Eagle,

I have lived in Colorado Springs and often visited Aspen and Vail, love those hiking trails! Ran into Kathy Lee (Gifford) at the Wal-Mart (she would not talk to anyone and had her kids w/ her) and drove by her home (I knew the guard) -- however, she is not very well liked in that community, as she is rude and would redoracate a different room every 3 and was never satisfied! Hmmmm, maybe thats why hubby cheated!

Oh, Garden of the Gods has great trails, too!

Eagle..no truer words were ever spoken...we need more kindness in this world...less meanness...i think your little GD learned a valuable lesson that will get her thru many a tough situation in the years to come...she is lucky to have such a sweet Grandmother...

BlueBird...I am so happy knowing you live in a peaceful place...I wish that for all of my Boomer sisters... [Smile]

Christmas has become an insane materialistic mania. I avoid it all. This year I'm giving simple gifts I've made (fiber arts), plus some books and a a toy each to my twin grandsons (age 3). I'm not a Scrooge at all, but the masses seem to have become like an unstoppable herd of sheep, following the insanity, which grows earlier and bigger every year. It's clearly driven by commerce, not the spirit or meaning of the season.
Peaceful thoughts,
ARI

You said it Ariadne54,
It has become insane , this time at the post off was not so bad . I went to another one down the road . I had to wait in the post office and talked to a few people . Put my postage on my card and took off down the busy road . Where is the Spirt of Christams anymore ? Where did it go ?

The main road here are so busy these days and wonder where everone is going in such a hurry . I end up taking the back roads to get where I am going safely .

Bluebird, when can we move in? Sounds wonderful.

Eagle, what a tremendous lesson you taught her. This is how kids learn best, by doing.

As far as the madness goes, I won't give into it. I try to keep spreading cheer.

So do I. So far this year, it seems to be working. I'm actually feeling less stressed than I have in years past. Might have something to do with not having hubby and mom in the hospital right now like they were last year.

Counting my blessings!

Had another fun experience today!!!

A HUGE MAMOUTH sized truck parked next to me...& I had maybe 2 inches to get into my car.
ON THE OTHER SIDE was a car.......with maybe 3 inches for me to get inside!!!!

I went back inside a store & walked around for abit....because I WOULD HAVE GONE OFF ON THE IDIOTS WHO BLOCKED ME IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And this was with a lovely HUGE parking lot to choose from!!! I was halfway down the lot from the stores too........

BAH DOUBLE DOUBLE HUM BUG!!!!!!!!!!!

That same thing happened to me last week. I was so mad. They had plenty of room on the other side but decided to park right on top of me! No consideration for their fellow man.

I think a lot of people aren't paying close attention to what their doing this time of year. I guess I prefer thinking that to the idea that so many people are simply inconsiderate because they don't care. Which is probably why I've often been accused to being overly optimistic.

Jackie,

I'm with you - probably overly optimistic.
