    So true Aly..I had guests over for Dinner last weekend and right in my good luck bamboo potted plant in the middle of the dining room table was a Christmas decoration that read Merry Christmas. We all noticed it at the same time and looked up from our Chinese food and started cracking up laughing. I agree with Cami, it's like the sock in the dryer.

    LOL......one of my kids must have taken a red ribbon off a package, and tied it on my crystal chandalier in the dining-room above the table............just noticed last night that it was there..........I'm short, but that is ridiculous, although the dining-room hardly ever gets used.......

    Funny thing is.....I look at the furniture in that room which is solid pecan wood, and gorgeous, along with the 3 tier crystal fixture above the table, and wonder..............who the hell is going to want this.........many homes today (unless they are older) are built without dining-rooms.............and kids today do not want to clean a crystal fixture.......they buy these big bulky things with huge arms that protrude out from the center like a big octopus...........

    I have a shore home also, that has my mother's 100 year old dining-room set in it, and her chandalier, that looks like it was just bought......I tease them and say "well before you bring in the dumpster" make sure you check the value of what your tossing in it.......they just laugh.......my mother was also a lover of Waterford Crystal......I think they will keep that........actually I am trying to get them to take the stuff now..........

    I want to give my grandaughter my engagement ring instead of her fiance buying one, but have to be careful, how others will feel about that........since she is not the only grandaughter, but her mother was getting the ring anyway, so it would just pass to my grandaughter sooner, then later, right.......crazy huh

    Well just gives me something else to think about........LOL.........

    I gave all my good jewelry away

    My diamond wedding ring I was glad to get rid of it...my youngest DD always had her eye on it.always wanted to borrow it???that ring ment nuthin to me so I gave it to her

    My MOM engagement ring has a story to it...I promised her I would give it to my oldest DD and I did warning her that it goes to my GD Elizabeth who was named for my. Mom...Along comes my brother who has a ked that was named for my MOm and DAD...so it will get passed to her..

    The rest of the stuff I have I don't wear and who ever wants it they can have it

    That's my story and I'm sticking with it

    The diamond cross it have could cause a battle ..I still wear it...

    I don't care cause I won't be here

    Aly - catching up. Lol about the Christmas decorations. My dining room table - tiny, round - is mostly a catchall for cookies, crackers. Looked at it today and it still had a Christmas tablecloth on it. Well, not anymore - hehe.

    Firecracker - I understand. You want to see it enjoyed while you can. I have my grandmothers diamond ring. She was born about 1905. Substantial size, bigger than anything I have. Very old white gold setting. I'm afraid to try to have it reset because I'm afraid I'll get a poor quality substitute returned in its place. I know nothing about diamonds. Besides I don't think I can afford the price of gold these days anyway. So it sits in the safety deposit box.

    Who wants to hear a feel good story? This am mail lady stops up the hill at neighbors - I think they're getting a pkg. Bit later I look out and see white things in bar ditch - 2 med. size dogs. Oh - that's what she wanted to know if it was their dogs. Well, not theirs I knew that and didn't recognize them. Put on jacket and mail lady delivers my mail. She says well I'm stopping. Lets see it they'll come to dog treat bag. They came flying - had fancy collars on, fat, did not look like dumped dogs. Had tags with # and found out owners were out looking for them. Had hunting training collars on. I said they just sat in the bar ditch. Owner said they were signalling the dogs to sit which they did. Prob. saved them as my road is busy on Sat. morning. It was a good morning. I need to bake something and leave for mail lady on Monday or Tuesday. Just need to watch when she goes out the road to verify she's working that day.

    Mary - another WooHoo here!

    DB (and he really is a darling) had heart attack - he lives in Australia. He has had serious heart problems for very many years and so of course anything like this is serious. He is his usual cheeky self but I think it has upset family.He is the one with grandson who is being treated for lymphoma. Thing is with my family I am the one who speaks to everyone and so some days feel like 'piggy in the middle'. I pass messages between them but did see other DB sent him a message on facebook which is good. I am ten years younger than DB in Aus, nine years to other brother and my sister who lives with us is 12 years older. Story of sister could take pages just that she has absolutely no money and nowhere to live because her son has beaten every cent out of her.

    Will post this because my babies are on skype and I don't want her to see what I have written.

    BBS.

    Thanks Ducky. He had endocarditis when he was 28 and practically died; they saved him but his heart was severly damaged. He had had valve replacement and other heart ops. In fact it is a miracle he is alive. 

    Firecracker good to see you here, we need you in the hen house.
