Yikes! A snowblower? That reminds me of the movie Fargo. It would be just as messy of a way to go as the wood chipper scene. We love all Christmas music in our home from the old classic crooners, heavy metal rock, to the comedies like Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. I found this version where...

Timmothy's cartoon brought two images to mind when I read it. #1 as a little five pointed star dressed like a cowboy with a revolver in it's hand and...#2 it reminded me of an old album cover by Shaun Cassidy. Shaun Cassidy was a teen TV Star on the show The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries and th...

That wonderful Invincible Feeling.We have all felt it and wished we could hang on to it forever BUT as Titus found out when he walked off the end of the table, a fall will often come shortly after. I don't know if any of us can say we feel invincible as Real Estate agents... as in I know I am goi...

Once in a while we totally misunderstand what is going on around us just like Philemon didn't think the garland was edible while Joe on the other hand though Philemon might mistake the garland as a relish.I'm sure something similar has happened to all of us. Some warnings seem totally unnecessary...

With Santa hats ranging from $1.47 on up I would guess that there are a few itchy ones out there on the market. I would guess that Santa's real hat is very comfortable and maybe has an elastic band to keep it on his head as he zooms to every house on Christmas eve. 

It's pretty hard to avoid the sounds of Christmas today. I've already rang the bell by the red kettle when I was also selling hot dogs for "The Horn of Plenty" and I've heard them just about everywhere I've shopped as well.  It's pretty hard to escape the Christmas music if you are downtown where...

The turkey is gone, the Fall and Thanksgiving decorations are gone and today the Christmas decorations have come out.These are a few (very few) of Carol's nativity scenes. They look like those of the smallest but she does have some with figures up to to 18". They are beautiful and from several di...

Carol purchased the smallest whole turkey she could find so I'm pretty sure we won't be eating it all the way to Easter unless she freezes some of it for later consumption.The picture above is not ours. I found it on the web and it is NOT copyrighted.At lunch today we did enjoy cold turkey sandwi...

I know a lot of people, like my sister, who have their Christmas shopping done by August. From what I've read here in the Active Rain Q & A section there are quite a few of you that already have their Christmas shopping done.I agree with Joe, I want to avoid this:Our household , all adults now, h...

I wonder what Joe did wear for the following month? Maybe pajamas? I'm sure we can relate to some extent with Joe, Titus, and Philemon but I try hard not to let myself get to the "one bite to many" place anymore.That being said...Last night our church had a diner, not a pot luck, with so much foo...
