Holiday Meals
meals with family and the warmth of sharing them always end too soon *** Just a little something that occurred to me during Christmas lunch with some of the family. Those who couldn't make it were missed, but the warm feeling was still there. Thanks for reading! Don't forget to leave a like and a comment!

Easin' into the Season. Top Story - December 2025.
The Holiday Season is upon us. Thanksgiving is barely out of the way, and the shops have transitioned from Black Friday sales right into Christmas sales. The local radio stations have been playing carols for about the same length of time. Neighborhood lighting competitions are well underway. Its a typical December here in the good ol' USA.

One Small Gesture
I have several winter rituals, most of which are shared by many others. For instance, the Christmas tree goes up on December 1st. When Pam and I lived in places where it was possible, that would include an early start, walking through the designated area in the forest to harvest a tree.

Giving Thanks in 2025. Top Story - November 2025.
My Thanksgiving began at 3:44 AM. Not because there were things to prepare for dinner, etc. but because one of my dogs needed desperately to go outside. I got out of our cozy, warm bed, slipped my jeans and shoes on and out we went into the 28-degree morning.
