10:36pm, wind blowing and I am freezing! I like the way they say it’s –degrees and then on the side “feels like–” Hilarious, and snow tomorrow…my teeth are already chattering ; )

MLMM Saturday Mix🎄The Tree🎄
We were to gather at the mall and peruse the Christmas tree lot. A few of the participants were bothered by the fact we had to arrive at a unanimous decision. The littlest in the family gravitated to the biggest ones, the oldest in the family hovered over the smallest ones, and the middle group were attracted to the six-footers.
Having only one home which had one living room to house the tree, there had to be compromises made. After a few cups of hot chocolate provided by the weary salesman, and much discussion by all, it was decided to splurge and everyone chipped in.
Three purchases were made, a large living tree to be planted in the front yard, a small tree for the grandparents’ bedroom, and a six foot living room choice for everyone to enjoy.
Movie Monday
Christmas this month, and I chose a comedy we’ve watched a few times, “Christmas Vacation” starting Chevy Chase and many others you’ll recognize. Of course I love slapstick and this movie has lots.
“As the holidays approach, Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) wants to have a perfect family Christmas, so he pesters his wife, Ellen (Beverly D’Angelo), and children, as he tries to make sure everything is in line, including the tree and house decorations. However, things go awry quickly. His hick cousin, Eddie (Randy Quaid), and his family show up unplanned and start living in their camper on the Griswold property. Even worse, Clark’s employers renege on the holiday bonus he needs.”
Daily Prompt: Age
They say that with age
Thinking turns more sage
But I have to disagree
At least pertaining to me
Sure I may be wiser
Think I’m an advisor
But memory I find
Is hardly kind.
Take these prompts for example
Their existence is ample
But I’m always behind
Or is it just my mind?
Seems very troubling
They seem to be doubling
Or is it just me
Early senility?
I use the term comically
But it’s anatomically
Correct, unfortunately
I am a senior, importunately
So bear with me please
Hope with age, it may ease.
Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt 31
She hesitated as she came upon the old photograph. They were into black and white only then, being the “purist” photographers on their trip to Europe. For some reason they wanted their honeymoon to be remembered in this fashion, possibly to appear less romantic, less impulsive.
How silly we were those days, she thought to herself. If only I could relive those days with him. Such innocence, thinking we would be together forever. I remember those arches, old and crumbly, but vacant. We took this picture after, to enjoy later on. Making love under the arches was beautiful. I remember.

A partially frozen stream
Haven for thirsty winter creatures
Surviving leaves and bushes
Crunchy snacks for stream visitors
Cold but nourishing elements

The theme today is cramp. I used to get cramps in my legs at night causing me to never get a good night’s peaceful sleep. Now I hear that word and just think, these numb legs really cramp my style! So be careful what you wish for? Is that the lesson? Is it from the “world or the gods that be” always just around the corner waiting, maybe even lurking? They just want to teach you a lesson? Some days it seems like–don’t get too comfortable because it’s about to change? Any answers, people?

MLMM Tale Weaver 148
The bridge was barely visible under the guise of red dust. He was used to this unending sunset filled atmosphere since the invasion. It was the year 2050, and even being only thirteen, he had seen most of his family and friends disappear. The initial attack was unexpected and deadly. He was just a child then and they considered him harmless, letting him live, but for what? The children that survived were put into backbreaking jobs that the aliens didn’t want.
He saw the now useless structure through the red haze, wondering why it also survived.

Amazing beauty
‘Tis the golden sunflower
Yields special bounty
Daily Post: Sparkle
You know when you give that gift?
The one they’ve waited for so long
They dreamed of, maybe prayed for?
That unique treasure
Gifted just to them and no other
The way their eyes sparkle with tears
Just to be receiving that gift from you?
That’s the gift you gave to me.
