Connecting Again

Once again, another change to blogger. 

Makes it hard for this computer illiterate mama. 

Hey, I'm just glad I connected this morning. 

To those of you who are on Facebook, 

these photos will be a repeat.

I just couldn't let Christmas go by 

without connecting to the rest of my friends in Blogland.

Again, I'm so sorry that I haven't visited in a while. 

This working thing is sure interfering with my fun-style.

However, I am enjoying it.  I even liked Black-Friday.

An event I haven't frequented in 30 years. 

Working it is completely different from shopping it. 

Chad was 3 years old the last time. 

He thought it was funny to hide 

under the racks at Macy's.

I bout had a heart attack, snatched him up 

after losing a game of hide and seek, 

popped his little bottom and headed to the car, 

never to return.

And I didn't!

I am trying to

change things up a bit.

It hadn't been easy to decorate a new home when you lived in the same house for 36 years and had a place for everything. It's been a challenge. I am grateful, more than I can say.

I always thought about how wonderful it would be to have a clean slate.
It's harder than you think.

This is the easiest place to begin because it's always decorated with something. 

It's the simple things that make me happy.

A single brush tree in a bowl even makes me smile.

Here's for simplicity,

A decorated ladder.

Not as simple to get those lights strewn.

It's history now.

The rains came down and the floods came up and the wind took it away.

Well, just blew a few away.  It now stands with a crooked bow
and just a bit of garland.


I'm on my way to visit a few in Blogland.
