[My] Life in Wisconsin

Red Stockings... and a Wedding! (?)

Good Monday Morning Friends and Family; GREEN BAY PACKER fans (and fanatics) too!

How very exciting is this?

One one short week before Christmas; only a fortnight before 2007 arrives with its hopeful face in all of its glory!!!!

The photo above was taken last Christmas, as Valerie was donning her red stockings. It is a tradition here; dedicated to my mother, that all who partake of my little brunch wear red stockings. Even the very tiniest and the newest of humans wear the red!

My mom always had red socks- They were warm, and there were very few days that she did not have them on... (Wish my PSC would be working once again because you could see her sexy little feet in those socks)! Her red socks, almost a trademark for her, were even worn to meet her Maker when she passed! Now I have heard stories that when one goes to Heaven that they are met in the very same clothing they were buried in. God has a sense of humor if this is true, because think of all the nude bodies that have been cremated; and then think of all the pretty stockings too! Since my own beliefs waver a far cry from all of that, He recognized only her soul and her spirit when she showed up at His doorstep!

I shall have to type fast this morning- Miss Valerie is coming to babysit me for today and tomorrow, and I have not even gotten in the shower yet. I am glad she is 5 because she will inderstand what she can/cannot do while I am in there. Usually she will just sit and chat with me anyway. A good thing.

A(nother) restless night; having made the mistake of napping in the afternoon, and so could not fall to sleep when I should have. Again I found myself writing cards out in the wee hours of the morning! (Think this falls under the "whatever it takes" line of thought)! Not finished. People will just have to understand... (but if they know me, they already do)! hehehe

And for the last minute 'do-it-yourself'(ers) and crafty-type people, here is a link to handmade FAST gifting that doesn't cost an arm and a leg! CLICK HERE.

Time to get my backside in motion for the day... My mouth feels like a pincushion. (What's up with that)?

"I DO" believe that Miss Jennifer and Aaron are "Merry~Marrying" this afternoon! (Please take a moment to click on her name there and to visit her blog and leave a comment or two to wish them well)!

Does anyone else have an anniversary in December?

(Does anyone else wear red stockings on Christmas)?

Time to fly! Have a 'wunnaful' Monday!

XOXO

God Bless Us, Everyone!
