Friday Fragments ....

Come play along with Mrs. 4444 today for Friday Fragments.  Pour out the little remnants of your week that didn't make up a whole post.  This time of year, my life feels like a series of little fragments in general.  Wait....that's each and every season of my life!

O.K. we see so many strange sights when we walk before the crack of dawn at 5:30 AM.....there are strange sights that time of day, people!  One morning, walking back into our neighborhood a school boy was waiting for his bus laying in the street with his head propped on his books.  At that age, they see no danger!  Granted, he was right in front of the sign entering our hood, but still....if the bus had just swung a little too far making that turn, he would have been a road pancake!

Another morning, we were again on the way back home, when we walked in front of some apartments with kids yes, again, waiting for the bus so I said in my cheery morning voice "Good Morning!!"  Not a word, NOT A WORD.....no manners children!  Some day you too will be old and you won't have to wait in the predawn hour for the bus to transport you to the dreaded school.  In the meantime, learn to return greetings!

For your viewing pleasure....
See that dimple?  He gets that from his Pappy!  Isn't that the sweetest smile?

This is me in 1958......one of the few times it snowed enough to actually have a snowman......see the dirt and grass mixed in with his snowsuit?  That is a Florida snowman!

News flash!  I am almost completely done with Christmas shopping!  I cannot tell you how much more I enjoy Christmas with that off my mind.  I have actually mailed packages to those I send packages to, and my Christmas cards have gone out......I may have a few that I've left off by pure forgetfulness, and I've actually ordered the Superhero a couple of gifts.  Whew!

*****

We have his office Christmas party tonight, a ladies brunch tomorrow for church and one other Christmas open house before our Christmas Eve service!  I've told the Superhero I want to do supper after the Christmas Eve service at our house this year and keep it simple.  He quipped PB&J's?  I replied quite indignantly.....NO, I'll order pizza!  I like simple!

Unfortunately, at this time of the year, people who suffer from depression and mental issues often take a nose dive.  If that's you this season, I pray the peace that passes all human understanding will guard your heart and mind!  

Have a great weekend and may your days be jolly and bright!!!
