This is the Christmas card design that I chose this year. I like the idea of a white Christmas. And I have always loved eagles. This card is perfect for me to share with the people I love. I hope they look at it and realize how much this illustrates my feelings and my heart.
Friends want to go to Six Flags for the day next Saturday. I’ve never been. Six Flags sounds like fun, but I’ve never been on many thrill rides.And it is very expensive for just one half day of “fun.”
There used to be a little carnival that would come around to the mall parking lots. And the state fair always has some. But I feel stupid admitting that the biggest ride I’ve been on was the big ferris wheel at the state fair a few years ago. So this should be an adventure if I go.
A friend of mine was in a spot and needed to borrow a few dollars. I felt the need to help her out, so I wrote a check for her to take to her bank. I assumed she would deposit my check and write a couple checks from her account to pay the bills. But it turns out that she does not have a bank account and needed to cash the check at my bank so she could buy money orders to pay her bills. Well, that didn’t turn out so good, as there are no local branches of my bank anywhere around where she lives. She had to give me back my uncashed check and just borrow money from a neighbor who had cash in hand.
That’s very frustrating – you would think that in today’s world there would be a better system of making places available to take care of your money matters.
This made me laugh because my dad and stepmom had a big papasan chair exactly like this one. Even the orange cushion was the same. We used to love that chair. Once you get in it, the chair and cushion is so comfortable you don’t want to get up out of it.
Tonight I want to go to the movies. I just found a theater that has dropped their ticket prices to just $1.50 – yes, that just a buck fifty! They have a movie I really want to watch, starring Clint Eastwood. The movie is called Gran Torino. My dad used to have a 1971 orange Gran Torino and he looked a lot like Clint Eastwood, except taller and my Dad’s hair was much darker. So I want to see this movie.
