Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Us to You
From our house to yours. Peace.
Thursday – A Little Personal – Lucy and Twiggy’s Christmas Wish
“Hey, Twiggy. Why so, glum? It’s Christmas Eve.” “I’m still worried about biting that light on the tree.” “Why worry? Mom took care of you. She has made it impossible for you to reach the tree.” “That’s true. Do you think Santa will know? About the bulb, I mean.” “So even if he does know. […]
Wednesday Story Day – AKA – Hump Day
It is Wednesday Story Day again, and last week, we found out Andre was trying to start a new life. So much for that since he was found dead in the Mercedes when the train got to France. We don’t know much more than that. I see Pricilla is just getting off her cell […]
Tuesday – Anything Possible – More Lights of the Season
Since Keith Channing is taking a break, I thought it would be fun to put up some more festive lights. These are all homes in the neighborhood. I wish I could have saved these for another Views tour but next week will be after Christmas and we will have had enough by then. (My guess) […]

Top Ten Things Not to Do at the Lighting of the First National Christmas Tree at the White House by Calvin Coolidge in 1923
This post ran last year at this time. Since the history news is pretty light this week, I decided to run it again. Wishing you a terrific Holiday. This week marks the anniversary of the lighting of the first national Christmas tree on the White House grounds by Calvin Coolidge on Christmas Eve in 1923. […]
Views of the Neighborhood – Trail of Lights
The bus is ready, and tonight, we are serving to start sourdough crostini with sundried tomato, garlic, and fresh basil aioli. We have assorted seafood for an entree, including blue crab cakes from the Chesapeake Bay, Fresh seared Ahi Tuna, and Nova Scotia Salmon. Our meat course is applewood fire-grilled lamb loin chops. Both come […]
Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – Magnet
It is Stream of Consciousness Saturday, and this week’s prompt was sent by e-mail. I miss Linda’s visits, but I can understand that she can’t get to the 10,000 folks who like her prompts every week. This week’s prompt is “magnet”, and of course, Linda says we can use it any way we […]
Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF
The last Friday before Christmas is here. I hope everyone has their shopping done. If not, I know special handling (To be read “Big Money”) can get those gifts delivered on time. You have to hurry, though. Time is running out. It has been a quiet week. I did have one hiccup on Word Press. […]
Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Lucy – At Loose Ends
“What do you say to stop sniffing grass and head for the patio?” “I think that s a good idea. I’ve read all these messages anyway.” “The sun feels food even though it’s only 48 degrees.” “You are so right, Lucy. I can feel it. The patio will be even better.” “Hey, wait a minute. […]
