Blue Monday - Outdoor Blue Decoration

Welcome! I hope that you had a terrific Thanksgiving. Today is Blue Monday! For instructions, just click here.

Make sure to visit other Blue participants by clicking on their links.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We're decorating for Christmas, and we've completed the outside of our house. We keep it rather simple: a wreath on the front door and a blue lighted nativity.




We bought this nativity several years ago at Walmart.
It has a blue background with white silhouettes.
I like this shot showing our blue sky.





Here you can see how the nativity looks at night.





Have you started decorating for Christmas yet?

Happy Blue Monday!

Blue Monday - Review Cars 2 - Thumbs Down!

Welcome! It's Blue Monday! For instructions, just click here.

Visit other Blue participants by clicking on their links and wishing them a Happy Blue Monday!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Isn't technology wonderful? It's a convenience to watch a movie in our home, played on our television--especially a movie that I planned to see but missed as I was in a coma when it was released this summer.

So, I was excited to watch Cars 2 recently. I admit it; I'm child-like, and I do love cartoons! We simply push a button or two on our remote, and pay the fee when our cable bill arrives. Then, we watch.



And that's about all the nice things I can say about this film. I suggest you save your rental fee on this one. There's no plot, and no true moral theme (which is a surprise for a Pixar movie). Many of the voices have accents, which make the dialog difficult to understand. I felt sorry for the children watching when adults have troubles comprehending a film. (sigh) What a bomb!


However, I do like the name of the character of this Blue car.
It's Sally--lovely name, and it's the perfect color for Blue Monday!



Happy Blue Monday!

Blue Monday -Blue Birthday Shirt

Welcome! It's Blue Monday! For complete instructions, just click here.

I like to celebrate Thanksgiving the entire month of November, don't you? That's the reason for my new header.

One thing I'm thankful for are bloggers who leave comments for me. It's quite encouraging. Many ask how I'm doing. Well a week ago Sunday, I was able to go to Sunday School AND church for the first time! Up until then, I'd only been able to go to church. Yesterday, I was able to repeat this feat. I am so thrilled to be making progress.

Please remember to visit other Blue participants and wish them a Happy Blue Monday!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Johnny and I have seven grandchildren. Our daughter has four--two girls and two boys; our son has three girls. Caeli (pronounced Kay-Lee) is the firstborn of our daughter. She recently turned twenty-one and wore a Blue shirt on her birthday. She posed for a picture while holding the card we sent her.




Jeanne at Backyard Neighbor, a Gator fan, will find it interesting to learn that
Caeli attends University of Florida, where she makes straight A's.

Isn't she gorgeous?


Happy Blue Monday!
