"My how time slips away" today is the last day in November so Christmas is so close and to get you in the holiday spirit just go to the stores, Walmart, Kmart, the malls and yes the grocery stores too!! They are all ready for Christmas! Lowe's, Walmart, Home Depot and others are ready with fresh cut live trees and all the decorations you ever wanted for your yard, house top, doors or any place you want to put up decoration they got you covered for sure!!

The prices aren't bad because they all have price matching in force even the military stores offer price matching!! That helps to keep the prices reasonable I think and not just Walmart but other stores sell so much of their goods from China!!!!

Another fun thing to do after dark is go site seeing to look at all the different decorated yards, homes and displays these home owners invest in each year and pay the light bills!! They even have outfits for the cats and dogs to wear and have their dog house decorated in the yard!!

When we think of the number of people unemployed I say those that can afford to put up this much decorations must have the funds on hand because I sure can't afford to decorate like that but I can cruise around the neighborhoods to look and admire for free!!!!

It's great to see the seasons come and go while at the same time seasons in other parts of the world are different like in Australia where we call it "the land down under"

The little girls were caching butterflies yesterday when I went to the mailbox across the street so my little puppy got off the scooter and tried too but couldn't catch a single one!!! By the way tomorrow she turns 11 months old and has cost me a fortune in haircuts, oatmeal baths and medical care!!

Before we know it Santa Claus will be coming around the bend and a new year on the horizon!! So play safe, be careful and enjoy what's ahead for all of us!!
