Dogs and cat

Carmen, our Doberman, chewing her rawhide bone. She is not paying me any attention.Carmen did not get a new bed because she chews them up. She does not use it like the other dogs, except for chewing the stuffing out of the beds. She inherits a gently used bed.

Carmen snooping around.


Bruno is not impressed. He did not get a new bed for Christmas. My other cat is sleeping.



Suzie says nothing is better than a new rawhide bone and a new camoflaged bed. She is always happy!This is Hot Dog's happy face. He likes his new bed too. Can't you tell?

Silent Night, Holy Night

Unto this night a child was born. Rejoice

May God comfort the hurting, the lonely, the needy, the sick

and those that have lost loved ones.

I am wishing you all the blessings of the season and a Merry Christmas to all

Peace and Love,

Pam

The Queen's Meme #18~ The Most Annoying Christmas Meme Ever





Sometimes silly. Sometimes serious.Always fun!Step out of the box. Be creative.Use your imagination.No one's answers are quite like yours.Once upon a time in a faraway Bloggiverse there lived a maiden named Queen Mimi Pencil Skirt. She slayed her own dragons, stoked her own fire and well.....wrote memes by the light of the Bloggingham moon. One day a kind blogger from England noticed her meme lovin' ways and royally crowned her Mimi Queen of Memes. As time passed in the peaceful kingdom of Bloggingham, her Royal Highness found comfort in the company of fellow bloggers who also loved memes. But the Queen had a wicked disposition too. It is widely reported in historical Blogosphere archives that any and all bloggers found guilty of not completing their memes were promptly thrown into the dreaded Bloggingham dungeon. If I were you, I'd do the meme.




1. What is the most annoying Christmas song? I could not imagine any annoying Christmas songs. So I googled it and the worst one was this song. It was pretty bad.


There’s No One Quite Like Grandma
Culprits: St Winifred’s School Choir



2. Name one annoying thing that happens to you each time you get together with your family during the holidays? Someone, a certain someone that I won't name is always one upping everyone in the family. Arghhhhhh....it is so annoying.



3. What is eggnog? Think about it. Does anybody really know?


I had eggnog once at a party. The hostess made it from scratch. It was fluffy and wonderful with a lot of booze in it. That is my only experience with that stuff, but I am still dreaming of it and I think I saw eight Lords a'leaping...not sure where number nine went?




4. Don't take this personally but there are lots of fruitcakes walking around. Have you encountered any real live nuts lately Pleeze....Have you met my family?




5. Why were the nine Lords a'leaping in those annoying tights???!


The nine Lords a'leaping wore tights to show off the family jeweles.




6. What is the most annoying Christmas gift you've ever received?What did you do with it??


Well, I don't want to say, but over the years there have been a few choice gifts. It finally got out of hand and we give just stopped giving to the whole family. I would rather buy for needy folks than my family. Needy folks are not so particular and they are gratful. Besides...don't we have enough stuff?




7. Let's admit it: Christmas, with all its splendor and goodwill, can also be a pain in the royal patootie. How do you plan to circumvent annoyances this year and enjoy the season?


Hey now... I am finally in the Christmas spirit and I am not going to let anyone spoil it for me...not even this meme! That is why no one is invited over for Christmas dinner, with the exception of my youngest son. The other one is in Germany.

Just a quick note


I am sorry that I have not posted very much lately, but I have had this pain in my lower left side for about a month now and finally went to the doctor this week. I have also been very busy with Christmas flower arrangements. I feel just bad enough to feel sorry for my self. Ugh!
It turns out that I have diverticulitis. The treatment is two different antibiotics that gives my stomach a fit. I am taking a probiotic to help my poor stomach, but alas not much has helped it. I don't feel like eating, but you have to take the meds on a full stomach, hence the problem.

I have four more days of the medicines and I hope to be better.
On a brighter note, our youngest son, Hunter, got hired as a firefighter. He has been a volunteer firefighter for a couple of years now. We are so happy to see his dream come true. It is his true passion in life. He is working for one of the largest fire deptartments in the parrish of La.
He can afford to finish school at a later date and he will have insurance. This is a huge blessing for him and we are so happy for him.
