Monday's News-Weekend Update.

We had a great Christmas and weekend. First of all Santa brought me a Large Picture of himself. He is Checking the list, Checking it twice.... Oh I just love that song! Well it will go up in the Santa room.
I Love the smell of Lavender, so hubby and daughter got me a set of lavender products. After opening the gift hubby says "Now you can smell like an old lady". I just laughed at him, because he has to smell it and if it reminds him I'm an old lady , then he must be an old man.

Now if you have been to my Kitchen you know my joy of cooking. My Daughter gave my a new Apron, I collect them. Have a collection from all over the world. Even places I haven't been but want to go. Some of my Holiday aprons I have made. One of my aprons I have had for forty years! Oh yeah I still wear it in the summer.

A new laptop was given by my hubby. That was a surprise because Hubby usually gives me refurbish ones. He being a computer geek and all. My old laptop was on its' last breath, it was also on its' second life after death! I will have plenty to do the next week,transferring files.

Went to my dad's on Saturday. Arrived rather late the traffic was very bad! What normally takes us 3 to 4 hrs took 0ver 7 hour. We watched Polar Express on an old DVD player I brought along, It helped us stay awake when the sun went down . Love the movie and haven't seen it for a few years. Still a Great show!

Went to Church and saw Granny, she is 92 and still going strong. We will go over to their house today. So Tell me something You received for your Holiday.

I found this photo at Lemon Tree kids I was just so taking with it. I had to check this guy Julian Beever out.
This is so amazing to me. I have only seen it in videos and photos. Would love to see one in person. Could you imagine walking down the street and bumping into this.
This one was published in The Daily Mail on Christmas Eve 2007.

My Seasons Favorite Song Weekend

"Believe" is a 2004 song from the movie "The Polar Express". It was released in 2004 in theaters and Made a big hit. In following years Believe was preformed in School Orchestras and Adult Orchestra around the country. My daughter played at in Middle school with the Symphonic Orchestra, I loved it. Many fond memories flow back each time I here Josh Groban sing it. We have the movie and watch it each Christmas season.
A Little Information on the song;The words and music were written by Glen Ballard and Alan Silvestri, and the song was performed by Josh Groban. The song is included on the film soundtrack. The songwriters received a Grammy for Best song written for a Motion Picture, Television or other Visual Media.
If you haven't seen the Movie, grab a copy at a library, store or rent it. It is worth the time and money. This video are made up of clips from the movie. Josh Groban is singing it as in the original version.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT.........
