Happy New Year!

Tonight I got a phone call from my sisters, and they invited me out for dinner. Then we went to my niece's place to hang out and played some game. The night was fun. I hope all you have a good New Year..
I got this tiara from my eldest sister and it's said Fancy Nancy on the package . Who knew, it was for children but I don't care. Thanks big sis.




Hugs, Nancy

Something new..

Over the weekend my folks went to a funeral service for all the firefighter who died in a propane explosion where they worked.My father knew a few of them so they went. I felt so bad that this happened about 25 years ago. I was in high school when this has happened. I know that we're pouring out our sympathy to all those in a line of duties..So, I want to share this with all of you and I'm sure somebody have somebody they deeply cares for. Such as Uncle, Father, Brothers and even Mom ,Sister, and Aunt and as well as friends.Friends of family or family of a friend.

FYI NEW BACKGROUND..

Just to let you know that I change my background and template.This way you can see the blog pictures better. I am still learning the new tool.I don't like the cutest blog on the block logo on my header.I do like their stuffs. It's should be in the right side of page.So the toolbar etc. on side are on the bottom. I'm just playing. Is there anyone know how can I keep full pics and those accessories on side? Let me know. Followers have to signs on the bottom of page for now.Thanks for your cooperation and understanding..

Over?

Man, I can't believe Christmas is over. So much came around and it was like, (Did we just have Christmas?) Yes, its went by fast.Anyway, Christmas Eve we had everyone over and even the grandkids and great-grandkids. They had a visitor and he was Santa. MORE Pictures on their way..Sorry about the big pix. Did what I was told..




We stopped over on the side street and check out these people house and look at their displays. (Noo, this is not my house.)






until next time..

Here's something for the kids.....

I won't put anymore Nativity scenes, Some were too small and there's so many of them.This is not my collections, this is someone else's. I just visit a local church and the guy collected them..I will keep posting soon. Time to go to bed here..sigh

Happy Holidays!

Just in case things get of hand. We will celebrating Christmas here at my parent's house. I like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.I probably won't be able get on and compute because there are some last minute things to take care of.Yes, we had a nasty storm here in the northeast. Today the record high was
19 degrees.brrrr...Happy

Baking and shopping

I know it's while since I have written. MY mother and I went shopping the past week,baking some cookies and hopefully we'll get our wrapping done over the weekend.Oh, by the way, I had celebrated my birthday this past Sunday the 14th. I couldn't get on the computer for a few days. I don't actually own this one but my Father does. He love his toy alright.So, I couldn't blog as I wanted to. Hopefully I"ll get one for myself.

We went out for dinner at a local place that have barbecue ribs and chickens. mmm!
Early that day we went to a local church and saw some Nativity scenes and they're beautiful! The pastor at the church have over 250 Nativities and the lady that was volunteering said he have more.Talk about a collection. The best part is, they're from all over the world. Did you think that I can resist not taking any pictures? Of course I did.I will show a few and put some in Smilebox greetings before the weekend.(fingers cross).

This is my favorite..
still don't know where this one came from. The guy didn't leave alot of informations on a few of the Natavities.Stay tune..
There will be more and I promise.Please do not snag these are my photos, thank you. N

Donna
had to go to the hospital today,(Wed) and get those arteries check and cleared. Whatever you call the procedures. The Doctors couldn't clear the arteries, they're still block. Now, she is a little disappointed with the situations.Now she's home. She may have to wait another month or two. Who knows, she'll be back blogging any time soon.~Hugs~
PS I forgot about this fairy Donna had made.

~COMMUNITY CHALLENGE~ ORNAMENT...

I haven't done this before, I was cleaning out a box and found this ornament.. I had this for about 20 some years. This was my first ornament I had bought for myself. I was hoping there were more than this doll,but I haven't seen anymore since then. Should've bought 3 or 4 at the same time. Oh, well life goes on..

Here is my ornament..

Busy Beaver

I'd been so busy that I can't keep up..>sigh< We'd been shopping Sunday and got just about everyone on my list done..I still couldn't find anything for my great niece, who is 5. I'll go to Target or else for her presents. I'll get her done eventually, girls, they can get anyrging from me..(Ha-ha). So we got some more decoratings done but our basement/family room area needs to be done. It'll get there. Have a good night.

Flowers and etc.

Over the summer my brother, niece and nephew in-law and I went to a concert in late August. He had won tickets for four to see Kenny Chesney and I knew its too good to be true. No, it's wasn't Kenny Chesney it was Mark Chestnutt. Anyway we went and I took some real cool sunset snapshots. Look like its gonna rain,so the picture turns out better than I thought.
I also took some pictures from my backyard. The flowers were beautiful and blooming in the pots. These flowers were wild flowers and they were from my sister memorial that we attended and receives these seed for our planting to remember her by.The pink black eyed susan is from one of my sister's friend's backyard..As you can see the blue flower, the small one really turns out small alright.Look for the bug, it's was an unexpected picture. So in the meantime I like to share them with you. Enjoy!
I'll be off for the next few days for more decorating the house take care.>>HUGS<< NANCY

More snags and lunch

Today me and my folks went to lunch. I had to use the gift certificate from last Christmas. We haven't got a chance since my Dad fell and broke his hip in Feb. So, I'd been planning on it, but time seem to fail at all time. When Summer got here, everyone keeps coming back and use our pool. Since I been planning else fails. D's had her surgery and that the week I was planning but it wasn't her fault that was happening and including my niece's wedding too. So, today we finally went and good thing. Foods was delish! I had a garlic/buttered panini and 4garlic breads,(yum).It wasn't a big meal but just enough to fill me up 'til dinner. Who knows what we'll be eating later. It's started to snow where we ate, soon we head home, the snow stopped.

Christmas decorating

Yesterday we got some Christmas light up and the a lighted wreaths that we put on the front windows. There are three and one is in my bedroom. yeah you heard me. lol. we live in a ranch with an addition over the garage and that suppose to be the parents room along with walk-in closet and bathroom. We live here since last May. So, my folks gave me that room so they don't have to do the stairs.

We will do more decorating during the week or weekend. In the meantime I ran across some pictures for the Holidays, some are original cards and others what I have on the computer. So feel free to snag them if you like. Here are just a few.



Have a good day..

song

When I was in 3rd grade my class ans I sang this song
in a play that they called, "Brother-hood", I don't remember the play but sure knew the song, and it was Christmas time. As you can hear or see the music on bottom of the page I had the song in the list.

I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing (In Perfect Harmony)

like to build the world a home

And furnish it with love

Grow apple trees and honey bees

and snow-white turtle doves

I'd like to teach the world to sing

In perfect harmony

I'd like to hold it in my arms and keep it company

I'd like to see the world for once

All standing hand in hand

And hear them echo through the hills

"Ah, peace throughout the land"(That's the song I hear)

I'd like to teach the world to sing

(that the world sings today)

In perfect harmony

I'd like to teach the world to singIn perfect harmony

Id like to build the world a home

And furnish it with love

Grow apple trees and honey bees

and snow-white turtle doves
