CONGRATULATIONS to all the lucky winners of our Grand Gala Giveaway!! We are so grateful for your participation and support for the past 100 weeks and look forward to another 100 with you all. LET'S KEEP ROCKIN!  

Welcome to Monday's Music Moves Me!!! We want to make this one of the BEST meme's in all of Blogville, but we cannot do that without YOU.... so come share your music with us and bring your friends to share theirs with us, too!!

Running this little dance party of ours is the sweetest and most wonderful Marie of XmasDolly. The cohosts helping to keep the party rockin' and rollin' are three absolutely fabulous women, who I love to call my friends: Callie of JamericanSpice, Stacy of Stacy Uncorked, and  Cathy of Cathy Kennedy's Blog.  Plus because life gets to be so hectic at times, we occasionally have one of our faithful followers/participants help us with our cohosting duties. This month, we have Danielle of Royalegacy helping us out, so don't forget to go visit her and follow her blog also!

Normally I am also a cohost on this magnificent meme, but my back and neck have been giving me much more difficulty over the last month and I fell last week, causing me even greater pain and the ability to spend less time on the computer. Soooo, I am going to take the month of August off from my hosting duties while I try and recuperate. I will still post the weekly theme and the linky and will do my best to visit as many of you as I can with the time I can spend on the computer.

I do hope you will continue to support the meme, follow the other ladies, and rock your hearts out every week... I know that some Mondays it really is the only thing that gets me going.  =)

So, this week the theme is FREEBIE; and you get to pick any song your hear desires. I cannot wait to see what you post...... Have a great week and keep on rockin!!

***Just one more note,

please keep your songs PG - this is a family blog.

If you do have one song that has some questionable lyrics or content,

PLEASE put a disclaimer BEFORE the video

so my readers can make an informed decision

 as to whether they wish to view it or not.

Thank you!***

Outside Christmas Decorations

OK, as promised, I am sharing our decorations from the outside of our house that my loving husband worked so tirelessly on! He did most of these all by himself, I helped a little - not much though as I have spinal trouble: stenosis and arthritis. Even Nano got into the Christmas spirit and helped with the decorating.

If you'll notice, a lot of our decorations have a similar theme... Yeah, we LOVE Disney. The red lamp you see on the porch belonged to Bill's family since he was a little boy, so that is one that we will keep forever. Bill has repainted it a couple times and lovingly wrapped up the wire so as not to ruin it. It is really special to us.

Hope you all had a very happy Christmas and have a wonderful and healthy 2010!

Until next time..... Lorie
