It’s Time to Pull Up a Seat on Santa’s Knee (or Lap)

Last evening our Town of Cramerton held its annual Christmas parade which we were able to enjoy as a family. The Town came out in droves to watch the Parade with the many cars, floats, marching bands, and cheer squads. Parades are fascinating and exciting for the children and adults alike to watch and anticipate. I bet you can guess which part of the parade everyone likes to see the most (especially the children). Yep, you guessed (I least I believe y’all did). Santa Claus arrival at the end of the parade on a shiny red fire engine (at least in our town that’s what he arrives on).

After the Parade is over the children and their families gather at Confluence to await once again for Santa’s arrival. Why do the children excitedly wait with anticipation for Santa at Confluence? Well, of course it for the opportunity to be photographed with Santa and Mrs. Claus.

Here are a few shots of Coleman with Santa … more will come later when the Catawba Riverkeepers Foundation sends the link for our free photos. Until then you’ll need to. E satisfied with the ones I captured.

*Uh oh, it seems like Coleman’s*
*not sure where to sit.*

*Alright, this spot*
*might just be fine.*

*Hey Gramdma,*
*should I be looking at*
*you or the camera?*

*Grandma, did you get*
*my picture all right?*
*Am I done now?*

Pull Up a Seat on a Jude’s Bench or Two+

On Thanksgiving, my grandson, (Coleman) and I were joined by his mom for a lovely chilly afternoon. After devouring a delicious Turkey dinner (except for Coleman-He doesn’t like meat), my daughter (Trisha) drove us to a quaint park on the edge of Lake Norman called Ramsey Creek Park. At first, Coleman and I were not sure if his mom was going to join us hiking around the park.

Coleman and I started out walking by ourselves walking along the waters edges absorbing all the beautiful scenery. After a while, his mom joined us whilst he was picking up small seashells from the sandy seashore.

We noticed several Benches throughout our time walking around; from park benches to picnic tables and benches, they were scattered all around the park for visitors to relax and enjoy.

Here are some of the views and Benches we encountered …

Coleman’s “Porch” Seating Scares His Mom

Pull Up a Seat

for

Six Word Saturday

In the afternoons Coleman enjoys being outdoors and often Pulls Up a Seat on our Home’s Porch railing which would scare his mom half to death if she was at Home. Luckily for him when he chooses to Pull Up a Seat like in the images below his mom is at work and NOT at Home. This week’s post is also being linked with Debbie’s Six Word Saturday and One Word Sunday Challenges.

2025 Pull Up a Seat (In a Waiting Room)

In a medical center waiting room while we wait for Coleman’s mom to finish with her appointment.

The Waiting room seating was minimal, but sufficient for daily needs.

It turned out she had to schedule an appointment with a different doctor. The one she was scheduled to see was not available. Her new appointment will be next week while Coleman is in school, so we will not be accompanying her.

Seating near the Post Office

For the past two weeks (since Thanksgiving) I haven’t been able to get out and capture any scenery around me. Coleman and I have been sick with a bacterial infection consisting of chest congestion and a really bad cough. Over the counter medicine was not working for him so we finally took him to the doctor who prescribed an antibiotic. Hopefully all will be better soon.

We’ve been having issues in our townhome with pests and so today we bombed our place. (The pest controls the complex uses does not work!) So, we took it upon ourselves to try to remedy the problem. With bombing the place, we needed to get out of the place for a few hours, therefore we decided to go for a drive.

Driving around down in the Clover area, I noticed this table and seating outside the Clover Post Office and located near the drop off area. I have never seen seating outside of a post office before. My daughter obliged me to stop the vehicle a moment so I could snap a photo of the unusual (to me anyway) seating at the post office.
