Bye Fall, Hello Holiday Season
I wish I could slow time again so that I could enjoy all the days that used to torture me when I was a kid.
It's funny, kid time is much longer than grown-up time. Holidays seemed to be almost years apart rather than months. On November 30 of, say, 1964 there was no use in trying to figure out how many days until Christmas vacation. It was just too many and that's that.
Now the months feel like minutes to me.
We're almost into 2004, and once I blink my eyes it'll be New Year's Eve already.
I know I can't slow time down and so I might as well just enjoy each day and try to remember everything that happens. If I sit and think about it too hard, I'll totally boggle my own mind ... it's like what happens when I think to myself that I am almost fifty years old! Wow! That seemed such a great and ancient age 30 years ago. Now, of course, it's a very young age. 80 is old! ;-)
I am so thrilled! TB found a clip of "Yingle Bells" by Yorgi Yorgesson. I heard the song again for the first time in ... what? 30 years? It's funny that I was so impressed by the lyrics and the humor that I remembered it after so long. It was wonderful to listen to it!
1. How many people and pets live in your home?
There are five people and three pets here in our happy home. :)
2. Do you rent, own or live at home?
When we pay off the mortgage, we'll own our home!
3. How many rooms are in your house?
Counting bathrooms, there are 11 rooms -- I think.
4. Is there enough room in your house to comfortably accommodate overnight guests?
Finally! Yes!!!
5. How close do your neighbors live? Do you know them well and are they welcome in your home?
We are in a suburb so while the houses aren?t on top of each other, we?re also not too far apart. I don?t know any of the neighbors very well but they are all welcome here ? for now. One neighbor ... I wrote about these folks earlier ... is about to become disinvited because she's becoming a real pain in the hiney!
I say ? and you think ?
- Scrooge:: Christmas

I agree with you about how the time seems to go by much faster as we grow older. What's that all about anyway?? I used to hear adults say that when I was a kid and now I say it to mine. But one thing we realize as adults that I don't think most kids think about is to enjoy every precious moment we have. We never know how many more there are for us.........Have a great week! =)
