Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42015) • United States 4 Jan

If you put up a Christmas tree this holiday, have you taken it down yet? We did put up a tree this Christmas (58 years and counting), but it's still up. We didn't do any decorating other than the tree like we did for so many...

Two down, one more to go

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42015) • United States 19 Dec

Today I had the second temporary nerve pain block in my neck. Thankfully, it worked for about seven hours which was really a good result. But when it wore off, it REALLY wore off. It's eased off some after Gabapentin and an ice...

Peanut on the tree

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42015) • United States 17 Dec

Years ago I bought an ornament for our Christmas tree. It's a little peanut shaped guy in a Santa hat. My grannie was such a character...she had the best sense of humor. She looked at that little guy and named him Jimmy Carter....

Christmas gifts...too many?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42015) • United States 14 Dec

So, what are your feelings about gifts at Christmas? When our kids were little, I know they got way too many toys for Christmas, mostly from "Santa." Our tradition has always been to sit in the living room and take turns opening...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42015) • United States 5 Dec

I know we've all seen and been affected by inflation for a good while now. Seems like everything at the grocery store is higher each week. Every year for many years I've made sugared peanuts at Christmas. They're a good snack and...
