~ About Time ~

........... for this tree to come down, don't you think?  LMAO!!!!  Actually, this is how the tree looked from day one.  I told you I'd get this picture on my journal Dad.   Yes, this is my Dad's pride and joy.  Well, that is taking it to the extreme.  Dad makes wreaths and such for decorations around the house and on the doors.  I should have taken a picture of them!   Anyway, this is what was left after he took the branches off.  It was decided he'd decorate and make it his 'Charlie Brown' tree for the basement.  The basement is where we did most of our celebrating Christmas Eve.  I especially love his angel.  Isn't it precious?   No magic took place that night, Snoopy did not show up and make it all better. 

 

All is well here.  The temperatures have once again dropped and are now closer to the norm for mid January.  It was trying to sleet or snow or something earlier.  Now it's just cold!  I have to think the snow they got in Green Bay is on the way.  Oh well.... it is winter, and I am in Buffalo.  Can't expect the 60's for long at this time of year. 

 

Speaking of Green Bay they won the game today, beating Seattle 42-20.  It did not start out good for the Pack... on their first two possessions the ball was fumbled and recovered by Seattle.  Both leading to scores.  In a matter of minutes they were down 14-0.   New England won too.  Anyone surprised?  I really thought the Jags had a good chance to pull it off and they stuck with them for a long time.   In the end they lost by 11.  Congrats to both teams, and those who picked them :)  Two more games tomorrow.

 

Hope everyone had a great day today....  wishing you a wonderful Sunday.

 

Hugs

I really thought Seattle would pull it off.  Oh well.  We were more excited about the snow than the game.  We see so little snow here.  I called my daughter and told her to turn the game on (she hates football).  She did and she was so excited she watched the whole second half...LOL.
I love, love, love your dad's Charlie Brown tree.  It's perfect.  I'm glad you shared it with us.  Enjoy your Sunday and have a good night.
Hugs, Joyce

That tree is darling!  And the angel is absolutely precious.  That'll be a keepsake, no doubt.  

Both the teams I hoped would win lost today.  Doug's so bummed about Seattle.  He expected them to lose, but after those two opening touchdowns, I think he was really hopeful.  

So far I'm 0-2 on my team selections this week.  Booo!  LOL

Have a good weekend, D.  

XOXO,

I was so hoping the Jags would pull out a miracle - but it was not to be--- :(
but at least Green Bay won - (doing the happy dance here) the first 5 minutes scared the life out of me....I could not believe it...but Brett kept his head on an even balance (as always) and I am a happy camper!!!!
I hope tomorrow brings even more exciting football - GO COLTS!!!  and of course the Giants!!!
Have a great sunday - BTW--I LOVE the charlie brown christmas tree - absolutely wonderful - what a cute memory!!!
Peace--Ellie

The tree is great!  I really like the sense of humor your family has.  It took me a minute or two to realize the angel is made from a styrofoam cup, LOL.  Very Cute!

No surprises in either games.  I'm thinking I chose well ... so far.  Today is another story!  lol

Love your dad's tree.  I wonder, whose cute face is on the angel?

That was my 1st thought....awww a Charlie Brown tree....Mine is STILL up (hiding face in shame)...but I am working on the upstairs (yesterday & after I finish my pot of coffee) and I will have room to put stuff back in the attic that you can't open the door too....can you say YARD SALE....(if I knew the weather would stay nice...I sure would)

Oh I am 2 of 2 right now......Go Dallas.....Go San Diego (PLEASE beat the COLTS)

That tree has charachter.  I'd take that one anyday.  the Angel on top and the stray bulbs are just too precious.  We watched part of the game last night.  I live within 30 minutes of Lambeau field.  The weather was quite snowy!  Made it an interesting game to watch.  :)

LOVE IT.  Your Daddio is clever!

I love your dad's tree.  I too thought this was a tag at first.  You certainly did a nice job framing the little guy with your graphics.

Hm, football?  I'm not sure about any of that.  It's just a excuse to make some snacks and curl up in my bedroom with Lifetime TV when the ol' man turns on that stuff.  LOL

I love the tree too, as well as, the angel!  Your dad has a wonderful sense of humor.

I watched the Green Bay game, and enjoyed watching those big flakes fall.  Watched most of the NE game, too.

It's now Sunday, and looks as if the Colts are gonna drop this game!  *sigh*

LOVE the tree!  Too funny.
I took a nap this afternoon but when I woke up my husband was watching ice skating NOT football.  I'm expecting some sort of natural disaster to occur now...
