'Tis (or t'is?) the season: A grammar quiz

http://whatis.techtarget.com/quiz/Tis-or-tis-the-season-A-grammar-quiz

I'm posting this one for Ms. Beejay, who loves her grammar police badge. We love her for it, too!
  
The quiz is a little frustrating, in that you have to keep clicking back and forth for the answers. It is a good one, though, because it explains why the answer is correct.

        
Since it is almost Christmas, I'll give you a "two-fer" on this blog. This is the webpage where you can copy an emoji and paste into your blog, and it actually works!

I'm hoping your holiday is sweet, healthy, and relaxing!

Christmas must be near

Here are my two Christmas Cactus plants in full bloom. I'm amazed on how they thrive on neglect.

We Are Getting Closer!

Coffee...I need coffee

I'm up, but that's all I can say! The older I get, the fewer nights I sleep through. I seem to wake up about three and finally return to slumberland about 4:30.

Happy Wednesday

Yes, she needs her suit. Still hot here in FL. Have a great day, folks.

Drama Llamas

Over the years, I've joined several groups on Facebook. Some days the drama gets so deep. I think I need a llama with a crown. If anyone has one, send it to me! These guys, by the way, belong to my brother. Lolly and Ollie. Don't start drama around them, they'll spit in your eye! Promise!

Your llama with a crown has been delivered.
Rainbow included with no extra charge.

Santa Claus

I started reminiscing about Christmases past today. I find these time of the year both joyful and a bit depressing at the same time. While I'm in a good place at this stage of my life, I look back at all the loved ones I've lost over the years. The first really close loved one I lost was my Uncle Lyle. I was 23 years old. Uncle Lyle was our "Santa Claus." when I was a little over six, my mother decided it was time to "expose" Santa. We lived in an old drafty farmhouse with stove pipes which ran straight up to the second floor. There was a decorative grate around that stove pipe that could be opened or closed. Normally, somehow that grate was always closed on Christmas Eve. This year, it was not. When Santa came, we would hear "ho-ho-ho" and sleigh bells. This year, when we hear the sleigh bells, we peered down through the grate. There was Uncle Lyle! I knew it, I knew it. Santa Claus was none other than my Uncle Lyle! I just knew that to be true. When friends at school told me there was no Santa, I enlightened them as to his true identity. Darn right! Years later, when sweet Uncle Lyle died, I said my Santa had existed in my heart to that time. He was a wonderful uncle to us and a great Santa! You see, throughout the year while we lived in Oconto County, we would find gifts left around for us. We found hockey skates, roller skates, baseball gloves, dolls, etc. No, not just on Christmas, but all year long. My folks didn't have much money, but we had Uncle Lyle, a priceless treasure!

Warning to kk.. I'm trying to post pictures!

My ice globes. It was cold enough for these to freeze in 24 hours. What else ya gonna do in the winter?

Happy Holidays!

We took our pooch to Petco for her visit with Santa this weekend. She was well behaved. I, however, almost pulled Santa's beard off when I picked her up from his lap. I may have been banned from that store!
