The 4N1 - Unique, Innovative, Award-winning and the Perfect Mobility Chair/Rollator for You or Someone You Love!

A couple days ago I was out and about with my 4N1. When I got to the store and was riding it through the parking lot, a woman in the space next to my car said; "Wow! What is that? Where did you get it?" I told her it was the 4N1 and was online at Miracle Mobility and shared with her how it is four items in one - a rollator, electric chair, a chair which someone is able to push you in, and a chair which someone else is able to drive for you - the lady was impressed and said she had never seen anything like it before and had to get one!

Three-Eyed, Big Nosed, Spotted Alien Hats

When my grandsons were younger, each year I crocheted a hat for them for one of their gifts at Christmas. We live in a snowy state - typically - and winters are cold here; I wanted their little heads to be warm. Plus, if you have to wear a hat, I figure it might as well be fun . . . and a little silly and crazy is fine, too!

My Christmas Carol for Today - Pentatonix - That's Christmas to Me

There are just eleven more days until Christmas, so today I am happy to share another of my "Christmas Carols" with you. This wonderful song is from Pentatonix - That's Christmas to Me at this link.

This song is all about Christmas memories - my memories of Christmas as a child center around time with family in our lake house where we always spent Christmas and lots of snow - because I grew up in Michigan. My memories as a mom revolve around time with my husband and children and now as a grandma it is all about time with family - and gifts as I LOVE giving gifts! What are your Christmas memories?

I have not heard this song before, so if you are like me and might like to sing along, here are the lyrics . . .

just for fun - Silly But Real Laws in Arizona!

Get ready to laugh! As I looked up some silly, but real laws in Arizona, I realized once again we were likely to get a good laugh from these laws and have something funny to share with our grandchildren . . . to spread the laughing! After all, laughing is good for our health!

Today is National Cocoa Day!

Today is National Cocoa Day so I thought I'd share some fun cocoa facts with you. Did you know . . .

• Long before people nibbled on bars and brownies, chocolate was consumed in liquid form. Historians credit the Olmec civilization of southern Mexico as being the first to roast the fruit from the cacao tree, then grind it down and mix it with water and other ingredients. Archaeologists have discovered Olmec pottery with trace amounts of chocolate dating back to around 1700 BCE.

crafting with grandma . . . One Purple Minion Completed . . . Two More to Go!

Ten years ago for Easter, I made my grandsons crocheted Perry the Platypus . . . I hid them in my house so they could go find them! It was lots of fun! The boys' Perrys were been well-loved, which was wonderful, since they were made with love! (You'll find the link to the pattern at this link.)

The following year, I made purple minions for my grandsons! You'll find the basic pattern I used at this link - I obviously made the minion purple instead of yellow and added a big mouth with lots of teeth, an eyelid to the one eye, dark grey overalls, longer arms and lots of crazy hair!

The Relief for Grief - Available on Amazon

The past few years have brought blessings into our lives for sure, but with covid, many have experienced loss as well, whether it was the loss of someone they love, the loss of being able to spend time with the ones we love, the loss of a job, the loss of fellowship with others, the loss of our confidence, to mention just a few. Some of us have also experienced loss which was not related to covid as loss is a normal part of our lives.

Today is National Poinsettia Day!

According to Nationaltoday dot com, "What we refer to as National Poinsettia Day is called 'La Flor de la Nochebuena' — or Flower of the Holy Night in Mexico. Poinsettias are revered there because of a legend which recounts the story of a poor little girl who despaired of having no gift for Jesus' birthday. When an angel appears to tell the child the most important thing is to give a gift with love, the child gathers weeds from the side of a road to place in the baby's manger. Miraculously, the weeds bloomed into gorgeous red star flowers."

National today also shares some fun Poinsettia facts - did you know . . .

This may not be a combination you would have thought of, but Andrea Bocelli and Reba McEntire sing Blue Christmas in a most beautiful way - you will find it at this link.

This was a song Elvis didn't want to sing because he thought it was too, too, sad, but he did and now it is a favorite. If you would like to sing along, you will find the lyrics here . . .
