Favorite Bathrooms

  • Home Sweet Home
  • When I'm @ someones house: the one farthest away from the crowd
  • @ the Mall: Macy's (as public bathrooms go this one is very nice)
  • If I can't make it to Macy's...JC Penney's will have to do (they recently remodeled so it is better than it was. I don't know why they didn't ask for my input???)
  • Monterey Bay Fish Grotto in Monroeville has a great bathroom
  • Ponte Vedra Inn and Club, My fav place to vacation, their rooms have the most wonderful bathrooms

White Christmas and a Wonderful "Ladies Tea"

WHITE CHRISTMAS - ENCORE FILM SCREENING!
OAKMONT (Or as Pen says Oak-A-Mont)
Sunday December 15th - 2:00p
White Christmas (1954),
WWII vets-turned-entertainers scheme to help a retired general with his strapped New England inn by putting on a big musical show with the help of their army buddies and a singing sister act.


One of my favorite Christmas movies and a wonderful way to spend a Saturday with family and friends.
We start the day at K's house for a wonderful breakfast. Then off to the theater. If you love this movie you must, MUST see it on the big screen.


We even made some new friends

One of my favorite scenes in the movie is "Sisters"

but not this one :)
That one is great but my favorite is this one
Cracks me up every time.

After the movie we went to R's house for a lovely Ladies Tea (given by her mom Mrs. H)
She shared a Christmas devotional and Christmas memories with us and crocheted each of us a set of beautiful doilies

Problem + Solution + Better Solution Thanks to Santa's Elves

Once upon a time I had a beautiful prelit tree with all white lights. One of my favorite things to do during Christmas is turn the tree on and turn all the other lights out. I love sitting and looking at my beautiful Christmas tree.

This year when I put my tree up a few of the strands were out. No problem…I had a few small strands of white lights and I was able to use them to light up the dark areas.

Then a few days later I turned my tree on

Problem:

3/4 of the tree was out.

It was so sad looking.

Solution:
I put my LED snowflakes on the tree

A little better but still sad

Better Solution:
Santa's elves came along and put some colored lights on the tree


Much better now

Be a child at Christmas time


Be a child at Christmas time
With a merry heart aglow
Through a frosty window pane
You can see the falling snow


Trim the tree with candy canes
Listen to the church bell chime
Say a little prayer at nights
Be a child at Christmas time


Be a child at Christmas time
Listen to the church bell, church bell chime


Only children understand
What a merry heart can do
Be a child and you'll agree
Everything is bright and new


When the snow comes dancing down
And you hear the church bell chime
Let your heart be young again
Be a child at Christmas time

New River Gorge

On the way home we stopped at the New River Gorge. It was in full fall bloom…so beautiful.



Another opportunity for P to get another stamp in her book. The Passport To Your National Parks® program is a wonderful educational program for kids (and adults :)
