Fiddler On The Roof

Odds and Ends

While shopping, I noticed a couple in the shoe department.  Stacks of shoe boxes all around, the husband patiently sat and his wife tried pair after pair.  I noticed some of the shoes, a silver glittery high heeled shoe, a muti-strapped high heeled shoe...I assumed they must be for some formal event.  I did not see the final choice but did hear the comment, "You won't have to worry about getting home, you will just have to click your heels together."

I have lost all my gloves or missplaced or worn them out.  I had no nice gloves for my coat so I spent a whole dollar on a beautiful colorful pair of gloves.  The next day at work a lady, who had heart surgery earlier in the year, came through on her way to the VA with someone else.  She said I am freezing.  When I felt her hands, they were like ice.  I said, put your gloves on and she said I don't have any.  I said wait a minute and gave her my new gloves.  She said I will bring them back, I said no, Merry Christmas.  She was almost crying when she hugged me.  Amazing the pleasure I have received from that one dollar.

What is even more amazing is the two new pair of gloves I have received from a friend and my sister!  Kindness does come back to you.

By Jove, I've Got It!

Time For A Giveaway!!!

Remember the rose?  The wonderful picture Marcy captured one morning while the frost was still on has been made into note cards.

I would like to give a set to two lucky people.  These are blank notecards with the rose on the front.  Perfect for thank you cards, just saying hello, or a way to tell someone you are "frosted" by their behaviour.

So who is going to be the lucky two?

Will draw two names December 22nd.

Quick!  Get your name in the hat.

White River

Wednesday we took a drive to Batesville and drove the back road along the beautiful White River.

It is hard to take a good picture out the window of a  moving car.

Getting closer to the lock and dam.  Ships use to come up this river and there were water locks so they could travel more easily.

I personally knew a guy who was test driving a boat and it would not start.  Randy went over this dam and survived.  Needless to say, he did not buy the boat.
