What did Cinderella say when her photographs weren't ready?
Some day my prints will come!
Hubby was standing at the back door laughing, squirrel was digging up his nuts but this time Maggie had brought a friend along and they were doing fly pasts - criss crossing over the top of squirrel. Squirrel in turn looked like a Wimbledon spectator head looking from side to side. Maggie's friend obviously found no fun in tormenting squirrel and flew off to more profitable pursuits leaving Maggie to decide what to do next. Squirrel's head disappeared under a bush leaving just backside and tail to view. Maggie stood looking, head cocked to one side, then she grabbed hold of a small low twig (attached to bush) and started to shake it. This was too much for squirrel who backed out from under the bush and chased Maggie down the garden, head down and tail up shaking madly from side to side. Maggie realised she had gone too far and legged it fast, wings flapping till eventually she took off giving up till another day.
I do hope this squirrel and magpie keep up their antics through next year as they are giving us so much fun.
Well after a lot of panic we have finally got a turkey. Not the one we hoped for. All we wanted was a plain, ordinary, frozen, large turkey but all the shops are selling are ready basted, so thats what we have got. We have two more presents to buy, my husbands presents to wrap, the fresh food to buy and that then will be us done. Hooray!!
Card's have been written and sent and i don't think i have forgotten anyone this year. Hooray!!
Presents that need to be given out have been given so no running around to people at the last minute. Hooray!!
Well that's enough back patting of me because as sure as eggs are eggs i will remember something big i have forgotten to do and then i will be running around like a headless chicken panicking.
What i am aiming for now is to have some time to take in the reason for the season, to reflect on what this is really about, to have some time with Jesus and prepare for next year and all the great things he has in store for me, to pray and meditate on his word. This is what i aim for, i just hope the festivities do not overtake my intentions like they so often do.
Why did Santa think it would be easy to use a computer?
Because first Yule log on!

Each day I've been trying to set aside a little time for that reason and it's not easy. It should be the other way around. . 'On Ya' - ma
Your entry is so fasinating me about Squirrel and Maggie,it is realy funny.I love garden tales of any sort.I am feeling happy too in that all the presents are delivered and other things finished as yours are.I have invited two young men tonight to pray with them and reflect on the meaning of Christmas whilst they are in my town.I thought it would be nice to give them a little warmth and to spend a short time in my home with me,spreading there word under my roof this Christmas time.So I am realy looking forward to this evening and that little time out to think of the real meaning of Christmas and Thank God for what I recieve......Take care God Bless.

It must be fun to watch them "play"! Funny joke, by the way! Thought I'd stop by and say "HI!" Thanks for the wisdom regarding my last entry...Jae
