The CIRCLE Closed.....

{My heart is so full of joy! Thanksgiving w/Family is such a great blessing.}
 I was able to fulfill a long, OVERdue return to Bonnie.
So many years ago, I can't put a number to, I came into possession of 2 beautiful, engraved Christmas ornaments. 2 things I knew --they needed to return to their owner, and, there was a story to be learned about them.
 I'd "find" them ~ know I needed to mail them, ~~only to "find" again, the same precious items, ~~still in my possession! Frustrating indeed!  {It seems they just kept getting "lost"/moved, and the follow through didn't happen.!!}
It  DID happen. Soon after Bonnie arrived (Wed. night) I presented them to her. It was such a sweet moment....
 ..uncovering them
Now. They are back where they always belonged....in her hands.
The story ~~she and her Mom (our beloved Evonne) had been together when they were purchased. Then, Bonnie actually did the engraving ~~Summer, Draven ~~ on them herself. Wow! I 'bout cried. Bonnie was very happy to have them.
I truly regret, I was negligent, in a timely return.!! But. This was a great time ~~Christmas really is soon.!!
Now I know......the "rest of the story".

Me, NEEDLES, YES!

Anyone who knows me is already aware of this fact. I do NOT like needles.....AVOID them @ every opportunity! My Dr. struggles to get shots into me! I'd rather take oral meds ANY day....lol   I've been forced to make exception to that on few occasions. Antibiotics. Liver biopsy. Steroids (hate those, the med BURNS!) Now I'm in PT for my hip and leg pain. It's PT, or continue to walk in pain. I chose PT. These lil suckers are wonnnnnderful!!! In only 3 sessions, these guys have gotten rid of my intense pain...Happily, they really don't 'hurt'. There is some slight prick-feel (like shot needles). When they are popped into my "sore spots", it's a bit tender....but then, there's this "heat" sensation. PT instructor explained that means the blood is again flowing, and it helps relax the "tied-up" nerves. Whatev..........I  LOVE it! So, guess and "ol dog" can learn new lessons! hahaha I still do NOT like shots

"Money Pit"

This movie made an unexpected visit here Christmas Eve! Donnie, being the prankster he is!, and Pam decided to play a "funny" on Stacey & Marc. Some of you may know.....Stacey was able this yr. to purchase a house. We've all been so excited for them, and now their money goes NOT to rent, but into a home that will be theirs to grow the kids there. They moved into the house 'bout July. Within a couple of months.....they had to replace the air conditioning system AND dig up the septic....ugh. Now, unfortunately, there seems to be some damage to the roof. ugh. (piece of ceiling in kitchen "fell in"). It's been a tough time for repairs/replacements! So, Donnie went out, searched and found this movie.....gave it to Stacey & Marc as a "gift"......It really WAS quite funny (at the moment!) Notice the looks on Stacey & Marc's faces in these..... Now....it was like my sweet Daddy was present! Daddy had a talent for "pic
