12/29/06 - NNHS Newsletter - "O Winter! ruler of the inverted year, .
. . -
William Cowper |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
While I was selecting the images for today's Newsletter, I had the weirdest (even for me!) flashback. I can't recall which December it was, but definitely between 1954 and 1959. It was of a couple of boxes of Christmas cards that my daddy selected and brought home for us to send. There were two things unusual about this. For one, my daddy didn't trouble himself with such things; that was my mama's job. Secondly, I was not accustomed to seeing Christmas cards of this design and type. They were glossy real photographs of assorted New England snow scenes - all crisp and cold, beautiful white snow, majestic evergreen forests, and the brightest cobalt blue skies. There were no people, no structures, just Mother Nature at her most glorious. They weren't mailed right away (if indeed they ever were), so I had plenty of time to study and admire them. I think that's when I developed such a love of cobalt blue, particularly glass. Such a curious remembrance to suddenly pop into my mind! |

"The owner doesn't want us hanging out with our friends," she said.
"If you stop by, tell them you're my brother."
On my first visit I walked to the customer service desk and asked the
older woman there, "Is Karen around?" When she looked at me quizzically, I
added, "I'm her brother."
She smiled. "What a nice surprise. I'm Karen's mother."
Thanks, Lady!

SENIORS BREAKFAST \\\\\\\\\":
SENIORS BREAKFAST
We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the "seniors' special" was two
eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $1.99.
"Sounds good," my wife said. "But I don't want the eggs."
Then I'll have to charge you two dollars and forty-nine cents because you're
ordering a la carte," the waitress warned her.
"You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?" my wife asked
incredulously.
"YES!!"
"I'll take the special."
"How do you want your eggs?"
"Raw and in the shell," my wife replied.
She took the two eggs home.
DON'T MESS WITH SENIORS... WE'VE BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME!!

GIGGLES!!! Thanks, Glenn - and Happy New Year!
From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 12/28/06 - "more shorthands----note before going to site":
I have been wanting to look these computer abbreviations up for some time. I like a few myself, like WAG and YSS. Funny mostly, but some are offensive, I'm sure, to some; still good to know when there are children you are responsible for; whether your own or just babysitting.
AFAIC, I'm SITD,
WTTM.... WILDER
GIGGLES!!! Thanks again, Shari!

the back of my neck.
Thanks so much, Shari!

Winter Wonderland
Sleigh bells
ring
Are you listening?
In the lane
Snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man
But you can do the job
When you're in town
Later on
We'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down
When it snows
Ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play
The Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland
