CMS Rock Star

We have enjoyed a couple weeks of preseason football games. Now I am ready for the real season to begin. I have been reading up on all the injuries and team gossip. I think this will be a very interesting year for many teams.

There are more and more commercials on TB with celebrities talking about various products and services. I think that some of them are lacking in integrity. Do all these celebrities really take the medicines they are bragging about? Do they really own and use the ovens and blenders and other gadgets that they are promoting? I think there should be full disclosure as to whether a celebrity is just being paid for their face and voice or do they truly represent what they say?

My aunt called our house today.  She lives in Tennesee.  She was telling us that they’ve had so much rain this month that they have not been able to get outside and rake up the leaves in their yard. This really bothers her. she likes to have a nice looking yard and the leaves are laying in layers and bunches out there – taunting her. So today she is expecting a break in the weather. Sunshine, low wind and temperatures that will let you work in just a flannel shirt instead of a heavy winter jacket.

I just had to laugh at the conversation because our yard is buried in about eighteen inches of snow!  If there are any leaves out there on OUR lawn, we can’t see them!

If you have a big family, I suspect you know all too well the stress of hosting a big family gathering. Whether it is a sit down dinner for everyone or a buffet or a pot luck, getting ready to feed a large crowd takes a lot of planning and energy.Time to roll up our sleeves and get cooking.

We hope to have a few of the closer family members stop by this afternoon and then we’ll host another get-together on New Year’s Day for the other family members who can’t make it here on Christmas Day.

Here’s hoping our holidays are warm and bright. Merry Christmas!

Best wishes to you and your family for a wonderful day of feasting and thankfulness. Maybe a parade inthe morning and some football in the afternoon would be nice, too. Or get up extremely early and go deer hunting. Whichever way you choose to take advantage of the holiday, I hope it works out well for you and that you enjoy your day.
