..."I AM NOT A CONSECUTIVE WRITER."

I'm back!

"MAYBE CHRISTMAS, THE GRINCH THOUGHT, DOESN'T COME FROM A STORE."

Life at the 'LastChance Ranch' has been running Full Steam Ahead!!

...now it is time to take a ((deep breath)),

HOW DID IT GET SO LATE SO SOON?

IT'S NIGHT BEFORE ITS AFTERNOON.

DECEMBER IS HERE BEFORE ITS JUNE.

MY GOODNESS HOWTHE TIME HAS FLEWN.

HOW DID IT GET SO LATE SO SOON

and enjoy the Season!

 "FROM THERE TO HERE, AND HERE TO THERE,

FUNNY THINGS ARE EVERYWHERE."

 Shows to see...

"TODAY WAS GOOD.

TODAY WAS FUN.

TOMORROW IS ANOTHER ONE."

Friends near and far to catch-up with...

(including ALL of my 'blog-land' Buddies!!)

"STEP WITH CARE AND GREAT TACT,

AND REMEMBER THAT LIFE'S A GREAT BALANCING ACT."

Decorating to be done...

"DON'T CRY BECAUSE IT'S OVER.

SMILE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED."

 Memories to love...

"Bell-tree" ('...everytime a bell rings...')

honoring J's Mom, who left us a few days before Thanksgiving; and others who will be missed throughout the holidays... 

 

 "I LIKE NONSENSE;

IT WAKES UP THE BRAIN CELL."

New 'toys' to play with...

We acquired this 'short' Concrete Bird Bath in Mid-November, and I KNEW it had to be part of our Holiday Displays... seems only appropriate it should hold a 'BIRD tree'!!

"YOU'RE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE

FOR THE SHAPE YOU ARE IN."

Dress-Up to play...

Sesame Shimmer was Happy to model the Courtly check Apron/Chef hat that we found this Summer, as long as it included her 'Festive Beverage' - garnished by TWEED!!

"ADULTS ARE OBSOLETE CHILDREN."

Traditions to be carried on...

(Annual Cookie-Baking just came to a close - GREAT time with my College Besties!! ~ and their kiddos!)

 

 "YOU HAVE BRAINS IN YOUR HEAD.

YOU CAN STEER YOURSELF IN ANY DIRECTION YOU CHOOSE."

and a time for reflection...

"UNLESS SOMEONE LIKE YOU CARES A WHOLE AWFUL LOT

NOTHING  IS GOING TO GET BETTER.

IT'S NOT."

*Dr. Seuss said it best, and all of the quotes are his!
