Takin' The Show On The Road!!

I just wanted to share some of the video my daughter-in-law shot on our last visit.
We are playing on stage in our grandson's band. 
Can you guess what songs we are singing??
 

The answer is  . . .
 
 "Tip Toe Through the Tulips" & "Chicago Japan (an original!)"

Here is another original!
This was written by our grandson about himself as if he were our son.
Got that?
"You Are My Son (Yes You Are)"

 I'm not sure where the musical talent comes from.
It certainly does not come from our side of the family.

More Signs of Christmas

A few more signs of Christmas are now around the house.
 This is the fiber optic village that my sister-in-law gave to us for Christmas many years ago.
I love the changing colors!

In honor of Mojo & in memory of two wise men, a shepherd & sheep.
When we were still living in Kokomo the nativity scene was always set up on the 
coffee table in the living room.  The dogs were not supposed to go past the barricade blocking off the entry & living room.   One day I noticed some bits of plastic in the family room & I knew that Mojo had been chewing on some toy.  That was nothing unusual!  
 It took me awhile to discover exactly what had happened though.  Days later when I went into the living room I noticed  two wise men were missing from the nativity scene plus a shepherd boy & some sheep were also missing.  Obviously Mojo had disregarded the barricade & thought the plastic figurines were great chew toys.  
This is the first year that I have set up the nativity scene since we moved to FL.  
It brings back great memories!!

The stocking are hung by the chimney with care.
Santa has already found our house!

MERRY  CHRISTMAS  EVERYONE!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

It is nice having the poinsettias bloom for more than one year. 
We buy them for $4 at Walmart & put them in pots by the front door.

When they are done blooming we plant them in the ground (sand) around the house.
We have beautiful flowers the next year & then we repeat!

I got in the Christmas decorating mood the other day.
While listening to Christmas music here is what I accomplished.










MERRY CHRISTMAS!
