Hats, Hair and Ornaments

Been trying to make it a point to 

wear Santa hats when I go out.

I was going out last night and I had

to decide on which one to wear.

I like the bling shine of this one.

I think Lily liked it too.

But I like the red one the best. The point of

the hat hangs down the side more.

I was going to hear hand bells last night.

I think this makes the 4th yr I have done it.

They come to a church in the next town,

15 minutes away. They play free and you just

drop off a donation. They are amazing.

When I was a baby I had straight black

hair. As I grew and it grew it became

curly and lighter. As a toddler I had curls

all over my head. 

But, when I grew more, it got straighter.

Now, I have a natural wave after having 

straight as a board hair. I am trying to

learn to embrace that look.

I hate taking selfies....haha

Not sure how all you feel about this..

But I for one think there is a place

and time for a phone and in the 

john doing business is not the place! 

  While I have sat around for the last 

couple of days I have been looking 

at the tree and really enjoying it. 

Being retired as allowed me that choice 

where before I was always moving and 

grooving and really never enjoyed it 

as much as I have the last couple of yrs.

Here are some that bring back memories

and there are a lot cause most of mine 

having meaning.

One Christmas working at the TBI all employees 

were given this for a Christmas gift. I love it.

We sold these the yr I worked at the 

Blind School.

  

Got this next one from the Governors office

when I attended a Gov. Christmas party.

This one also. It is of the Governors home.

My boss in Photo Services gave me this

one Christmas.

I have mentioned it before that the three

stars are for the three section of the state...

West, East and Middle TN.

That is our state flag.

Loving my star. I made this last yr.

5 yard sticks from Lowes Hardware.

Electric staple gun to put it together since

the yard sticks are thin. Then I spray painted

it red, applied a 100 lights to it with 

same staple gun, taking care to not staple

through the wires. 

I put it up the weekend after Thanksgiving

and as of yet, I have not turned them off.

I ran by Lowes a week ago and grabbed

five more yard sticks and threw one together

for my daughter. They hung it on their front

deck as soon as I took it to them the other

day. Easy, simple and makes a statement. 

Here is hoping you are all enjoying the 

holiday season. Not pigging out of too 

much sweets! I am doing my best to 

avoid them as well as stratches but it is 

hard and I find myself cheating...

OFTEN!

Cheers to you all.
