Will you have any resolutions for the new year? Any crafts projects in the plans? I need to use up some needlepoint yarn, perhaps make a few pillows. Every year I put bread making on my list, maybe this really will be the year.

I usually don't agree with so much that a blogger has to say--but with you I did. Don't leave. I intend to come back often. I enjoy the recipes, health tips, the covert political slant, the Christian view, the (what some would say) conspiracy theories and just everything. You are very talented with your hand-work and thrifting. Have a great day!

MY son and DIL will be taking him. No one can resist her cute little face.<br /><br />I wish that we still could wear gloves without looking like a germaphobe. My hands always look so rough with gardening and all, it would be nice to cover them up. <br /><br />I didn't buy a Christmas dress, but I have a beautiful vintage velvet skirt that I'll be wearing. Maybe some pearl earrings too. <br /><br />Hope you a fun Christmas with your granddaughter!<br /><br />Hugs<br />JaneJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851312702044308420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051110165755611111.post-16596918406976341392016-12-23T04:44:24.701-08:002016-12-23T04:44:24.701-08:00Merry Christmas and Thank You!

How is the cold little kitty?? What a sweet little thing....I'm so glad he brought it home and you are taking care of it. Hope you can find a nice home for it and I sure would be getting attached to it, like you mentioned, ha ha LOL How could you not--it's a cute little thing. I also just read and loved the post about Christmas dresses...you and I think so much alike. I miss some formality in our world now that its' missing! I love dressing up for occasions and special events and holidays! I love having a "Christmas dress" or outfit! I buy our granddaughter a sweet little festive Christmas dress every year and also an Easter dress. I miss LADIES wearing nice outfits when out shopping or visiting---we used to dress up for those occasions, what in the world has happened to us? Casual is nice, and it's ok....but to NEVER dress up and show respect for yourself and the event is just lacking today, and it's sad. Remember when ladies wore nice white gloves? Haven't seen that since 1972, and it was for Homecoming queen court. ha ha LOL Flying in a airplane used to be a special event, ladies wore nice dresses or suits, a lovely hat, high heel pumps, and the gloves. Men wore suits and ties and yes, they polished their shoes. Like you said, people dressed up for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner too, in old pictures you see people dressed nicely, not all slovenly and messy. I am constantly amazed and appalled while out in public seeing young women running around in pajama bottoms and old t shirts or worse. Do they not look in a mirror or do they just not care? LOL I miss the old traditions so I sure did love this post. And by the way, did you get a Christmas dress this year my friend?BeachGypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200510017404641217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051110165755611111.post-75838052662416211432016-12-23T00:55:41.392-08:002016-12-23T00:55:41.392-08:00Howdy Jane, glad you enjoyed the post about the tr...Howdy Jane, glad you enjoyed the post about the tree lighting here, we always like to attend.
