Happy Holidays

 Happy Whatever You and Yours Celebrate!


We've made it to mid December, yeah for us. I've rewritten a famous Christmas song for you. 


On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a doughnut from the bakery. 🍩

On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me, two turtle candies and a doughnut from the bakery. 

On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me, three French pastries, two turtle candies and a doughnut from the bakery.

On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, four petit fours, three French pastries, two turtle candies and a doughnut from the bakery. 

On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, five cherry pies, four petit fours, three French pastries, two turtle candies and a doughnut from the bakery.

On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, six bags of Cheetos, five cherry pies, four petit fours, three French pastries, two turtle candies and a doughnut from the bakery.

On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me, seven sausages simmering, six bags of Cheetos, five cherry pies, four petit fours, three French pastries, two turtle candies and a doughnut from the bakery.

On the eighth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, eight foot long hot dogs, seven sausages simmering, six bags of Cheetos, five cherry pies, four petit fours, three French pastries, two turtle candies and a doughnut from the bakery.

On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, nine pounds of bacon, eight foot long hot dogs, seven sausages simmering, six bags of Cheetos, five cherry pies, four petit fours, three French pastries, two turtle candies and a doughnut from the bakery.

On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, ten buckets of chicken, nine pounds of bacon, eight foot long hot dogs, seven sausages simmering, six bags of Cheetos, five cherry pies, four petit fours, three French pastries, two turtle candies and a doughnut from the bakery.

On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me, eleven bags of chocolate, ten buckets of chicken, nine pounds of bacon, eight foot long hot dogs, seven sausages simmering, six bags of Cheetos, five cherry pies, four petit fours, three French pastries, two turtle candies and a doughnut from the bakery.

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, twelve deep fried snickers, eleven bags of chocolate, ten buckets of chicken, nine pounds of bacon, eight foot long hot dogs, seven sausages simmering, six bags of Cheetos, five cherry pies, four petit fours, three French pastries, two turtle candies and a doughnut from the bakery. 🍩


Now you might think that I'm a lucky girl to have a true love so thoughtful but the last line of the verse tells the true story.


On the day after Christmas my true love gave to me, 

A Dear Jane letter stating, "You're too fat for me."

I promptly went to the post office and posted a reply,

"Thank you for the gifts sucker, now's the time for goodbye."

"You see I found a second love and he's perfect as can be,

He loves my rolls, my muffin top and everything thing he sees,

He's buying a brand new Cadillac and giving me the keys.


I hope you all have a beautiful holiday, remember what's important and may we all spend the holidays with our loved ones next year.

    I don't know what my husband gave to me , since he's out shopping now. I do know that I am very lucky to have this guy. In the last few weeks I've had diverticulitis and while caring for me, he unfortunately had an attack of congestive heart failure that sent him to the hospital for 3 days.
    We are both well now, and are very thankful we have each other and how precious life is. May we continue to have good health now and cherrish the time we do have and thankful for the medical folks who keep us going. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

    Very clever and a perfect ending. I'd like to see Hallmark do a take on this one. Hope everyone finds a way to enjoy the holidays without family and friends - keep thinking next year.

Back to the Bad Ole Days

 What the hell Rona?  Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water the beast known as "The Rona" shows it's ugly head again. Here's the thing, as an "elder" (that's what my grandson used to call me), I'm scared of crap that never used to frighten me. Here's an example: I see a guy walking in my neighborhood with a saw, I don't think "Oh, he's here to trim my palm trees" I think of these guys.  Back in the day, a hurricane was an opportunity to batten down the hatches and throw back a cocktail or two. Now I'm petrified that a tree will fall on my house and kill me. I'm afraid to drive without a seat belt, ride a bike without a helmet, drink water from the hose, or walk anywhere outside of my senior community alone. Some might say, that's part of our changing society so get used to the terror that surrounds us. However I suspect when we were young and bullet proof, we never considered consequences. There

  Life in the Hood My neighborhood association is having a zoom meeting today, so as expected, there are signs about the meeting at the entrances of the streets. On my walk this morning someone put a sticker on the sign asking why a lamp light isn't working at a particular home? I swear it wasn't me! The association probably won't believe me since I already had this fight with them and it cost me $377.00 to fix the light. Their argument is that if I had an emergency the ambulance wouldn't be able to see my house number (yes the house number must be on the light). My response, "Don't they have headlights on the vehicles? Won't they see the large house number on my garage? Do they have GPS?" As I said I lost that battle and forked over an entire month of wine purchases to have it fixed.  Last year our president tried to pass a rule that we had to get a background check on our visitors if they stayed over a certain period of time. I'm not kidding! Th

  Walking the Streets Are you looking for something to pass the time while you're in self imposed lock down? After walking the dog around the block I decided to bring her home and go walking alone. I want to lose some weight and break up the boredom of spending a day alone with just me, the TV and the refrigerator. I've learned so much about my neighbors and my entire community. I know who are Republicans and who are Democrats. I know who are Gator fans and who support the Buckeyes. I've learned long walks on recycle days will show who to invite to a party. I passed one house with the recycling container over flowing with wine and beer bottles. That taught me that I'm not a wino, I'm just an upstanding member of my community. They say walking is the best exercise, it's also a walk down mem ory lane. I passed a house with a couple taking a break from putting up Christmas decorations. They were in lawn chairs listening to Waylon and Willie singing, "Mama Don&
