1. Do you believe in miracles?
Yes, I do. But I have also learned that sometimes God’s miracles are not what I might like or want. You know. Like when you were a kid and you prayed for candy bars? Well I’ve learned to pray for God’s will to be done. Sometimes a real miracle does occur. Other times my heart breaks and I lean on God to get through, thus providing a miracle of faith.
2. What’s a recent fad you admit to trying?
I am really totally fad-less! I’m so old and fixed in my ways, it is not funny. OK, if I have to say something I will admit to buying a paisley shirt!
3. Peppermint-are you a fan? If so, what’s your favorite food or beverage containing peppermint?
Love peppermint! Favorite food containing peppermint? Oh at this time of year I love peppermint bark!
4. Break the ice, on thin ice, as cold as ice (emotionally, not literally)…which phrase have you run into most recently? Explain.
Break the ice. I have a lot of trouble telling people how I really feel. I am terrified of being rejected. This year I actually told someone how I really felt. (It went well.)
5. Have you ever broken or spilled something in someone else’s home? Still friends?
Yes. I fell all over myself with regret and I replaced the item, but the relationship was never the same. I sort of wonder if I ever really was their friend, and that this was an excuse. You see it was a bathroom light globe. I went right out and replaced it and Hubby installed it. But after that the relationship ended.
6. ‘Tis the week before Christmas…are you feeling more like Buddy the Elf or the Grinch before his heart grew?
Buddy the Elf I guess. I am really into Christmas. Savannah’s present arrives today. I can hardly wait.
7. Share a favorite quote relating to Christmas.
“Dear George, Remember no man is a failure who has friends. Thanks for the wings, Love, Clarence.”
From “It’s A Wonderful Life”

My favorite winter picture of Arnie!
Abby helped me feel more in the Christmas spirit! Love YOU, Mel
In my late teens we had a toy poodle named “Trinket” who loved to play in the sonow. One time He did not come in and I had to go find him. He was stuck in the snow and could not move because of all the snow tuck to his fur. Much like Arnie but much worse!!
if you broke my bathroom light fixture then bought a new one and had Jack replace it I’d be thrilled LOL!
Oh your little pup covered in snowballs is too cute! Merry Christmas Maribeth! I hope you have so much fun sharing the joy with your precious little Savannah.
Glad to hear you have broken the emotional ice this year, you’ve been very brave 🙂
I trust you have a blessed Christmas.
What an adorable picture of Arnie !
We don’t have any snow it’s actually quiet warm for the season, 8°C !
Hi! oh what a cute dog! I am not sure if my dog will like snow if it snowed here. He doesn’t like walking in the cold, however snow is known to make dogs a bit crazy. He was at the beach and he couldn’t stop running. I hope you have a merry Christmas! That’s too bad on no. 5 ;/ I’ve had that happen to me, i think people should be more forgiving!
