MEANDERINGS of Margie

Hoping you have a very  HAPPY Birthday. We've been BFFs all our lives. We've traveled on the road of life, separately, but always together in the heart. I value our friendship --it is holding fast w/the passage of time and distance. You are a most wonderful FRIEND. We've been through some happy times, FUN, sad ones and we're both still here! (even w/our "wisdom highlights"!!) I look forward to many more memories. GOD bless you on your SPECIAL day. I LOVE ya, girlFRIEND.  ((HUGS))

Spent a couple of days, chasing the secular part of the Christmas spirit. Clean, dust, remove and then add the stuff ya want to show. It's truly a back-breakin process...I have to use a ladder in most places!! (yea, ya can stop voicing the "short" jokes in ya head now...!!  LOL) I have found this a most difficult endeavor for the past few years. At my age (yea, I know...older!!), there is the obvious absence of KIDS. Empty-nest syndrome sucks on holidays---more than other times. It's even harder since the local GRANDS have gotten older. They wanna be home, NOT @ GrandMa's house. (We sometimes go there, just to be a small part of their Christmas.) It's an awesome type of "lonely" -- missing the excitement of children on Christmas morning! Unable to be a real "part" of that fun anymore! Anyway. I made some small attempts.! Just don't have the "heart" for decorating these days!  Welcome MUST have Jingle Bells.... ...

Y'all know this woman. She is a BFF/2nd Mama/Mentor since 1981. I can't tell ya how Much I LOVE this woman. Tonight, as we were talking---she said, I wrote a poem today. You wanna hear it? Ofcourse, I told her, so she recited her ORIGINAL poem for me. (Now---you do understand, we two are on the "same wave lengths" at our ages!!! So this is TRUE of me, too.) the poem: I don't like to COOK, COOK, COOK I don't like to clean, clean, clean....but I DO like to go to my computer and LOOK, LOOK, LOOK!! Y'all I 'bout fell OUT of my chair laughing!!!!!!!!!!(and just barely missed a pottie run!!!!) Maxine and I are so much "alike" sometimes, it smells into the distance.!!!!!!   LMAO I hope I did your Poem justice, Maxine. :)

Most colored leaves have fallen by now. Today I noticed a few lying about in the front....against the dark brown forest floor, they sometimes show off!! I like the way leaves vary in shape....interesting how each one can look slightly different! Yep. It stopped raining just long enough to get OUTside the house!! Have a good day everyone.....:)

We ate subs tonight. LUV 'em! My biggest kick is the Italian Herbs & Cheese bread...then top it off w/Macadamia cookies. Yummmmeeee. While consuming all this goodness...I began to "read" the napkin. Well, eating is boring sometimes...LOL Did ya know: Subway is owned by: Doctor's Associates Inc. I didn't. NEVAH  read the napkin before tonight...haha So. I wondered....was that just a co. name, or were real doctors involved? Goggle wins again. So, there it is. It  IS  owned by Doctors. Who knew? Above is story of how it all began Ok. Now we are all better informed.....simply because of a lil white napkin.!!!!!!!!!!! Ginger will LOVE this: The NAPKINS  are 100% recycled fiber Processed chlorine free & printed w/WATER based inks (w/notice - Please recycle or Compost this napkin). So there is... the rest of the story!!! {consider yoself entertained..hahahaha. I was!!}
