I had an awesome day/night!
Spent the day decorating while watching several Rankin Bass shows (Rudolph and Santa Claus is coming to town), It's a Wonderful Life and Elf. Headed to the airport for my MIL. Made record time. LOLI checked the Southwest app at 8:20pm. Said her landing time was still 9:50. Left my house at 8:30. Getting gas and at 8:45 check again just to make sure. Updated arrival time 9:25. WHAT??? It's a :50 minute drive to Tampa Intl from my house. I was at the gas station 5 minutes from it. LOL Did you know a Toyota Tundra quad cab can do mach 2? Evidently it can. Cool beans. :-D

I have just came back from a little morning jog/walk. I must say it is really nice outside when everybody else is still sleeping. It is very quiet and peaceful, and the air is truly fresh without all that noise and traffic. ^^ I haven't done much exam revision in the last couple of days so I am seriously digging into it today. :]
Have a lovely day everyone, and best wishes!

***** CHRISTMAS SEASON DAY 29 *****
Good Morning, Everyone!
Wow.
Four weeks of Christmas Season 2013 now complete and behind us.
But what's ahead?
This:
Days to Christmas Day: 14 (Two. Count 'em. TWO weeks from today!)
(And with 50 weeks under our belts, those last 2 should be a piece of cake, right?)
Not quite as cold yesterday but just as overcast and wet.
Should be sunny today and on through Friday before a cold rain greets us just in time for the weekend.
We are at a chattery 26 degrees here in the capital city at this hour.
Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Friends!
See you at the 'Pines this evening as Carl gets more and more worked up about the approaching big day.
{{ Now, Christmas falls on Wednesday this year but kindly Carl has moved the weekly open house back to Tuesday so the staff can be off on Christmas. (Said he wasn't going to do to his people what other merchants did to theirs on Thanksgiving Day!)
But I'll bet Christmas Eve will be a hum-dinger! }}

I loved that one! Tried to share it the other day but this site would not let me in! What a wonderful thing for West Jet to do!
Christmas tea or spiced eggnog
Good morning!
Everyone is off to school and work. I straightened up the house, started laundry, walked the dogs and have taco soup in the crock pot for dinner. I'm heading out to do some more shopping. I started shopping way too late this year. Now I'm running around like a lunatic every day, lol.
See you later!
Have a great day!!!

We are no longer green here ! You cannot see it clearly because the flakes are so fine, but it is snowing
It is coming down fast with 5 to 10 cm in 12 hour period ( 2 to 4 inches) !
My Christmas lights are getting burried

Good morning all!!
I'm buying my first Christmas gift today. LOL I'm so excited! I make most of my gifts whether they're baked, engraved, cooked, crocheted, knitted, crocheted, painted or carved, but some I do still buy. Especially when its something someone has specifically said at some point in the year, "Gosh I would really like to have that one day!"
I'm making myself a gift this year... something kinda weird I've never done before. LOL My grandparents' house in Pittsburgh was my favorite place on Earth. My grandather, my best friend. My uncle tells me in the 50s they bought some chestnuts to roast one day and while sitting at the table my grandfather absently stuck one down in the dirt of the potted flower on the bay window of the breakfast nook. It sprouted. LOL He transplanted it to the back yard.
Now all I remember of that tree was it being the best climbing, shade, reading tree I ever saw. I have no memory of it being a sappling. Years after my grandparents passed away the house sold which broke my heart because I had always hoped to convince my husband to move there. I found out whonthrbnew owners were and contacted them to find out if it would be possible to get one of the chutes that always sprouted in the yard from the chestnut tree my GF had planted. It was a year before I heard from them which I wad told how sorry they were to tell me they'd had the tree cut down and removed.
One day I got an email from the home owner telling me he was sending me something. A few days later a very heavy box arrived containing thick cords of wood. In the box was a note that read, "We had the tree cut down and my father took all the wood to his cabin in upper NY. He had these pieces left of it that hadn't made it to the fireplace yet. I drove up there and got them for you. From what the neighbors told me of your grandfather he was very creative. I'm hoping you got some of that and can make something of these. I'm sorry it's the best I could do."
I could not believe the kindness of that man to have even considered that.
Sooo... my gift to myself - I'm making a large hand carved collage frame with inlays of celtic knot work because my father's side is Irish. The frame will house my favorite photos and lithographs of that side of my family including my son. Hence... my version of my family tree on my dad's side. LOL I really hope I don't mess it up. LOL
LOL Sorry, I'm excited about it. I didn't mean to post another novel.
Hope everyone has a blessed day!!
