DECK THE HALLS

Or in my case deck the apartment entrance from the hall. Oh thank you Amy-without you I would look like evey one

else. But you are special. Getting out the old decorations with the old $1.35 Santa from long ago was sweet. I love him. He sits at the door along with some other old relics and some decorations from many other countries that I havc collected. Threw much away when I moved. I will put a pre-lit small tree and some lights for my balcony Can't let the other folks here get ahead of me. I am playing my new Christmas album of MICHAEL BUBLE'. It is good and of course Elvis makes me cry. with I'LL HAVE A BLUE BLUE CHRISTMAS WITHOUT YOU, I'll make it Betty Boop

CHRISTMAS IS-A-COMING!!!!!!!

Christmas is coming around here for sure. All our halls are "decked" with beautiful decorations. The outside is also pretty and bright. I went to my storage cage to see what I saved. Enough I think to do it up right(with Amy"s help . Last year I was still in the house and I start to dip when I think of my first Christmas without my love. Pray for me as it is hard.

THE REST OF THE STORY

I did something wrong and lost my place. As I was saying--the play was a great success. Played to a standing only cheering croud. I had seven of my family plus Rob Hill{my pastor} to come. Even got roses from Mary Grace. I do not know who was on stage in my body but it was not me. I think I have been bitten by the acting bug. It was grest fun and good for me.

MUST SETTLE DOWN

Great day and four days in Pensacola. Had a good time seeing the Rhodes family. They were so good to me. I am a little trouble now and I appreciate the attention. Loved holding my new great-grand child. How sweet is that.? And the boys were so cute with little sister. Got to see Lindsay and her family too. They really like to get together too. I love that they do.

Hope tonight is good too as I will have family here. Wish us luck. I will head south to get away from my many fans. HA HA. More like I will be running from the BOOOOOOOS.

TOO BUSY---------

I have been busy and not the kind of busy you write about. I am looking forward to going to Whitney's with Linda and Joe for Thanksgiving. Will get to see that beautiful little Karis and two sweet boys. I will get to have Thanksgiving dinner around my old dinning room table where many good meals and fun was had. It has a good new home and I am glad. First will get the "show on the road" Tuesday and Monday both. I will be glad. It has been fun but I am getting ready to move on. I have no idea how I changed the type of this blog but I like it. Maybe it will stay around but . This computer has a mind of it's own or maybe it is crazy me. More later

CLOSET SALE

We had a giant sale. Ashley would have loved all the lovely old furniture. I took some sweater sets and jackets to sell. Things that were good but I was tired of. Havent heard the results but it all goes to the Employees Christmas Fund. We are not allowed to give tips so this is a way to show appreciation. They deserve it because I have never seen more dedicated people that serve us. It is cold this morning--31 degrees. Hope it stays that way--I like it. The SCVC{choir} is singing today. We are having Veterans Day program. I put little flags in my turkey"s wings for today.

ALL SAINTS DAY

It was All Saints Day and our church celebrates all the people who have died this year. Five from our church this year. Rev, Rob took each one and remembered some wonderful things about each one. He does an amazing job and I was so grateful to him for the things he said about Truman. It was very bittersweet and we all cried and laughed too. Cary, David. Tommy Amy. M. G. and of course Sophie in the choir. They lit candels for each person. I felt Truman's presence so strong. It has been seven months and so much has happened. I feel lost sometime but yet my memories are so wonderful and I feel I have made a lot of progress. Any way I am trying.

Burgers & Blues after Croquet

Big tournment and dinner on the Terrace(except it turned too cold for most to eat on terrace} Any way the food was good and music by Terry Miler was good too. Some 'clowns' dressed up. I saw a lot of witches and even SUPERMAN. So good to see people enjoying themselves. I sat at a table for eight. Some I already knew and like papaw I was friends with the rest before we left. He taught me well and I am glad. It makes life so much more fun. Now I will remove the witch and pumpkins and other Halloween decor and replace with Thanksgiving stuff. How fast time is going.
