Three cheers for people who turn in lost items instead of keeping them.

I have a husband and a puppy who both look at me as though I am the best thing in the world! My life is great!

Just put bells in my horses mane when I braided them this morning. They are prancing around like show horses now. I think they like being prettied up.

My life is nowhere near perfect but I wouldn’t switch places with anyone on Earth. God knows what he’s doing; we just have to trust him!

Happiness is making a big batch of cookies and not burning one.

I am thankful for a snuggly dog on this cold winter’s night.

I got a big, happy buzz, volunteering at the Operation Christmas Child warehouse. Wow! Praise the Lord!

I am looking forward to watching “It’s a Wonderful Life.” What a message.

Marriage is like a work of art. I have been painting for 50 years and enjoying everyday of it.

Watched “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” with college-aged people. It was heart-warming.

Hot chocolate and lots of covers are sheer bliss tonight.

Merry Christmas to the Vent Guy/Gal. I forgive you for not always recognizing my genius!

I absolutely don’t have a home or any money this year, but what a charge I’m getting from watching and listening to our Salvation Army workers this year. Goes double for the Toys for Tots workers.

Just slapped some peanut butter and honey on a chocolate cookie. Talk about bliss!

Christmas is such a happy time. I pray that everyone will enjoy the season.Encourage a possum to hang around for cat food, and he’ll also eat your rattlesnakes, copperheads and moccasins.

Christmas spirit = the lady at Starbucks in front of me paying for my coffee. Thanks. And of course “the spirit didn’t stop there.”

Our son took our old unused piano, and we now have three grandchildren who have learned to play it quite well. Great!

I love how Linus puts down his blanket when he tells the story of the Nativity. The Lord is his security then.

There is a guy named Andrew and a puppy named Marlow who love me more than life itself! They make my life perfect! I’m so lucky! I hope everyone this holiday season is as lucky as I am!

Getting together with my family today was the most fun I’ve had in a while. And to think I didn’t want to go!

Thank you to the ladies that work with my mother-in-law. Your gift will come back to you. Bless your big, giving hearts. Merry Christmas!

Confession: My family swears I make scrumptious scratch chocolate chip cookies, but after nine batches, I’m thinking I better tell them I now use Betty Crocker prepackaged mix.

Yes, I praise the Lord for what I have received, but I also praise the wonderful person who put it all together for me.

Had a cookie party with all our neighbors. I made the cookies and everyone decorated them. We had so much fun and everyone ended up with lots of cookies.

My Yankee grandma made us red-eye gravy, ham and biscuits. My Southern grandma made us sausage gravy, sausage and biscuits. To this day, I can’t decide which is better!

Do people with bed head hair actually think that’s a style that looks good?
