I couldn't reply, without clicking first! All clicked, now. Almost got blown down today, with a hard wind blowing in from the ocean! It was raining lightly, but was icy! 35 degrees this morning! It snowed in North Jersey, where the mountains are!
Put up the Christmas tree and my village, today. Putting up my dollhouse from the 50's, tomorrow. I'm really excited. My village has a gazebo, a lighthouse, a one room schoolhouse a Cathedral and an old mill! I have a miniature jazz band, on a fake ice rink, 4 street corner singers, people shopping, trees, snowmen, 2 street signs, 2 American Flags, kids on sleds and a miniature train. It's the world I dream of; the town called "Perfect"!
My tree is a tabletop version, for high rise dwellers, like me, but it is decorated with Fleur de Lis, Pelicans and all things, New Orleans. Can't be there, so I brought my home, here!
My dining room is decorated in Fall decor, for Thanksgiving, but because of my schedule, now is the only time I can "do" Christmas! I bought Christmas gifts for my auxiliary friends, in late summer, (August), so that I don't forget anyone. My gifts aren't expensive, they're just thoughtful. I love the look on someone's face when they get one of my unexpected gifts. I always say, that these are the ones, I love getting, even if it only cost a couple of bucks!
I'm cooking for homeless veterans on 11/30. This will be my second year. My Legion Post, will be donating, long johns, hats, gloves, hooded sweats and toilet items, to the Veterans who reside at Lyons Hospital, here, in NJ. Back in 95', when I was President of my Unit, the veterans from Veterans Haven, the first residence for homeless veterans, visited my post and we did the same thing; huge dinner and gifts and money, for personal items.
I found a thank you letter, from one of the men and had a moment of remembrance, warm and fuzzy. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
