"Lets Ski," says this happy santa!

LOL - OK - I collect Santas (Kid that I am!!)

and I like this guy a lot!

He's probably not anything so special to most observers! I got him at Wal-Mart one year in the 'after Christmas' mark down sales! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I like his bright blue skis and his big, inviting, smile that just seems to say, 

"Come join me - Let's Ski!"

:)

This is my all time favorite Christmas movie. I try to watch it  at least once every year just before Christmas.

This is the kind of little girl I was in many ways.  (especially the total trust and belief in santa that she has- and in God and heaven. )

Oh! It's just a most endearing movie to watch - IMO-  The total movie can be found on Youtube, in 12 parts! I bet if you watch this first part you will want to watch all of it! ;)  I watched it all tonight- while baking my 'Magic Cookie Bars.'

I LOVE, LOVE,  LOVE IT!! 

 How about you?

Love,

Florida cold

Hey, Today I'm doing THIS again...






...BECAUSE a hard freeze has been predicted for our area...several hours of freezing temps overnight! If that really does come to pass...I fear all this good citrus will be lost! :( There is just so much I can save...although the fruit will keep for awhile-refrigerated, but I am limited with space in my fridges. So I will just do what I can... I have never tried to freeze juice~ and besides...don't feel up to doing a whole lot of squeezing~ especially not knowing how it would turn out! There must be a way but I have never researched the subject and it's a little late now to face this situation!

LOL- Charles says,"Just let them freeze on the tree and then pick 'em and freeze them whole!" He was joking, of course! If only it could be that easy!! ;)

Oh,well! What will be will be!
(as Doris used to say in that song!!)

With a little good luck that freeze won't happen!!
We'll see!

~~~

Perhaps this will help!
We DID have our black eyed peas and hog jowl yesterday...to bring us good luck in the new year, ya know!







Oh, yes! This meal was prepared by the famous, 'Confused Chef!'
It was excellent, as one might expect!



Tonight I am making a pot of old fashioned chicken stew...and am doing it the way of the Confused Chef...which is to say ~ without a recipe. I did, however, cut off a lot of the fat! I make this with a whole chicken-stewed and the bones removed...then add chopped onions, carrots, celery~ potatoes. (in big pieces) Cook until veggies are tender. Then add canned tomatoes, canned or frozen corn, canned green peas or lima beans (or both) canned green beans... pick and choose the veggies as you like.. :)... salt, pepper, parsley flakes- as you like!

LOL- NO RECIPE- just all guess work!

Hope it turns out good 'cause I invited my sis and BIL to eat dinner with us. They are coming up for some more fruit before the freeze....

Charles just heard on the news of SNOW FLURRIES on the coast!

MAN!!
This is Florida!! What's with the snow flakes?

( HATE this global warming trend! ) :)

Gotta go and do that chicken stew now!

Later,

Poem: For Once I'd Like To Know

...just posting a poem to see if it works!!! (word program)-A little poem of winter, written many years ago!
Looks like it will! :)

I wrote this at a time when my sister was living in Pa, and I in sunny south Flrida!
At times I thought she had the better deal- with the snowy winters- She did not think so! :)


For Once I’d Like to Know



For once I’d like to know the feel of
snowflakes, wet
and cold upon my nose and on my hair…
and yet…

imagine days on days of overcast,
gloomy sky-
without a sight of sunshine-
no birds to sing or fly!

Still…lovely it must be.
The whole world - whitest white!
Transformed so silently -
like magic in the night!

I’m far from winter lands!
So far from ice and snow!
I only can imagine,
can never really know!

Just once I’d like to know,
to really feel somehow…
the touch of snowflakes falling
upon my nose and brow!
