Why are all of these people slowing down?

The Annual Christmas Lights Extravaganza has been under way for some time on Ozark Street. It seems that people keep slowing down to a crawl in front of our house. I don't know if it is the brightness (kind of a deer in the head lights type thing) or if they are taking in all of the elements that make it up. Perhaps they are trying to size up the gigantic inflatable snowman (over twelve feet tall). There are six inflatables in my yard. I was afraid that would be tacky. My yard is so big that it really works out fine. One is more toward the back and mainly viewable to us. I will just have to get some photos on here soon. I just keep adding a few thing here and there. I will continue to do that until Dec. 1st. I have up plenty enough at this point. If I do not put up any more it is fine. If I do it is even better. So I carry on.

Guess What...It's Christmas!!!!

Alright, it is now a legal time to post all of the antics of this wonderful season. I can talk about Christmas lighting and trees and the like without offending those unnamed individuals who have hazed me so terribly. I am almost done with all our Christmas lights. I have enough that it could be done. But there are yet tangled strands of lighs layered on my garage floor. I will have to hurry and get that finished or my wife will be angrily campaigning for her parking spot back.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at our home. It felt very nice (tasted even better). I put up the big 12 ft snowman in the yard last night. That thing is huge. I bought it on sale last year and never opened it. It is very impressive.

So sorry I have been slow to post. I have been up to my elbows in trees and lights, etc. I must hurry here and return to that task. God bless you all. Hope that you all had great Thanksgiving celebrations and let me be one of the first to tell you...MERRY CHRISTMAS!

All's well that ends well!

No this is not another post about "wells." In fact it is not a post about anything in particular. But are any of my post really about anything? No comment. Last night was a more hectic night at work. One of our scanners was down, so that left the two of us on 1 scanner all night. One accident brought in 8 ambulances. That was crazy but not unmanageable. I had one patient that I became very involved with. I stayed late comforting her and helping to move her. She stated on the way back to the ER that she was glad to have a fellow believer with her. That really meant a lot to hear her say that. I hated to leave her and assured her of continued prayers on her behalf. It was odd how it all worked out for me to be with her. She was originally not my patient. God knows just how to work things out for our good. He has the big picture. I assured her of that as well. Things don't always make sense, but God can take the fragmented pieces that look hopeless and arrange them for His glory.

We are all like pieces of a puzzle. We don't have the box top to see in clarity what the placement of the final piece will reveal. But God knows the outcome of the masterpiece. I don't want to be like I was as a child, just hammering pieces in where they did not fit. There is a special place for each. The pieces don't move themselves, God moves the pieces.

Sometimes this is all quite puzzling. God will work it all out.

Deep Subject

It seems that nearly everytime I post, I begin with the word "well." I have often heard that it is a deep subject, almost too deep for such a shallow mind. So I am determined in all of my shallowness to avoid the use of that word. It is so hard. Last night was such agood night at work. Monday's are normally one of the worst days. I was also working with one of our PRN techs who I was convinced held the curse of Jonah. Every time she is on board the boats starts to sink. (I had to delete a "w." I just almost used that dreaded word.) Anyway, the curse has been lifted. I was just about ready to throw her overboard. I even told her last time we worked together that I would not do that again. She is really nice though.

In other news...Even at Church we are getting ready for Christmas. In children's church we are practicing our extravaganza. Right now it seems more ganza that extravagant. We will get there. You are probably noticing that there is nothing deep about this post or on the other hand maybe there is. So, I choose to spare you anymore. Besides my ADHD mind will not allow any further concentration. Well, maybe next time I will blog something of depth. Oops!

Two Weeks Later...

Well, I do apologize for the delay. It is so unlike me not to share my wealth of knowledge with my adoring fans. Well, that wealth may only amount to a few cents. There is just not a whole lot to go around. I will not let that stop me from sharing the adventures of my chaotic yet fulfilling life. I said all of that to say I am sorry for not posting I have been really busy. No, I have not been tangled in Christmas decor nor have I been abducted by wiley gleaners. I have been finishing my bachelor's degree clinical work and working extra.

I pretty much have been getting up going to the hospital, been there all day, all night, coming home, going to bed and doing it all over again. I have celebrated Radiologic Technologist Week this past week. I must have overlooked all of the cards and gifts. Snail mail is so slow.

I must confess our mantel is looking a lot like Christmas. Other items are filtering in. I just want to put some cinnamon in the potpurri pot, turn on some sounds of the season and go nuts. There is just one problem with that. Our house is a complete and utter disaster. It is horrible due to the come and go life style we have lived during the past few weeks. I am considering taking the leaf blower inside to tackle the problem. Becki's kids would love that.

Just let me say that I am back. Blog ya later!!!
