Billie, that thread is more beautiful than I recall.. Love the icy silver. read some of the comments & noted that I was buried under snow when I read it... glad they fixed it for you. Been updating my military prayer list & also ping list. good we are adding more. Now back to the drugery.. Had another flood & both my shop vac & current shampoorer decided to stop operating. went to wall mart & got a new medium sized shop vac, out for pizza buffet & let the dogs run in a remote area..

[DollyCali]

They looked wonderful.. the one w/half cider/half wine & some rum & spices etc sounded delicious! I copied & saved it. thank you!!!

It was cold here this morning. My cat was ALL the way under the covers, no leaving out his little nose or ears!

Hi Billie This is a beautiful thread! I also enjoy going back and looking at the others. What works of art you all do! :)

I've been decorating. It's been a lot of work. My living room, dining room are now filled with boxes of Christmas decorations and ornaments. I only have the outside done so far. :)

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Afternoon Dolly! :)

[DollyCali]

Hi there Ma'am... about ready to get back to work (or take a nap?) buffets ruin me

[GodBlessUSA]

LOL! :)
I have to finish putting lights outside around my door. Then pick-up my daughter and prepare dinner. Exciting eh? :)

Some excerpts from Texas Cowboy on Dec 24, 94.. (rest of post is HERE)

--also noted the fifth person in the "to" list is now "gone" also - and in fact was when TC posted this Billie's tribute

.Maybe it was just an old ping list that had not been updated. I still now & then see pings to texasflower & even LBGA and it is strange.

Here are the excerpts from TC's post

Have you ever received something wonderful that you didn't even ask for, like money in the mail, a debt that had mysteriously been cleared, or a coupon to a department store where you had just seen something you wanted, but couldn't afford. .... THAT'S GOD. He knows the desires of your heart.

Have you ever been in a situation and you had no clue how it is going to get better, but now you look back on it. . . THAT'S GOD........He passes us through tribulation to see a brighter day.

In all that we do, we should totally give HIM thanks and our blessings will continue to multiply.

NOW THAT'S GOD!!!!!!!!

Thank you Dolly for linking Billie and ru's tribute to 'whoever'. She came to mind Sunday in church to me in our pastor's message on giving thanks to God in all things. She is one of my Heroes of Faith.

I've been busy reading through a lot of the links you provided this morning Billie. Thank you.

[Kitty Mittens]

Beautiful Thread, (((((((Billie)))))))! I'm Going to Go Through Some of the Threads you Listed in a Few Minutes.

PreviouslyA-Lurker, your Kitty is too Cute! She's All Comfy-Cozy Looking.

[DollyCali]

She was one of my first "personal/FReepmail" contacts here at FR with the photo album. Sweet gal. Her daughter registered & posted after her death.. not sure she stll checks in.

[La Enchiladita]

This is my very favorite Christmas song. Thanks for posting it!

[La Enchiladita]

Thank you for the welcome!
I'm going to look at some of the Christmas Past threads.

[Texas Termite]

TC taught all of us a lot about faith. About his belief in God and what it meant to him.....and to us.

In his business world he will be remembered for being one of the very best in his field.

On FR, for the countless uplifting posts and prayers and friendships made.

And in our hearts, a prince, a warrior and a true gentleman.

Well, FRiends.. fading fast here.. been waiting for Dose. Might do a little bit more work & then crash. But want to say good night & sweet dreams to all the Finest.. I have spend the better part of a couple of hours reminiscing at the Memorial wall.. the memory threads etc.

Transitions....

[Brad’s Gramma]

And in our hearts, a prince, a warrior and a true gentleman.

I couldn't have said it better...

[snugs]

Hi Dolly hope you have not had any more disasters - am waiting for the dose also before I crash

[apackof2]

Your welcome

I would suggest getting Twila Paris Christmas Cd called "its the thought"

Her version of song is very lovely, plus the rest of the CD is wonderful, annointed

[Stars&StripesNE]

You have lifted my heart. Thank you for adding Jennifer to the list. Specialist Jennifer thanks you too.

Hi, Dave - how tall was the Candy Cane you used to use at Christmas?

Glad you've enjoyed some of the Christmas threads.

Louie's lighting up his cat still makes me laugh. Poor cat indeed!
