Hello, my holiday treats!
How are you? I am chilled, hear
me brrr. While online two nights ago, I
noticed that the outdoor temperature dropped to 19 degrees. The teens, oh
my. Soon the single digits will be
coming along. When that happens, I am
going into hibernation in my bedroom closet.
Wake me in the spring. If only it
was that easy. Be prepared, my dears,
for the worst in terms of winter. I say
that not as a psychic predication, but as an admission that even I cannot foretell
Mother Nature’s behavior. Nobody of this
world. So, pray for the best, but expect
the worst. We all know how brutal a Wisconsin
winter can be. Don’t be caught with your
pants down. Because it will be chilly.
Friday past was known as Black Friday and
Monday was called Cyber Monday. What
most people don’t know is that the Saturday between them is Psychic
Saturday. Psychic Saturday is when most
psychics do their holiday readings and conjuring. I’m already done, with something for
everyone.
Have any of you driven through the new roundabout in front
of City Hall? All that pavement and
landscaping and hardscaping seem to me to smack of conspicuous
consumption. That is, it doesn’t say to
me, “We had deteriorating streets at the intersection and we wanted to make it
as safe as possible.” What it does say
to me is, “Look at all the bells and whistles, everybody, woo hoo! Oh, and keep your eyes on the road.” However, as a monument to government
overspending, it’s in the right location.
I also wanted to comment on Mr. OrbsCorbs’ blog, “I'm
Grateful for the Education I Received,” http://www.jtirregulars.com/2012/11/im-grateful-for-education-i-received.html That brought a tear to my eye and filled my
heart with gratitude. It’s so true that
the things we take for granted are often the best things that we have. Just being born in this country puts us at an
enormous advantage over the rest of the world.
I stop at times and give thanks for all that I have and I am. Give thanks, at least once a day.
That’s my blog for this week, my lovely Irregulars and
groupies. Thank you for visiting with me today.
I am always grateful for your company.
I am always ready to say, “I love you.”

I’ve worn my winter jacket and my winter coat is ready to
go. Bundle up, my bunnies. You never know when the dreaded s-word may
appear. Stay warm. Susurration!

Thank you for the thank you, Mme. Z.
Thank you for keeping us honest, Madame. I am very grateful for all that I have. I've never known real hunger, always appropriately warm and cool depending on the season, great kids, a useful job, more clothes and "stuff" than anyone needs... and great friends and people who love me.
If you can afford it, please drop a bill or two into the red kettles or some other worthy charity. There are many who have worked hard and still find themselves in need of a hand. Times are rough and good people are hurting.
Thanks for the Winter forecast Ma Z. Last year we had such a wimpy Winter. My maple tree needs a good hard chill for a few weeks so the sap flows properly. Last year was a real let down for quantity. Everybody waited so long for the hard chill, we missed what there was. It's such a shame having to buy store syrup. Also expensive, but proper tea and cakes deserve the real thing. The real thing, just like you Ma Z.

The red kettles I can handle. The one I will not donate to is the Red Cross the way the miss managed millions and millions and millions of dollars during hurricane Katrina.
What they should do is charge to stop ringing. Then they'd get loads of donations.
