Back to Blogging

Well, it seems I took quite a bit of a blogging break! I tried
to write an entry the other day and my poor brain was still just too tired!
We had a wonderful time over the Thanksgiving weekend. My
sister and brother in law came to visit from California. My sister and I were not raised
to be friends but we are now and it is a true blessing. I so enjoyed our visit.
We have done almost all of our Christmas decorating. We have
nativities everywhere. The lighted garlands are up. Creamy white poinsettias
have filled my empty porcelain covered metal pitchers up on top of the kitchen
cupboards, those are mixed in with green plants (golden pothos and peace lily),
and some nativities. We used to buy live poinsettias each year but gave in to
silk last year. Not as pretty but cheaper every year but the first and they
will not succumb to plant diseases right before Christmas and leave big ugly
bare spots in your decorating!!
We are still in the decision making process about whether or
not to put up outside lights this year. They do cause extra expense so we
decided if we put them up, we will only have them on for a short time each
night or maybe for a longer time Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights since that
is when most people go light looking (which I love to do!!).
This weekend we watched Its a Wonderful Life. I really do
not care for this movie. It is such an emotional movie. There are funny parts,
sweet parts, sad parts and the realization that life is wonderful and worth
living is great but still I do not enjoy watching it. Maybe the fact that
George Baileys life is fixed without Jesus even being mentioned. And the
crazy way they have the angels. Hmmm.
Today is reclaim the house day! It kind of looks like a
tornado hit this weekend! lol My sweet husband had to work Saturday so my girls
and I had a sewing/computer day. The machines are still on the kitchen table with
stuff about. Sunday was church and birthday present shopping. I know there were
some other activities in there even though I cannot think of what they were. It
seems we all just set anything and everything down instead of putting it away.
I think we can easily play the put 10 things away as fast as you can game more
than once! And since five of us are home to play
oh my!
Well, off I go to motivate the masses. :)
A TIMER?

Do you have a timer? When we put up Christmas lights -- which we haven't yet -- we use a timer so they just stay on a bit.... and we don't forget and leave them on ALL NIGHT LONG!! ά
Horray -- that you are sewing with your girls. GREAT!
Enjoyed your blog... looking forward to more.

OH -- we haven't put up Chrismtas lights as this house... this is our 3rd Chrismtas season here... we can't figure out how to put them up and where. I think I'm going to put an fake tree out on the front porch with a string of lights - just to add some cheer, until we get on the ball.

I can't stand It's a Wonderful Life. Hate watching it and pray the family doesn't notice the television listings for when it's on. :)
Sounds like...
you have been quite busy!
I am working on getting my house ready for Christmas...it's taking forever!
Have a blessed day!
