The holiday hangover

 

 

Thanksgiving is over. and I feel like I just came off an all nighter during fleet week, and dealing with the worse hangover ever.  The parents came in, and We bent over backwards trying to make their stay as nice as possible. But with mom it is hard. We had the news on and all the coverage was about Ferguson. My parents had no clue and we had to explain it all to them.

The weather on Wednesday did not cooperate and here we were all stuck inside this single wide trailer together.
Thanksgiving went okay, then my Uncle ( dads brother) and his lady friend came over for a short visit. I loved the visit because they brought some really yummy goodies.
My parents made a brief appearance this morning, then headed out for the drive home. Yes they made it there okay.
Now, I feel worn out. Like all I want to do is veg out on the couch with Senior. Why is it you like having company, but like it even more when they leave? .  *sigh*

I think I will go warm up some pecan pie and top it off with ice cream.....

Assault on Christmas Village

The fun part about raising boys is you never know what to expect when the house suddenly gets quiet. I worked to set up my lighted Christmas village that I got from my Mother n Law after she passed. I thought it would be nice to set out for our company this week.
I then went to the bed room to fold laundry. The house was eerily quiet. I could hear giggling and the words " lets pretend....."   When those words are whispered and soft laughter, a mother knows something is up.

They came in with those sweet little smiles and said "Mommy we have a surprise".. They told me to close my eyes and led me in to the living room.
When I opened them, my quaint little sleepy village and been over taken by transfomers and an enemy army : 

 

Every Soldier in the House had been drafted for the invasion:

 

Santa was taken hostage and held at gun point. Some how

a Stealth fighter was able to land on the top of the Post Office Super

KUDOS to that pilot:



 

 

Oh Look! even Megatron and Starscream were in on the brutal invasion.

I knew they were behind this! :

 

 

But fortuantly Optimus Prime and his troop of Autobots

came in to save Christmas Village and release all the hostages:

 

 

THANK YOU AUTOBOTS!

You saved the Village and Christmas for all the people  : )

 



 

I guess I should be thankful that this year it was the village that got hit...Last year

Batman and Joker took over the Blessed Nativity and Joker took

the Angel Hostage.

4th of July

“...It will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.”
-John Adams ( in a letter to his wife Abigal shortly after the signing)


Its another 4th of July in our Country. Celebrating our nations birthday, so many have lost sight of  why we have this day. In 1776 the Declaration of Independence was written and signed on July 2nd. That one document changed our world forever. We were a young nation, free of tyranny. It was a real reason to celebrate.
So here we here some 200 + years later...are we still free? Are we still under the effects of tryanny?
hmmmm interesting questions to ponder for this July 4th.  This holiday is so very important to our countries history, I do think that this year July 4th is one of the most important ever, as we the people are once again fighting for our freedoms and fighting to break the chains of tyranny.

I hope you all who read my little blog have a wonderful and safe 4th of July!
