Persimmons & our Christmas Card
The other day at work I was sitting on a webinar (on-line conference). By Thursday afternoon I had sat through the same conference 6 times and that 6th time, I’m not going to lie, I think I started day dreaming. Truthfully what was running through my head were phrases that my dad says all the time. But one inparticular he says is about Persimmons. He says it so much that one of the last times I was in Branson at Silver Dollar City I found a book about Persimmons and bought it for him. But to this day, I can’t tell you what that silly phrase is, but here are some of the more classic “dad” phrases.
- Finer than a Frogs Hair split 4 ways.
- The Seven P’s to Perfection:
- Proper Prior Planning Prevents Pretty Poor Performance
- I’m standing on my head in the corner stacking bebe’s with my nose
And while we’re at it, here’s one my grandpa said:
- How do you catch a wild rabbit? unique up on him
How do you catch a tame rabbit? The tame way.
Ok anyway 🙂 moving on……so I’ve been seeing on a lot of blogs people are already talking about Christmas cards. Really? I’d think to myself, but truthfully, it’s best to send them out basically right after Thanksgiving so they are there early… so yeah I guess maybe I should work on ours too. We already had our photo chose then I went around to different places looking for just the right card. I wound up on Shutterfly.com based off other recommendations. I’m so glad I did… Look at the card we’re sending out!
and if you are on my card list, act surprised when you receive it, I’m just sayin!
I love this card. I worked it up, sent a screen shot to my husband (took a picture with my camera of the computer screen b/c he couldn’t get my email for some reason – HA) and he loved it. Sent an actual screen shot to my mom and a couple friends making sure they thought it was cute and then bought it :).
I can’t wait to get them in my hand and start addressing them and mailing them out!
Ugh, I need to get on the ball and get our cards done!
Yours are cute!
Your dad and grandpa need to get together with my grandma Goldie. Love the card. Very festive.
Just got mine in the mail on Wed , Shutterfly is awsome and fast! Your cards look great!
I love the Dad and Grandpa quotes. And your Christmas card turned out great! I'm usually too lazy to send any.
I can't even think about Christmas cards this year – I haven't decided if we'll be sending them. It's always such a daunting thing to write them out. LOL
LOVE LOVE LOVE that card!! I need to order ours!!
That's a great picture! I've never sent Christmas cards out before because Ryan and I don't live together so I thought it might be weird. Next Christmas, after the wedding, we'll def. send out Christmas cards!
I love the cards!! I havent even thought about Christmas Cards this year…I dont think I am sending them out! LOL! Hopefully I can just get the wedding save the dates done…LOL!
