AN UNCOMMON BLEND. HURT SO GOOD, COME ON BABY, MAKE IT HURT SO GOOD, SOMETIMES LOVE DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT SHOULD . . . WITH A GIRL LIKE YOU. SHARING OUR BLESSINGS ON THIS THANKSGIVING DAY! THE FIRST, TIME THE NATION CELEBRATED THANKSGIVING AS A HOLIDAY, WAS BECAUSE, PRESIDENT GEORGE WASHINGTON, AND OTHERS, WANTED TO CELEBRATE THE NEW CONSTITUTION! THIS DOCUMENT, HAS BEEN GUIDING, PROTECTING, AND LEADING THIS GREAT NATION FOR OVER 240+ YEARS . . . WE USE IT, OR WE LOSE IT! YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE TAKEN AN OATH, OF OFFICE, TO PRESERVE, DEFEND AND PROTECT, THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION! WE ARE THE WORLD'S ENVY, BECAUSE OF THE RIGHTS, FREEDOMS, LIBERTIES, PROTECTIONS, AND PRIVILEGES. WE ARE ONE NATION UNDER GOD, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! WE NEED TO CELEBRATE! LAST NIGHT ON THE NEWS, I HEARD THAT, REI THE OUTDOOR CO-OP, FOR THE FOURTH YEAR, IS CLOSING ALL THEIR STORES, ON BLACK FRIDAY, THE DAY AFTER, THANKSGIVING, AND TELLING THEIR WORKERS TO GET OUTDOORS! SOME 400 RETAILERS HAVE JOINED IN THIS NEW TRADITION! I LOVE THIS, IN AND OF THE FACT, THAT, BY HALLOWEEN, WE ARE RUSHING, THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS, WE NEED, AS A NATION, TO TAKE TIME TO RELISH, THESE FUN TIMES OF YEAR, FACILITATE, FAMILY DINNERS AND GATHERINGS, RATHER, THAN, ALWAYS FOCUSING ON THAT ALL AMERICAN GREED AND DOLLAR! WE TAKE THE MOST FUN TIME OF THE YEAR, THE PRETTIEST, FALL LEAVES IN THE SEATTLE AREA, ARE OFF THE CHARTS, GORGEOUS . . . AND WE BLOW THROUGH IT ALL, FOR WHAT, TO BE SAD, BLEAK, BORED, IN JANUARY, WITH LITTLE TO REMEMBER, BUT, THE RUSH, THE HUSTLE AND THE BUSTLE? FUCK NO! BLACK FRIDAY, CAN BE, BLACK SATURDAY! WE CAN HAVE A DAY, TO PLAY TAG FOOTBALL IN THE YARD, WATCH AND GAME TOGETHER, PLAY CARDS, EAT, AND EAT, AND EAT, AGAIN! WHAT IS WRONG WITH A LAZY ASS DAY, TO THINK, THANK, PRAY, AND BE GREATFUL FOR ALL WE HAVE AND CHERISH, IN AMERICA, AS CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! THE FAMILY UNIT, IS THE BEDROCK OF SOCIETY! WE NEED TO FOSTER, LOVE, HARMONY, TIME, FUN, PLAY, GOOD FOOD, AND BUILD LASTING MEMORIES! THERE ARE ENDLESS PAY OFFS FOR DOING THESE, SMALL BUT SIMPLE THINGS. JUST HAVING DINNER TOGETHER, AT NIGHT, CUTS DOWN, ON 50% OF TEEN ALCOHOL USE! WHAT? THAT IS AMAZING. WE NEED TO DO THAT! THINK IF THE LONG TERM, RAMIFICATIONS OF THAT, IN SOCIETY? FROM JUVI COURTS, TO JAILS, TO DETENTIONS, TO YOUTH LOCK-UPS, TO DUI'S, TO PARTNER AND FAMILY ABUSE . . .BLAH, BLAH, BLAH! FAMILIES MATTER! I LOVE THE NEW COMMERCIAL, SHOWING THREE SHOTS OF NORMAL PARENT, CHILD INTERACTION, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE FIRST ONE, BUT THE SECOND ONE, IS A DAUGHTER SITTING ON THE COUCH, AND HER FATHER, INTERFERS WITH HER SOCIAL MEDIA, AND, RATHER THAN, GETTING MAD, SHE SMILES AT DAD AND SAYS, DO YOU WANT TO TALK DAD? THEN, THE MOTHER AND FATHER, ARE SHOCKED TO SEE THEIR TEENAGE SON, VACUUMING THE FLOORS, WITHOUT BEING ASKED . . . THE POINT OF THE AD, IS "THE NAUGHTY LIST IS NOT AN OPTION!" ISN'T THAT A REFRESHING THOUGHT FOR PARENTS? DEALING WITH KIDS, TAKING THAT, OLD, YOU BETTER WATCH OUT, YOU BETTER NOT CRY, BECAUSE, SANTA CLAUS IS WATCHING, HE SEES YOU WHEN YOUR SLEEPING, HE KNOWS WHEN YOUR AWAKE, HE KNOWS IF YOU'VE BEEN BAD OR GOOD, SO BE GOOD FOR GOODNESS SAKE! IT'S HIP TO BE SQUARE! BUT IT THERE . . . HIGH FIVE!

ICE, ICE BABY . . . JUST SOME THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS ADVICE!

THE HOLIDAYS ARE UPON US!

MAKE MEMORIES THAT LAST . . . AND MOM AND DAD, THAT IS YOU SPENDING TIME WITH YOUR KIDS!

GRANDPARENT ADVICE . . . I STILL, REMEMBER, ONE OF THE MOST PRECIOUS MOMENTS AS A GRANDMA FOR ME, WAS, WHEN, I TOOK TIME, TO SIT AND EITHER READ, OR GET ON THE INTERNET WITH, MY THREE GRANDKIDS, ALL BOYS, WANTING TO KEEP THEM ENTERTAINED AND THE HOUSE CLEAN, BACK WHEN, I HAD ONE, BUT, TELLING THEM TO STORY OF, OLD EPHRIUM, THE FAMOUS, NORTHERN UTAH, SOUTHERN IDAHO, MONSTER GRIZZLE BEAR, THAT STOOD OVER 11 FEET TALL, WITH A SKULL SIZE, LIKE TWICE THE SIZE OF THE NORMAL GRIZZLE, WAS MISSING, ON TOE, BECAUSE HE GOT IT RIPPED OFF, WHEN, A BEAR TRAP CAUGHT HIM, BUT DIDN'T SNAG HIM, ALL THE WAY . . . HE IS RUMORED TO HAVE KILLED 150 SHEEP IN ONE NIGHT, SLAUGHTERED COWS, AND TAUNTED AND HAUNTED, FARMERS AND RANCHERS FOR DECADES!  FINALLY, A MAN, HUNTING THE GREAT LEGEND BEAR, WAS DRINKING IN THE RIVER, WHEN, HE DOG, WENT NUTS, HE TURNED AND STANDING OVER HIM, WAS OLD EPHRIUM!  SCARED OUT OF HIS BOOTS, HE GRABBED HIS RIFLE AND SHOT ALL 6 ROUNDS IN TO THE BEAST, KILLING HIM.  THE MAN, REGRETTED HIS WHOLE LIFE, TO THE END, THAT HE KILLED THE LEGEND BEAR, HIS PASSION FOR LIFE!

IN THE MIDDLE OF AN OVER GENEROUS CHRISTMAS MORNING, WITH PRESENTS, WRAPPING, GOODIES, CHRISTMAS CHEER, ALMOST TOO OVERWHELMING FOR MY OLDEST GRANDSON, KAEL, HE CAME OVER AND SAID, GRANDMA, CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT OLD EPHRIUM, THE LEGEND BEAR?

OUR TIME, OUR STORIES, SHARING WHO WE ARE, WITH OUR YOUNG, IS WORTH FAR MORE THAN, ANY PRESENT WE CAN GIVE OUR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS.  PLUS, THEY WILL REMEMBER, IT MUCH LONGER, PROBABLY FOR LIFE!

HAVE A BLESSED AND JOYOUS HOLIDAY SEASON!  'TIS THE SEASON!

BE GENEROUS TO THOSE LESS FORTUNATE, LIKE ME!  JUST JOKING, I AM BLESSED BEYOND REASON!

THANK YOU!

SOB

P.S., THANKS, WOODLAND UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, FOR BELIEVING IN ME!

BIG KISS . . . THANKS FOR HOUSING THE HOT TRAMPS OF HAMMOND HOUSE!  SMILE.
