Christmas lights

I guess I’m a bit home sick this year.  My Dad used to put Christmas lights up every year and just pitch a fit about it.  We all knew he really enjoyed it because once they all were up, and working, he would stand back and look at the house with a look of pride at his accomplishment.

I said the Schmitt House!

Well I decided I want to put up Christmas lights this year.  Thank God they aren’t as much of a pain as they used to be years ago.  One bulb goes out and the whole strand went dead.  Not to mention, I have had to buy all new lights since this is my first time putting them up.

I have seen some amazing light displays on the internet that play music and the lights dance to the music.  A strand or two here and there is all I’m up for!  So, let us have the decorating begin.   No my house isn’t going to look like the Schmitt either although my BFF would certainly enjoy witnessing such an event!!! Thanks for sending this great Christmas cartoon to me Lori! And I look forward to talking to you real soon!

The Horse Whisperer

Rachel and I have watched The Horse Whisperer a few times and it’s not only a movie for you ladies.  Us guys enjoy it too.  After all, it’s almost a cowboy movie.  Well Rachel came home with the book yesterday.  She can’t seem to put it down.  I must admit, I kinda like her reading it too because she seems a lot more interested in cuddling with me since she started reading it.

As with most movies, she says the book is so much better.  Might be but doesn’t sound like my kinda book.  Who knows, I might have to borrow it after she’s finished reading it.  Nothing like a good book on a nice summers day laying in the hammock.

George Lindsey

One American icon has passed away. George Lindsey who played the part of Goober on the “The Andy Griffith Show” died at the age of 83. He will be missed by millions of Americans who loved him and the characters he played on T.V. and the movies.

Lindsey also starred on the long-running T.V. show “Hee-Haw” as well as numerous movies. I hope he will rest in peace.
