A Poem for Christmas


Christmas gift suggestions:

To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect. "

-- By Oren Arnold

  9. Good Morning Hooters!
    Congrats on 1st tina~
    hello lynn and zonabaaaaaaaaaaaaaby!!

    a rare moment of quiet here and I thought I would drop in and say hi!

    You would all be so proud of me- I survived 3 hours at Chuck E. Cheese last night! Actually, I had a ball- all 5 of us adults played as many games as the kids did. :)

    As i sit among the rubble (which my house has become) I must say that while I am going to miss them horribly when they leave tommorrow, I am looking a bit forward to peace and restored order!

    Hope everyone has a great day!!!!

  11. Great poem Carol!

    Tina, have you no shame? Give Santa back his cloths! He needs them in a few days!!

    I have been on the run all week and it's only Tues lol!
    My Sister Lena is visiting today. I have missed her since she moved. She is only about 60 miles North of me, but with her busy work schedule as a nurse I don't get to see her. She used to stop by on her way to work, now I am way out of her way.
    Have a great day. I will check in later :)

  12. MO: You have the PERFECT QOD!! I wonder if DEEDEE could make that little outfit happen to TINA/EUNICE for us. I'll bet y ou mom is having a great Birthday celebration in heaven today with all her family and friends.

    Yesterday was busy but fun. The girls found all their presents for friends between the dollar store and Target. They also bought themselves a couple of items and imagine their surprise when they checked out at Target that they didn't have enough money...good thing Nana was there but mean old Nana had them pay her back when they got home from their allowance money. I didn't really want to buy their friends things. All worked out fine We went to Olive Garden when all done with the day for our favorite soup and salad. I have a couple of things to do shopping today and then I am done.. finally.

    Great poem CAROL. You might need to post it again to remind me about July or so.

    They are saying snow tonight and tomorrow and I hope not. I usually never mind but too much to do and I don't like to see people stranded at the airport for a holiday. TINA: is it snowing there? Would you mind just sending it around me like the last time, please?

    BBL....off to find my last finds!!

  32. Sorry I haven't been around today, HOoters. My mom and brother have arrived. I've already had two pieces of fudge, two butter cookies and 1 peanut butter cookie. It's going to be a fattening week, I think. For dinner I made some baby back ribs in the slow cooker and they were delish!

    MO I've been thinking of you all day. My mom is now 81 and I cherish every moment we have together. (((HUGS)))
