Favorite Christmas

Probably in the mid 60's...my brother Richard got a stingray 12 speed bike and I got a mini-bike,
we always had a little rivalry, he was a year older than me and challenged me to a race. Yea, that's right a race, his pedal power and my 3 1/2 horsepower mini-bike, we headed down to Patton Elementary school (Ft. Ord-California) where there was a 50 yard track. And we're off...I blew him away and shut him up for the rest of the day!


LUKE BRYAN SHARES THE STORY BEHIND HIS MOST MEANINGFUL CHRISTMAS GIFT
When it comes to Christmas gifts, Luke Bryan’s wife Caroline went above and beyond to deliver something truly special. In a new video, Bryan shares the story of his wife and father getting together to track down the pickup truck once owned by his older brother, Chris, who died in a car accident at the age of 26 when Luke was just 19. “The best Christmas present I have ever gotten, and will ever get, was when my wife Caroline went and found my brother’s old pickup truck from 1996,” Bryan revealed in the Instagram clip. “It was down in Louisiana, and it was still on the road. And her and my dad went down, they picked it up, brought it to Nashville, and Christmas Eve night pulled into the driveway with it. And let’s just say that, yes, the tears were flowing. It will never be topped. I don’t know how you’ll ever top it. What an amazing moment for me and my family. It was pretty special.”

A BIT OF EGG NOG

Aah the Holidays! There's so much to do in getting ready for Christmas. The shopping, the parties, the planning, putting up the tree, getting the outside display ready, the relatives and this is beginning to read like the story line of the movie, Christmas Vacation. A holiday classic?  Anyway, one of my favorite scenes (and I have several favorite scenes from the movie) is near the end of the movie. It's when Clark and family find out the Christmas "bonus" from Clark's employer is a year enrollment in the jelly of the month club. Clark goes wacko  and grabs a cup and submerges the cup into the big bowl of EGG NOG . Not once, but twice. This seems to relax him Well, if you want to to know a bit more about this seasonal drink read on. While culinary experts dispute exactly when egg nog came to be. it is believed to be an early mid-evil drink from England. It was called "posset" a warm,  milky ale-like drink. Monks added eggs and figs to it. Egg ...

What's the news that gets to you.

All kinds of different stories making the news these days. Away from the political noise of "he said, she said" stuff, which is good theatrics, but I wish they would get something done about coming to a common goal of making this world a better place to live. Anyway.. I see, Toys For Us is shutting down. The blame is being put on Wal-Mart and Amazon. I didn't realize Toys For Us had been around 70 years. I wonder where the idea for Toys For Us came from. there were a lot of new ideas put into action after World War II. Maybe, Toys For Us was one of them. As a parent you, like your children grow out of the store. Seems like they couldn't get the last couple of generations to take their children there and make purchases. Did you hear about the dog that wound up in Japan, instead of Kansas City? Seems an airline passenger was traveling. She got to K.C., but her dog wound up in Japan, while another dog...yup you guessed it, was supposed to go to Japan and wound up ...
