The Wait is Over...(almost).....

CBS This Morning reports that unless you have been under a rock somewhere, you are impatiently waiting the return of Downton Abbey  Tomorrow Sunday on Masterpiece Theatre on PBS.

It will be really interesting to see what madness Shirley MacLaine will add to the story .  I can't imagine she will be a match for Maggie Smith, how could anyone...

I read that someone wrote that watching the show is like watching a play, only better,  and that every person in the Downton Abbey picture has a story plot.   I caught up with it when Laura, our librarian, said I should watch it.  I can't believe I missed the first season, I must have been under that rock they talked about.

I hope your Saturday was good and you are looking forward to church and Downton Abbey tomorrow.

Christmas children 2

Hello Kitty and Merry Christmas

I was having my coffee when I hear a soft knock on my door.  She's my little neighbor girl  who comes over to play with John Michael.  How could any Christmas morning be sweeter than this!

Please hold and keep us, dear Father above,
please send us flowers and children to love...
peace in our homeland, work to provide...
friends to hold onto, and faith to abide.

Merry Christmas to all, you are so dear to me!

Christmas Music for my friends...

My angels take on Christmas......

A little scarey, but not too much.....

A little worried, but not too much

I think all we need is a good hair stylist and we will be ready!


I see I got a complaint about not posting .  I am intimidated by all the beautiful posts lately, and if you made angels that look like these, would you post them?  Their hair and eyes are not in keeping with their dresses and they look a little wild.  But they are what they are.

I am behind in other things too.  I was puzzled by all this Elf on the Shelf stuff.  My friends tell me the story will be on TV tonight at 9:30 so maybe I can get up to snuff  on the Elf!

I hope you all are enjoying the season.  It is so mild here that I have been able to work in the yard a little.  I'm going to John Michael's Christmas morning and I am enjoying the pictures of Betsy and Kyle and their Christmas in Kentucky.  Happy Friday everyone.
