I'd Rather Be Dancing.....



Each morning as I look out the window the world is covered in white.




But, I think I would much rather have this white instead....




That kind of white would look rather good on me.

And if I have to look at the white stuff every morning, I think it should look like this....




Wouldn't mind shoveling this snow one little bit.
And guess what.....I have the prettiest little outfit for the job!



Okay, may not be the warmest....
...maybe this one instead....




you know what....maybe I will just ask my single neighbour to help out...
you know how heavy snow can get!

He is the kindest gentleman...he lives on the ranch just down the road.....


Sharpe Creek Ranch

And he brings the cuties helpers....

So now that that white stuff is being taken care of....
I think I will head inside for some tea.

And as I sit here in my cozy sitting room I realize that it is the end of the month.
My mortgage comes due on the 1st.
I think I will ask the mortgage company if I can spend my money on something else this month.




And what about the hydro company, 
they are always wanting a little bit of my money every month too!
But I would rather have this instead.....




Don't they realize a girl has got to have lovely flowers.....
and what about the gas company....
.maybe I will tell them I will pay them later because I have to have this.....


Don't they realize that the world is a stage and I have just found my calling!

You know, come to think of it....
maybe I will go back outside and ask my sweet nice neighbour if he needs any help...wink!

Justin Bieber and Elvis



The Stratford Justin Bieber Report

As most of you know I live in Stratford.  
Home to famous resident, Justin Bieber.
Buzz around town is that he is here for the Christmas break, but I have not seen him.
Truth be told, I not sure I would even recognize him if he were strolling around the grocery store!


Some of you may have heard that his grandparents were involved in a fairly serious car accident this past Tuesday.  
The grandparents still live here in Stratford.
Last Tuesday was a miserable day here in town.
My daughter ran some errands that day,  when she returned she confirmed the roads were very bad.
 
The roads in Stratford on Thursday (yesterday). Snow covered and icy.  Daughter took this pic on our way home.

  That evening it did not surprise me when I heard several Emergency vehicles drive by my condo.
I later found out that it was indeed his grandparents accident that I heard that night.
The grandfather suffered some broken ribs and the grandmother is fine.
So there is a little up-date from a local here in Justin Bieber town!

So what does this have to do with Elvis.
Today while I was packing away some Christmas stuff, I was playing Elvis on You Tube.  
I came across this video of Elvis, singing while girls are screaming in the back ground.
Elvis was indeed the Justin Bieber of the 50's.
Amongst other major significant historical changes and contributions of course!

 Here is the You Tube video I was watching....very cool!

A Pretty New Year



How will you be ringing in the New Year?





Maybe you will be stepping out in your best....




An elegant dinner party with some close friends....









An evening of wine, champagne and music.






Or maybe you will chilling with your friends at the cabin......













A roaring fire to keep you warm while it snows outside.....







pinterest



A fireplace even where you sleep....






Or maybe you just want some quiet time by yourself to welcome the New Year in.....




Settlemier House





....do a little reading.....




...or a little shopping....








Edith Head






How ever you bring the New Year in.....




HAPPY NEW YEAR!
