Polar Bear Attack !!!!
If you are real brave, you might want to take a look
at the photos below of a savage Polar Bear attack in
Churchill, Manitoba, Canada.
These are photos of an actual polar bear attack which
recently occured.
The photos were taken while a number of people
stood by and watched, but were helpless to do anything
to stop the attack.
The local newspaper reports that miraculously, the
victim is expected to make a full recovery.
This is not for the faint at heart as the pictures are
very graphic!! Scroll down if you dare!!!

Diffendoofer Day !!
Our Galax City School Superintendent is retiring
and the school had a retirement dinner for him.
The drama teacher put together a dramatic reading
of Dr. Seuss's book "Hooray for Diffendoofer Day!"
One child from each grade level was chosen to read
a portion of it for him. Natalie was chosen for
Kindergarten and Mikayla was chosen for 4th Grade!
They were to dress very different to go along with
the book and the acting out of the story.
Here they are in their Dr. Seuss finest!!!

A Christmas Story for people having a bad day!
When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves
did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and
Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.
Then Mrs Claus told Santa her Mother was coming
to visit, which stressed Santa even more. When he
went to harness the reindeer, he found that three
of them were about to give birth and two others had
jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where!
Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the
floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and
all the toys were scattered. Frustrated, Santa went in
the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum.
When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves
had drunk all the cider and hidden the liquor. In his
frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and
it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the
kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the
mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.
Just then the doorbell rang, and irritated Santa
marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood
a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel
said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this
a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where
would you like me to stick it?' And so began the tradition
of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

Christmas Parade !!
Friday night was the annual Galax Christmas Parade.
The Shriners Kazim Hillbillys are always big highlight.
As you can see below, they always have there share of
fun. These two dudes were trying to sell this tree. The
sign says it comes "Wiff Lites"!! Hehehe They had a
small set of battery-powered lights on it and they would
turn them off and on. Great fun!! I might have to join
them someday!!
Ya can't forget the old crazy cars they drive too. They
have them fixed to where they barely run, and are always
back-firing and blowing lots of smoke!!

So..........
....after spending most of Thanksgiving day with both
sides of Susan's family, we took off for the ocean!!
We enjoyed the beach several times, finished up
most of the Christmas shopping, enjoyed great
accomodations and just relaxed for a few days.
For Sunday we found a church that was putting
on a Christmas program with hand-bells. They
did a wonderful job with them!

I Am The Stuffing !!! How 'Bout You??
 You're complicated and complex, yet all your pieces fit together. People miss you if you're gone - but they're not sure why. |
Stayin Alive !!
A cowboy told his grandson the secret to a long life.
He said, "You gotta sprinkle a little gunpowder on your
oatmeal, see. If you do, you'll live to a nice ripe old age."
So the cowboy did this religiously every day, and sure
enough, lived to the nice ripe old age of 96.
When he died he left behind:
... 4 children
... 8 grandchildren
... 15 great-grandchildren
...
...and a 16 foot hole in the wall of the crematorium !!!
