Merry Christmas Eve, Eve My Friends!With the exception of being a baby, this is the least prepared I've ever been for a Christmas. I realize I have a day left BUT here I am in the office with an appointment at 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM and I'm blogging too.Things seemed so much easier when the kids we...

I LOVE ART! All kinds of art fills our home and it always has. Back 50+ years ago I loved sculpture, wood working, literature, commercial printing, and of course music. There have been a lot of little detours, or as my friend Thomas J. Nelson, REALTOR ® CRS,ABR,PSA,RCS-D, ePRO says, "Rabbit Holes...

I wish the snow would melt the same day we got it but that rarely happens, especially this time of year. At 6AM this morning Timmothy and I were out cleaning up a little more snow from the previous dumping.Unlike Santa's sleigh the Timm family uses automobiles and it's no fun to get stuck in our ...

This time of year it's hard not to break out in song. Often we sing for and in the joy of traditional Christmas Carols. Sometimes in the merriment of twisting and old carol as kids do/did with a song like We Three Kings.We have been listening to the sounds of Christmas since Thanksgiving in our h...

I don't remember being overly curious about my gifts under the tree and in the house I grew up in the stocking were not hung until Christmas Eve night. In our house we hang the socks up after Thanksgiving so we can put little treats in them right up to Christmas morning.My sister on the other han...

This past Saturday we drove to Garrison North Dakota to partake in The Dickens Festival, the official Christmas Capital of North Dakota. This event is an all weekend event held the last week of November and each December weekend preceding Christmas. The event is 30 years old and it gets bigger ev...

I am NOT for mandatory shots and I am embarrassed to admit I got the first two covid19 shots because of the fake news outlets and the outgoing administrations fear campaign. That being said, I am a senior and I usually get the flu vaccine.Remember shots in school? The opening scene from my favori...
