LOL.
Things have been a little crazy around here too. Long story made short...Neighbor girl dog in heat, Sarge going bonkers, Snippy and Sam get no sleep, two of Sam's children and a friend arrive during all this for a week of Christmas season fun. Sarge and Scarlett learn how to jump the fence, our company and us learn how to chase down the dogs, more than once. Now we have a dog door the dogs can no longer use until we figure out what to do. We still can't get any sleep. We're blessed but tired.
Love you guys, miss you all too.
I received a phone call this morning.
Merry Christmas, you have a new hi-rise project.
BTW, did we mention you're already months behind. Get to work.
Good morning, PE!
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Whoa, you do work don't you??
Please don't hurt me.
At least you know Sarge is straight.
Anyways have ya ever wondered what Santa Clause and the reindeer do on the long over water passages when the magic dust starts to wear off and they need a bit of a snack. Well here's the answer courtesy the fine folks at Macdonnell Douglas and the USAF...
Merry Christmas to all my friends at the Freeper Foxhole and may you have a Happy New Year.
Only three more nites to go, it's down hill from here on out!!!

Downhill? Downhill?!!
I've been working all week--just bought the turkey. Now I have to make two batches of fudge, five dozen Christmas cookies, a pistachio cake, eighteen deviled eggs, a pot of noodles, a salad, a pan of dressing, a pot of green beans, a pot of wassail, and roast the stupid turkey--and that's after I clean the bathrooms and vacuum again.
Downhill? Downhill?
hobbit walks away muttering.
And where is the Hobbit Lass in all this?
I just made the mistake of looking my the work schedule for the last 2 weeks. Counting next week I will have logged 14 straight days at work, 4 day shifts, 7 night shifts and 3 day shifts. That was what the "downhill" reference was about.
After all 12 hour shifts are fun, fun, fun.
I have to brine the turkey when I get home from work Christmas Eve morning and then prep it before I go to work Christmas Eve night. At least I am off Christmas nite, only because I have to work Tuesday day shift.
The Inferenal Revenuers will like me :-(
Oh and Merry Christmas to the family
Regards

One of these days I'll get one of those automatic houses where the cleaning magically gets done and meals appear on the table. I just remembered I have to get out the china and hand wash the year's dust off. sigh........
I'm sorry you have to work Christmas. My sis does too, which is why I almost always host Christmas now. If we lived closer, you could feast with us. You'd just have to put up with my crankiness for a few days. Well, only Hubby and Hobbit Lass have to put up with it. I'm cheery for guests.
Hobbit Lass is off being a teenager. The dog, however, wants to help.

READ: Luke 2:8-14
[Mary] brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths. —Luke 2:7
The full-page advertisement in the newspaper caught my eye immediately. Near the top of the light-blue page was the silhouette of a star. In the center of the page were the words:
It’s a boy.
Luke 2:11 was printed across the bottom of the page: “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord” (niv).
This simple message—it’s a boy—proclaimed the indescribable gift of a Savior who came to earth as a baby. Why did He do it?
We needed God to send Jesus. Because of our sin, we were separated from a holy God (Rom. 3:23). A perfect Savior and mediator was needed to bring us back together. Only God could restore the relationship.
God wanted to send Jesus. He loved us so much that He gave His Son (John 3:16) so that our relationship could be restored. Jesus was the only One who could meet His demand for a perfect sacrifice—only He was sinless (Heb. 9:11-15). He willingly gave Himself on the cross. God accepted that sacrifice and raised Him from the dead.
Because of our need and His love, God the Father gave us the gift of Jesus the Son. Accept His gift today—it’s free.
I will be working, still, the next two nights so let me take this moment to wish everybody at the Foxhole and FR a Merry Christmas amd a Happy New Year.
Best Regards to ALL

Get busy! LOL. It's good to have work, Merry Christmas. :-)
Oh yeah. He's all male dog, that's for sure. Miss Tilley has been fixed now but the vet says she will still continue through the 'cycle' so we have about 10 more days. Yippeee.
Merry Christmas alfa6. All work and no play....
