I was at the grocery this morning. Toys for Tots were collecting new and unwrapped toys in the parking lot. They were getting a great response. As I walked by, an older man pulled up in a full sized pick-up with the bed just loaded with toys...bicycles, stereos, scooters. I paused to watch the folks begin to unload his truck. When they begin thanking him he said "oh, I live alone and don't have a single person to shop for, either, so I just want to give to the kiddies". I came very close to asking him to my home for Christmas, but I didn't know how hubby would feel.

Great story. You should have asked him.

Cheers up there.

Great Pics Grannie,

Reminds me what it is like being on the shore. I'm so far away from that in the mountains here...

[restornu]

aren't pictures great they help the mood a lot!:)

I love watching travel logs without a politcal agenda and also the Classical Art I like watch the scenic ariel views when listening to some good classical music it takes to places and rememories!

[Canadian Outrage]

Yum, that looks good. That kind beat my Japanese orange. LOL

[Canadian Outrage]

OMG!! That is not just sick, it's demonic.

[Conservababe]

Rememories? You coin the best words, Resty. I love it.

I'm doing the sugar cookie baking for the "painting" tomorrow. The grandkids say they are painting them instead of decorating them. This year, the four year old is worried to death because we have a fireplace here and he doesn't at home. As in...how is Santa going to come if we don't have a chimney? Last night he opened up the glass doors to the fireplace and had his neck craned up to have a look. LOL

[lodwick]

Rememories is a word I first saw in Toni Morrison's near unreadable Nobel prize winner Beloved .

[Sundog]

Amen,

I absolutely hate some cameraman at a breath-taking location, focusing with a zoomed lens, on a babbling moron who wants his whole face in the view, while he describes his intense personal effort to reach the location.

I know it happens but I'd rather go watch I-Love-Lucy when it does.

All day long, the town of Skidmore, Mo was niggling at me. I surely do believe that this is the small town where the folks shot and killed the town bully on Main Street. No one was convicted because no one admitted to seeing or hearing anything. There was even a movie made about the incident. He was just one of those men who needed killing, I guess.

[Sundog]

That's so sad.

[Conservababe]

What is so sad about it...I mean the killing of the town bully?

[westmex]

Been a hard day for me

It got a lot worse..When I shut the puter down and went to get up out of this chair I ended up on the floor. Couldn't get back up....

Couldn't even get on my hands and knees. So had a he!! of a time getting to a phone....Called my daughter and rousted her out of bed....She came over, but wasn't strong enough to get me on my feet....

So we ended up calling 911...The Fire Dept. came out and two firemen got me up and going....I was put to bed and the daughter slept on the couch for the rest of the night....

I seem to be okay for now..At least I can get out of the chair....lol

.....Westy.....

[Conservababe]

OMG..Westy, I'm glad you're alright. Didn't you have a urinary infection the last time this happened when you were in your carport?

[westmex]

Heck I don't remember....But the other times I have went down I could at least get on my hands and knees and crawl..This time nada....Must be old age...LOL..

.....Westy....

[Darksheare]

Yikes.
Last time that happened, you got really sick.
Hoping you're okay.

[westmex]

Last time it happened nobody knew about it...I was down at the river coming back from my WALK and on a dirt path thru some shrubbery by the Seniors Center I went down and couldn't get back up...Could get on my hands and knees, so crawled to my car and could pull myself up using the car door....Got in drove home and that was that....Also when I started looking for a scooter

.....Westy....

[lodwick]

Dang - watch it up there, Westy.

What I do not need are any more broken hips or bones to worry about.
