Mostly about my backyard chickens. (Boring, I know), but there are a lot of us out here. Mine are only kept as pampered pets. I could eat a neighbor's chicken, but not MINE. There may be a comment on current events only if I get riled up enough. And there will always be a cartoon or a joke to cheer us. I promise to try my very best to respond to comments. Now I have to figure out how this blogger thingy works....

As you snuggle down for the night......
..... it just wouldn't be Christmas without this classic from our childhood!
As a child I used to sneak into the (forbidden) front parlor and listen to the complete A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens on old viynal records. The Victrola was a huge oak cabinet and it needed to be wound often. There were five records in the set. It took about 90 min. to listen to the entire thing. I was never disturbed during this time, my Grandparents knew what I was up to and left me to enjoy myself. (They were probably grateful that I was quiet for a change.) Merry Christmas and god bless us everyone.

What a wonderful memory! And yes, we do need God's blessings!
