Oh, Billie, that is so beautiful....the graphic and the descriptions of the ‘blues’ in winter. I did alright until I listened to the song....so beautiful, so sentimental, I cried. BUT, I am okay now...really! It was just touching. Christmas music does that to me sometimes but I still love it. Thank you for this today.

So lovely, so.....icy and blue!

Billie, your graphic and music selection this morning didn't work. I am not yet in the mood for baking, decorating and wrapping....but I AM in the mood to get back into making up some graphics for Amy's Place. Yours this morning has inspired me! And, Amy, I am sure you will be pleased to hear that you will have some new graphics coming your way soon. 'Bout time, huh? ;-)

Love that gif! She not only ignored me I just found her in the living room on a forbidden chair..She is really pouting big time. I put a cookie sheet on the chair..First time in over a year!LOL
The vet was very informative and and reassuring. My garage door would not open when I returned from the vets..probably needs oiling on the chain..It was 28 early this morning, too..I am just grateful it opened so I could get out and make my appointment!

Good Morning!

Thank you, jaycee. I get all sentimental listening to Christmas music, too, but I usually like the slow, sentimental ones better than the peppy ones. That's not to say that the cute, peppy ones don't make me feel happy and peppy, too. :)

Glad you like the scene and the poem - thought the poem fit so well.

[Billie]

Thank you, Lori. I hope the graphic and music finally opened for you - strange though (is it a domania thing, I wonder?) Jaycee didn't seem to have trouble with it. Of course it's in my browswer, so I'm seeing it.

Am glad you're back in the mood to make graphics for Amy's - I enjoy doing them so much I have a hard time getting away from "my studio" sometimes! :)

Good Morning To Amy's Place
Beautiful blues opening , Billie..I had this from last year and love JOHNN's poem
so I'll share it with you.

Oh sunrise, come now so softly
morning calls, in rose and peal tones
the wind whispers of the coming day
and I stand, humbled by the moment.

For such is emotions easily spent
in hearts, set free in joy to play
and discontinuity dampens its moans
in the presence of art so lofty.

WayzataJOHNN

Good morning (a day late), Dita! It’s always fun to start a new month, new thread here, and, like you, I think maybe I can keep up this month! But see, here it is the second day, and after posting the opening for December 2nd, I still didn’t get through all of yesterday’s posts and pings.

[Billie]

I also want that coconut cream pie NOW!!!! Gah! Could it be any more tempting!

[Billie]

Then again, cherry pie was once my favorite, and that was with scoops of chocolate chip ice cream on top!!

Hmmmm, I never would have dreamed of using chocolate chip ice cream for the "a la mode" with Cherry Pie! Guess, like Luv said - maybe tastes like chocolate covered cherries. :)

[Billie]

Yummmmmmm ..... the chocolate chess pie with ice cream!

[Billie]

I don’t think they know how ugly they are. I’m glad we don’t have to endure that on this thread.....shhhhh, don’t tell anyone. They may hear!

Muh lips are sealed. :)

[Billie]

“...There should only be ONE birthday in December. :)” Awesome comment! I know WHOM You mean! :)

:)

[Billie]

You’re so clever! Until I saw the graphic, I didn’t even notice your apple “pi”!

[Billie]

Beautiful start to the month, ladies! Happy December!

Thank you, gg! Happy December - the previous 11 months are now behind us, and a new year comes soon. Let's enjoy the rest of this year!

[MEG33]

My mouth waters at the thought of it..I have ingredients for an apple cake..I need a dessert in the house and just might make one this week. Yesterday’s pies were so tempting!

[MEG33]

There were lots of recipes on the net..I don’t make this..I depend on my daughter for it. I make the cake..my daughter and daughter in law make the pies.

[Billie]

I am trying to find a photo that is on this laptop to share with you... so you can see him. He is the sweetest. I think there is one of us when we went to court to adopt our grandson and foster daughter. Hmmmm now to find it! Polly

Thank you, Polly! LOVED seeing you and your happy family! What a great photo, and you all look wonderful! Thank you for sharing! And again, Happy Birthday to Mr. Pollywog. :)

Amy’s Place - Home away from Home!

HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN GOOD?? have you?!?!?

He knows when you’ve been sleeping,

He knows if you’re awake,

He knows if you’ve been bad or good........!!

Good morning to you, Uversabound! I always be good. :)
