I have always been a fan of Stevie Nicks and her music. She has made some awesome videos, too.
I love just about every song that she has done on her own, and I love the songs by Fleetwood Mac. I know I have at least three of their albums in my music collection.
The center pieces that I ordered from http://www.proplants.com/ were a bit hit at yesterday’s Christmas dinner. My mother is a very difficult person to please, she seems to always find something to find fault with each and every time I host an event at my house. Last year she was very unhappy with the decorative turkeys that I used for centerpieces at Thanksgiving, she didn’t like the fact that she had to look at a turkey butt during the whole meal! This year she was most pleased with my selection from ProPlants.
Just got started settling in after the big Christmas dinner when the house phone rang with an old school friend on the other end calling to wish me a Merry Christmas. This was just so totally out of the blue since we don’t really communicate with each other all that much, but it was really cool hearing from her. She just recently married a nice looking raleigh accountant and moved south to live out the rest of her years in the warmer weather than she has been dealing with in Vermont for the past 25 years or so.
That was a nice Christmas surprise hearing from her, a nice way to end the day of Christmas 2011.
One of my favorite songs from long ago is “Stand By Me.” I just love the idea of having someone in your life so loyal to you that they would be by your side – no matter what.
Then a movie came out with that title. It was a really good movie – very well written and totally believable dialogue and story line. Haven’t seen that movie in a very long time, so I thought it would be fun to pop it in the DVD player and watch it while doing laundry and some general housework.
Was looking through some old photos with my daughter today that I found in a box in my closet while stashing some Christmas gifts away where the kids can’t get their paws on them. These particular pictures were of my parents summer home on the water, back when they still had the log cabin on the property. I loved that old log cabin with all of it’s lodge furniture in it and the screened in porch that wrapped all the way around 3 sides of it. My father had us all convinced that Daniel Boone had built that log cabin. I remember how my heart was broken when I later learned that he had just made that up.
