Belated birthday wishes to DR Ryacko!!

I see you celebrated by doing your entire 2014 aerobic exercise quota a bit early. What a drag!! Is there a FixCarNow near you? They have a free shuttle and are very obliging.

DR Chaz, did I wish you a happy birthday? If not, I'll do so now. And I imagine you were able to celebrate by shoveling snow. In any case, best wishes.

Good afternoon. Our children's nativity went well this year.

That's nice. And I played my part in the bells half asleep, but without messing up.

Had to read that post a few times to shake off what I first thought it said. : o

Oh?

I LOVED CHICAGO'S MUSICAL PIANO!! I'm a big fan of musical events in public places, especially what seem to be spontaneous events, and this was really fun.

Is there anything one can do if you had a package delivered ("Left on door step"), but you never received it? Unfortunately, I bought it with a debit card instead of a credit card. UPS says they dropped it off at my door step at 10:38 on Wednesday. I would have been in the bathroom getting ready for the Old Actors lunch. When I left an hour later there was nothing at my door. Delivery robbery has been a serious problem this year in Seattle and Tacoma.

UPS used to have a default of $100 for this problem. I had an incident many years ago in Alexandria, VA. They claimed they delivered a package. I was home and saw and heard nothing. It was around the holidays, too, I think. The contents were worth far more than $100, but at least it was something.

UPS deliveries are sometimes sloppy, but those drivers have to really hustle--they never stop. A bit more common sense would help.

Looks like on castrecl, some people who normally are so rational, and have no problems with the filmmakers and writers not being factual in other works, seem to be having trouble with the lack of reality in the Disney film.

That's actually quite funny.

I had an enormous to-do list for this past fall. Full of fun stuff like dental visits and car repair, often multiple times. I wasn't able to get it all done; some of it was pushed to January and some will wait until I can do it. I'm very glad to get done what I did, though. I don't know how much longer the car would have run--or my computer. I'm now finishing up one or two Christmas things and look forward to some much-needed R&R.

At the end of every year I'm always in the mood to give the apartment a thorough cleaning, toss what I don't need, and start the new year fresh. I did some of the cleaning, but have LOTS of tossing to do. At least I hope there's lots of tossing.

Thank you, Jeanne.

It has been such a joy playing to sold out houses this weekend.

NICE!

It's official: I'm coming down with something. Ugh.

Perhaps some alcohol would help.

Wish I had some egg nog.

I thought the one for THE WINTER'S TALE looked really good. Now I want to read the Helprin novel.

I read "Winter's Tale" when it first came out in paperback. If well done the movie should be very pretty to watch.

I didn't think that UPS was allowed to simply leave a package at the door. Especially if you were home. I would definitely call UPS to complain. I mean if you didn't get it.

Is it possible that a neighbor thought that you were out and took it in for you?

UPS leaves packages all the time.

It was UPS that left Bryan's package near the trash, and Kate was home all day.

We have had excellent UPS and FedX service at this house.

Ah, so there'll be a recording of PURE IMAGINATION? Very good!

Bruce, you mentioned something about licensing recently, but I wasn't sure what you were referring to.

Went out to a fundraiser to benefit the husband of the woman who died recently that I told you about, Barbara Wolfe. Great event. Lots of local musicians playing and beer/burgers both donated, so they were included in your $20 admission, all of which will go to Steve. Steve was well enough to attend (he's been waiting for a year for a kidney transplant). I think they raised about $3,000.

And now back to the writing.

Jane · « **Reply #81 on:** December 22, 2013, 05:10:07 PM »

The fundraiser was a nice thing to do. I'm always impressed with the amount of work that is put into doing those, which is probably why you don't see them all that often.

My favorite photos from this morning:

Mae-Ling the shepherd and the lamb who stole the show

Wae-Ling the angel

Cute photos, DR Laura!

Laura · « **Reply #84 on:** December 22, 2013, 05:17:46 PM »

They are in focus, really. It messed them up smallerizing them, I guess.

And they were HUGE in preview. Now they are tiny.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #85 on:** December 22, 2013, 05:19:03 PM »

Nice photos DR LAURA.....

Photobucket resizes all my photos as well, no matter what I do....

An ice storm hit Michigan last night and there's no power at my sister's, nor at Mary Linda's family's. Rob and ML are there, planning to come home tomorrow.

DR Laura the girls look lovely in their costumes and I can see why the little lamb stole the show, so darn cute.

We had french toast this morning and then went for a nice long walk. Our road still has some snow but it was fine.

I have also ironed. I save it up until I have enough to make it work getting the ironing board out, but not too much as my shoulder can't handle it. I had too much this time-ow well. It feels good to have it done.
