Lets Jump Together

The Nature show on PBS featured this great episode a couple of weeks ago.
It was titled: Christmas in Yellowstone.
The photography is superb and the show was a joy to watch.
I am looking forward to when this one is rebroadcast.
The lady who narrated it had the perfect voice and tone as she told of the shortened [...]

Time to begin a new year once again.
They seem to come faster and faster each year.
Some thirty years ago, my mother-in-law used to tell me - the older you get the faster the years go.

Old fuddies that we are, we will be spending the evening and the next day watching videos and eating great meals with some extra snacks in between.
Perhaps a walk if the weather permits - not much into all the football games that will take over [...]

The house is filled with the scent of warm pumpkin pie and homemade chocolate fudge.
The ham will go in the oven tomorrow for a big dinner on Christmas Eve to share with the family.

Those Holiday Songs

It happens every year
The need to hear those tunes.
Not in the bright and warm
Sunny month of June.

When Christmas music plays.
