I always tape them and my mom and I watch them together. Very interesting about the dancers. TFS. Cute shoes too!

When I would ask what she was doing and said, I would alway say "Wait...don't tell me how it ends!" I don't think she ever realized I was being sarcastic LOL. How fascinating about the dancers... I always learn something from you. Bummer about the job. But they did not even have the courtesy of informing you. For shame. They don't deserve the likes of you. ~Robin~ (Fur-lined, no tie, tenny runners??? Color me jealous!!!)

I sure appreciate your comment on my last post about the leaves. My husband and I have decided to rake our tiny front yard and back yard and leave all the rest. For 30 years I've raked most of our five acres and now feeling the effects of it all. My sister says it is possible to work yourself to death. :) I love how you described your little log home. It sounds adorable.

I have attended some of the pow-wows they hold periodically.

I think last year's selection was a little better. Your pink sneakers are cute. At my church, there are two statues of Mary, one is of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Look at the outfits on the dancers! - so festive and a pretty blue. The Mexican Christmas card is lovely and filled with color. Love that vintage snowman card! Vintage cards warm my heart. I can relate to them very much.<br /><br />Have a splendid December week, Holly.<br /><br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-67449412205736931092021-12-06T07:48:28.750-07:002021-12-06T07:48:28.750-07:00have you thought about selling your yallmark stori...have you thought about selling your yallmark stories to hallmark? it would fit right in with their sci-fi stories. somewhere there are teens and children watching these stories, much like I stuffed my head with romance books when a teen and young adult that will be stunned when they find out life is NOT like these movies... it took me years to figure out life would never be what I thought it would be. i laughed out loud at your youallmark.. sorry you did not get the call for that job... from reading this, finding a job is a lot different these daysMadSnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163140037276496519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-544752418168194822021-12-06T07:19:33.805-07:002021-12-06T07:19:33.805-07:00Loved your post!

And then, those dancers...my goodness, what talent and creativity and energy! Those costumes are amazing! Would love to see such an event as you are describing! Now, about those "pink shoes"...hey...I think you should wear them to every interview...the right place for you to be will love them AND you, and it will be a match made in heaven! Who wants to work in a stuffy place where they don't appreciate the comfort of pink fur lined shoes? Comfort is at the top of my list, especially FOOT comfort! If my feet ain't happy, ain't none of me happy! LOL. I know God has the exact right place for you...and in the meantime, keep dancing and writing and telling your stories. You may have missed your calling! Pamela M.

You have quite an imagination. Both stories had me grinning.<br /><br />Those matachines reminded me of Plains "Indians." They were dressed so well with the feather headdresses.
