Thanksgiving has come and gone again. I was blessed to spend it with the parents of my dear friend Sherry. They have adopted me... thank you! Sherry's father reminds me of my own in many ways... only shorter and with a southern accent. Of course, if you trade the southern accent with my dad's farmboy speech... I think its an even trade. lol It was a good day all around... I only wish I knew I was getting sick...I feel bad that I now have a full blown cold and have exposed them all! Sorry.
No Black Friday early morning shopping for me! I went home Thursday night and put up my tree. Its an improvement over last year when I didn't put up one at all since I was on the road for work and then leaving for Utah. This year, I am forcing myself to be in the Christmas mood! fortunately I don't have to force much. I put up my nativity... my beautiful Jim Shore nativity! (he has a new one now... does a woman need more than one nativity????) Tree decorating coupled with sewing on XXXXXX's present kept me late so I slept till 9:30ish... went out around 11... and while I did not have a long list with which to guide my purchases, I was out for almost 8 hours! I'm still not sure what I was doing. (the gold ornament is a family heirloom... I am the 4th generation to possess it)
Saturday, a lovely day trip into Pennsylvania. With my friend Laura (another link through Sherry and her family) we did some driving around beautiful rolling countryside... saw my first Amish buggy in transit. Lots of shopping with reasonable "buying". And by the end of the evening...full blown feeling-like-crap head cold. Ugh! Vegged all day Sunday... showered but did not do my hair OR makeup (I KNOW! I was THAT sick!) and lounged about it jammies.
17 days before I head to Utah for Christmas! Oy... I still have lots to do! Yikes!

considering that your DAUGHTER doesn't even have ONE nativity set, I don't think that you need another one.
We haven't even gotten our tree up. You are so together, woman! :)
And I adore the new digs. Beautiful!!
