Miranda Lambert - It All Comes Out in the Wash (Audio)

Some things.... simply Bring a Smile, to my face.

Spent last night....basking, in The Christmas Tree's Glow.

<3 <3 <3 

: )

It's so much warmer...in the newer side of the house, where The Tree...is.

John, Insulated It...Well. <3 <3 <3 

A Dear....Pal, stopped by, yesterday.

<3

She, and I...visited for a Long....time, beside The Tree.

: )

We caught up, on so Much.

Even...'politics'. 

oh dear.

: )

She, and I...don't stand on the same side of the isle, but....really, we agree on so much more, than don't.

<3 

I'm one of few, she can talk to....about politics, who stand on the other side.

I, Love Her....and, Respect....her.

Our Friendship....is worthy of these discussions.

<3

We both, learn...and grow, from these conversations.

There's no way...in Heck, I'd Ever...let 'politics'...divide us, as Friends.

Ever.

Ever.

<3 <3 <3 

I, told her....like the song goes, 'It'll All...Come Out, in The Wash'.

In our Country's History, It Always....Has.

<3 

We are Blessed, to Live...in a Country, where we can speak our thoughts.

<3

Many, on this planet, don't have that opportunity, without the threat of being beaten, or...worse.

: (

oh...my. 

: (

She spotted the Book, I'd just found on my Travels.

: ) : ) : )

When I saw it, I...about Dropped!!!

Hahahaha!

{She told me when I get tired of it, she wants it. ; ) }

I, said....the fact is....

most 'Ladies', don't ask for much.

<3

She agreed!!!

Oh...my.

: )

Yes, some things, really...bring a Smile, to my face.

; )

Life, is too short, to worry about politics.

{It'll all come out in the wash. ; ) }

Love, and....Laughter, are The Best Medicine....for Most Anything!!!

That, being said....

Love, to You....

Hope you find Something, that 'Tickles' Ya....a Little, and...

It Puts a Big Grin, on your face...when ya think about it.

<3 

{I don't care...if  politicians are democrats, republicans, or....independents.

If, they don't have empathy, and....won't 'Stand', for Children...Elderly, {disabled} or...Critters, well...they won't get my vote. }

I, think of the Best Quote, from 'Edith Lucielle's Bait Shack, and Wing Depot', as I think about my voting criteria.

: ) 

"I Don't Care...'Who', You Are.

Who...'You Think'...You Are, 

or...

Who Your Daddy Is."

: )

If you don't have 'empathy', for those...who can't vote for you,

 You...

will be Dismissed, on my ballot.

Some elections, I didn't vote at all.

I, just 'Put'er on Spin'.

{I, have...a few. I, was Hunting Bottle Brush Trees, and Vintage Christmas.}

Then, I decided....to look at the images, inside.
