Feb 7 2024--Found it!

 

This sign has been "missing" for a while. As in, I could NOT remember where I put it when it was stashed away to make room for Christmas Decor. Old age. I looked and looked and looked. Mike looked. My brother Robert looked. Gail came today and asked where my "Families are Forever sign was." My answer: "I DON'T KNOW!!!!" So we went hunting and I finally found it. In the storage room, upright, on the floor, turned around so it looked just like the wooden end-wall it was leaning against. Whew. My mantle was looking a bit bare.

Thanks, Gail, for going 'hunting ' with me!

Vehicle warning symbols

 Someone posted these on Facebook and EVERY time I read them, I laugh out loud. I saved the image and am now sharing it with you. 

Particularly amusing to me was that I was instructed to "Restring my Harp". Repeatedly! I don't even OWN a harp. 

We did finally figure out the tire thing, however. It actually took a trip to the garage and a re-set to do it, not just adding air to said tire. Or Harp. Whatever. 

May you also get a good chuckle out of this, but NOT wake yourself up giggling as you ponder these when drifting off to sleep. ( It's happened to me.)

New hair length

 But it is the same ole style. I guess I'll keep it. Ha. It is amazing how many hair stylists comment on my hairs' thickness. If only they'd seen it 25 years ago! It seems way thinner now than it was then, especially if you judge by the diameter of a pony tail. 

Post-Christmas Amaryllis

 

 Caroline gave us a flower for Christmas this year. It's blooming!

So pretty.

It is surely the shortest stem I've ever seen on one of these.

Donna brought me some seeds from her plants, which were Dad's that he propagated in his Georgia greenhouse. I should really get those planted. There are enough seeds to share, so if you want some, let me know. Red and candy cane red and white variegated. 

Picture from 1/26/2026:

It's hard to find the best angle to capture all the blooms!

Jan 20, 2026 Avatar Fire and Ash

 Mike and I went to the theater on Tuesday to see "Avatar: Fire and Ash". It was long. Two potty breaks long(haha) . But we did have a drink and popcorn. 

I really liked it. Lots of long battle scenes and I couldn't tell who was who, so that's when I made my break.  

I liked the spiritual messages, that we are connected to each other forever, that spirits live on, people don't die and disappear but can help us, that we need to take care of our planet. There were plenty more messages as well.

Mike and I sat ALL the way through the credits. I'm weird like that.  For as much computer stuff that this film is , and there's A LOT, the longest list of names in the credits was for the music! That was a surprise to me. I suppose the many different Types of Computer Generated Images were divided up in separate areas, so together they would have out numbered the music

 Just an observation.
