CRISPINS CRITTERS

Christmas fast approaches....
The hustle and bustle of those looking to find gifts for others,
not realizing the true meaning behind the giving of a gift on Christmas.

3 wise men, traveling from afar, following a star that led them to Bethlehem.
They each brought a gift.
Think of the poor little Drummer Boy....
He only had one gift.

The Greatest gift ever given on Christmas was the gift of Salvation to mankind in the form of a baby, born in a manger....

Don't be so lost in the commercialism of the Holiday to forget the true meaning of Christmas.

Hoping All have a Safe, Happy and Blessed Christmas!

My Best Wishes,

Scott

A final note....

Do you have a calendar yet for 2018?

If not, a calendar from 2007 will work perfectly.
Trust me. I know these things...

Also, a calendar from 2001 will work.

I looked over my calendar collection, (Yes, I collect calendars) and found the calendar from 2001 that was hanging in my Mom's apartment when she died.
It has some of her hand written notations about appointments at the beauty shop, appointments in March about H&R Block, and other items.

Yes, I will use that calendar for the next year and every time that I glance at it, I will remember my Mom....
Yesterday was 16 years ago that I was there when she breathed her last breath.

16 years ago, Christmas wasn't so Merry.

I have learned to live my life since then to be the man that she would have been proud of.
I have learned and now understand what she always wanted me to be...
I have learned to help others, be strong, lead and be there when others are afraid.
My strength and determination comes from the Love and nurturing that I gained from,

My Mom.

Always Love you and miss you, Mom....

I'm thinking of inviting my Boss, Shannon and Tristan to come along with me to go shooting on Christmas Day with my Landlord on his property.

I've got a whole box of .410, several hundred rounds of 9mm and some .22 plinking to spend.
Landlord has some nice pistols including a .45 wheel...

Shannon has an AR....He said that he has several hundred rounds...

Dang! Put a .223 in my hands again!

Merry Christmas, Scott!

Best,

Scott

Just saw on Facebook that a guy that I served with in Germany, who is now the Chief of Police in Smyrna, Georgia,
just promoted 3 Lieutenants and 4 Sergeants!
Perhaps I'll have to go see him soon.
I haven't seen him in some 40 years since when we were both "Tower Rats" in Dallau.
He also knows of long nights spent in bunkers below zero.....snow falling, cold C-rats and Holidays far from home....
I've kept in touch, though....
I mentioned to him previously of my Volunteering with "Veterans Court" and he stated that he is also involved in the Program! :thumbsup:

Scott

I wonder....
Has he ever seen/been in bar fights? (Not counting in Germany...) Ever had a Friend die in his arms? Thoughts of suicide? Saved another from death?
Yeah. I'd like to meet up with an old Friend and have a beer and talk about how we both came to where we are now....


There is nothing like "Southern Rock,"
Dig?

"Throughout my life, times have been hard,
Yet, I must play my only card."

"When I have no Friend,
I will play my hand to the end."

"When the hands are shown,
My Friends will then be known."

"Friends, always present, are those who are there,
Win or lose, no matter the dare."

"I choose you as my Friend,
And, I'll back you to the end."

"No matter the loss, no matter the pain,
From the sun, from the rain,"

"What we learn, what we gain,
we will surely retain!"

"If you ever feel lost,
and life is just another cost,"

"Remember this, my Friend,
An answer is what I send."

"Do you think that it is easy to not grieve?
For a man to not show his emotions upon his sleeve?"

"As a man I still can cry.
For many things, just ask me why."

"When I cease to care of tender thought,
Life has meaning not."

"For, when I cease to care for thee,
Life has no more meaning left for me."




If you ever feel down about anything, PM me and I'll answer.
Together, we'll figure it out!

Stopped by my Friend's Wine and Cheese shop to collect for the ignition switch that I replaced in his car and the house re-keying job I did for his Daughter's house....

I got a pound or two of smoked Gouda, a big hunk of Havarti with caraway seed, some cream blue cheese, a roll of summer sausage, a nice bottle of German wine and a bottle of white zinfandel to give to my Landlord for Christmas!
And my Wine Friend still came out on top!

Joke of the day—A visiting minister at the start of the offertory prayer: "Dear Lord," he began with arms extended and a rapturous look on his upturned face, "without you we are but dust..."

He would have continued, but at that moment one very obedient little girl (who was listening carefully) leaned over to her mother and asked quite audibly in her shrill little girl voice, "Mommy, what is butt dust?"

Church was pretty much over at that point ...
 

45 Johnny, spies to get my truck back today. Some electrical doomaflatchey wasn’t connected to the thingamajig
 

"Folks,

As some of you might have figured out my taste in music is kind of all over the place...lol.

David Bowie - Heroes."

Thank you Bill, you made my day.
 

Johnny,

I'll see if I can come up with a few more for your listening pleasure.

David Bowie & Gail Ann Dorsey - Under Pressure.

 

I got my truck back today, it runs like a Bat out of Hell. While it was there I had the windshield changed. They cracked my dash, for an extra $400.00. My wife's idea.

Johnny,
Glad you got your truck back in working order.....not easy getting around without wheels especially being in a smaller area with little or no public transport.

Regards + HH

Bill
