The wind is howling, now. I have the window cracked just enough that it make that whistling noise, it reminds me of Granny Jennie's old house. The windows could be all the way down and it made that same noise. I miss that old house. It fell in on itself from neglect and termites.
If you have not bought the book "Elf on the Shelf" stop what your doing and go get it right now. I have laughed so hard at my grand kids and want everyone to have the same experience.
You tell this story about how Santa sends elves to watch the boys and girls and he reports back to him every night what he has seen or heard. Funny........when the boys realized he was going to tell on them, the apologies started flying. They would stand reverantly in front of the little gnome and start explaining or begging him not to tell the Big guy.... It is so worth the $$$.
The book has the elf in it and then I purchased an additional elf so I could keep one at my house. I sent the other with Janie and her stories are hilarious. Kharley is great with all of this and she is milking it for all it is worth.
We will be having the McKenzie Christmas Dec 4 (first Sat in Dec) and I sent out the letters with the menu on it. First time I have ever got any feedback, So if anyone out there is reading this we will NOT be HAVING STEW!!! It will be a Mexican Buffet.
And NO I was not thinking about the children...I was thinking about me. I love stew, I know the children won't eat stew...no child can look at a big black cast iron wash pot and think, yum yum, what's for lunch coming out of that!!!??? So Enchiladas it is....We have so much fun at this Christmas party, we started having it at our house when Kent's grandPa Hugh died. Once a year you should gather what family you have left and celebrate being a family, no matter how little it is.
Okay I hear a Klondike Bar calling my name......so good nite to all and to all a good nite. NEN

Where have I been?
to tell the truth I never went anywhere I forgot my password. This time I wrote it down., if I can just remember to not throw it away.
It's been so long I can't think of what i wanted to say, so i will just wing it.
We let Janie and Jeff have a Halloween party at our house, it was a lot of fun. Hayride, lots of kids and the spooky bridge, fun fun, Mackey the dog to the Neighbors, followed us the whole time, we know how very protective he is of the kids and got worried when the boogers jumped out of the creek, that Mackey would eat them alive. So we stopped the hayride, got Janie and Kharley to coax Mackey into the back seat of Kent truck. This is a huge dog that has never rode in a pickup, Kharley got him to sit down, we cracked the windows just a little and off we went to the "spooky bridge" about half mile or so we got to smelling the worst awful greenish odor..Kent looked at me while I was looking at him and I said "well do you feel better" then Mackey made a noise and we both about puked. All 4 windows now are all the way down fan on high trying to get the dog fart smell out of the truck, believe me it was the worst smell EVER!!! And it was Cold outside that night too. Finally the "spooky bridge" was with in sight. And we were right about Mackey, he would have tore them boys up! After a while and all the kids settled down, we let Mackey out of the truck, he did his business and he politely ask the "Boogers" if they would mind taking him back home. They were kinda scared of him at first but Jeff came over and coaxed him into Doug's truck...Kent and I just started laughing, Doug has a single cab pickup and Mackey was in the middle....aint no escaping that.
Looking forward to the upcoming Holiday's. Jeannette will come in and help me and Kent get all decked out for Christmas. Love it Love it. She will be coming up a little before Thanksgiving and by the time she leaves, it will look like Santa Land around here. WE have been invited to be in the tour of homes this year, so I am looking forward to her putting her magic touch on the place. I hope and wish she could just stay until the first of the year, (that way she can help take it all down as well)
This will be my first Christmas holiday off from my job. In the past I have always had to go up during the holidays and work. I no longer hold that position or have that worry anymore. I am soo looking forward to some time off.
Okay that is about all I can do for tonight, it maybe a while before I get back so If i miss you during the upcoming Holidays, I wish you all Glad Tidings...and to all a good night. Nen!
