JSM's BEGGING FOR BANNING #29 10/24/11 -

[Sister]

Morning Monkeys, it is cold outside. Hope you all stay warm and have a great day. 

Good morning JSM.  I put up a pre-lit table tree yesterday in memory of Nordie and all my other dogs.  It's on the mantle and has the decorations from them as well as a few others.  I put his leash beside the tree and pulled out the leash as the underskirt.  Just a thought for you dear friend.
It's warmish here and it's my day off! yeah!
Praying for you every day!

Anyone up for Cyber Monday?  I did most of my gift purchases online last year.  Not in the spirit just yet for Christmas.  That makes me sad - it has just been so stressful lately - seems like the holi
day would "lift" me but it is weighing on me now.

My kids are older now and need things like a new car that runs or a new laptop - YIKES!  I remember the days when a new Little Tykes toy would work just fine.  (They are spoiled by us - and there is not much I can help them with now in the way of "stuff" as 4Donks put it).

Someone said the "snow" word around here?  Ewww...

A great day to all the monks...Cad

Caddy, no cyber Monday for me.  We had our annual church conference yesterday after church (where a member of the cabinet comes) and we do reporting as to what we are doing.  It took 2 days just to photocopy all of the things (which is good!).  She also attended the worship services and critiques the service and my preaching.  Thank you Lord it went well.  I try to do local small business shopping for my list.  Thank goodness I am almost finished.  Do have a couple of dvds to buy for my Mom, but otherwise all I need to do is wrap 'em up.  Going to my sister Connie's tomorrow to put up her tree and then on Wednesday to my Mom's to help her.

Caddy...they are saying 2" of snow around here. This summer had the pipes in the barn winterized with heated wrap so am plugging it in and the heated water buckets are ready to go.
Black Friday at Tractor Supply was a piece of cake. Traffic was less than usual on the drive there and they had the trailer loaded with the wrapped pallet of dog food. They used a forklift to load the trailer but the shelter doesn't have one so 2 off duty employees and their families were there to go to the shelter to unload the food. Made my day to see people give up their day to help the animals. Sent a note to corporate HQs  complimenting their employees.

Thanks Giving dinner was great at my sisters' place but when I got home the 20' sliding gate wouldn't open. Picture me climbing over a 5' gate walking 2000' uphill to get the truck and tools and going down to fix the gate and then driving the truck back and walking down to get the car and drive it up. I believe there was no weight gain from the dinner. Meanwhile the donks heard me and were braying at the top of their lungs and that set off the dogs...never a lonely moment.

My gosh 4Donks! I would have had to call 911 after climbing the fence (if I could even do it for pity's sake!)!
Walking 2000' feet -- let's see, I may have made it home in a couple of days.
You're right, no weight gain at all.
How is Skeeter adapting!
Think of you often!
