All the other members of the Worlds Greatest family are on Facebook. So are most of my younger relatives etc.
Being an old Sicilian I’ve never been interested in social networking sites, I didn’t even get onto AOL until my job required it.
Lately I’ve been seeing the back and forth of the problems of a relative for all the world to see.
I can’t understand why anyone would want to share that kind of stuff online. I don’t think I ever will.
I think I’ll stay the odd man out.
…as we’re off to mass and then my mothers for Christmas Eve as always.
May all of you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Thanks for reading and God Bless you all, every one.
This was the #1 image result?
The photo is 5 years old but I think the statement is still true.
If you want to see the post where those photos came from, including some nice shots of the Crayola Museum, Hershey Park, and the Gettysburg Battlefield, then click here.
Unfortunately the last 13 months have given an answer to the question associated with the final shot on that page. I was hoping for a different one.
We picked it up at Erickson’s Tree farm in Ashby Mass. It turns out the owner’s son is in my youngest son’s class.
His wife is from the Philippines Islands. Ashby Massachusetts is about as far as Mindanao that you can get in both distance and tempature. She was feeling VERY cold out waiting with the trees.
All trees there are a flat $20 each even with ones as big as 15′ or more tall. That is so much cheaper than most other places it is ridiculous. I asked him why he doesn’t charge more, he said he makes enough with what he does charge and times are hard for people right now. What a nice guy.
As he puts it he sells between 300 & 400 trees per years, many are sold the day he opens (1st Sat. in November). People come down and tag their favorites that day and then cut them as Christmas comes closer. From how they described it the first day is like the running of the brides.
I’m being shouted at because I’m told we will never get a good tree again if everyone finds out. Poppycock! He’ll just plant more.
It came down to three trees before my wife made her final selection, a Scotch Pine that looks simply marvelous!
Oh and the lunch was a big hit too, the wife and my old friend hit it off at once, both are crocheters and like women do generally agree about when I’m wrong.
All and all the day seems to be going pretty well. We have a tree to decorate and a lot of stuff to clean so posting will be kinda spotty the rest of the day if at all.
