All great pictures. And now I must go and finish
my shopping. I'm usually finished and wrapped and
moving on to baking long before this. Let's hope
I finish today!!

Nice variety pix!
Put on your shopping armor Deb, this is suppose to be the busiest shopping day of the year.

Another very nice set of photos! Especially 2005 and 2014!! And I can't imagine how that dog could walk that smooth ice without slipping. He looks like he's being very careful!

No one said anything about this ship polluting the Great Lakes.

Got lake effect snow in Ontonagon and it's "the frosting on the cake".

Looking so forward to Christmas.

Alex, shopping was crazy. You were right about
that. But it does put you in the spirit, for
sure.

Just wanted to let you all know that Shirley's
daughter informed me that Shirley is in hospice
due to the spread of her cancer. They are
controlling her pain and keeping her comfortable
but she is sleeping a lot. She's asking for
prayers. I love Shirley. She is always so
upbeat and kind to everybody. You'd never know
she's been suffering with cancer. Prayers are
going out for her.

My heart is broken. Keeping Shirley in my positive prayers and thoughts. You go girl.

God Bless Shirley and her family. Shirley is a joy to have in life! She is a gracious lady and enjoy her posts here! Prayers and my best wishes to her!

Thanks, guys. I knew you'd want to know. Maybe
with all of our prayers, she'll start feeling
better.

Janie, I just love that picture of Kipp and Mavis.

My prayers are with Shirley. I feel like she is a dear friend

Get well, Shirley. Sending prayers.

I agree, they look like well cared for, well groomed and healthy family members.

And thank you Deb for Shirley's update. Alex, Kipp & Mavis eat better and healthier than I do. lol

Sending my prayers and wishes for Shirley to have less pain...cancer is such an evil illness. God be with you, Shirley.
