“Alas! How dreary would be the world if there was no Santa Claus! There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence.” — Francis P. Church

“You better watch out, you better not cry, better not pout, I’m telling you why—Santa Claus is coming to town.” — Haven Gillespie

“Whenever anyone was unselfish, that was Santa Claus. Christmas Eve was the time when everybody was unselfish. On that one night, Santa Claus was everywhere, because everybody, all together, stopped being selfish and wanted other people to be happy.

I needed a long weekend break from my hectic do-nothing routine anyway. haha


I have been exercising/working/walking very heavily this week though. santadance

Good Morning and christmas everyone puppy

Son is in the kitchen teaching g'son to cook. They are making beet salad with blue cheese right now and will make soup later. It's fun to listen too, but the deal was, I'd do the dishes. They are using every dish in the kitchen rotfl

It's supposed to be in the 60 later so will get my walk in then, though it will be short as I'm nursing a boo boo. And I have a project for hubby this afternoon, so need to be on hand for that.

Have a great one ya'll puppy

Edit: Ana, so very glad the biopsies were negative happydance12

Joe, I can relate to brain vs calendar confusion. It caused me to start marking appts on my calendar, which I used to always pretty much rely on memory. woozy
There was a day when I got up, got dressed for work and headed out with my dog to drop him off at the play day center. The center was closed which was weird; thought I missed a note saying they were closed for some reason. So I drove back home, dropped dog off and headed to work. Parking lot was empty. THEN I looked at my phone and realized it was Sunday, not Monday. rolleyes
I have a close friend with whom I have do a regular check in call every week. Once when I asked how things were going, she replied that she wasn't even sure what day it was. I told her she was talking to me so it must be Thursday. haha

So, if your brain feels off whack, just join the crowd lol12

Good morning everyone. holidays

It is Wednesday is it not Butterflybabe? That's a very funny story btw. lol

I'm pretty sure it is. snicker

Well we had 70 degrees here on Monday. This morning when I got up at 7:30 it was 60 degrees. That's pretty darned mild weather for Christmas, I must say, even for us. shocked

We're actually only going to be a high of 63 degrees today despite being at 60 at sun up.

The wind is what is putting a damper on an otherwise glorious day. So I'll wear a jacket when I take Missy parking. wink

No other plans for me, except to exercise. Gotta keep moving. thumbsup

A very Happy Birthday to you L4L. I hope you have a blessed day. birthday

Mary it's always nice seeing you in the diner. We want to hear the news on your hubby's condition and how his treatment is going. Our hearts and prayers always here for you. hearts

Have a super day everyone. santa

Yes, Joe, I assure you it is Wednesday today. Glad you enjoyed the story. wave
Sometimes I don't realize how fast the days go until I get a reminder call from a doc's office to confirm the appt. I made weeks earlier. crazy
Oh, well, if that's the only problem in my life, I'm doing good! thumbsup12

Good evening everyone laugh

Joe, my brain dropped the sync with the calendar some time back ... I think it's because we've transitioned to "electronic" calendars and message/emails ... I memory doesn't work so good with them as it used to work with paper calendars ... I carry a paper calendar with me all the time

Mary ... it's always a treat to see you in the Diner and catch up with life ... keeping you, hubby and family in my thoughts and prayers

ButterFlyBabe ... I have a similar go to work story ... I just returned from an overseas trip on Saturday so relaxed and tried to catch up with time zones and then on Monday went to work only to find the building locked ... so milled around out front for 10 to 15 minutes thinking through tasks and projects and then decided to work on my 'paper' calendar next only to discover the day was a federal holiday rotfl

Connie, we'll have a cold Christmas too ... have fun at Karaoke tonight! I'm headed to the NC for cupcakes

Family, enjoy your shows
L4L hearts

Have a quiet evening everyone

Merry Christmas Eve's Eve christmas I'm exhausted and I'm planning on being a complete and utter slug on Christmas Day. We are busy preparing for the kids and their significant others come tomorrow afternoon for Christmas Round 2. Two parties in 5 days while working is a handful. I also have a boarder coming in the morning, she's a sheepdoodle.
I'm almost done wrapping and then it'll be bed time. Short work day tomorrow since everyone is coming at 2.

It'll be a high of 15 tomorrow with windchills at 0 but no white Christmas. Brrrr!

Have a blessed day all!
Ana

Temps have been dropping all day. Supposed to be in the 20's tonight. I biked in the bedroom today...too much rain and cold for me outside.

G'kids are at moms, so we plan on a quiet Christmas. I'm heading up in a second to make our Christmas Casserole for breakfast in the morning. Then I have a few presents to wrap and I'm done. We are hoping to watch the new Wonder Woman tomorrow night.

Wishing you a very christmas

Merry Christmas Eve everyboomie! christmas

Had a very busy day so far here. I did cleaning all morning waiting for it to warm up. Missy hates the cold. wink

We were caught off guard after waking up to 60 degrees yesterday, it was 30 degrees when I got up this morning. When we went parking at 12:00 it was mid 40s, but pretty windy and boy did it bite! shiver

After that I actually drove up to Walmart for some last minute shopping, and so did everybody else in town. rolleyes

It was a mad house. slapforehead

After that I went bye to visit my friends Charlsye and Beau. yes

Than came home and cooked a pizza. santadance

I'm starting to look like that Santa....without the beard. wink12

Have a great holiday everyone. wave12

This looks like the right place to come and wish all of you not frequenters of the Garden happiness and/or over-indulgence whatever and however you may be celebrating!
Hopefully even those separated by covid restrictions can at least speak to or even video call with loved ones. holidays tree
