A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....12-23, 24, 25, 26-05....Home for the Holidays
Mama_Bear

Posted on 12/23/2005 12:04:48 AM PST by Mama_Bear



Oh, there's no place like
home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine
Of a friendly face
For the holidays, you can't beat
Home, sweet home

I met a man who lives in Tennessee
And he was headin' for Pennsylvania
And some home made pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks a travelin' down
To Dixie's sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee
The traffic is terrific

Oh there's no place like home
For the holidays, 'cause no matter
How far away you roam
If you want to be happy in a million ways
For the holidays, you can't beat
Home, sweet home.

AWWWWWWWWWWW!

He's home tonight! How blessed am I?
Much different than last year, he was at PI. I was a zombie : )
He's leaving shortly to see the sweetheart.
I hope this Christmas makes up for the last!

Christmas came early to us. Yesterday we got our street light back up. Our hill had been pitch-black since Rita. Last night the stars weren't quite so bright but I didn't need a flashlight to get the morning paper.

Today the repairman fixed the microwave and I don't have to worry with finding another and having it installed--the worst part.

It's the things we seldom notice that we miss the most when they're gone. So--

A street light and a microwave that works have made life so much easier.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

lonestar and Weinie

I am glad you are slowing getting things back. Amazing what you can live without when you have to (not that one is happy about it). I have not been in loop at all re: recovery except from you & another FReeper in NOLA area on another thread. Just no publicity on how slowly the recovery & how devastating the damage. I don't have cable but understand Shep on Fox has been hi lighting Wilma damage.

I have the video on VHS.. not sure if it is anywhere on line where we can post a link. It is a wonderful video.. Purchased at one of the concerts. I have seen MH Holiday concerts 5 times & the other promotional tours about 8 times. When he was promoting the release of Fresh Aire 8, I saw him 5 times that summer at various locations (that was summer 2002). he puts on a wonderful live show.
