We have a few inches of snow on the ground, and my Christmas wishes are all coming true

[Peacetrain]

I really liked the one last night, with SCOTUS smacking Trump back to the stone age. That was a major Christmas wish!

The trumplicans are just bound and determined to destroy the republican party.. that is the deep state that they refer to all the time.. not the Democrats.

I am sitting here, smiling, with my coffee, and snow and perfect almost Christmas day..


The trumplicans will be headaches for quite a while.. but in the end.. they will just nasty away like their incompetent leader and his screwball family.

1. Please god no snow here in CT! It's pretty but at our ages it's frightening...

Hubby won't go out at all and I am terrified of slipping and falling. You can have my snow for your enjoyment...I will gladly give it away (altho none is forecast, thank goddess!

[Peacetrain]

2. I hear you... I still love the snow.. the ice I can do without!

truthfully.. we get a lot of our moisture for the farms to start up with snow cover and a slow melt into the ground..

6. The older I get, the more I hate our Wisconsin winters!

I'm off to shovel last night's snow.

13. My hubby is a transplant from WI. We used to summer in Door County. I loved it but I didn't

love what we had to go thru to get there from CT. We're still Facebook friends with our former neighbors. Very nice people!

18. Door County is what Cape Cod wishes it were!

I LOVE Al Johnson's Swedish pancakes!

22. Those lovely concerts with all those summering Chicago Symphony members enthralled me.

But at a certain point my daughter and her husband bought a home on Chappaquiddick Island and for a while I had two places to go each summer. Pretty nice!

3. What a nice post!

It's so nice and good to see some optimism! And I happen to agree with you about the followers of Mr. Trump. What state are you in where you have some nice snow cover?

[Peacetrain]

4. I live in Iowa.. and it looks like a magazine cover today

all that is missing is Grandma and Grandpa putting the turkey on the table and family all sitting around it.. aka Grant Wood time (he was from Iowa)..

[DarthDem]

23. I love Iowa

I am deeply disappointed in its politics right now, but that can change. Sure, Grant Wood - the house was or still is in . . . Eldon?

[Peacetrain]

24. American Gothic House.. yep I think it still stands

[Wounded Bear]

5. No snow here yet, and I hope it stays in the mountains where it belongs...

As for Trumplicans, if all they wanted to do was destroy the Repub party, I'd be all on board with that. Problem is, they want to destroy America as we've come to know it, and I won't abide with that.

Just about done with my morning pot of coffee. Time for a bit of a walk and pick up the paper.

Life goes on, thankfully.

9. My Dad used that term about really unbearable people..

They will just nasty away.. and then I kept hearing Trump use it to describe women.. he will just nasty away for sure HA!! have a good one

7. Right there with you, Peacetrain. About to go shovel - snow blow, that is

that isn't much fun.

ETA - got a crock pot of chili cooking for lunch!

[Peacetrain]

8. We are on the same wave length rurallib..

I have baguettes on raising, and a pot of Kale and Chickpea soup cooking.. I thought chili, especially since I have so many frozen up.. but here it was a kale soup day.. Mr Peacetrain is out with the shovel..the snow is so wet here.. don't forget the pie with that chili

10. All I want for Christmas (personally) is a vaccination! For the world,

I want peace, health, prosperity, and a smooth transition to the competent, compassionate, scientifically-informed Biden-Harris era.

No snow here in Nashville, but I have several holly trees in my yard that are bursting with berries....plenty to "deck my halls," to share, and plenty left to brighten the yard and provide winter food for the mockingbirds. 🐦
Enjoy your snow and the pleasures of the season. I hope that all will be "merry and bright "

🎄🎁 🎅🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌 🛷

[Peacetrain]

11. You too Tanuki!

and you are right about the vaccinations.. and I envy you, your holly trees..

12. When I was growing up in West Virginia, we had one holly tree in our front yard,

and my mother used to enjoy watching the resident mocking bird's antics from our living room window. The tree blew over in a storm, and my mother was sad because she was afraid she wouldn't see that mocker again. Unbeknownst to her, my dad had a distinguished local nature artist paint a picture of a mockingbird sitting in a holly tree and gave it to her. My parents are both gone now, but I cherish that painting and all it represents about my parents, their values, and their relationship. And I have tremendous gratitude and know I am deeply blessed to own a home of my own and to have a yard with holly trees and beautiful birds! May all be so blessed!

15. What a lovely post. My parents were very passionately in love to the point that we

used to get jelous (how silly). Any my Dad hid Christmas presents around the house...little things or red herrings...she could never resist opening any package...she used to steam the tape off and then rewrap them. They were married forty years...I miss them every day.

[Peacetrain]

17. What a lovely memory... thanks for sharing it ..

and you are blessed..

[Demsrule86]

14. My wishes are coming true also Peace...K&R

[Peacetrain]

16. They are on their way out... not without a fight, but I am

feeling much better seeing how the courts did not hand over the government to them like they assumed.. The republicans gave away their party for the courts who they thought would do anything they asked.. I have been pleasantly surprised by how they have put the trumplicans in their place demsrul86

[malaise]

19. You earned it

[Peacetrain]

20. Ahh thanks malaise.. we have all earned having our wishes come true

I was just on another thread reading how the Trump supporters in DC today were chanting destroy the GOP.. boy have they let loose the crazy on themselves

21. My paternal grandma loved to quote a well known proverb

As you make your bed so you must lie on it. Greed and the quest for power expose many a dark side.
