Snow? unfortunately, we don't have that here in the Philippines.. ...i love to see snow, too. I love Christmas carols, Decors, all about Christmas...traditions...like SImbang Gabi (Midnight Mass which begins 16th of Dec and ends the 24th)...it's a happy gathering. and that's few more weeks to go!!!

Monday once again and the weather is fine here. The weather news said there is still three more typhoons that will hit the country before the year ends...how sad

anyway, hope everyone will have a good day smile a lot!

Good morning one and all. After a couple of weeks of problems with the internet and cell-phone problems I am keeping my fingers crossed that it is all good and keep it that way. Well our winter comes and then it vanishes and now it is 5 c and the other day it was 8 below zero. Have a beautiful day and I'll catch you all soon. Ivy and Yvonne, Ruth and Morris thank you for the beautiful comments and sorry for not replying....Big hugs......Jenny M

There has been snow fall in the higher reaches of Himalayas. That’s why Delhi is a bit chill today. The woolens are out. You can see people in colourful woolens on the streets and some even with jerkins, particularly in the morning. This is an indication that Christmas is not far behind. Christmas brings in the memories of cakes to non Christian people in India like me. I love to enjoy Christmas cake and carol in the evening. Christmas is celebrated with great pomp and show all over India.

Yep, Pat, Christmas is around the corner and best to stay home when the weather is like yours Ruth to make some Christmas decors...i would be starting mine to buy some materials for Christmas decors.

Sunny today and best to stay outside to find some bargains. Good for malling, too.

The week for me run smoothly and i will have my last work day tom to get another two days off...whew, that would give me much time to go malling and find some cutie decors.

So have a nice day friends and take care!mwah!

My day has been very good. I finally made the Fall wreath for my front door. For 20 years I've tried to keep a seasonal wreath on my door, and it has been naked for over 2 months.    I will leave it up until I replace it with a Christmas wreath.

Moments ago  I received a phone call from Prathi, which didn't surprise me because I left her a message about a week ago. But she was not calling from California as I presumed, but from the apartment complex next to mine!  Her husband left the job in CA, and took a contract job back at the same company where he worked before.  I am happy to have an Indian friend back living on my street!

AJ, I am thoroughly delighted with your vivid, humorous, human, inspiring account of what your day was like.

BTW, did I mention how doggedly handsome you are?

 [ send green star]

today in South Central Kansas.  Mr. AJ is a crew chief of linemen for the city.  This morning they had to re-route a service for a grocery store, and the job began at 2:30AM! He got home for some coffee at 7:30AM, then went back to work until 5 this evening.  I volunteer at the food bank on M,W, and some Fridays, so I went in this morning.  The director and boardmembers do a big community Thanksgiving dinner every year, so the planning is in full gear for that!   Our weather has been very quiet, and is supposed to be quiet until Monday night, though if there is rain, it's not supposed to be severe .

I love this thread--I love to read what everybody does!

Ruth we are ever so grateful to you for providing us with such wonderful eatables together with the hot and cool drinks. But no one can beat your dancing!! It was sooooooooo sweet and hilarious I say. I don't know where you get such funny pictures. Thank you for sharing them with us though!

Che good morning to you my dear. Thanks for your lovely response and comments my dear! Glad you are seeing the sun now and that it is smiling upon you and your lovely country!

Jen D, AJR, Meenaji and Patricia thanks for being so active and for your wonderful comments my dear. We appreciate it very much!

Plaxmi it was good of you to share your problems that you faced with regard to your son's accident. May the guardian angel protect you and your loved ones always!

Jennifer you are a gem I say! I just loved the picture you posted here. It is so apt - hehehe! What with the lovely treat that we get from all our members here! Hahaha just kidding ok?

Jai that Hindi version of the song sung by a Chinese is simply superb!

Yvonne I'm sure you must be enjoying the things that our creative members are capable of. Thanks to our dear members of GI. You all are geniuses!

Friends can I serve you some cool and refreshing drink? Hope you'll like it though!

Love ya - ivy

Wow my friends! I was so delighted to see all the laughter and happiness in the GI camping site that Sanky had so meticulously improvised for us. Thanks Pinky boy!

Hey Sanky I actually liked the pink winter wear of yours. Looks soooooo cozy and warm! Your wonderful fishing spree in such beautiful surroundings with those yummy yummy dishes added to the bargain certainly made our day. To top it all you served such lovely drinks both hot and cool.

Oh WOW! Pinky Sanky I must say you really look so cuteeeee in this picture. Have a look...

Hello everyone!!! We have a fine day...and i feel good about it.

Hi, Plaxmi, good to hear that your son is fine after that accident...maybe he have to be very careful next time and listen to you because it is for his own good, too. Mother's are very protective and they do not want their child wandering outside especially at night right, Plaxmi?

well, friends, hope you are enjoying a good day to your part of the world.

 [ send green star]

Ceci, its good to hear that you are out and about. Though I still feel that you are afraid of the whole ordeal, dont worry and know that we pray for you and your dear ones to be safe.

Sanky, I loved each and every dish you have planted here. The drink is missing....hmmm wonder if some lassi would do the trick!

 [ send green star]

Sorry to hear about your son Plaxmi, hope you have both recovered by now. I personally dont put it down to figures but to fate. Sometimes in life we have break like these to slow us down and ponder on life's fortunes God has given us.

Hello, Meena, Jenny, Yvonne, Ruth, Jai, Ivy and everyone out there.

There is plenty of room in Sanky's tent for us all... Ivy, Yvonne, Patricia, AJR, Jai, Jennifer, and anyone else feeling adventurous.
However, the pink seat is reserved for Sanky, who's making a striking statement in winter wear this year. Very attractive, I must say!

Here in Kansas, USA, it's cooler, and a cold front is coming in. So, it'll be rainy for a few days. Some of the rain during the day tomorrow will be storms, but they're not supposed to be so very bad.

In the morning, we'll all get up, and I'll take our boy to school and then go work at the food bank until 11 AM. I work in the back in a room called "Addie's Room," named after the oldest person working there--Addie, who's 86 but gets up every morning and goes in at 7:30 AM! She's fun and funny, and I love her. Sometimes we package soaps, or sugar, but now and then, she grinds coffee beans, then we put the coffee into smaller containers to give away. I don't drink coffee myself, but that room smells really good when we do that!

I hope everyone gets nice smells for their Mondays!

Sydney's weather today is sunny. I have the back door open and I can see my garden bathed in morning light. The closest plant to me is a large pot of bountiful aloe vera, then a pot of struggling echinacea. Planted in are the self-sown pawpaw tree, a banana tree my father planted, and a very willful wisteria which is having an argument with the bougainvillea on the garage roof. Finally, I can see the neighbour's frangipanni tree, which hasn't woken up to spring yet.
Let's hear about YOUR day- the sights, sounds, smells, texture!
