Life Through the Eyes of my Scattered Brian

 Although Lily has gone from this to  meowing loudly but either way, she knows how to  do a wellness check. Then we have this girl. Such an innocent face and  behavior.... But I am thinking it is not so innocent. I have found that there are times I think she is doing things just to tick Lily off. Like coming into the room when I am loving on  Lily, cause she knows Lily  will get pissed and run.  The life of CATS! But if you look behind the pic of Misty you will see that the shelves are bare and right above her backend, Santa hats are stacked and ready to pack. Working on things slowly.  In working slowly to get the  Christmas stuff away I thought I would share this, Father Christmas. In 1995 I started selling Christmas Around the World. The kit to sell cost 150 bucks at that time. You would get your kit and the first 150 bucks of sales paid for it and it became mine. I had to be able to answer questions without looking through the catalog...

RIP  Pres. Jimmy Carter  100 years old.    After all is said and done,  we had a lot of room under the tree, so Misty and I chilled for a bit under it. Even I got under there! haha  This is the new tree I bought when I moved in to put up this yr. I love it but was so surprised when I opened it and saw the lights on it. Not your normal small lights. But they are cool. I am hoping that you had a great holiday and a  very Merry Christmas. I had a lot of family time and  being a photographer, you would have thought I had taken a lot of  pics..... NOPE!  I am slipping. Christmas Eve was at my  house and I had a nice  spread of finger foods,  which there are no pics to prove it! haha We had veggies and dip ham, cheese sandwiches or chicken salad sandwiches, pizza rolls, chips, little smokies in bbq sauce, and  sausage balls.  Along with Rice Krispie treats, choc fudge and  brown sugar fudge. Then gifts. Christmas ...

Morning.... I am writing this  post on the Merriest Day before Christmas Eve!  haha Anyway, continuing with  our mini class/classes reunion. We have a classmate, Darren that lives with his wife in NM. They were flying in to spend Christmas with his mom. He wanted to see as many folks as he could. With the help of  other classmates, this was pulled  together. Middle guy is Darren and that is Jill his wife beside him. The taller guy is Mark.  Darren and Jill bought a house  in NM that they have pretty  much striped down and redone. Mark lives about 2.5 hours outside of Nashville. He lived in TX., for years but had land in TN. that he built on a few years ago and moved back home. Mark also has family that  that date back into TN history. His great grandfather was being  honored with a wreath laying a  few years ago and Mark contacted me to see if I would shoot it for him. I did of course.  You can read about this here~ Honoring a ...
