Who dat!!

One of my friends on Facebook posted this and I knew I had to repost it here for my two sisters, Teresa and MaryBeth.

'twas the month before Christmas and no sign of snow, but N.O. doesn't care cause the Saints are 11 & 0. Dinkins scored a touchdown, Sharper intercepted a pass, and the Who Dat Nation cheered when Brady was sacked on his a$$. Sunday the Redskins, to Washington we will go, and when the Black and Gold get finished we'll ...be 12&0! Go Brees, Go Bush, Go Harper & Ellis, our teams UNDEFEATED and the others are jealous!

The only other thing I can say is,,,the Indianapolis Colts are undefeated, too.

Wrapping it Up

No, not the blog, altho I really should! It's a disgrace to neglect my blog so much, but it's mine and I can do what I want, huh?

Getting Christmas presents wrapped and ready to ship to the younguns. At least I know this year I can't 'over-buy' since once I send the packages out I'm DONE!!

The weather has turned quite chilly here in southern Texas; in fact, I had to turn the heater on last night!  Guess I'll take 2 or 3 months of winter compared to 6 months in Ohio anytime!

Must go find a post office now,,,I know there has to be one somewhere around here, just haven't had to use it yet! *L*

Black Friday Shopping

I have always vowed I would never go shopping on the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Broke that vow today; saw a yard sale down the the street and just had to go!! I say it was a pretty smart strategy on this lady's part, she certainly had a lot of people stopping by!

Christmas Cactus

My sister Teresa gifted me with a beautiful Christmas Cactus plant.  The first bloom burst open this morning with many, many more buds promising a beautiful show for the holidays. (should it be called a Thanksgiving Cactus???)

Back in the Lone Star State

After a week of traveling the tri-state area, I'm back at our tiny apartment.

Kevin was out of town on a training mission, so I took the opportunity to visit my sisters in Louisiana and Arkansas.

All five of 'girls' were together to surprise our sister for her 50th birthday last week.  We had all our signs, ballons and horns in place when she walked out the door after working for 10 hours; needless to say, she was really surprised!  No one in the group captured the look of surprise on her face when she first saw all of us gathered around her car, but it was priceless!!

We took her out to her favorite restaurant to eat and of course had to have a cake with 50 candles.  I wasn't sure if the fire alarm in the restaurant was going to go off or not.

We all laughed, visited, ate and had a good time.  It was great to have our tight-knit little group of sisters together again. Usually that only happens when someone dies! Now that we all live within a 4-5 hour driving distance, we plan on many more get-togethers!

For my Buckeyes,,,

This one's for you!
