Starting with Daughter in Law, we have birthdays on the 3rd, hubby's sister is on the 5th, and hubby's birthday is the 6th of December. That is a lot of cake.
Then my twin's birthday is on December 12th, you see, I am the older twin, I was born about 22 days before she was. I'll bet each of our parents would be a bit confused over this twin thing, since our birth certificates say nothing about multiple births. But I learned long ago, that being siblings doesn't make you close, and being sisters at heart, doesn't require 'common' parents, or even living in the same area. I'm actually closer to my sisters at heart, than I am my actual siblings. I guess some may wonder why I can feel this way, but that is a story for another day. Today, we're celebrating birthdays, those already past, and those yet to come. And on December 25th, we will celebrate the most important birthday of all, the birth of Jesus Christ, So, how many Birthday Cards will you be mailing out to celebrate Christ's birth, this year? It really isn't about the gifts we recieve, or give, at this time of year, the only gift we can give Jesus, is loving and treating each other well.

Trying again, to post that photo
I really don't know what the issue is with
my posting photos here.
I've been posting them on another blog for years.
Anyway, I'm going to try and post that same photo again.
Same information, this photo was taken between 1848-1851.
The apparatus that is behind his head, is to hold the
person steady, while the photo was taken, as it took
quite awhile to actually take the photo. These were used until about 1850 in
large cities, but I suspect that it could have been in use later than that
in the 'boonies', where he lived.
This person is my great great grandfather, handsome dude isn't he?
He had brown hair, and blue gray eyes, and was about 6 ft tall, according to the wanted posters.
Diana, this is the photo I'd have liked to have had on the front of that book.
I'd love to have spent just a day with him and my great great grandmother.
He died December 1867.

Idiot Proof, NOT
OK, trying again, to post a photo.
As you can tell, if this picture posts, it isn't of this century, or even last century.
In fact, this one was taken around
1848-1851
And I finally found the right button, which should allow me to post a picture, again.
I'm not tellin what the problem was
let's just say that
A Mouse hit the wrong button, and it stuck

Four letter weather word
For those of you from the 'frozen north' I'm sure this weather in the southern part of the country would probably bring out the shorts and tees. For us below the Mason Dixon Line, anything below 50 makes our blood as thin as water, and we start shivering in our heavy winter clothing.
Yes, the temp outside is 50, but it is dropping tonight and by sometime Sunday night the weather forcasters are saying 4 letter words for some areas in the region.
Go to the grocery store on a day that 4 letter word is mentioned, and you'll find people grabbing things off the shelf, as if they may get '4 letter word then add ed' in for weeks. I only remember 3 times that we got '4 l w, add ed inserted here' for more 2 days, and actually one of those was a 3 letter word, starting with I and ending with CE. It even forced Santa to delay things for a day or two when items were on lay-away, back when they actually had lay-away at stores.
Wondering why I don't have the option to insert photos on this blog, again

Have you ever gotten into something?
And no matter how hard you try, you can't get out of it?
A few months ago, a group I am in, decided to do a Recipe book exchange, I didn't sign up, but I mailed the one in charge a book I had to give away in a drawing, and she won it. Well, my name got on the list, accidentally.
for the past 3 months, I've continued to explain 'don't send me any more cook books'.. I ship the ones that arrive, off to whoever they tell me to send them to, think I'm in the clear, and then another package arrives....
I recieved 3 today...I've yet to cook a recipe from one of the books, so this is getting a little expensive. For what I've spent on shipping, I could have gone out to eat.
Not complainin, just sayin

Christmas Cards and Roller Skates....
Have you seen the HP commercial for their printer? Yes, the one with the baby in the walker passing everything on the highway!
I love that song, I hate to admit I remember when it was played on the radio, but I do...
Now to do my Christmas cards while I sing this.
I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I roller skated to your door at daylight
It almost seems that you're avoiding me
I'm ok alone but you've got something I need
Well, I've gotta brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together
And try them out ya see
I've been lookin' around a while
You got somethin' for me
Oh, I gotta brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I ride my bike, I roller skate, don't drive no car
Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far
For somebody who don't drive I've been all around the world
Some people say I've done all right for a girl
Oh yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah-yeah
I asked your mother if you were at home
She said yes, but you weren't alone
Oh sometimes I think that your avoiding me
I'm ok alone but you got something I need well
I've gotta brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together
And try them out ya see
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, I gotta brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, I gotta brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, I gotta brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Where is the line to see Jesus...
You'll have to view this as kind of like NanaDiana's Magazine Mockery, I didn't write it, I just copied it, just as she didn't take the pictures she writes about.. I'd love to hear the song, though. I haven't clicked on the link, since I'm at the end of the earth, internet wise.
While at the mall a couple of years ago, my then four year old nephew, Spencer, saw kids lined up to see Santa Claus. Having been taught as a toddler that Christmas is the holiday that Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus, he asked his mom, "where's the line to see Jesus"? My sister mentioned this to my dad, who immediately became inspired and jotted words down to a song in just a few minutes. After putting music to the words, and doing a quick recording at home, he received a great response from friends. He sent the song off to Nashville without much response, except for a Christian song writer who suggested adding a bridge at the end of the first chorus. My dad then asked if I wanted to record the song to see what we could do with it. I listened to the song, made a few changes to the words to make it flow better, and we headed to Shock City Studios. It was at the studio where Chris, owner and producer, rewrote the 2nd verse and part of the chorus... with goosebumps and emotions high, we were all hopeful and felt like we had something special. The demo was recorded in just under 2 hours and sent off again to Nashville ... still no response. Then 2 weeks before Christmas last year, my cousins Greg and Robbie decided to do a video to see what we could accomplish on YouTube. The first day we had 3000 hits and it soared from there. We received e-mails, phone calls, Facebook messages from people all over asking for the music, CD's, iTunes, anything... we had nothin'. After a couple of meetings with Chris following the amazing response, we got serious. We headed back into the studio this past spring... this time with guitars, drums, bass, pianos, choirs... the real deal.... and here we are today. Getting iTunes set up, a website put together, and loving that thousands upon thousands of Christians have come together... remembering the true meaning of Christmas. Out of the mouths of babes come profound truths that many adults can not understand. Hopefully Spencer's observation will cause people all over to reflect on the love of Jesus, and that one day we will all stand in line to see Him. We are most thankful to our Heavenly Father to have this chance to share our music with you. Merry Christmas everyone.

I looked up the lyrics:
Where's The Line To See Jesus?
Christmas time was approaching, the snow is starting to fall,
Shoppers choosing their presents, people filling the mall,
Children waiting for Santa with excitement and glee.
A little boy tugged my sweater, looked up and asked me,
Where's the line to see Jesus? Is He here at the store?
If Christmas time is His birthday, why don't we see Him more?
Where's the line to see Jesus? He was born for me.
Santa Claus brought me presents, but Christ gave His life for me.
As I stood in amazement at this message profound,
I looked down to thank him, he was no where around.
The little boy at the mall might as well have had wings
As the tears filled my eyes, I thought I heard him say,
Where's the line to see Jesus? Is He here at the store?
If Christmas time is His birthday, why don't we see Him more?
Where's the line to see Jesus? He was born for me.
Santa Claus brought me presents, but Christ gave His life for me.
In the blink of an eye, at the sound of His trump,
We'll all stand in line at His throne.
Every knee shall bow down, every tongue will confess,
That Jesus Christ is Lord.
Where's the line to see Jesus? Is He here at the store?
If Christmas time is His birthday, why don't we see Him more?
Where's the line to see Jesus? He was born for me.
Santa Claus brought me presents, but Christ gave His life for me
Christmas time was approaching, the snow is starting to fall,
Shoppers choosing their presents, people filling the mall,
Children waiting for Santa with excitement and glee.
A little boy tugged my sweater, looked up and asked me,
Where's the line to see Jesus? Is He here at the store?
If Christmas time is His birthday, why don't we see Him more?
