Oh fun!!! Now I want some popcorn! Maybe after my decorating is finished!! Party time everyone!!!
Some confusion here, my birthday is tomorrow, Nan and I are in the hotel in Duluth and will celebrate over the weekend.
So, none of your birthday greetings are belated, and most appreciated! May have pictures later.
Again, thanks and while I’m raising Cain and having fun, I hope all of you are doing the same.
A friend sent me this from Australia.
Twas the month before Christmas*
*When all through our land,*
*Not a Christian was praying*
*Nor taking a stand.*
*See the Politically Correct had taken away
*The reason for Christmas - no one could say.*
*The children were told by their schools not to sing,*
*About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.*
*It might hurt people’s feelings, the teachers would say*
* December 25th is just a ‘ Holiday ‘.*
*Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, cheques and credit*
*Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!*
*CDs from pop stars, an X box, an I-pod*
*Something was changing, something quite odd
It is rare to hear the word Christmas; it won’t touch your ears.*
*Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty*
*Are words that were used to intimidate me.*
*Through out the Government, there arose such a clatter*
*To eliminate The Lord Jesus, in all public matter.*
*And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith*
*Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace*
*The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded*
*The reason for the season, stopped before it started.*
*So as you celebrate “Summer Holiday”
*Choose your words carefully, choose what you say*
*Shout “Merry Christmas”
not “Happy Holiday !*
Please, all Christians join together and
wish everyone you meet during the
holidays a
“MERRY CHRISTMAS”
Christ is The Reason for the Christ-mas Season!
Meg, hope you don't push yourself too hard. :(
How cute!
I’m jealous you already have your tree up and decorated! Helping a friend do her house THIS weekend, and then we will do mine NEXT weekend.
Good evening, Jen.
A shotgun! Smart man ... I’ve been saying that I want a small pistol but no one takes me seriously.
Sure glad that you came out of lurkerdom today. It is great to see you.
Enjoy dinner and the movie.
Come back to see us soon. :)
I haven’t decided on how much to decorate. Marissa wants to do every room but I’m thinking living and dining rooms.
We’ll decide after her birthday. How can a 10 year old keep you so busy?
We started trap shooting and really enjoy it but the 12 gauge and regular 20 gauge is too big for me. So he bought me a youth size in 20 gauge. The stock and barrel are a little shorter than the regular version so it fits my short arms and is easier for me to hold. For a pistol, I really like the Springfield Armory XD. The trigger is so smooth! We have the larger XDM and I can shoot it with great accuracy but it’s big for my hands. So the XD is the best size for me. We’re hoping to sell the Glock and get an XD soon as one comes in at the gun shop.
Thanks again for the birthday wishes. It’s good to hear from you!
Thank you!
I haven’t shot anything for many years. Hubby had a 410 shotgun that I used to like. Didn’t have a kick. LOL
Sorry to be away for so long but I received a phone call from Texas earlier.
It was a cousin that I haven’t seen or talked to for about 10 years. It was great to hear from him and to get the latest news on my Texas relatives.
Get to a range and try a few handguns and find one you like. Hubby and I really enjoy going to the range for our “ballistic therapy” and also trap shooting - which we just started. It’s so fun to see the clay pigeons get blown to bits in the air!
We used to shoot ‘clay pigeons’, too. (Until my husband (ex) got all upset because I never missed - and he never hit.) LOL!
I’ve been on the phone to Texas, too, with a cousin who lost her husband three weeks ago, and is trying to cope with a 34 year old mentally challenged daughter - alone.
It was hard to hear the tears, and not be able to hug her!
Me, too, Polly. I won’t even get my ears pierced. LOL!
You’re a natural! I hit one about half the time, but I just started. Hubby is better but he’s had guns all his life. Our kids enjoy it too, so they’re getting shotguns for Christmas - for trap shooting and home defense. I even bought a pink camo pop gun for our 3-year-old granddaughter. Her mom and dad will love that! Hee! :D
