i love christmas, i don't know if i am going to have a christmas tree this year.
most of my family live in kentucky.. i love decorating the christmas tree.
i have a ten month old cat that gets into everything, eats everything.
I WISH I could learn to embed a picture on this board or ANY board for that matter :o) so I could show our two trees. I have one seven footer in the living room and a three footer on a small desk in the dining room. Both are decorated differently. We have big snowflakes in every window and a blue lighted angel in the window facing the corner road. There are lights along the dormer over the front door and snowmen gracing the door itself. I am so enjoying every bit of Christmas!
hugs,
Annie

"Behold, a virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel" (which being interpreted is, "God with us"). Matt 1:23

resurrected for you new ones, because while i couldn't play it at the kingdom hall, i can play it here!
i call it "dubsticks.
" it's an old familiar dubbie melody.. http://new.ddsweb.net/production/farkel/dubsticks.wma.
THAT was delightful!
Quite an improvement over the "old" melody it reminded me of . (Somehow when hearing that, I see tiny Keystone Cops in quick-action, running here and there over and under a piano)
Thaks for sharing.
hugs,
Annie
have posted this on the other thread but just making this one as well:
i need to let you know that dad passed away this morning at 8am.
he fought so hard but in the end they could not get his blood pressure to rise and he died of heart failure.
Ohhhhh noooo.
I am truly saddened to see this. He was a very special human being.
He is at peace now and all his trials are over.
My deepest condolences to your entire family.
love and hugs always,
Annie
staying put for the night.... i was going to leave in the morning to drive to virginia to see my son, dil, and grandbaby.
but it's pretty much snowing pretty hard...all the way from here to there... so i'm going to wait until next weekend to go.... here's a view from my back door.... brrrrrrr.... has the storm changed your plans?.
coffee .
The schools and day care centers began closing at 10:00 AM and the predicted storm hit here rght on time.....at 10:00 AM. It has been snowing and blowing all day. We are on the southeastern end of Lake Ontario. My niece emailed last night and said they (her three kids and hubby) were all holed up at her MIL's preparing for this storm....she lives in western MA.
I have company coming in from Mohawk NY (my grandson and his girlfriend) on Monday for the Christmas holiday and need to get out for milk, bread, meat and things to go into the freezer. I bought all the special "Christmas baking stuff" last week so everything is all set there!
I forgot what poster mentioned being out of bird seed, but OUR birds have cleaned out all three of our feeders in record time....hubby had mentioned early this morning before the snow started....how they had been like a busy flight pattern at a popular airport---birds practically flying into each other, constantly coming and going with beaks full....I'll have to get out on the deck tomorrow morning and set out some apples and peanut butter for them until we can get to the store for another bag of seed.
As much of a pain it is to drive in and walk in, etc,.....I have to admit it sure LOOKS pretty though!
hugs,
Annie
that's the latest being circulated from our dear witness friends and relatives.
In the fall of 1969, I was 28 years old and accepted a WTS indoctrination study from JWs at my door. The thrust was always that there was a huge hurry to get on the Ark of salvation before the END COMES..... and it was URGENT that we take our stand NOW before Armageddon "hit". There was NO TIME to mess around with indecision! So I completed my "two books", qualified by doing all the WTS required, passed the 80 questions before baptism, and was baptized in July 1972.
Here we are nearing 2009, with many changes in doctrine and the admittedly faulty opinions of the men I mistakenly put my trust in.....and the GB is still demonstrating that they are making this up as they go along, they are NOT "the truth" and they never WERE the truth.
Seeing as how the WTS has never gotten one thing right that they predicted.....how can ANYONE still believe in anything the WTS says, prints or teaches about anything?
just to let everyone on here who knows my dad, that he is seriously ill, and unfortunately on life support.
he has renal and respiratory failure as a result of the quickest onset of pneumonia i have ever seen... it came on in the early hours of this morning.
he is waiting for an intensive care bed but the nearest one is 200 miles away.
What terribly sad news, Faundy.
Ian is and always has been one of my very favorite posters. I always thought so much of him ; not only for his tremendous courage but his wonderful outlook and attitude no matter what he faced.
My love to you, Ian, Claire and the boys at this very trying time.
love and hugs always,
Annie
how do you register on this site?
and yes, i am dumb, can't help it.
raised in the twoof.
I was so thrilled to find that there was a new forum starting up.....that I posted over ON the new board! The last I looked there was no reply to my post :o(
I tried to reply to another post....and could not FIND the way to do so....I gave up. I see that others have made replies...but apparently it was beyond me how to do this. Modern technology is NOT my strong suit....in case nobody had noticed!
I guess I'll just have to be patient and wait until everything is up and running....
hugs,
Annie
