Ahhhh, thank you, Santy Claus for stoppin' the durn rain for a bit…da boyz 'n I sure do appreciate it…wuz a bit foggy for awhile but the sun is out now 'n we made the rounds of the sodden Park 'n walked the streets (both blocks of 'em) wishing everyone we met, "Merry Christmas"

Oaks Hardware, sadly, is empty but Dave Hill in his BBQ shop next door seems t'be doing well…at least, he's open with people in 'n out…

Had a different chicken lady at the park this morning…she looked askance (never miss a chance to use a word like that if you c'n help it) at Rusty 'n Willie as they looked askance at the chickens before rousting them from their reverie…Willie do love to chase chickens…

No children in the park t'day…well, it's Christmas Eve 'n I s'pect all those parents of the Park Children are busy, busy, busy…..

One of the benefits of satellite teevee is Sirius Radio…during normal(?) times, I often turn the radio on for da boyz when I happen to leave 'em at home during the day but, now, I find that the holiday music is much more entertaining than re-runs of re-runs… besides, I can't remember the last time I heard Hope 'n Crosby t'gether…

So, Merry Christmas to all our friends 'n family…David 'n Millyrose
