Holiday

Merry Christmas everyone.  I hope it's great!

Thanksgiving

Did you have a good Thanksgiving?

We did.  We went to my brother's and brought leftovers home lol.

When we got up in the morning there was a small amount of snow.  Throughout the day there were light flurries.  When we left to go home from brother's and got on the freeway, it was pretty scarey, part of the way it was white out conditions.  By the time we got closer to home, it had stopped.

The heavier snow finally came to our neighborhood when we got home, ha!  I fell asleep around 9 until I heard the next door neighbor snow-blowing passed the bedroom window.  So much for sleeping.

We've had quite the amount of snow for November, not as bad as some though (thank goodness).  It gives me a foreboding of winter.  

Halloween

I always think I miss when my son was little taking him out for Halloween.  Then you have a day like last night and I remember how much I don't miss it, HA...

It was rainy and cold.  The poor parents with their umbrellas. 

The weather people even suggested there might be some sleet, but it didn't happen.

I remember in 1993, our son was 11 and we had snow.  That year hippie took him and his friends, lol.

I did miss not being able to sit on the front steps and handing out the candy, having to hunker down in the house.  Maybe next year will be better.  

White Christmas??

All of our snow melted this past week.  I couldn't believe it.  I thought we wouldn't have a white Christmas.  However, looks like we might have a little bit.

My brother and his wife are coming tomorrow.  I'm cooking and getting ready for that.  Luckily, the house cleaner came Saturday so there is not much to clean.  Merry Christmas to me, lol.

I know some people have a hard time at Christmas when things aren't going right.  So....

HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Halloween

It was a pretty frightful night.  Windy, rainy but not too cold.  I was surprised, we probably had around 50 kids show up.  I was glad, not too much candy left for us to eat, ha!!

Christmas in July

It's hard to believe we're six months from Christmas.  Per usual, I have my cards and new calendars ordered and they should be here today or tomorrow.  I'm halfway done with my knitting for Christmas as well.

Yesterday when I went to see Mom, they were doing Christmas in July there too.  I got a candy cane from the activities person, ha.  They were having someone come later in the afternoon to sing Christmas carols.

I know it's early for a lot of people to even start contemplating Christmas but with everything that's happening in this world, it's good to take a break and think of something fun for a change.

Thanksgiving recap

We had a really great time at my brother and sister-in-laws.  Good food and good company.  I hadn't seen my sister-in-laws family for years.  It was good to catch up with them.  I was so stuffed.  I ate more than usual (not good for my weight).  I think it had a lot to do with the fact that we didn't have to cook it, just eat it.  They didn't want us to bring anything but my neighbor behind gave us a pumpkin roll.  We left some here but took the majority of it there.  My brother took mom's dining room set so we were able to use that to eat at.  Also, the buffet.  Mom never really used it to put food on so it looked nice.  I wouldn't mind going there again next year ;0)  We got some leftover turkey which we will probably have tonight. 

We went to see Mom for a little bit yesterday morning before we went to my brother's.  Everyone was in the day room watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.  I asked her today did she have a good Thanksgiving meal.  She said they had turkey, ham, sweet potatoes, corn, beets and pumpkin pie.  I'm pretty sure she was talking about lunch and supper but she said it was all good.

Cards

I spent yesterday and today working on my Christmas cards.  I found some labels from last year on my computer but there was one page missing.  It was only about 10 labels so I made them.  My cards are now done except for licking the envelopes, buying the stamps and putting them on.  Looks like I will probably keep my record of having them done before Thanksgiving ;-)

3 for 1

We went out for dinner for our birthdays last night. On the way, I realized it was Sweetest Day too. We went to an expensive place. Thus, we celebrated three occasions for one price. Ha!!

New Year

What can I say about 2008? other than - IT SUCKED ;-) I can't wait for it to be over.

I hope 2009 is a better year for me and a lot of people I know.

Here's wishing everyone a Happy, Healthy, Peaceful and Prosperous New Year!!!

Christmas

I wish I could say that this picture is from my home but it's not. It's my brother-in-law and sister-in-laws home. Don't they have a lovely fireplace. All my Christmas pictures vanished when my hard drive crashed and I had to get Windows re-installed. But anyway,

Have a Merry Christmas.
