Post Thanksgiving I’m only on Snerk Lite…!

@ Gweedo Murray (yesterday):.Great insight into your past life. I didn’t know who Sarducci was but I pressed a few keys and found out. Previously, the only Guido I’d come across was Guido Fawkes (who tried to blow up Parliament)..The idea of a chain-smoking, shade wearing priest is somewhat appealing (I’m not religious) so I think I’ll find out more.

Fish & chips for supper again, eh Andy?

Betting those long shots again?

Poor Andy – life’s just not fair. No shopping for me all weekend!

Give it up, Andy.

You’re just blowing Flo’s money. No wonder she won’t give you a loan for the pub!

I love horses…

RE: Yesterday’s comment to me…

I’ve actually saw a clip of the Beverly Hillbillies before. It was about 7 minutes long. It starred one of my favourite singers when she was a little girl. It was a Black and White version. I love the Granny! My mum used to watch that. I showed her the clip.

Will view the episode you sent me very soon. Thank you loads for the link!

That work you are doing sounds VERY complicated. But I wish I could keep myself busy like you do… Just so the time will fly.

I hope you enjoy your day and weekend coming up!

Great big day after Thanksgiving HUGS from PAWPAWBEAR and MAWMAWBEAR. Our CB handles on the road. Hope everyone had a blessed day yesterday and you do so today. No shopping today, I’m to old to fight over something that will be forgotten in a month.

Too bad you can’t bet on which horse will come in last.

Oh Gawd, its already started…I had to do it…just had to! So Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney are on the stereo singing Silver Bells, and Gene Autry and his Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, followed by my personal favorite, Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer ( I wonder if I should rethink that this year? I sure dont want run over!) Johnny Mathis doing Winter Wonderland always makes me happy for some reason and Buck Owens doing Santa Looks a Lot Like Daddy always makes me giggle the first dozen times or so. I love Christmas and I didnt start celebrating it until after I was married. And in Minnesota its truly wonderful how folks get into the season. I got up from a nap yesterday after our community Thanksgiving dinner, and it was dusk, so I turned on the 63 ft (Dave told me thats what his crane said it was) pine’s multi-colored lights and leashed up George (the Basset) and Terry (short for Terrorist – a Terrior) to take them out for a walk and to look at the tree. It has snowed while I was napping and there was a blanket of white on everything. Everyone on our street must have had the same idea because lights went on up and down the street and a lot of us came out for a walk and to look at the beauty of the lights and their reflection on the new snow. We visited and smiled and just kept looking around us at all the lights and decorations. A couple of teen age girls started singing Jingle Bells and most of us joined in. My neighbor and friend Ruth, brought out a huge carafe of hot spiced apple cider and a bunch of mugs and we drank it and visited and then by some mutual unspoken agreement, we all sang Silent Night, smiled and hugged some more, and said good evening. As I walked home, one of the teen age girls came up next to me on her way home as well, and said to me, “This was wonderful. I will remember tonight all of my life.” I couldnt help it, I cried a tear or two and hugged her. She is right, she will.And so will I.

I hope your holiday was blessed and that the one coming will be wondrously full of the joy of the season!Fully Formed Friday Hugs ((((((( CAPPERS ! )))))))

yes, he is…Bakersfield….and so is Merle Haggard now…and Dwight Yoakum….lol…and yes, its that Buck Owens and that song!! Thank you for the link…:-}

That sounds Cool… I hope the dust didn’t make you sneeze.

(Ewwwwwww!)

You must be good at DIY then. After learning from Joe.

I don’t know the first thing about the subject. It’s masculine and as you can tell by my Avatar and comments.. I’m the opposite of masculine.

But I still like reading your comments and updates.

I never saw that programme (the Irish priest one). I was a fan of Dave Allen (a very irreverent Irishman – but funny).

The horse has fallen Andy, and can’t get up!

Linda, I shed a tear or two after your post; Here in North Carolina we really love the lights,the Christmas Cantatas at church, the pageantry of the parades and so much Christmas music. However, it is a rare time indeed when we are blessed with snow at Christmas. 2010 we had eight inches here. What a wonderful Christmas that was, even though noone made it that day we talked by phone and shared pictures through email. I got a picture from my brother, in south Georgia, they got a dusting. The last measurable snow we had had here was in 1947. That is for Christmas. Ours usually comes later in the season. My grands will have that one Christmas to remember for all of their lives and I will have that one for the rest of mine.>>God Blrss you all.

Sure wish I could type. Bless not blrss.

Oh how lovely…Thank you Guido!
