LOL! I just love the “drawwwwwwl” that the actors always give us Texans!
It's hard 'not' to put put lights and garlands on everything because it's always so rewarding once it's done, to sit and enjoy the lights and 'stuff'! But, honestly, I 'have' been leaving some of the tree ornaments in the box the last few years instead of putting them all on the tree. (I just can't toss any of them out though) That's not to say I don't have fewer ornaments though! I always buy several new ones each year and think it's foolish to put some of the old stuff on that always gets relegated to the back where it absolutely does not show, or the inside of the tree where it ends up not showing either after all the pretty outside stuff gets on. Some years I dread the undecorating more than others and that's usually when I tend not to put bows on every tree outside and garlands or wreaths on all the windows and doors. LOL! One year - gahhhhh! - I candycane-wrapped all the fence posts around the property. Key word - "one" year! Never again! :)
We do this to ourselves, Lori. LOL
Oh, yeaaaahhhh...they jes’ make us soun’ lak hicks frum the sticks! EGAD!
Ooooo...there are some great restaurants there! That’s where
we all ate when a bunch of us “Canteeners” got together last
May....at Case Rio. Yum!
Have a wonderful time and enjoy Texas hospitality!
Little off topic, but I was watching parts of the debate last night and in the background of one of the U-tubers was a drawing of Ronald Reagan. Sure looked like one of your drawings, Billie.
we are talking “rough” movie here.. not sure either of you would like it.. read rotten tomatoes & Imdb before making the choice.
I dont want you both POd at me
Oh, don't I know it! LOL.
I can't weed out any of my ornaments and I also leave some in their boxes too. They just won't fit on the tree. I have many that are over twenty years old and most are Hallmark ornaments that I put on the "traditional" tree (I decorate three trees in the house - a formal tree, a traditional tree and a kitchen tree). It's always harder putting the ornaments away then it is getting them out because they all need to be matched up with their boxes. They all have special meaning; some were handmade by friends, some were gifts, some I bought during our travels here and there. I will never part with any of them. JK has a huge Santa collection too that I put out each year. But, you're right, it is worth it once they are all in place. :-)
Great Post you two! I like that new edge you’re using on your pic’s, Billie.
Thanks for the movie review Dolly. Have you seen Bella yet? Have heard that’s a good movie.
Hi, Meg thank you - and love that cartoon you posted. :)
LOL - they were easy - but easy because those expressions are pretty much their norm!
Hmmmm, really? Would like to have seen them, but we didn't see the debate last night.
You're right - I doubt I'd like it, Dolly. :)
Gosh I'm ready to get started NOW!
Yes, well.....when there is ugliness, anger and viciousness in the heart, it shows on the face, IMO.
Thanks, Aqua. I like using that edge, too, and find I choose it a lot, especially when I want something without a drop shadow. It’s really pretty on pictures that are wider than they are tall - like the panoramic pics I used in Kansas and Delaware state threads.
Good! Make it fun. That's what I tried to do. :-)
I think I will sit down this evening with one of JK's Irish Coffees, light a fire in the fireplace and just enjoy my house. I have been wrapping gifts all day. I feel like I am WAY ahead of the program.....it's still November! LOL. Please don't hate me. ;-)
They are an ugly, petty and bitter party, and you’re right - it shows on their faces as much as in their actions.
Gaaaah! Stop ! I can't stand it! I will be a demon this weekend, making Christmas beautiful all through the house! LOL
Love Irish coffee!!! And sitting in front of the fire, with a blankie and doggie in my lap. :)
