The Drop in Centre

[Sherye Story Reader]

This old lady

is a baby

sometimes when she

hates the degree

that is the temp

so she is a shrimp

even her height

is a sight

cause she is 4'11" tall

so she doesn't have far to fall.

I need a warm back to warm my cold hands on. I am not going to ask for any volunteers but if someone wants to nominate someone for the job then we will just take a vote! lol

The "snowflake" bread turned out ok, I think -- ends of the "points", where you pinch two twisted strands together, didn't all stay sealed but it doesn't look too horrible and smelled ok.

House now smells of ginger and molasses. Not tasted one yet - waiting for them to cool a bit -- but if they taste like they smell they should be delicious.

Part of my panic, I'm sure, is that this will be not only the 1st Christmas SP spends w. the family, but the 1st one w/o mom being around.

Will let all of you know on Friday how it went.

I am thinking about putting in an ad somewhere for a boytoy, but the only problem I have is which one of us is going to be able to handle one another in fun things! I am in a thinking position rubbing my chin and there is another problem, I think the thinking went out the door running scared! lol

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all in the DIC. Let's all hope and pray that 2021 is a far better year than 2020.

if you can, consider sharing a little with a local charity this Christmas...  as the song goes...

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat, please put a penny in the old man's hat, if you haven't got a penny a ha'penny will do, if you haven't got a ha'penny, then God bless you.

OMG... I haven't heard that song in years...and yes I sang it in my head as I was reading it! 

Many of the stores around here ask if you would like to round up your purchase to benefit whatever charity they support. I usually do that all year long. Over the course of a year it adds up but it's worth it.

And is fairly painless.

on thing i do year around is with Amazon they have a charity program. They will do donate a % of your purchase to a local charity of your choice. It’s thru there smile program and this year my local lgbt group has gotten money. Painless to me but helps the group out.

I do that when I use Amazon.com to purchase gifts for my family in MA. Can’t remember the name, but it’s a dog rescue. 
 

the local grocer has food bags made up that can be purchased at the check out. Just buy a bag and put it in the drop box. The Dropbox was full to overflowing, so I put the bag on the floor, because I didn’t want to trigger an “avalanche” the pile looked so precarious.

Merry Christmas to all!

Well, work is done. Off for the next 5 days. I got home and wrapped presents with minimal swearing. I think the hardest part about getting ready for Christmas is remembering where the hell you hid stuff 🤷‍♀️. Two gift cards are MIA, but they'll show up. I hope. 

The best part of all is my older boy just walked through the door ❤❤

Enjoy your Christmas Eve everyone!

Merry Christmas everyone. I'm stuffed with a lot of...stuff. But I won't say what stuff I stuffed in my stuff.

I am still looking for a set of router bits I bought for my brother back in 1988. He dropped in as mom and I were sorting packages, I stashed his gifts including the bits behind the sofa. 32 years later...

Is there something wrong with the ceiling in this pic?

There's nothing wrong with a good stuffing 😋

Hi DiC!    
Wishing you all an early, very Merry Christmas. However you celebrate, I hope you have a joyous holiday season. 

@Mikiesboy I’m wishing you an early Happy Birthday as well, tim. Best wishes for the coming year and many happy returns! 
 

Take care, you all. Be safe and stay well. xoxo

Amen!

Meanwhile, we got hit by another earthquake over here. I thought I was just dizzy with all the stuffing of stuff in my stuff. Or maybe my neighbors are doing some good stuff again. Our earthquakes are getting more and more frequent lately. And getting stronger, too.

EDIT: News reports said it was a 6.5 magnitude. Yikes!
