I am not in the mood for much today. Don’t want to repeat but I have a sinus infection and the doctor has sent me something. When I get that, I feel like I have the flu. Not good at all.

I think I will do like Scarlett O’Hara and change it to “I will never do mirrors again!” LOL~~

Hope everyone is having a Warm Fuzzy Christmasy Wednesday.

School buses were cancelled today due to dense fog.
We took Marissa to school at 10:00.
Since there will only be a few students there today,
maybe she will get some extra help with her math.

I will be back in a few with today's Holiday Celebrations.

Warm Fuzzy Christmas Greetings to y'all.

Just beautiful, Conor! Thanks for all the poetry you post.

Sweet little kittens, Amy!

Aww, jaycee..I am so sorry..I hate sinus infections..I have been taking allergy medicine all fall to keep myself from going there..It is no guarantee..but so far so good..
I am playing mostly..Trying to take my own advice..My jobs always wait on me..My to dos are not going anywhere while I play

This precious dog looks a lot like my last Sheltie. She was black and white and adored the snow. My first Sheltie was sable with just touches of white and black. Both were beautiful and the sweetest things in the world.


I tried to stay out of the snow, Mom!

Aww..darling..You need a pet, jaycee. I know it hurts when we lose them but they bring so much joy, too.

Solitude

Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone. For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth, But has trouble enough of its own. Sing, and the hills will answer; Sigh, it is lost on the air. The echoes bound to a joyful sound, But shrink from voicing care. Rejoice, and men will seek you; Grieve, and they turn and go. They want full measure of all your pleasure, But they do not need your woe. Be glad, and your friends are many; Be sad, and you lose them all. There are none to decline your nectared wine, But alone you must drink life's gall. Feast, and your halls are crowded; Fast, and the world goes by. Succeed and give, and it helps you live, But no man can help you die. There is room in the halls of pleasure For a long and lordly train, But one by one we must all file on Through the narrow aisles of pain. Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Glad you liked my posts, jaycee.

I call them flying dogs with their landing gear up.

You got me there!

Lori, I said good morning earlier but ...
I want to let you know I enjoyed posting this cute graphic
on Warm Fuzzy Wednesday.

Do you have any idea how many dogs are desperate for a loving home. They will give you unconditional love in return.

Here comes one now!

Thanks for linking to my Mississippi post. But I am really unhappy to see that using my Firefox browser, it is all messed up. Viewing it with Internet Explorer it looks much better (although the width isn't right, for some reason). Still, it looks much better with IE. That is upsetting, knowing that some people aren't seeing it as I intended if they are using a browser other than IE. Oh, well, nothing to be done about it, I guess. :-(

Did you hear about our freeway pile-up down here this morning, Amy? Whole bunch of cars and a couple of big rigs smashed up in the fog just a couple of miles north of us. Happens every year. People just won't slow down.

We didn't get into bad fog Friday coming home, but we stressed out about it all the way. You never know when you are going to run into a wall of fog where you can't see a thing. Glad you and Marissa got home okay.

[Lady Jag]

IT'S CUT THE CHEESE DAY!

Hi

[JustAmy]

I didn’t hear about the freeway pile-up near you. Were there any injuries? I don’t know why people continue to drive as tho they can see for miles. I really hate the fog. The sun is shining here now so we will probably get fog early tonight.

When I looked at the Mississippi Post, it looked okay to me but I do use IE. Hope you don’t mind that I use graphics from your post when I link to it. Your graphics are better than any that I can find with the search engines.

I just had to tell you that is one of the prettiest cat pictures I have ever seen.(on #1065) That kitty is just so sweet looking I could squeeze it to death.

Gonna hafta agree with Jaycee on this one. :)

AND....Jaycee, I just love that old-fashioned Christmas card! I have a site (if I can find it!) of old-fashioned cards for all occasions, and most of them are so pretty!

[JustAmy]

Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday, Rus.

Thank you for your dedication in bringing us ODB.
I appreciate seeing that cup of coffee first thing every day.

Have a Warm Fuzzy Christmas Season.
