There is no B in Christmas Fruity. ^_^

Blue Ridge Mtns, VA(Zone 7a)

Then I don't get the rules. The words are all over the board, like Mistletoe and Ideas.
I'll stick to the regular games I play on DG. Carry on.



(susie) Hastings, MI(Zone 5a)

sorry Fruity I Thought if we played a little Game while waiting for out names would be fun making Up Gifts out of the letters CHRISTMAS
Like H ---HOME MADE CANDY

(Crystal) Waverly, AL

home made candy? is that a suggestion, an invitation, or a word made from letters in Christmas (not)

Blue Ridge Mtns, VA(Zone 7a)

The game is fine, Susie. Some people made words from the letters in Christmas and then it jumped somewhere else. Chalk my confusion up to a lousy weepy day, disappointing on so many levels.

If we're choosing a letter.....

C for Candles




(susie) Hastings, MI(Zone 5a)

(Linda Kay) Amarill, TX(Zone 7a)

Sorry to hear you had a weepy day Fruity, sure hope tomorrow is better for you!

(Crystal) Waverly, AL

Fruity, sure wish there was something to say to help you feel better. You are always so kind and supportive to others.

Pittsburg, MO(Zone 6b)

Sending you nice warm hugs ((((((((((Fruity)))))))).

Blue Ridge Mtns, VA(Zone 7a)

Ya'll are sweet and really I'll be fine. It's unusual for me to have a meltdown. Just had a roller coaster of a day.

Been meaning to let the group know Susie is co-hosting. After signups end, we will split the list of participants with her name on mine and my name on hers so it's a true 'Secret Santa'.

Back to the Spirit of Christmas!

Fruity,, so sorry you are having a weepy day.. I hope it gets much better..

Blue Ridge Mtns, VA(Zone 7a)

It was too warm to see flakes today and had to do a double take. Then it dawned on me those were Pampas Grass seeds flying in the wind. I noticed today Walmart has a lot of fuzzy Holiday aloe-infused socks with the Christmas stuff. Didn't look in the clothing department since I just whizzed through for cat food.

Feeling much better today. How about you, Elfie?

Joy, He or she is adorable. Looks like you have another Champion to train. Have you decided on a name? Must hang a stocking on your mantle for Santa to add treats.
A few weeks ago our mail lady mentioned her merle Aussie Shepherds produced a litter of 7 this time, instead of 9 like last Spring, and these will be ready to sell around Christmas.

A - Amaryllis

(Joy) Hempstead, TX(Zone 8b)

Her name is Rose and she is a littermate to my Jam. We rescued her from a bad home and hope to get her turned around.

Joy

Blue Ridge Mtns, VA(Zone 7a)

I wondered when you picked Rose for your word if that's what you'd named her. She's in good hands now.

(Crystal) Waverly, AL

Mud-Elf is having a bad time right now. She got some disagreeable news from her doc. Maybe some cards would cheer her up.

Checking in.. Went to new Doc today. I like her very much. Took over an hour with me to discuss everything going on. Took me off all my meds except for the Gout. I am to be on bed rest for next few days to try to rest from the pain. No DRUGS!!,, She was really shocked to find out I was on Demerol. I thew them away.


So we shall see. I hope to know more by Monday. At the library downloading my tv shows so I can watch tv in bed.

Guess I will have to be a good girl for the next few days,, wish Goober and Gryphon were here to take care of me,, They are excellent nurses!!!!

Mentally I am much better today than yesterday,, huggs to all......

Holly Springs, NC(Zone 7b)

Kris, happy to hear that you like your new doc. I wish you a speedy recovery! If you haven't already tossed your meds in the trash or flushed them, please keep them and turn them in to your local police department for disposal. Flushing meds puts them into the water supply :(

Actually I gave them to the Doc for disposal..lol

(Linda Kay) Amarill, TX(Zone 7a)

Sorry to hear your not feeling well Kris! Get some rest, and we will be praying for a speedy recovery. I know going with out pain pills will be tough, but you can do it!

Love that new dog Joy, she is beautiful!

Blue Ridge Mtns, VA(Zone 7a)

Good news, Elfie. Having a Dr you like and can relate to and one that listens as well is half the battle.

How's the head throbs today, Susie? Any better today?

(susie) Hastings, MI(Zone 5a)

Yes fruity I Get them if my Blood is to THIN Or Gets to Thick & I have been a YO YO with the Coumadine level for the last 2-3 wks have had to be poked 5 time No fun but guess I'm getting balenced as you all know i had to see a dietian to know what Greens to eat & when so I can keep levels even & help lose weight but that has not worked out .

LOL, Carey! When you get a minute, either edit your post or add another one with your favorite Holiday likes (dislikes), colors, themes, etc.

You are a good soul, Susie, always so busy taking care of others. It's time to take care of yourself first for a change:)

C - cakes


What kinds of cakes or pies are you all making for Thanksgiving? One of our neighbors usually brings us an Apple pie with a homemade crust and she uses apples stored from her trees. It was a bumper crop this year for sweet apples in Virginia. Gotta say my favs though are Key Lime, PEcan and Peach.

Poor Elfie gets no cake or pie..
But I do get to have turkey, nuts and vegies.!!!!

Tired of bed rest. I want to do some work around here....
I am bored. Very, very bored..

Blue Ridge Mtns, VA(Zone 7a)

S -- sorbet

Would that work for something sweet? Or what about making a sugar-free granita?
A bored Elf is not a good thing.

Night all.

Oh yum...homemade mints, and Apple pie...I want some...lol. I LOVE to do holiday baking!!!! Just not sure what if any I'll be doing this season..shucks. I'll probably be making C-Cherry Whipped Creme Salad. Whole jar of marichino cherries (chopped), can of crushed pinapple (drained), several sliced bananas, and a half a bag of Marshmallows, and REAL whipping creme with a bit of cherry juice. YUP...can't ship it, so I'll have to eat it myself!!!! (OK...I'll share with the gkids and others for Thanksgiving). Only make it for the holidays but it's soo yummy.
