Good morning, it is freezing out there this morning. We kept losing power through the evening and night....it must be Winter.

I was going to Gingers for Thanksgiving but their dads house sold, all cash, no inspection, so she's coming here today so she and Shelley can get it totally cleaned out. I was able to change my flight plans and now I'm going in December. We've had some chilly mornings but jasmine is blooming here and I have a cone flower that just won't quit.

So are YOU having Thanksgiving, Sheri?
I have never made Thanksgiving for just the 2 of us..so this will be an experience.

Happy Turkey Day gals. Enjoy the girls being with you for a bit Bestofour, I vote a restaurant for the days meal. Junie, you and DH should do the same.  I have to wrap Christmas gifts today, GG is trying her best to 'dig' at things....I should have bought a 'gag' gift for her.

Gag gifts...yep..one year when I wanted a curio cabinet..Rod gave me a brown paper bag for Christmas. I assumed he thought it cute to put a gift certificate in it saying I should go pick out my cabinet..well no. He put a school house bird feeder in it ( I was a teacher's aide then). He laughed and laughed..I was livid as he failed to add the note saying I could go get my curio. Which it turns out he meant for me to do...
When I was young, I would search the house go thru the gifts mom had bought, before she wrapped them...gee I was rotten.

You naughty gal. I wasn't much to sneak for my gifts, I never got what I wanted anyway...not in a bad way though in my mother's mind. I'd ask for something simple and my mother instead would buy me some outlandish gift that I never wanted. I still am upset to this day that I never got my Lite Brite that I asked Santa for.....he brought me a television instead. I was so upset that I cried for days. Too funny about the paper bag...not at the time though, I am sure. Have you ever gave him a 'gag' gift in turn?? DH and I have had Christmas's where we had no gifts for each other, those were the lean times....there'll be plenty more of those holidays for many with this economy. Gifts are wrapped....and I'll hide them at my mothers if need be.

Ah yes. Your mother's house..That is a good hiding place...I should have thought of that back in the day when the kids were small.
Glad that you have your gifts wrapped. I am just finding boxes for those that need them. Emily did send me a note saying that the kids Christmas lists were on Amazon..so that is good.

Amazon? That is a great idea. That way you can send it directly there and save the shipping costs.

Yep..it is..AND Emily saves the bags one can buy for gift wrap, and she just drops my gifts into them. We neither have to pay for wrapping then..well not anymore.. once we bought them once.
I do send a few out that I wrapped here..that way it saves her some.

Yes, I cooked Thanksgiving dinner and we ate dinner here. Was a nice day and the weather was nice too. Rained over 1/2 inch during the night. We need it so I'm not complaining.

Did all the family come home with your girls Bestofour?
I can send snow if you want some moisture....we only got about 4 inches with this storm so it isn't bad, this time around.

'only" 4 inches....ok then...that to me is plenty.
But at this point moisture is moisture I guess.

Yes, the whole gang was here. Ginger won't be coming home for Christmas though. I'll go there the 13th through the 18th so I can see Colt's Christmas play and then her inlaws will show up at her house on Christmas Eve so Colt won't be here with us. I can barely stand it.
My decorating is done except for putting garland on the stair rail. I've even wrapped 2 presents!!!

I am glad that you had family for Thanksgiving but I am sorry about your Christmas plans not working out.  You are ahead Bestofour. I did put up the outdoor lights so it is a start...we only go for our tree into the first week of December.

Sounds like you are moving right along, Sheri. Good for you. I have a chair and table moved out of the living room, my shelves that I keep seasonally decorated cleaned off and my doilies cleaned off. I hope to decorate today.
Then next will be going down and wrapping my grands Christmas ornaments and getting them in the mail.
Sunny, hey..that is a start.. After all we have to start somewhere

Ah yes, but it is still fun to have them decorate, that is a wonderful memory that you will have for many years. That makes me smile.
That is also the type of thing that they will remember.

I do hope they remember it and continue the tradition, so they can put up with the same fighting that I put up with when they have kids and grands. I just mopped the house, time to sit for a few while it dries.

The kids got to take their ornaments home tonight. Poor Nora thought her little box was her entire Christmas gift.. She even followed me down into the basement to ask when she could open her box.
This flu just will not go away..I felt good yesterday..today I feel crappy again...yet, no fever..ya gotta wonder....and yes. It is the flu..I have been tested.

It rained all day and night here as well, now it is freezing up. They are having a Christmas celebration at the local church today with Santa visiting for the kids but we won't be attending. You'd need skates just to get out of my driveway.

Well we will see if it actually rains here next week.
And if it does. It had better NOT ice. I hate when it does that. It is so much fun just getting out of
our driveway when it does that.
Sorry about the Christmas program Sunny. But better to be safe.
I would be doing the same.

That is a splendid idea. I would have appreciated that. Much better than waiting in line forever. Good for you.
Good morning. Raining here.

A tornado touched down 11 miles from here last night. Colt’s school was closed today due to no power. Ginger didn’t have any damage.

I am the opposite. I am going to enjoy all the food and treats while I wait for my blood work....they still have not called with my appointment. It is calling for a three day storm here starting today....on top of the one that fell through the night. It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Colt is 11. It was cold but sunny here today and I think that's what we're gonna have for the next few days. It's nice. We've already had all our school programs and concerts here Sunny. Hope yours went ok this morning. I got a Christmas card from dodge.

Very cold here and going to be colder the next 2 days. I am hoping it straightens up for Christmas Eve.
I too got a card from Dodge.
Colt is 11? Put a brick on that boys head. How did he get so old already?

I hope Dodge is doing well.

Good morning. The sun is shining and it is the calm before the storm....I would not want to have to go out shopping today, the malls are going to be crazy.
GG has a basketball game at her school at suppertime, it will be nice to watch her play.

It is the calm before the storm here as well. It is overcast and 42*F. By tonight it will be rain turning to snow and then well below 0*F with at least 25 mph winds..and wind chills around -14. And with the rain & snow roads will be bad..plus the snow will be so heavy there will be white outs...good news is the snow will be short lived..."they" are predicting only about 3 inches..
Me & mine will be staying indoors.
Valarie went to buy herself a coffee at the local shop this morning and found a completely made from scratch coconut cream pie, so she brought it to her daddy. The look on Rhonda's face said it all..she was looking for the kids.

I was just watching the news and they said that parts of the United States will see the coldest Christmas Day ever. I hope it does not hit any of you. Junie, three inches is a lot for places that are not used to driving in snow. So the puppy is liking the grands? I hope it would end up that way. Tell Rod to share his pie.

He would share..I had a very small piece so I could say I had some.. the whole pie was made from scratch. Very yummy. Indeed.
Rhonda thinks the kids are hers..that or she at very least does not want them taken away when they are here.....and that is what Valarie does 5 nights a week. She does not like Valarie much because of that.

I am sooo thankful for a roof over my head and heat. We're having several very cold and windy days but thankfully we're supposed to be dry. I think we've caught up on our rainfall.
I made chocolate oatmeal peanut butter cookies today. They're Darbi's favorite. Tomorrow I'll make a chocolate pie for Tracy and when the gang gets her tomorrow night Colby and I will make brownies (his favorite and best right out of the oven over vanilla ice cream). By the way, did I mention Darbi got engaged the other day?
