Wild Weather !!!
I'm sure most of the rest of my fellow-bloggers got
some of the crazy weather that came thru with this
Nor'easter this weekend. Here is a forcast for today
here in Galax. Notice the wind speed. We had gusts
in the 50's -maybe some low 60's Sunday night.
We lost our power early Sunday night and didn't have
any all night. We had wind gusts in the 50's - maybe
some low 60's all night. There is one fence post
between me and the North Pole, and the fence post
is not stopping much wind!!!
Other than that, LIFE IS GOOD !!!

From Mikayla
I am 8 years old now, and I had a great Birthday
party. The table was decorated so pretty with Pink Poodle plates and napkins.
I also liked my cake because it had pink, green and purple swirls on it. It said "Happy 8th Birthday Mikayla".
The people that was at my party was: Kylee, Emily, Kari, Kaitlyn, Brooklyn, Anna Grace, Ame and Natalie. It was a lot of fun playing with them. We got to do sun-catchers and that was a lot of fun too. I got a lot of nice presents and one of them that I like the most was a drawing kit.
After we had the party we went to the mall and we went to Build-A-Bear. It was a lot of fun building a rabbit and Natalie got a monkey. That was fun also.
Here is a picture of my sister Natalie. She is a wild child.
Love, Mikayla

What A Beautiful Day !!
I just got back from lunch. Actually I took a nice long walk during lunch! Here is what the weather was like:
I saw a whole yard full of Daffodils, saw a whole circle full of Winter Pansies, saw a fellow mowing a ball diamond, watched minnows in the creek, listened to the birds sing ...........
.....even picked a few wild-flowers.
(I scanned these in at work)
Needless to say, my walk was beautious! (beautiful/marvelous)

Posts on the way !!!
I finally had time to switch to the new Blogger so I'll try to do some real posting.
Until then, here is some food for thought:
Subject: A Nun at at the airport
A nun was sitting at the airport, waiting for her flight to Chicago. She looked over in the corner and saw one of those weight machines that tells your fortune and thought to herself, "I'll give it a try and see what it tells me."
She went over to the machine, stepped up on the scale and put her nickel in. Out came a card that read, "You are a nun, you weigh 128 lbs, and you are going to Chicago."
The nun sat back down. She told herself that the machine probably gave the same card to everyone. The more she thought about it, the more curious she got, so she decided to try it again. She went back to the machine and again put her nickel in, and out came a card that
read,"You are a nun, you weigh 128 pounds, you are going to Chicago and you are going to play a fiddle."
The nun said to herself, "I know that is wrong -- I have never played a musical instrument even once in my life." She sat back down. From out of nowhere a cowboy came over and sat down, putting his fiddle case in the seat between them. Without thinking, she opened the cowboy's case, took out the fiddle, and started playing beautiful music. Surprised at what she had done, she looked over at the machine, thinking, "This is incredible -- I've got to try this again."
Back to the machine she went, put in another nickel, and another card came out. It read, "You are a nun, you weigh 128 pounds, you are going to Chicago and you are going to break wind." Now she knew the machine was wrong, as she thought to herself, "I've never pooted in public a
single time in my life."
However, getting down off the machine she slipped, and as she was straining to keep herself from falling, -- sure enough -- she pooted out loud. Absolutely stunned and embarrassed, she sat back down and looked at the machine. She thought to herself, "I have GOT to try this again."
She went back to the machine, put in another nickel, and another card came out. It read, "You are a nun, you weigh 128 lbs, you have fiddled and farted around and have missed your flight to Chicago."
lol. . . . . . . . . . . . .

West Virginians - Ya Gotta Luv Em!!
BECKLEY, W.Va. - David Woods' Oldsmobile obviously needed
some work, lest of which was a fourth tire. But that didn't stop
the 30-year-old Meadow Bridge man from driving the older
model car on three tires and a rim to the local auto parts store
Wednesday night. He didn't make it far.
Beckley Police Detective Sgts. Dean Bailey & Gant Montgomery
said the car was speeding and "all over the road." Police also
noticed that the car's front fender was off and debris was falling
from the car. As the officers caught up with the Oldsmobile, it
swerved sideways, apparently because it was riding on three
tires and a rim. The car finally stopped behind an auto parts store.
Police later arrested Woods and charged him with driving under
the influence after he failed field sobriety tests. Bailey said the
man told him he was en route to Auto Zone to buy parts for his
car and thought he could make it.

SHE IS IN HEAVEN THIS MORNING !!!
Susan's Grandma Smith (her Dad's Mom) went home to Heaven
this morning about 3:30!!! She was 87. Would have been 88 in
January She had struggled quite a while with Congestive Heart
Failure and had not been doing very well for about 6 months now.
She told us all yesterday to have a good Christmas, and said she
was going to spend Christmas in Heaven this year.
We said it will be her best Christmas ever!
She is the one who baby-sat our girls. She kept Mikayla until she
started school and kept Natalie until about a year ago. As you can
tell, the girls just about loved her more than they love
me & Susan!! And she loved them back!
SHE HAD THEM BOTH TOTALLY SPOILED!!
We Love You Grandma, and we'll miss you !!!
