Thanksgiving Comes First


If you are dismayed, as I am, by the overwhelming displays of Christmas merchandise in the stores well in advance of even Hallowe'en, I recommend to you the following blog post by Jim Sullivan, a.k.a. "Suldog."

Thanksgiving Comes First


I wholeheartedly agree with Jim.


ALL holidays that have commercial potential are pushed far out of their intended time frame. One of our local super centers will have Valentine merchandise on the shelves when the store opens on December 26, having moved the left-over Christmas merchandise to the clearance department. Makes me disgusted, it does!

An Award

I recently received this blog award from Old Lady Lincoln. Thank you, Patty. I'm honored. My day gets off to a great start by visiting Patty's blog for humorus or inspiring posts. I like your style too, Patty.

Sometimes I pass on the few awards I've received, and sometimes I don't, which is why I'm a bit shy about publicly acknowledging the receipt of them, although I am always pleased that anyone considers my blog worthy of such. I don't have any trouble finding others to pass this one on to, however, and I choose:

Bob Brague at Billy Ray Barnwell Here (a blog book containing both autobiographical and fictional occurrences and unusual written construction which is often extremely funny). Bob also has another blog, rhymeswithplague, which, if you enjoy well-turned words and interesting facts, you will find quite enjoyable.


Jeannelle at Midlife by Farmlight (a photo journal of everyday, and some unusual, occurrences at an Iowa dairy farm; life like it is).


Ruth Hull Chatlien at Ruth's Visions and Revisions (warm, spiritual without being preachy, uplifting and interesting).

Jim Sullivan at Suldog (definitely not the "proper Bostonian," Suldog has a style of his own; his blog posts may not always be appropriate for the faint of heart, but they are very often hilarious). Yes, Suldog, I know this award is a bit "girly" for your site, so I won't be offended if you don't display it, but I'd be honored if you did. :)
