Jet Lag

Tonight I am still suffering from jet lag. More about the napping pictures at the end of the post.

Nap Time, Nebraska Sweatshirt, Relaxing at Grandma'sTonight my plan was to catch up on The Curse of Oak Island which meant watching several episodes since they are not available on-demand. On Tuesdays the previous two episodes are usually shown before the most current one.

Dad Sleeping, Grandma's House, Sunday Nap, RelaxingI made it through the first episode with no problem, but by the time the second episode was half way through I was starting to doze off.

Sleeping, nap time, grandpa and granddaughter, Throwback ThursdayFor the third episode I had to back up the broadcast several times when I would fall asleep.

They are finally finding some interesting things and I really wanted to pay attention to what was going on.

Nap, chair, lazy boy, mona lisaI finally made it to the end of the show and am now looking forward to the next episode.

Now to the pictures in this post. The first three have been used in a post before titled Too Tired to Post.

The first picture is an old one of me napping at my Grandparent’s house near Hamburg, Iowa.

The second picture is my Dad in the same chair.

The third picture is my maternal Grandfather napping with my older sister.

The last picture is on of my paternal Grandfather napping with me. However, I don’t think he was getting much of a nap. I had been trying to find this picture for awhile and finally did tonight.

These pictures all bring back some good memories.

Now for some sleep…….

Old Holiday Cards

It is hard to believe that Christmas is next week. There has not been enough time since Thanksgiving.

Classic Christmas Card 1960 - Church Building and Parsonage on a Silent Night - Snowy Christmas SceneTonight I am a bit tired as I am still recovering from my trip to Germany. So I will share some old holiday cards that I have posted before.

The card above is one of my favorites. I like this little scene with the blue snow 🙂

Christmas Cheer - Classic Christmas Cards - 1960 - Snowy woodsI have been thinking about snow since it snowed while I was in Germany. I didn’t have to trudge through snow this deep, but have in the past.

Showmen - Holiday Card - Christmas Card - Classic Christmas CardOf course snow makes me think of snowmen. This cute card is also one of my favorites.

I was talking about snowmen with my Mom last night. She has a large collection that she puts out each year.

Snowman, Hunter, Gun, Christmas DecorationsOK, my mind is wandering now to snowmen, but couldn’t resist posting this picture. A neighbor down the street has this in his yard each year.

Snow Scene, Village in Snow, Country Snow Scene, Little Village churchSo now back to old holiday cards with another snow scene.

Now for some sleep.
