TV's View Of Winter At The Jersey Shore

I have the winter cold that I always get, usually right around Christmas.
I'm always shocked when I get it.
I act as if it has never happened before, 
that I did not somehow put out the welcome mat and say "now is the worst time ever, come on in"!
Everytime I cough, I clearout the room...and Michael, he's such a smart kid, came home anyway...
I guess he is not as smart as I thought he was.
But it's so good to have him home, I will now torture him with games, puzzles,
 making a gingerbread house and all the fun Christmas things.

That storm we had on Sunday was a lot worse than I realized.
Towns are still flooded...roads impassable, schools and businesses closed, 
and delivery trucks are slow to reach people.
I saw these pictures on television, this is the beach I always visit in Bay Head,
I have never seen waves this big...I wish I had seen them in person!







Here are some pictures from television of the erosion at local beaches.


You can turn your television into this or choose from many other designs.
If you go to YouTube, then search for 
"tv christmas art" your choices will come up, then select your favorite.
This one is so pretty with falling snow!

This And That...

 We had another really major storm on Sunday night, going into Monday.
The weather people predicted it, I didn't really take them serious, but boy were they right.
The wind was so loud, so strong, and I think we got about 4 inches of rain.
Everything here at my house was fine, no floating furniture or anything, but some area towns 
and schools had to close because of flooding.
I did not get any pictures, as it happened through the night.
A lot of stores lost power, whole streets were roped off so you could not reach certain seashore towns.
I was awake during the night and heard the wind howling and the rain sliding in sideways, 
hitting the glass windows.

After losing their last 2 Sunday games, my Chiefs finally won on Sunday.




They beat the New England Patriots 27 -17


Next Christmas I would like pretty balls like these, hanging from the ceiling.
I think the hubs will be on board, don't you?


This is Match Maddness, it is so fun.
If you don't have this game and have never played it, you should order it online.
It is such an awesome game, my family loves it.

Click on the link and it will explain the game.
Another favorite you can find in stores.
I can't wait for Mike to get home and play these games.
The hubs always plays with me but it's more fun with 3.

This is the MS Tree at the MS Center
Orange is our color.
Isn't it pretty?

My youngest will be home tomorrow, I can't wait!
