Some of you are having trouble reading all of my blog. It won't scroll down. I have no idea why it does this, but here is the fix. When it happens to me I go to view, the text size and then smallest, and then immediately click view, text size and put it back so I can read it. Then I can go all the way to the bottom...Have no clue here why, but it works. Occaissionally I run across this in other blogs too, and it works.
Try again TW!!!

DECEMBER 7...
I was just over at TX's placeAnd he made comment about visiting places in his career that were still visible from Dec 7, 1941.
When I was 8 years old we were stationed in Hawaii. We lived on Ford Island, right in the middle of Pearl Harbor. Our housing area, was across the runway and situated on the edge of the water, right next to several of the battleships that were destroyed. I remember going to the edge and looking down on the rocks and seeing all of the oil still seeping up from the sunken relics. There was a ship over on it's side, with it's bottom facing towards us. I can't remember the name of the ship, but I think I was told it was the USS California...Don't know.The bottom was all brown and rusty, even after only 13 years. I remember walking into the Movie Theater and the Base Hospital, and seeing the holes in the concrete where the bullets from the Japanese planes had hit. They were not repaired. It was really thick concrete, so the scars still showed, and the building was still very functional.
To get to school, I had to take a bus across Ford Island, along the water and over to the Boat Launch where we were put on a NAVY Launch and taken across Pearl Harbor to the school on the main island. I can remember going across the water by the USS ARIZONA (way before the memorial was built) and being told that there were still 1000 men in the ship under the water. It gave me a spooky feeling, to look at that water and think that there were dead people in there. I could see the ship under the very dirty and oil water, and that vision has never left my memory.
It didn't really sink in until I was older and was learning more about US History. Knowing that I was there 13 years after the beginning of WWII boggled my mind. That war was ancient history or so I thought. Little did I realize that men to this very day still around in coffee shops on every base in the country and re-live their experiences of that war. Some even bring in their mementos to pass around and share. SOme wear in their medals, and it is awe inspiring to see these grizzled, old wrinkled men that you have known the majority of your life, and know that they were right there fighting a war where you once slept. You would think that the world would learn from these wars wouldn't you? Why don't we listen to old grizzled, wrinkled men? They have been there, they know...

Subject: Hillary Goes To School
Hillary Clinton goes to a primary school in New York to talk about
the world. After her talk she offers question time. One little
boy puts up his hand, and the Senator asks him what his name is.
"Kenneth" replies the boy.
"And what is your question, Kenneth?"
"I have three questions: First - whatever happened to your
medical health care plan? Second - why would you run for
President after your husband shamed the office? and Third -
whatever happened to all those things you took when you
left the White House?"
Just then the bell rings for recess. Hillary Clinton informs the kiddies
that they will continue after recess.
When they resume Hillary says, "Okay where were we? Oh,
that's right, question time. Who has a question?"
A different little boy puts his hand up; Hillary points him out and
asks him what his name is.
"Larry." says the boy.
"And what is your question Larry?"
"I have five questions: First - whatever happened to your medical
health care plan? Second - why would you run for President after
your husband shamed the office? Third - whatever happened to all
those things you took when you left the White House? Fourth - why
did the recess bell go off twenty minutes early? And fifth -
what happened to Kenneth?"

Now I'm not sure if any of you would have gotten it if Leslie hadn't !!

TOMORROWS QUESTION...
What does Alvin want for Christmas?
easy one, but then they get really hard!!!!!
I think I will.....
I was planning to post this picture today and last night I saw one just like it on Leslie's site. Leslie said to post it anyway so I will...It is a great picture.
The other Night as I drove into rehearsal, I noticed CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!! Everywhere!! I actually was shocked!! I found it hard to believe that Christmas was almost here! I really was dumb-founded! REALLY!! For so many years, I have been dealing with Christmas starting with the setting of TOYLAND in July for an August opening. THen there were tons of TOy Layaways to deal with then it was right into setting up the Trim a tree shop and putting out the Christmas Giftware, then the softlines special apparel, and then the mad push to get out all of the cards and the wrap, the Christmas Linens, then move it all front and forward, and watch it as it sells to make sure it was still fresh looking, then the mad dash after Thanksgiving...It was a 6 month madhouse, but I was aware of CHRISTMAS. This year, for the first time in my grown up life I did not realize that it was that close!
That got me thinking...about getting ready, about shopping, (with no money) about decorating, about getting festive. I am going to start this weekend, by putting up the lights. Then tomorrow I will go into the woods and gather greens to line the railings with. Find a piece of plywood to balance the tree on the coffeetable with. (I have to Sadie-proof it) I always have a floor to ceiling tree. I swore that I always would and I have, through two toddlers, and MANY kittens, I have managed to keep a floor to ceiling tree. This year I don't DARE! I know what would happen. Sadie would be under it after one of the cats, probably Loki, and she would take off and get tangled in the lights, and pull EVERYTHING off the tree, then the tree would fall, and I would Yell, and cry, and throw a fit. So Prudence being the better point of valor, (or something like that) I opted for a smaller tree. A 4' square of plywood on top of the coffe table up against the wall with a 4' tree on it.
My daughter even came home and told me that I have to bake cookies for her to take to work! Hell I didn't even take cookies to MY work! So I drug out the cookie books and the recipe box, and now I need to go buy the ingredients to make all of this. Then I have to take a picture of it and send the recipe and the pic to Kimmotion for her cookie exchange. Is this how real people live? Cramming Christmas into just 1 or 2 months? How do you DO it?
I am even going to send out REAL Christmas cards!! I have not done that in YEARS!! I only got addresses from four of you so Brenda, Wanda,CJ and Leslie get cards, but I guess the rest of you don't becasue you did not send me your address. (dreamer(at)galaxynet(dot)com) ( my daughter said that is how to stop spam. so take the at and dot and put the real thingies in and there you go.) If you would like a card, otherwise....NADA!!
It is a gorgeous morning today. THe rain has stopped and the we are having sun-breaks, the clouds are spotty, and the wind is slight. and FRESH. THe birds are begging for more sunflower seeds. For the first time this year, I have left the Niger feeder out, and full , and I have GOLDFINCHES at it. I thought they all left for the winter, but obviously not. THey do chance color though, and are quit muted in their coloring. I have the feeder hanging right in front of the office window, and the birds have gotten used to eating with 4 cat noses plastered on the window less than a foot from where they eat. Occaisionally one of them will get spooked, but most of them are just taunting the cats.
The doves are all lined up on the fence top with their feathers all fluffed up, just waiting for their food. The winds yesterday , blew all the seeds onto the ground. So I guess I had better get dressed and go feed them. Then I need to get this house ready for CHRISTMAS!!! Whoo-hoo!!!

Ok forum open here!!
Now THIS I believe...
Christmas in Washington, D.C.
The Supreme Court ruled there cannot be a nativity scene in Washington, DC this Christmas. This isn't for any religious or constitutional reason, they simply have not been able to find three wise men and a virgin in the nation's capitol.
There was no problem, however, finding enough asses to fill the stable.
Thought You'd like this one Wanda!! LOLOL

It's a quarter to three, theres no one in the place except you and me....
Well no one except me and Frank Sinatra. Actually it's a quarter Past three, but that didnt fit into the song right. I went to bed and fell right to sleep and I woke up to pee, and now Im wide awake. I have to be very quiet so I won't wake up Sadie. Cause then she will have to go outside, and with Mr. Starving Coyote around, I will have to take her out and stay there while she does her thing. SHe smells the coyote and barks and runs toward the fence, like "COme on Dude, Let's go to it, I may be small and cute, but I can beat you". She couldnt of course, she would be dinner for sure. Big Bad Bandit on the other-hand wont go down off the deck. "not me, Gramma, THere's a mean coyote out there"
Rehearsals are coming along fine, we have most of the dance routines Choreographed and blocked. THe songs are coming along also. I get the stage in two weeks and then I can start blocking the rest. Just as we get it all coming together the Playhouse will close for two weeks for the Holidays. When we open, it will be only 15 days on stage and then we open. ARRGGHH I'm really getting nervous. We still have had no conformation from Fernando as to whether he will be playing Jesus. He was going to be out of town until Dec 6. Guess I'll know more then. I am really getting tired this is the 4th show in 5 months that I have done, and I am looking forward to a rest. I really want to finish my quilts, and I really want to get my house painted. It is really looking shabby on the inside. And I need to get out there and try walking...My arse is getting bigger and I have never had an arse before. Big on top, but no butt, and bird legs. I was on my feet for 37 years, now it really feels good to sit, but today I went down to the beach, and watched the waves crash up against the rocks, and I really wanted to get out and WALK!! I could not get to the beach because the tide was in, and I had the wrong shoes on anyway. Birkenstocks are no good for walking. Need my Tennis shoes for that.
I have more pictures to post of Sadie and her new "do" but I will wait until tomorrow to post them.
Don't forget to read all the posts, not just the QUIZ!!! dont have to comment, actually dont have to read. just look at the pictures.

Tomorrows question....
In "The Night Before Christmas", what type of headgear did Momma wear?
FIRST HAIR CUT!
Isn't she pretty? Looks all grown up now.. She has had all of her shots, rabies included and her first haircut, and has an appointment to be spayed Feb 2, sigh....seems like just yesterday she was a baby...
MY BABY IS GONE!!!!! She is at the groomers for the first time... I've never left her with anybody before! She cried when I walked out of the room!! I hope she is a really good girl. Mariah was a really good girl there, although she did not like to go. Sadie will be getting her first Puppy cut, which basically means they will trim her feet, her ears, and her muzzle and leave her feathers to grow some more. (Yes Kat, Dogs DO have feathers...) (Ya know I can just see Kat and Don both laying on their stomachs pounding the floor with their fists in laughter.) I can't pick her up for another hour!! I came home and Bandit and Loki both looked all over for her. She is such a presence in this house now. She definately keeps us on our toes!!! I will have to remember to take the camera and get a picture before she gets all dirty. I just know she is gonna head right out to the dirt pile and roll all over in it.
It is a BEEEEOOOOTIFUL day today. The calm between the storms. Yesterday it started blowing really hard, and then it DUMPED rain!! this is so weird for us. The wind isn't but the rain is. We ususally only have .01 inches in a day, all in the form of mist. yesterday it was 3.0 inches in Seattle. Now the sun is out, the wind is calm, it is chilly, and the birds and squirrels are feeding at the feeder.OHMIGOD!!!......A COYOTE RIGHT THERE!!!!! Hang on..........
I don't believe it! right at the back fence! Looked almost like a Hyeena! no fur on its tail or back end. just on its head and front end. I shooed it away, and it tucked its tail and ran, Time to load up the pistol. I have a 38 special 2" barrel stainless steel pistol that I have fitted for 38 bird shot. that'll hurt like hell. Illegal, here, but I don't think the neighbors would mind once they knew what I was shooting at. I guess i will have to rethink keeping Sadie out un-watched for awhile. I'm sure Bandit would scare away a coyote, but I ain't gonna risk it!! This dude looked really hungry!! I'm sure that Cocker meat would taste just lovely to him. I had heard them off on the highway but I have NEVER seen them this close before. and never in daylight, always at night.
OH NO!!! I hope Lola stays in the trees!!!!!!! Hey DON!! Come shoot this Guy for me...Or TW, Send the hunter!!

Question for Day 3.....
What US City lights the Christmas Tree on the Ellipse?
Ho Hum
I just finished my morning coffee, and daily walk through all of your blogs. Now I have a question. Several times I have seen where people apologize for "lurking" or not posting a comment. Didn't know you HAD to. I don't. Sometimes I don't say anything, sometimes I do. I don't care if you do here or not. I do not know how to see who visits from where, I enjoy reading the comments, but please don't feel obligated. I have several blogs I read that I don't always agree with, and those I just quietly slip back out and continue my surfing. I fully respect your right to vent on your own blog. I am the visitor, and I can always go home. Continue venting there people. I intend to.
Ok..Now is there an EASY way to make your blog Christmasy without going in and rewritting the entire thing? I have been playing with fireworks, and dreamweaver, but still afraid to do anything major. I guess what I really want is a template on my original blog that Will allow me to easily change the color and the top pictures. I think I can figure the rest out. Do you have to delete the original and paste in a new one? is there a really good site for free help? I do appreciate the help I have gotten from you guys, it has really brought me a long way from the first posts I did.
I need to get my Christmas tree. But OH GOD!! How am I gonna do it with Sadie? I always have at least a 6' tree. THis year I might just go with a small table tree. How sad is that? The weather is sposed to be good, so I might get out the lights and get those up around the roof line. GOSH I can do it in bits and stages this year, I HAVE TIME!! TIME!! TIME!! I even might bake some of those Christmas cookies that I have been hearing about for years and years. WOw. ANd I could make a gingerbread house!! WOW!! and I could go out into the woods and get some greens to make a wreath instead of buying it. WOW! Now all I need is someone to clean the house every day so It stays looking good.
Yikes Sadie has a DR. Appt. Gotta go...

Christmas Quiz...day2
