As the new year begins, I find myself grateful for the gift of friendship—especially yours. May this coming year meet you gently, bring moments that make you smile without trying, and wrap you in peace on both the loud days and the quiet ones. Here’s to fresh beginnings, steady hope, and knowing you’re never walking into a new year alone. Happy New Year. Lisa
As I begin to get things done and organized for work this week, I wanted to stop by and wish you, this last week of 2025, peace, joy, happiness and most of all love. Thank you for sharing your life and world with me. I will check in on you as time allows me this week. Blessings & Hugs! Pam
Saturday is going to be GREAT. Yesterday it was 85° and today should be beautiful too.
Come on over, the gate is easy to open. There is so much we can do together today.
It is the perfect day to take the Christmas Tree down. Do you take your tree down or leave it up for a while?
I could sure use your help taking all the lights down and packing them away.
After all, we have a BLUE norther moving across our area on Sunday night. By Monday night, we will probably drop to 27°. I will NOT be outside! I will go from the warm house to the warm car to the warm office.
So you are welcome to spend the day here enjoying our temperatures in the low 80's while it lasts and having fun with me. Because even though the days are getting longer now, it will be dark and time for bed way too soon.
I WISH YOU A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!
MUAH!
LOVE ALWAYS!
YOUR FRIEND FOREVER, ANNETTE HANSHAW "THAT'S ALL!"

"Daddy" refers to
"Daddy, Won't You Please Come Home?", the signature song of 1920s jazz artist Annette Hanshaw. Recorded in 1929, it remains her most popular track and gained modern fame after appearing in the 2010 video game BioShock 2.
Song Overview
Release & Composition: Originally recorded on May 31, 1929, for Diva Records (and later Columbia/Velvet Tone) with music and lyrics by Sam Coslow.
The "Daddy" Figure: While "Daddy" was common 1920s slang for a boyfriend or lover, some interpretations of the lyrics suggest a daughter missing her father away at war.
Signature Style: The song ends with Hanshaw's trademark sign-off phrase, "That's all," which she used to conclude her recordings.
