Christmas Spirits?

 


My favorite Santa is the 2-foot-tall Paper Mache, given to me 30 plus years ago by my daughter-in-law Michelle, my son Dan' wife. In the Spirit of Christmas, I have a sweet story for you


Say What Want

 Unable to remember where I found raisins last, I tapped my WM app on the phone, and it directed me to A/17. 
Aha! the very aisle I was standing in, spying the cute little Jamaican Girl 4 feet away putting Stock on the shelves, I asked her if she could point me to the Raisins.

Pulling our her phone, she tapped it twice, held it out and with a huge grin on her face, said Say What Want! With a big grin on my face, I said Raisins. 
Up came A/17 the very one she was stocking, the very one I had just searched in vain.

I threw my hands up in the sign language for Well where are they?
We started to search together, and she pointed and started to laugh. 
Pointing while laughing the hand signal for THERE they are!  
She was so cute, so sweet and despite our language barrier and my interrupting her work, she helped me to find them.

It was fun, and I was happy and so was she. The thing is some dastardly person had placed the same type of box behind the first one and I grabbed 2 and when I got home One of them was Chocolate Covered Raisins. Bob has eaten all of them and I ran out of raisins, but he was thrilled.

this was posted on Fourpawsetc by accident, I deleted it and added it here. this is one reason i am not doing two blogs. Memory is shot

I'm A Little Teapot, or NOT

 


I am the queen of make do, and DO anything to save a penny or dollar.

The Make Do Teapot
I am a little teapot, short and stout,
I use the measuring cup, or do with out.
Fill with water and pop it in the microwave 
The water boils and dollars I save.
I take my cup and add fennel tea,
I pour the boiling water in and as you can see,
with a lid that goes on unused cans of dog food,
while the tea steeps,
Two minutes to make, and 10 to steep
I have a hot fennel tea, and my make do tea set is ready and I am still cheap!
My cost free,
the cup was 50 cents, the lid was free, the measuring cup was 1.00, and owned by me,
they are old, as old as can be, and now my tea set you can see

🫖🍵🫖


Pieces of my little tree, Just for you from me.

Hi, My Name is Beau



Blog Author, Mama & Co-author Beau. You can guess whom is who, or who is whom?

My name is Beau and I have my own blog, Fourpawsetc, and have been blogging there with the help of my Mama, since Oct 13th, 2020, when I was adopted by Mama and Daddy. 

We are all 3 in our 80's and health issues have changed things. To make life easier, Mama is migrating me from Fourpawsetc to MadSnapper as her co-host.

Those of you who KNOW me well, will have one less blog to keep up with and those who don't know me, will know me well and soon.

The tab at the top of this blog that is labeled Beau, will give you  the story of my gotcha day on Oct 13th 2020. There is a Tab for each of us.

 It easy to see my blog, look up to your left and click the picture of me that says MY BLOG.. there are 6 of us Canine on there.

This is ME! doing what I do best. Mama showed this to Daddy and said I found out why you and I keep tripping on the rug. I heard her say a few days ago, I have tripped on this rug 3 times in the past two days and its been there since 2005 so what ups with that?     The culprit is BEAU! look at that paw raising up the rug. Aha!
