TIS THE SEASON

**** CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

CHILI PEPPER DOES 95% OF OUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING . SHE IS A SHOP TILL YOU DROP DYNAMO .

IN THE PAST CHILI PEPPER & SISTER HAVE HIT IT . CRISS-CROSSING TOWN FROM MALL TO MALL RELENTLESSLY LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT GIFT AT THE BEST COST.

BATTLING CROWDS , FIGHTING FOR PARKING SPACES , BURNING LOTS OF TIME AND GAS . A FRENETIC STRESSFUL TIME .

BUT THIS YEAR CHILI PEPPER ENJOYED THE WONDER OF CLICK-N-ORDER . IN ABOUT HALF THE TIME SHE KNOCKED IT OUT .

NO DRIVING ,NO PARKING HASSELS , NO CROWDS, NO STRUGGLING WITH CRAZED WOMEN FOR THE LAST DO - DAD REMAINING .

JUST A QUIET TIME WITH A CUP OF COFFEE STILL IN HER JAMMIES ,THE GIRL SHOPPED COAST TO COAST .

THEN LO AND BEHOLD  A FEW DAYS LATER THE PACKAGES CAME RIGHT TO OUR DOOR .  SO EASY SO RELAXED .

I DON'T THINK CHILI PEPPER WILL GO BACK TO THE HUSTLE & BUSTLE OF BRICK -N MORTOR WHEN SHE CAN JUST CLICK - N- ORDER .

**** MEMPHIS FOOTBALL

THE TIGERS HAD A GREAT SEASON  - 10 WINS & CONFERENCE CHAMPS
                                                  BOWL GAME  54 - 48 OVER BYU IN DOUBLE OVERTIME
                                                   FIGHT - THEY TKO-ED THE COUGARS
THOSE BOYS USED POOR JUDGEMENT GETTING IN A FIGHT WITH MEMPHIS. BYU DIDN'T KNOW MEMPHIS IS A GOOD PLACE TO GET YOUR BUTT WHIPPED .

THAT WEST COAST MENTALITY WON'T CUT IT IN THE BLUFF CITY .

MEMPHIS WILL BE LUCKY TO KEEP FUENTE . ANOTHER GOOD YEAR AND THE BIG BOYS WILL BE CALLING .

JUSTIN WILL BE THE FIRST MEMPHIS COACH TO LEAVE FOR A BETTER JOB SINCE FRED PANCOAST IN 1975 I THINK .

LYNCH MAY HAVE A FUTURE IN THE NFL . PAXTON HAS THE ARM BUT CAN HE READ DEFENSES . WE'LL SEE.

IT IS A GREAT REWARD FOR TIGER FANS TO ENJOY A SEASON SUCH AS THIS . IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME

GO - TIGERS - GO !!!

**** GOOD BOOKS

I LOVE TO READ , HAVE LOVED TO READ EVER SINCE I COULD . I AVERAGE ABOUT TWO BOOKS A WEEK .

I AM TRYING THE KINDLE UNLIMITED WHICH IS GOING WELL . FOR TEN BUCKS A MONTHS I HAVE  A LOT OF BOOKS TO CHOOSE FROM .  NO WORRY ABOUT STORAGE , WHICH IS AN ISSUE AT OUR HOUSE  . FROM TIME TO TIME I AM FORCED TO PART WITH BOOKS . JUST TOO MANY STACKED UP .

I JUST PICKED UP THE PARABLES OF JESUS BY R.C. SPROUL .  I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE NEW HOWARD SCHNELENBERGER  BOOK IF ANYONE IS LISTENING .

**** JESSICA CHAMBERS

I AM FOLLOWNG THE CHAMBERS  INVESTIGATION     CLOSELY .   SMALL TOWNS ARE RIPPED APART BY A TRAGEDY  LIKE THIS .  I HOPE JUSTICE IS COMING SOON .
