All it is Arizona is, apple and pears rhymes with stairs :)

As in, '' am off up the apple and pears''

Hmmmm, your a bit more behind us than I thought :o

We got 8.30 pm in the UK, sooooo, you about 7 hours behind us then :o :)

Arizona, enjoy meeting your friend and mam, but please take care driving eh :) :) Although saying that, I would have the fullest confidence in your driving if I was a passenger in your car :) :)

Hmmm, saying that, perhaps the safest place is in the boot or on the roof rack, then I can make a flippin jump for it if needs be :P :D :D :D

in reply to monky

I'm having second thoughts now .... My friend just called to say there's been an accident On the highway and a car has flipped over into the oncoming traffic I guess my plans have changed thank goodness I'm not at a standstill on the highway for two hours..... It's good we were chatting otherwise I would be in that highway standstill Thanks Pete

Oh Boxing Day is the day after Christmas Day when people go mad shopping...... There are sales everywhere in Canada ..... Stores are clearing out their stock.... People go wild.... Not me though.... I'm not a shopper

glolinLONG TERM WINNER in reply to

we have the crazy sales here too..i always enjoy boxing day as a nice quiet day..Yesterday was such a big day for me..i helped out at the salvo's Christmas dinner which is something i do every alternate year..then had my daughter and family arrive about 15 minutes after we got home.

So by the time it was all over and done with...i was just exhausted with all the noise and energy...fortunately my 3 grandkids enjoyed the afternoon in the pool as we had a very warm day..today on the other hand, it is warm..but raining..so it is going t get and sticky later today

in reply to glolin

I hope our thyroid meds are preventing weight gain haha I've eaten so much I'm really quite tired today.... I feel like sleeping..... My pulse went to 109 bpm yesterday.... The dr said to call but then it went back to 89 bpm.....I don't feel shakey or anxious.... Normally they say if we have too much thyroid hormone we would get anxious and shakey and irritable and the opposite if our thyroid is slow..... So worrisome

A very merry Christmas to you and your family Shanti :) :) xx

Well, I stayed in bed to ignore the day (bah humbug!) as long as possible -- but have to admit that QuitterPaul's photo in the previous post made my day!

Actually I went to a lovely, traditional Christmas Eve service last night at a small rural church -- and was truly blessed . That pretty much sums up my Christmas celebration -- as I have nothing else going on today -- but it's enough..
