Grandma and Grandpa

I know this happened a month ago, but as I was cleaning my kitchen this weekend, I found it on my table... Part of my stocking present from the Grand-units was this...

Written on an index card...

"Was told that you were good this year.
Always glad to hear it.
With freezing weather drawing near
You'll need to warm the spirit.
So here's a little "snowman's soup"
Complete with stirring stick
Add hot water and sip it slow
It's sure to do the trick."

And in a little Ziploc baggie was a packet of hot chocolate, marshmallows, a couple hersey kisses, and a candy cane. I though that was so sweet. I also got a bunch of pictures from when they were little, courting, and after they had a couple of the Farnand brute... including Daddy. I'll get those scanned in too - i just have to find the cord to my scanner... They made me cry (the photos not the stupid cord).

the hick in me...

and so, i started the evening off watching the golden globes. but i soon became weary of that and so, wrestling - professional wrestling has taken its place. i have not watched wwf --- well this is not wwf -- raw live -- but ya know what -- it's wonderful. it's like, i've always wanted to go to a monster truck rally. i mean, how cool is that - these huge retard trucks running over little minis... ha haa! I LOVE IT!!!!

mini antiques roadshow in lexington...

Me, after talking to an enormous crowd about the Maria plate I just saw...
Me and the owner of the Maria plate...
The enormous crowd waiting to be seen -- oh the treasures...
Wes at our table before the masses arrive...
...and Wes with a couple who brought in a giant whiskey jug from Louisville, which they found in the garbage, that he estimated at $8,000-10,000. Sweet. Gotta love that Kentucky whiskey.

this time of year - better than ezra

i downloaded this song onto my mp3 player - i used to listen to this cd forever - never got tired of it -- well, i hadn't head this song in awhile, and it was one of my favorites on the album...

Well, there's a feeling in the air
Just like a Friday afternoon.
Yeah, you can go there if you want
Though it fades too soon.

So go on, let it be.
If there's a feeling coming over me,
Seems like it's always understood this time of year.

[To Chorus:]
Well, I know there's a reason to change.
Well, I know there's a time for us.
You think about the good times
And you live with all the bad.
You can feel it in the air,
Feeling right this time of year.

Well, there's a football in the air,
Across a leaf blown field.
Yeah, and there's your first car on the road,
And the girl you'd steal.

So go on with yourself
If there's a feeling that there's something else.
Seems like it's always understood
This time of year.

[To Chorus:]
Well, I know there's a reason to change.
Well, I know there's a time for us.
You think about the good times
And you live with all the bad.
You can feel it in the air,
Feeling right this time of year.

Well, there's a feeling in the air
Just like a Friday afternoon.
Yeah, you can go there if you want
Though it fades too soon.

So go on, let it be.
If there's a feeling coming over me,
Seems like it's always understood this time of year.

[To Chorus:]
Well, I know there's a reason to change.
Well, I know there's a time for us.
You think about the good times
And you live with all the bad.
You can feel it in the air,
Feeling right this time of year.
