The shortest day of the year!

I decided to go somewhere different for breakfast today. Sawyers pancake house. When sherry was here We went here with Oscar and mom. Boy are the pancakes good! I am having fresh peanut butter on mine and it is delicious! I walked in and the artist actor Sineh Wirie,from my cinema class was right there before me! I had not had a chance to show Sineh Wirie his video I did for the class so little ray ray iPad to the rescue.
Here is the video if you want to see it http://vimeo.com/17548573
Sineh was so appreciative, that I think he's buying my breakfast!


It is starting to feel like Christmas. I got to almost sit on Santa claus lap this year but i did not want to break his leg with all the presents he has to deliver!
Bertlee had too much egg nog at Susan and Brindley's party and got himself ran down so he got sick on Monday. He is on the mend and I hope he will be fine for Christmas. Bertlee is going way up north with his grand daughters and there mom. I will have the boys and Edie and dad over for a wonderful dinner on christmas day. The next day we will be going to John and Tammy's new house to celebrate with mom oscar and my sisters family.





Christmas is for little kids and I can not wait to see Holly and Daniel for the holiday season! Sister Sherry will not be here this time but she was for thanksgiving. Sherry and Holly by golly look fabulous!


I now have to go home and clean the living room to make room for the presents and the fun that this holiday season will bring.
I may not be able to spend spend spend durning this season, but the love and fellowship of my family and friends is what christmas is about. Good meal and wonderful memories will fill my house this Christmas season and I think the good lord above for all my blessings. Merry Christmas to one and all!

What a great Friday in December ! Ho Ho you and I mean you!

I was out to bingo yes I said BINGO last night and it was so much fun! I did not think that Erich was going to be there but I pulled up right behind his escape. I worked really hard getting all the errands done for the day and my last stop was at Marks lock shop for the side door handle replacement. I tease Jr that he is wearing it out! He knows what I mean!!! Kisses ha! Anyways it's old and I love stopping to see mark anyways. He let me in after hours, ( he closes at 2pm!!! ), so it was really nice of him to do that for me. I just sold him three prints at the October first walk at the tuner dodge mansion. He should be a comic because his dry and crass send of humor always makes me laugh. My houses locks are from the era when you have to go to the locksmith and should last the the houses lifetime and my lady will be 80 years old in 2012.
He told me that the part would be there tomorrow and that I could stop by then. I went home and worked on a clients photo editing until I just could not do anymore. It was early so going to my local pub to play bingo, yes bingo. There is quite a following and what the hell, how often do I get to bingo! Bertlee is under the weather or he would of been with me. He has a toothache.

Hump day in December

Well I was Late for cooking class today because barbie came over last night and got me and Bertlee drunk.


This is the barbie that stopped by barbie bitch.
You know I have a question, if barbie is so popular why you you have to buy all her friends? Oh that is a different barbie! Taylor came home from work at 8am and I really did hear him, but the bed was so warm and I was so tired I thought I could get another half hour. Taylor yelled at me, DAD your going to be late to school! And I popped out of bed,in the shower and was only 20 min last. I made a cake in a spring from pan. It was apple pecan cranberry Carmel upside down cake. I made real whip creme with Carmel and brandy folded into it. It was so good!



I got the recipe off epucurious .com.Chef was very impressed and the class agreed. Bertlee will tell me when I get home if he liked it. Well back to drinking a little joy into my life with friends.
Happy hump day!

The night before turner dodge 2010

I am over across from the turner dodge mansion on the other side of the street. Wow what a difference from one side to the next. I love my life and looking so happy at the prospects from across the street, just like in alice in wonderland. Happy December 2010!
