isn't interested and I just don't have the energy. I am a strong woman but I have to put that strength into healing myself! I can't wait to see yours. I love all the photos of your family and also the story of Son #2 disguising himself so he can get some exercise while en route! That seems very important on those really long flights that he flies. Have a lovely day today - it is a day of rest and I'm going to take advantage of that!
ReplyDeleteKathy--I never brought the tree up-- laid on the sofa and read my book--just feel lazy--Yes son#2 never flew--the plane had a mechanical so he went back home--- good for him I told him-Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda, please be careful bringing your tree up.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures and memories. Lovely family. Good kids.
Yes, we are strong women...especially you.
Your pilot son disguising himself so he can get a bit of exercise..funny.
Take care, be safe. Play your piano, smile, be happy and relax a bit.
Hugs
Yes, wasn't that a funny story--?---- He gets a kick out of that--It turned out his flight was cancelled-- said the plane needed some repair-=-Yes good kids-- Ive just been vegging all day--kinda nice -Lynda
DeleteWe are strong women, Lynda. You especially.
ReplyDeleteI love your stories and photos featuring your family and pets. There is nothing about the pets or severe weather today, so I hope those are all fine.
We did karaoke last night and had a blast. I got to sing 5 songs.
Haven't looked in that last place for my little tree yet. Will do that later.
Got the lottery tickets to put in the cards I'm giving the residents here.
This next week will be catching up on things not Christmas related...laundry, etc. Sadie hasn't been too up on that lately,.
Paid some bills. Will get the rent check tomorrow when the bank opens.
Now Lucky is needing attention. We both just woke up from a 'long winter's nap.' Do you know where that phrase comes from? I used to know the story by heart.
{{{HUGS}}}
Yu love Karaoke-- One day, maybe I can go with yu--That would be a blast--LOL---and like yu--I never got the tree up-=-just rested and read my book on the sofa--I remember that phrase also--"a long winters nap"----= It was a fairy tale of some sort--wracking my brain here--=- Now it will bother me all night--LOL--=Lynda
DeleteThe Night Before Christmas!
DeleteLove all the pictures of the past Xmases. Especially of you and the roses. REally nice. I don't do much for Xmas as it's just me and my pup here. Just got a tiny fake tree at Loblaws about a foot big! Will be buying only small things for a couple of neighbours, etc. Hope you have a lot of your family around and can get more pictures at whoevers house you celebrate at. Have a relaxing day. Hope the pilot is able to get his walking exercise on his flight! Hugs Brenda.
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda-- His flight was cancelled--He was quit happy with that as got the day at home--I hope that we both get that tree ready soon-- Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda! Hope you had a great Sunday! I wish my birthday could always be on a Sunday. lol Yours will be next Saturday! I am enjoying a milkshake. What do you plan to enjoy for your birthday? I had a nice uneventful day and my dogs had a better day so I am grateful. That is funny your pilot son pulls out the sweater. That works! lol I hope I can get my trees up in a couple days. I go for a dental cleaning tomorrow and need to get holiday groceries and a few last minute gifts. I am almost done with everything. Thank goodness. Have a great night!
ReplyDeleteI had a relaxing day Thank yu-- No tree got up--yet--but I know itv will--So nice to hear from yu---Lynda
DeleteGlad son #2 can take a wee break while flying to LA. That’s funny that he puts a sweater on over his uniform and nobody knows he is the pilot!
DeleteLove the pictures!
