MONDAY MEANDERINGS

Good Monday Mornin' Yall,

I do hope everyone had a Blessed Sunday and ready to start a new day today. It is 43 degrees here and on the rainy side. The fog we've had since Thursday night finally lifted late yesterday evening. Rain is in our forecast all the way thru Wednesday. Our local weather guy just said a few minutes ago that the Sun will return on Thursday. Looks like a gloomy week ahead for us. I'm thankful we don't have the ICE that some of my blogging friends have received.

It didn't "Rain on our Parade" Saturday night. "PRAISE GOD" for that. It sure was foggy tho. But I think the fog made it feel more Christmasy tho. It kind of reminded me of the little show "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and how Rudolph had to lead the way on that foggy Christmas Eve. As you know, I don't have a digital camera or a scanner to download some really good pictures. I did take a couple of pictures with my cell phone. The first picture is of my youngest daughter in our Church Float. She is the lead Angel. You may have to click on the picture to enlarge it. She is the one waving. I thought my oldest daughter was on there as well, but come to find out, she was on another float and I didn't know it until after the Parade. If I had of known it, I surely would have taken a picture of her.

I had another picture of Santa Claus that I wanted to show also, but I can't seem to find it. If I do find it, I will share it another day. After the Parade, we went to our Church where the Kid's for Christ put on their Christmas Program. On Wednesday nights all the kids that go to Church have been practicing on the play. I had told yall that my oldest daughter was going to sing a solo. Well, my youngest daughter called me about 4:30p.m. Saturday afternoon and told me she was going to be singing a solo as well. One of the other girls that was suppose to sing wasn't going to be there, so my youngest daughter volunteered to do it. Both of our girls did an excellent job in singing their solo's. We were so Proud of them for doing such a wonderul job. The first picture is of my oldest daughter singing her solo of "HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS" and the next picture is of my youngest daughter singing her solo of "C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S". The other kids did join her in singin the chorus. The name of their Christmas Play was called "AN ALPHABET CHRISTMAS". It was a lovely play.

Well, the pictures are backwards. My youngest daughter is in the first picture and my oldest daughter is in the second picture. Everyone came up to me and hubby after the program and told us how good our daughters sounded and what a wonderful job they did. Did I mention that I am so Proud of them? LOL. Sunday, we went to Osceola, Ar and seen my Great-Aunt. The 11th of this month she will be 98 years young. I did take a picture of her with our girls. I just have to wait until I can get some more minutes later on this morning. I will share that picture with you as well on another day. We really had a good time. We had a Coconut Birthday Cake that my Sister had made and Vanilla Ice Cream to go with it. We had some soda's to drink also. It sure was good to see my cousin's that I haven't seen in a good while.

Some of you may have noticed the "Decorate the Blogs" Banner on my Sidebar. I seen this on a few of my blogging friends blogs as well and decided to go ahead and enter as well. All you have to do is click on this banner and go and enter. But you have to hurry tho because time is Running out.

I would also like to "THANK" my dear friend from Canada, Mary of Mary's Writing Nook for giving all of her blogging friends this Christmas Banner. Mary is such a sweet and wonderful person. If you have never been to visit Mary, please go and visit her. She is a writer as well and she shares alot of her stories with us. "THANKS" again Mary.

A few days ago, Mary had givin out some Awards to her blogging friends also. "THANK YOU SO MUCH MARY". I am showing the Award Banners below.

I am just now getting them on here. I am slow and had a bad week last week. But hey, it's better late than never huh? "THANKS" again Mary. Visiting Mary will sure lift your spirits up and make you feel alot better.

Well, I think I will go visiting now. I hope that each and everyone of you will have a great Monday. May God Bless You All. Take care my friends and enjoy your Monday.

LOVE & HUGS,
