A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS TREE - LEGO CAR #77242 - DRIFTING TOY CARS - FALLING DOWN UPDATE - MORNING BISCUITS - JIBBER JABBER

This Christmas tree was found alongside a forest trail, cut down, drug home, trimmed to fit though front door, set in place and decorated. A new tradition began this Christmas season. Personally, there is nothing better than a Charlie Brown Christmas tree. 

 And cat approved.

STILL A KID AT HEART

I told my wife the other morning that as long as I can sit down and build LEGO cars, my mind is still working fine. And the kid in me is still alive, too.

LEGO  race car #77242. Phase 1 completed. 

 

And in the "still a kid in me" arena, son's kid in him is working well also.

 FOLLOWUP ON RECENT FALL

The space I fell through a week ago has been upgraded with crossbars welded in the space(s). My wife and I briefly talked of this solution and yesterday morning, a local kid with welding equipment showed up and did the job. A Christmas present from my wife. All we have to do now is cover the cross bars with round plumbing foam insulation to protect car doors opening into those spaces. Actually, looks like the bars belong there.

BISCUITS FOR ONE 

I have shared this fellow's video before and it has been my "go to" recipe for a few years now.  

These were a treat this morning for her and me. Christmas season and all of that. Cut in half with melting butter and local apple jelly. I increased the size of the recipe so that we could treat again at lunchtime today. It has been at least two years since I have baked biscuits. Thinner dough also yielded a few extra biscuits.

 I may not be able to wait for lunch now as I look at this photo above.

JIBBER JABBER  

Shortest day of the year today. The sun starts to rise on the horizon, days will be getting longer along with changing seasons. Texas February winter is still ahead of us, but 70 and 80 degrees coming this week of Christmas. Warm winds blow.

We have started watching the Yellowstone series again and have forgotten how great this series was. So much happened in that first season. 

Wishing all of you well this Christmas. Merry Merry and Happy Happy. 

BELIEVE  you have time for this; enjoy!
