One lady who is traveling alone (She tows a trailer and has a dummy in the seat beside her. (Sonny my sweet brother in law says, “so what, Sherry has been doing that for years!” gonna smack him one day.) Anyway she has decorations all around her trailer. They are even hanging in the trees out in the swamp. She bought a six foot tree and has decorated it outside. We like it.
I sang to the cows as we walked by the fence. All is forgiven and I promised not to rustle and cook one. I sang my best ‘Yippee ti yo ti yaaa’. When we got back to the fence after walking around the park my cows were gone. I was puzzled, My girl just rolled her eyes and said, ‘ Now, I wonder why they left?” I am still puzzled.
Were families ever like I thought? Mama Daddy and children with most of the family nearby to drop by and say Merry Christmas? I miss the concept anyway, even though I have contributed to it’s demise.
Shirl is entertaining distant relatives. They relate to a great(dark) history lesson in our family, so I will not tell it. Maybe she will in her blog, or give me permission.
BTW. OKAY Shirl I am Sorry! That is my apology and I am sticking to it.

How Do You Catch a Unique Rabbit?
Unique Up On It.

No don't tell that story the lady is 98 years
young and mind sharp. To many involved. I feel Whitt is a little bitter because his mother had a real hard life. Both ladies were such sweet people. Lets leave skeltons in the closet. You never know who reads the blog. You might stir up hornets nest. It is only interesting to the family who is left. Now I'm sure we have everybody's curiosity up. The Nut in Ca. is E-mailing me the story. It must have happened 80 years ago. I don't think I have the story straight. Maybe we will tell later. Let everybody make up their own story. Remember
Whitt is a Minister.

Let me know how you like 'Cracker's Mule' if you read it. Indian creek runs down below where I grew up too. (you'll understand that if you read it). take care and have a Merry Christmas. Sheila

Hey jack, first let me say thank you for the song you left on my blog. mama probably did tell me there would be days like that but it was long ago and I probably was not listening.lol
I saw a van with a red nose in front and antlers on each side , one in each front window. Then I saw another with half a deer {fake} hanging out of the trunk , trailing down like it was slammed in the trunk, yuck.
it is still raining here so i did not bother with lights outside. still hanging in there, jun
I knmow those cows enjoyed being caroled to. Wonder why they Left??? lol That is cool that you decorate wherever you are. It is a lot more Christmasy here, snowing, blowing hard, and 32 below sindchill expected tonight. Just think how you and Sherry could cuddle!!! Lucy
LOL, we're just starting to shop today but we don't have too many gifts to buy; should be "wrapped" up by this afternoon. Loved this entry, Jack, you are in a festive mood; so glad! I think it would be neat to walk around and see the other decorations; we sort of did that last night but we drove neighborhoods
enjoy the day
