Saturday Morning Rambling

Here I sit on this cold and wintery Saturday Morning, this is actually the first blog post that I will have written in 2025 as I usually write them ahead of time. Kiwi and Peanut have expressed to me that neither one of them like this cold weather or this crap that falls on the ground called snow. I can't blame them and I agree with them 100% because it may have been said on this blog that I am not a fan of snow. 

Michelle worked over yesterday, so we are going to do our Friday chores this morning, meaning Sam's club and Aldi's shopping today. I have a weeks worth of blogs to write sometime today and it just might be a movie and a nap kind of day. 

I'm actually going to enjoy a nice two day weekend, no holidays coming up this upcoming week so no need to work an altered schedule of a contractor to make up for those lost hours. I think it has actually been the last three weekends that I have worked, had a Doctors appointment and an interview the first week so I worked on Sunday to make up the hours. 

Have yourselves a great day, make it memorable. 

Big Ole Hairy Friday

Yes, it is once again that time of the week that we all look forward to when we can take time to cease the labors for the week and take a little bit of needed time out to enjoy the fruits of those labors. It is again the dawn of another weekend and a Big Ole Hairy Friday.

Kiwi and Peanut are still celebrating the New Year, I don't think they grab the concept that there is a time limit on it and eventually the days move on. They are animals, every day is the same for them, so they don't care. 

Nothing really on our agenda for the weekend, things start to slow down a little bit post Holiday. I think Michelle may change our Christmas Tree to a Valentines Day Tree for something a little different. It started out as a Halloween Tree, then it became a Christmas Tree, now next up is Valentines Day and St Patricks Day, all while ignoring Phil's day. 

Have yourselves a great day and a great weekend. 

Photo Flashback Thursday

Once a week I like to take a little bit of time out, time to look at some of the 30,000+ photos that I have stored on my computer. Little lost moments in time that I either captured with a lens, scanned or just stole from someplace on the internet. I like to find just one and post it up and recall or relive the picture to the best of my ability. Sometimes this is a pretty easy task and sometimes it's not that easy, one thing it has always been a lot of fun.

For this weeks pic I go to one of our sibling pics minus Pam (and Jonathan) as the opportunity presented itself on Christmas Eve. Gary had came in from Wheeling for the evening and we managed to grab this picture which I thought turned out pretty well. It would have been nice to have had Pam in it as well, but she didn't make it to Terri's that evening. 

Have yourselves a great day. 

Hi ho hi ho

Happy New Years

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

and never brought to mind?

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

and old lang syne?

CHORUS:

For auld lang syne, my dear,

for auld lang syne,

we'll take a cup of kindness yet,

for auld lang syne.

And surely you’ll buy your pint cup!

and surely I’ll buy mine!

And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,

for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have run about the slopes,

and picked the daisies fine;

But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,

since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have paddled in the stream,

from morning sun till dine†;

But seas between us broad have roared

since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

And there’s a hand my trusty friend!

And give me a hand o’ thine!

And we’ll take a right good-will draught,

for auld lang syne.

CHORUS
