Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

What a great day family, fun, and food life doesn't get any better.

Sweet Baby James

December 22, 2008 is the day my youngest son, Sweet Baby James got his drivers permit. Can you believe it he is driving a car. I took him to the DMV to get it and of course I left him drive home. He wouldn't let me take pictures inside so I could only take some when he was done. They did have to take his picture twice because, they said he looked a little tense on the first one. So now every time he hears the keys jingle he is front and center asking "can I drive you some where?"

Food

Yes my man caught food for the table today. Look at this nice stripper he got. I'm not sure how I will prepare this one the other week when he caught one and I baked it in lemon juice with lemon pepper seasoning. It was great:+)

It's RED

Every year I buy some poinsettia's at Christmas time because they make the house look so festive. They usually die within a few weeks and in the trash they go. I wonder if they all grow in the local landfill? Well the one from last year just won't die. It has been sitting on my kitchen counter for a year now. Some days it looks near death but the next day it looks alive again. I mean this poor thing doesn't have much soil left in it. It has been green since all the red leaves fell off months and months ago. Today as i was having my morning coffee i looked over at my green girl and she has two red leaves can you believe it. It's like the girl knows it's time to get dressed for the holiday season. Hopefully by Christmas day she will be all dressed in her holiday best.

Hallelujah

Yesterday my man went out to retrieve the mail, on the way he stopped to talk to the neighbor who was out. After this conversation he came in the house dancing. He was just beaming with joy I thought he won the lottery. No even better he said, the Russians are moving out!!!! Yes it's true they are moving he said, I asked why? He said that the house is too cold for them they can't afford to heat it. We both laughed, they are from Russia for heavens sake "the tundra". What ever. Hopefully the next renters will be more sociable.
