Today you can Bundle up, relax and let someone else drive.

A short music video for this last week of 2021.

"Sleigh Ride" by Leroy Anderson & His Pops Concert Orchestra

How many words in the Song did You remember?

Love the old pictures and I felt like being in the middle of a Norman Rockwell magazine about even older times. 

We enjoyed a few winter sleigh rides many years ago (but really they were on wagons). It was fun to get out of the house for an activity on a winter night in a park with the kids and then enjoy a campfire.  

It's funny how old memories resurface at Christmas time.

That's it for 2021.

See you soon in 2022.

PS. Thank You for connecting with me through another year.

Happy New Year!!!!

Cheers 🍷 !!

Next week is our last post for 2021. 

I don't know why when you get older

the time goes by so ... fast. 

Where did the time go - What makes your hours pass like minutes

 Here's a quote for us to think about ...

"What did you do as a child that made the hours pass like minutes? 
Here lies the key to your Earthly Pursuits."  Carl Jung

Hi & Welcome

It's that time of year for creating new memories and remembering some past ones, even maybe one of those You totally forgot about ... 

Those things we did as kids or later often came from Santa's delivery or other gifts you got for Christmas.

The books, bikes, dolls, paint kits, microscope skates clothes tools and more.

Did you make clothes for your doll and learn to sew.

Did you paint by number or learn on your own.

Did you ride your bike to check out the neighborhood or find new friends.

Did you get a musical instrument and learn to play or find out you like to sing or maybe start up a band ...

Did those tools create new hobbies or open up other opportunities. 

I still remember those toy trucks, wagons and tiny cars our son got and he's still driving - now big machinery.

I remember my daughter setting her dolls up to teach them something, she's still teaching.

Warning - You may remember lots of things and now have to go shopping.

PS. What are those things where time passes by for You, that doesn't feel like work even if it is ?

Gardening painting baking writing walking drawing pottery reading knitting playing music ... Share some of yours in the comments below. 

Have a great day and thank you for your visit.

Not just 1 but 2 good endings to this story.

Old Christmas memories.

We all have them ...

Dona Anderson

Seems funny that the ones when we  were broke or had problems seem to be  the ones that get remembered years later. 

Those remember when stories ... 

This is one of those.

It was the first Christmas we were married.

We only had one set of little lights so my husband got a small board and put holes in it the shape of a tree for the lights to go in and it lit up our front window. 

It looked great and was our only decoration that year. 

I remember being so happy he made it for us and we didn't need anything else. 

Then on Christmas day we woke up freezing to find out the oil tank for our furnace was empty.  

We were suppose to get an auto refill but obviously that didn't happen.

Finding someone to come out with a special delivery on Christmas Day 52 years ago was difficult, but it happened.  

We got our oil that afternoon.

While waiting we had the oven on for some heat but living on the prairies, it was still very ... very cold.

Luckily we were going to my parents for supper so all was good, another Happy Ending. 

PS. Take care and have a wonderful week ahead.

Do you have some of your own remember when stories to share?

Maybe this one really had 3 happy endings.
