Relentlessly

 

 

Twas the night of the blizzard
and all through the house
each creature was stirring
including the mice.

Fireplace warmth by tender candlelight
sooths lurking shadows of night.

Steaming hot cocoa and gooey marshmallows
fills the room with laughter and delight.

When what...
should my wondering eyes behold;
but the amazing sight of our neighbor Fred
shoveling the snow from our walkway and drive.

'Tis true many a time

I have relentlessly prayed
for that wild whiskey man.
I just never expected the blessings at hand.
Thanks FRED!
God Bless ya!
Yep, those angel wings really add ...
.........a festive touch!

Merry Christmas to all,
and to all a blessed night.

 

 

 lest we forget sobriety is one mere step at a time.

    I'm laughing!

    Naw, that couldn't be me, Washington St. is too far away. Although there is that little "forgetful" period I had last night...could Santa have come by and given me a ride in his sleigh? That would explain these red buns I have this morning! Nope, I'm gonna deny it, not me, not me...

    I loved the write,
    Brazos
