Reminds me of "When Harry Met Sally" when Sally lugs her tree home (for some odd reason). I need to get the old movies out that have Christmas scenes in them.<br /><br />It's great your volunteering and that you have a cozy home to come back to. Enjoy the season!! :)Ileanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200869126695231050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753548867758581514.post-64267485137784248982012-12-06T05:54:59.345-05:002012-12-06T05:54:59.345-05:00Hilary -

So it's nice to come home to my peaceful place. Work is crazy this week.<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />G -<br /><br />I finally ordered one online - I just wanted a prelit fake one that was a little bigger, since I brought home so many of mom's ornaments. <br /><br />I forgot to answer Snaggle's question about my little tree - I haven't gotten that one out yet, but it will go in the pass through from the kitchen to the dining room as usual. <br /><br />Riot Kitty -<br /><br />I'll bet Vasil is lots of fun. That's nice that Blake is coming - you'll both enjoy that.<br /><br />The Elephant's Child -<br /><br />I think it is perfectly OK in that context and the way we use it here - lovingly exasperated. :)Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753548867758581514.post-59837921671325324332012-12-06T05:44:35.966-05:002012-12-06T05:44:35.966-05:00Snaggle -

Yikes - we don't want that to happen, for sure.<br /><br />We love our clients and don't make fun of them. <br /><br />Let's just say I'm looking forward to Saturday. :)<br /><br />Granny Annie -<br /><br />That's nice that you were thinking of your dad on his birthday.<br /><br />When niece Abby was little was was sick for a couple of days and her mom was expressing sympathy for her symptoms, and Abby looked up and said, "Bless my heart." :)<br /><br />Munir -<br /><br />I think you are blessed for taking care of elders. <br /><br />Joanne -<br /><br />It's complicated, I guess. :)Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753548867758581514.post-39509927491933122432012-12-06T01:06:11.083-05:002012-12-06T01:06:11.083-05:00Arriving home to a quiet place is blissful.

I often use it instead of wishing bad things on an individual. 'He has used the last of the milk and put the empty container back in the fridge. Again. Bless his heart.'Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753548867758581514.post-76067896237217365162012-12-05T19:42:30.320-05:002012-12-05T19:42:30.320-05:00We think Vasil McNut would go McNuts over a tree u...We think Vasil McNut would go McNuts over a tree unfortunately...but we may put up some lights.

Got that from our dad who let mother do the healing when we were sick and he brought the words and patted our heads. Especially thinking of my dad today on his birthday.<br /><br />Arriving home after a hard days work is the best feeling in the world. Be it ever so humble....<br /><br />Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753548867758581514.post-49493890326173738902012-12-05T06:43:15.152-05:002012-12-05T06:43:15.152-05:00As long as the trees aren't falling on cars n ...As long as the trees aren't falling on cars n are getting hauled on cars.... When are you getting your little tree out? <br />It's nice to think well of a confused client instead of making fun of them as often happens up north here. <br />Nothing like home after a long day- It's the best refuge. <br />Hope the rest of your week is less tiring!<br />Snaggle Toothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07197042129309670471noreply@blogger.com
