MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

[klaasend]

Santa is at Dana's house!!!

 


Whatcha get, Dana???

 

If you've got an inside track on where Santa is, can you ask him to leave me a shirt box when he gets here, please? I've scoured out every box in the house and I'm ONE short! 

Fold the shirt up really small and put in an odd sized box and they will never guess it's a shirt

Do you think a pantyhose egg would work? It's either that or an old crayon box!

Thank you all. I got back really late because I got there really late. I was stuck in traffic and quite annoyed until I finally managed to make it up to the source of the blockage....then my heart sank and I could not help but think of the family waiting for their loved ones to arrive for the holidays who would instead get a call or visit from the police. An SUV or van, not sure as it was so mangled, had flipped in the road, the entire top was sitting in the seat. It was an awful site and yet a needed reminder that we need to sometimes slow down and remember what and who are most dear to us as well as remembering that everyone is someones loved one. My thoughts went from that family to the families of the missing.. The family of the accident victims do have the knowledge of what happened to their loved ones, something the families of the missing do not have.. My thoughts and prayers are with all of them. My hope is that someday every family that has a missing loved one will get the knowledge of what happened to their loved one instead of being in a limbo of not knowing and my hopes for all my monkey family are that you all, each and every one, have a wonderful and safe Christmas with your loved ones close by you and hug one another and let each other know how much love there is for them.

Roll it up in aluminum foil then twist the ends.  Then tie a bow on each end and throw under the tree.

Hey Monkeys. Yesterday wasn't such a great day for me. I took over 1,100 lbs of pet food over to the local Meals on Wheels program (I created a pet food drive to feed the pets of homebound seniors) and on my way back I was in an accident. I was waiting to turn left at a light and a guy coming from another direction who was turning left to go south past me, hit me. He wasn't looking, he was on his cell phone. All I remember was his huge truck coming at my face. He smashed the front drivers side of my beloved Jeep.

The blessing is that I wasn't hurt and Grissom was not in the car with me. My friend came and got me and I cried all the way back to work. I then find out that I didn't have collision on my car. I thought I did. My lovely insurance company with whom I had gotten this policy a long time ago, never told me. Just lovely. So now due to Michigan's no fault insurance all I get is $500 and no car. The truck that hit me, was just fine and left after the police report.

I just don't know what I'm going to do about transportation. I'm going to have to get another car, I would like a Jeep wrangler again, but I don't know what I can afford. I'm waiting for the adjuster to call me today. Maybe, just maybe, the car is fixable. A girl can dream can't she?

That Jeep was a 1998 Jeep wrangler. It was the very first vehicle I bought all on my own after my divorce. It was quite an accomplishment and I loved her dearly. She was purple. Every night when we got home I would pat her on the hood and say thank you. She served me well.

I'm so sad today. I'm trying to keep my spirits up and am so very thankful I'm OK and Grissom's OK. It could have been worse. But still I lost a very important part of my past and my independence today. Say a prayer for me.

Thank you, love Boo

Boo I am so sorry to hear about your accident. But thankful you and Grissom are okay. I do understand how you feel about your jeep and what it meant to you. I truly believe God works in mysterious ways some times. That if he closes a door on our past he will open a better one for our future. Prayers for you that you will have a wonderful out come from this tragic event. God Bless You.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

Merry Christmas, San!


I see you have had to hire a guard this year for the tree to keep the puppies out,

 


How many strings of lights did they chew through?

 

[Bearlyhere]

Trimmy, I hope Santa stopped to pick you up!  He is in Hawaii!!!  Make sure he drops you off after that because he will be heading back to the North Pole!

Roll it up, wrap paper around it leaving extra wrap on the ends, tie ribbon on the ends and curl it so it looks like a wrapped piece of candy.

I don't ever want to get that phone call again!  My heart goes out to that family.
