The artistic hand of Fishy has brightened my holidays. All of them. Fish of Gold’s hand-drawn card (then printed out) arrived by U.S. post yesterday morning. Fishy gave me a smile with her snow person up front visiting from the left coast, and many smiles with her inside message. I am now wished thoroughly well,…
One week ’til Christmas. Are you over the moon yet? Now just because I wasn’t out there stringing lights and putting out lawn ornaments at the adored Little Bitty of my dear wife Karen and I in our Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood doesn’t mean that I’m not into the spirit of individuality at this…
Yes, that is a squirrel doing what you think it might be doing. Oh, nuts, I thought after I ripped open my Christmas card from Bill, the wonderful creator over at Evil Squirrel’s Nest. Earlier this month, ESN declared on his blog that he had 20 pieces of his hand-drawn artwork featuring his recurring furry…
The first been-there, done-with-that Christmas trees of this season appeared at curbside in my Syracuse city neighborhood on the morning of Dec. 29. Two of them were set out, in fact, out of the couple hundred houses that Ellie B, aka Dogamous Pyle, and I passed on our 45-minute, Sunday a.m. walk. Ellie B made…
No day-after-Christmas depression here. I won’t let it happen. Yes, it’s quite natural to feel some of the air gone out of the sails when the big holiday is gone. But this year’s two-day celebration was so very good. Elisabeth and boyfriend George shared their Christmas Eve with us. Everybody loved the full array of…
Today is a day to reflect, appreciate and rejoice. Even Ellie B, aka Dogamous Pyle, appears to be in the proper spirit. Two days ago, I caught our dear rescue mutt pausing her usual morning routine. Dog spots bunny at the back of the yard. She does not rush out and pursue, like she does…
Everybody is on high alert today for that magical sight and sound of Santa and his sleigh. On “Today” right now, the announcer is tracking the process thanks to web site Noradsanta.org. “Just a few moments ago, Sapporo, Japan,” Mario reported excitedly. Here in Syracuse, N.Y., Ellie B, aka Dogamous Pyle, and I discovered that…
The weekly garbage pickup in my Syracuse city neighborhood comes every Tuesday morning. My neighbor across the street got hers out this afternoon. Talk about timing. On Christmas Eve, this Santa will say bye-bye. I am certain my neighbor is not a Grinch, by the way. Her house is decorated for the holiday. She bakes…
‘Tis three days before Christmas And all through the house My dear wife Karen need not scurry For once wrapped, I place all her presents in full sight Does that make me a louse? OK, enough with the prose. There is a reason you will not find poetry as a category or a tag on…
