Happy Holidays
A community center Christmas tree
It is huge and colorful and my photography does not do it justice! It is that time of year when many drive around to see the decorations. There are not as many decorations as there were when living in the city. That is okay, as every once in a while there is a standout and this was one of those!
Oh Christmas tree, how
lovely are your bows
Oh dear Christmas tree
how lovely you are to see
Oh Christmas tree we
sing and admire you
on the twenty-third
as Denise and John
celebrate this day
recent anniversary
twenty years this twenty-third
we will have a party on
yes, our special twenty-fifth
anniversary, we ate
at Country Kitchen last night
and sang oh Christmas tree right
after. So much fun for us
old ones. We would forget to
tell everyone where we went
It was okay though,
as it was the best.
The card that is always there
The best of the best
from my love, and then
there was no money
in the card, my honey
loves me, that is clear
With luck, there will be lots more!
The money went for a dishwasher
the old one gave out
it is done! Honey,
Christmas trees and anniversaries!
We are both happy
with each other and
our brand-new black dishwasher!
