holiday tradtion

My daughter from another mother and I have started a new one this year.  We shopped together on Black Friday and Christmas Eve this year.  She started discussing all the discounts and we decided to shop around the holiday season, whatever it may be.  I reckon I'll see her around Valentine's Day.  Love you.  Mean it.  

LP is dashing thru Christmas Eve trying to earn a buck.  I figure today will be pretty busy what with families in and whatnot.  I just realized that I picked up the phrase "What not" from watching Disjointed.  What a hoot.  She went shopping for Reaves last night and did a good deal of thoughtful giving for a low price.  They will just be thrilled to be together.

Judging by the empty pan outside, I would assume that the nameless cur has eaten!  Thanks again to Cathy for the vittles.  Bubba said "You're not feeding that dog are you??"  Umm.  That would be a hard yes. I will not let him starve out in the cold.  I already have some folks in the wings who will help get him adopted.  AFTER we fatten him up and work on the skittish.

I am sitting here in the home that I grew up in and thinking about past Christmas memories.  My favorite family picture ever was one I called "The Cast."  Me and LP.  Daddy and Mama.  Tommy and Yvette.  And Bubba in sunglasses.....

Y'all be on the lookout for Santa.  He might be on one of those drones ^j^
