Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

Ingles does Christmas

 


Stopping by Ingles, our local supermarket, I found some strange flowers, and some pretty ones. The candy bar bouquets really got to me. I also thought the little cedar that's wrapped in ribbon and bending over was pretty strange (in the front in a blue bucket.)

I'm missing so many blog friends who are on breaks in order to squeeze a bit more things that aren't in their ordinary schedules, and a few more minutes with families...so I await my morning ritual of reading blog posts to return.


Today's quote:

​A man is known by the company he keeps. A company is known by the men it keeps. -Thomas J. Watson, businessman (17 Feb 1874-1956):

    Hello,
    The flowers look pretty, the candy bar bouquets are different. Take care, enjoy your day!

    ...the little cedar that's wrapped in ribbon and bending over looks like an updated Charlie Brown tree. Thomas J. Watson was indeed a wise man. Merry Christmas Barbara.

    Candy bar bouquets constitute a good idea.

      Thanks Bill, they were real candy I think. I think I'd prefer flowers though.

    I'm trying to read blogs just not taking the time to post on mine. I saw some of those weird wrapped trees too at the grocery store.

    First, before I forget, I LOVE that photo that is your header/banner whatever you choose to call it.

    I wonder about that little cedar...I have never seen anything like that. I wonder if you take the ribbon off if there is a burst of the cedar smell.

      Thanks Rose...it does remind me of that Shakespeare saying that goes with your name. "A rose by any other name..." I just call it my header. Glad you like it. The idea of smelling the cedar is neat.
