Goodness! You two were the busy ones yesterday with all those great old poems!

Hi Billie - I'm off work this week so I have plenty of time to post.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

Good afternoon, Polly.
Hope you are having a Warm Fuzzy Wednesday.
The sun has broken thru the clouds so it will get a little warmer here this afternoon.

Have a Happy afternoon.

Oh, no....of course, I don't mind if you use any of my graphics. It's quite flattering, actually. HUGS!!! :-)

There were injuries, but I didn't pay much attention. Minor, I think.

Speaking of injuries, I sliced my finger pretty badly today while cleaning the glass in a frame. It's hard to type with this big old bandage on the end of my finger. So, I think I will use this injury as an excuse to spend the rest of the day reading and napping instead of getting the work done that I should be doing. LOL

Sure I'll enjoy posting music each day. I take requests too :) I have Ave Maria by Pavorotti and enjoy his version also. He's a close 2nd to Maria Callas.

Wonderful! I see you have an even bigger selection today, too! I love that musical cat singing! :)

Isn't it great we can enjoy so many kinds of music and so many types of voices. I don't think I'd dare compare Pavorotti & Callas, as one is probably the greatest male opera voices and I'm not sure any female opera voice can top hers.

Prayers for Alpha-8-25-02, and I pray he can and will be healed and out of the hospital soon.

Thank you for the beautiful Christmas picture of the snow-covered home at night - wouldn’t you love for that to be ‘your’ home and you were inside all warm and all nestled by the fire with your loved ones beside you. (It’s the only way I want to enjoy snow anyway!) :)

[Billie]

Billie, this is so sweet. No, it’s adorable!!!:)

Hi, Dita! You may think I wasn't ever going to get here. Thank you for that sweet comment. I just loved that pretty little angel and needed to add the cowboy hat for the "Western" theme of that thread. :)

[Billie]

Another pretty old-fashioned Christmas card! Thanks, Maj! Am enjoying all the beautiful Christmas posts and pictures!

Hi Billie :)
Pavarotti was magnificent! I love that he also performed some contemporary music.

Did you finish decorating? I had so much stuff. I just threw out old junk and packed away some things. I'm done! Whew ;)

[Billie]

Hey, Luv - just now getting through most of yesterday's posts and looking at your "homemade" Christmas Card! Sweet! All the trappings of 'home' in it - beautiful tree with twinkling lights, poinsettias, crackling fire in the fireplace, teddy bears and presents - but where's the hot chocolate? :)

Good Afternoon Jaycee :)
Thanks very much. How are you today? I’m looking for more for tomorrow. Any requests?

This dog looks just like my parent’s dog. Sweet & cute!

[Billie]

Well, I hope you accomplished a lot. Thank you for your sweet compliment. Coming from an expert, it makes me feel good! You have to tell me ahead when you want me to do it. Is it every Tuesday or sometimes on Tuesday.

I finally had to quit working this afternoon...just became worn out. Believe I may have a slight case of the flu...just too achy...a person can tell when they are not up to par. LOL!

I just read a later post of yours, and hope you are feeling better after starting your prescription. I understand from many that sinus infections are every bit as miserable as the flu, so do take care of yourself and try to get lots of rest so you'll get over it and not relapse.

As for Tuesday holiday posts - I would love for you to do it every week, and if you can't for any reason or don't want to for any reason, then if you would let me know - doesn't have to be days in advance - just let me know by Monday if you won't be able to do Tuesday's. OK?

[Billie]

Billie, I just have to comment on those birdhouses. They are absolutely precious.

They do look pretty, don't they? :) Birds and birdhouses always make me smile. :)

[Billie]

:) Thanks, Luv. :)

Poor baby! Looking for a home, huh? Well, I have had many dogs and cats while raising the boys and the first sheltie we had one son was still at home. By the time we lost the first sheltie, I believe the second son was gone from home then. I swore I would never get another dog (hurts too bad) and then my DIL was working for a vet and found the next sheltie for us.

This young couple had one very small child and was getting ready for the second, so~~~~~we picked her up for $100.00. I do not understand how those people could let her go. I couldn't wait until we could pick her up. What a sweetie she was. And I'm telling you when she died, my husband and I cried off and on for a week. It was such pain...I just can't explain it. Those who have been through it knows how bad it can hurt.

I just said I would never go through that again. Now hubby is gone and I just didn't want to jump in with another pet. I could change my mind but so far I haven't.

[Billie]

So sweet, Billie..Thank you for your beautiful welcome..Sleep well. Good night all

Thank you, Meg. Hope you had a good night's sleep and feel more rested. And you, too jaycee. Please feel better!

Luv, I made Potato Soup yesterday for dinner last night (and a loaf of Rhodes frozen bread, yorkie!) :) I love almost any kind of homemade soup on cold days - it always warms you from the inside out. :)

Good Afternoon Conor :)
Enjoying reading William Butler Yeats. Happy WFW!

This is so beautiful!
