I had planned on posting more blogs back in December. I had the pics taken, but didn’t get a chance to download them and resize them and put them in a blog post.

Soooo, since I have the pics and before I go ahead and delete them to make room for new pics, just a couple pics of things I mentioned with my daily hello/quote postings.

Nothing really special, a new stray cat that showed up and is here part time (the grey one)…

The church nearby that they furiously were trying to get reroofed before the snow and cold moved in ….

The Christmas goodies I made and gave all away….

And lastly a pic of one of my favorite Christmas gifts this year by one of my favorite persons.

And lastly a pic of my cat who also LOVES potato guy and keeps trying to steal him….

It doesn’t seem possible that it is the last week and the last Monday of 2025! I was googling for songs for the new year, but gave up as I wasn’t all that inspired by any of them. Maybe it is just the typical Monday blahs, or the wintery weather, or my own laziness. Something to think about if I pretend to make any New Year’s resonlutions.

I chose this song for today’s Music Monday for something different. Even though it came out several years ago, it is a fairly new song to me. I hope you enjoy it.

Have a favorite tune? Feel free to post it for today’s Music Monday.

Are you panicking yet? Still waiting on a couple things to arrive here, but I have got all of the holiday baking done that I am going to do this Christmas and it is packaged up and ready to go.

I ended up making 3 batches of chocolate chip cookies, 2 batches of molasses cookies, snickerdoodles, haystacks, and 7 layer bars, a batch of cherry mash, a jellyroll pan of chocolate fudge, and three batches of toffee. (Let’s just not talk about the amount of butter, sugar, chocolate, and calories involved!)

I chose this song for today’s Music Monday as I always listen to it this time of the year. I love Gregorian chants, and I love the movie this song comes from. If you haven’t watched it, give it a try.

Link to the movie….

The above meme gave me a chuckle, and it’s a quiet reminder as I get ready to do some holiday baking and candy making this week to not sample too much. I already have had a ton of goodies delivered to me in the mail that I have been picking thru to munch on… (Thanks Santa for the early gifts!)

It’s been a long time since I heard this song, and nobody does it better than Ray Charles. I hope you enjoy this song and feel free to post your own Christmas music, or any kind of tunes for this Music Monday.

Seriously Santa, let’s do better! (grin)

It’s that time again, so today I have chosen a song I stumbled upon on Youtube and thought it was a good reminder for us to remember those whom the holidays can be difficult or sad. I hope you take a moment to watch/listen to the video.

It’s December, so you know what that means! Yes, I am going there, Christmas music for the whole month. Feel free to scream along with the above meme. Extra bonus points if you watch the movie as well.

I chose this classic with the animated video for something fun and different. Have a favorite Christmas tune? Feel free to post it…or not. Totally up to you what you want to post for Music Mondays in December.

Here we are the buildup to Thanksgiving. Still going over my Thanksgiving menu, but I think I have it figured out. Thankfully my sister-in-law is making half of the meal and I am making the other half. It shouldn’t be too much of a scramble on Thursday to get it all done.

For today’s Music Monday I chose this song to give you all a giggle. It’s been a while since I have listened to it, and I hope it makes you chuckle as well.

Have a favorite Thanksgiving tune? Feel free to post it for today’s Music Monday!

Another week has rolled around with another Music Monday in store for the day.

I chose this song to get everyone in a positive mood. I hope it has you humming thru the rest of your day, and yes…. some of you are simply the best.

I stumbled across this singer on Youtube and I have to admit their style is very, very different. In fact this video has no real words. Listen to it and tell me what you think!

Have a favorite tune? Feel free to post it for today’s Music Monday!

Have a good week ahead bloggers!

I had planned on going out today to grab a few more pics, but with the rain that won’t be happening.

So I will just post the couple of pics I did take before time passes and I forget about them or they no longer are appropriate for the season.

While outside doing some fall cleanup, I did come across two wooly worms which unfortunately I wasn’t able to get a pic of, however they did show a lot of orange, so I am hoping that means a mild winter!

Have a good weekend everyone!
