TIA = Transient Ischemic Attack - basically a mini stroke. The nurse was coming again this afternoon to check her out, so hopefully all is well. xx
I haven't heard back from the breeder yet if the puppies are still available. Yes, they are adorable!
How was your Sunday off work?? Hope you enjoyed!!
Sounds like you had a great time!!!
I love seeing the signs of the season!!
I noticed a lot more decorations up on my way home from shopping on Saturday. Love it!!
I hope you feel better quick. Sometimes those family gatherings spread the germs...but so worth it!
Have fun working on the gingerbread competition!
Sorry to hear about the job that fell through, but I'm glad you are looking forward to the jolliness!
Hope you find the "perfect" job!Can't go wrong with Full/Fuller House!!!
DD spent the weekend on her first overnight (two nights!) trip without a family member with her---success! She sent several texts about how much she loved & missed us, and I'm treasuring them, because I know that won't last through the teenage years.
I took Mom to a Christmas open house on Saturday. At my parent's house, I put together & fluffed both of the big pre-lit trees & fluffed two small trees. Mom has five trees & loves Christmas! She will decorate the trees over the next few days. When I got home, I wrapped all of DD's gifts while she was away. Only waiting on one more of her gifts to be shipped, then Santa has done his job for our house this year.
I found out today that there won't be a home tour in my hometown this year. I guess people are afraid of strangers roaming around in their home? I don't blame them, but it was fun while it lasted. Mom & I try to cram in all the Christmasy activities together that we can.
Busy holiday week, but so thankful to have my family to spend it with! We live 20 minutes from my parents & 45 minutes from DH's parents, so we don't have far to travel.
Thursday: breakfast with DH's family. Might visit with my parents in the afternoon. If I feel up to it, we'll put the main tree up.
Friday: Taking Mom & DD to Fantasy of Trees, then lunch at Jason's Deli. We've only missed a couple of years since DD was born and she loves the tradition. Once you start something with her, she wants to stick with it! If I feel up to it, more decorating at home.
Saturday: Decorating the rest of the house for Christmas then Old Fashioned Downtown Christmas in my hometown with Mom. This year DH will be playing keyboard for one of the singers, so DD will go with us.
Sunday: church, Thanksgiving lunch with my family, church again
Most years I'm in a hurry to get the decorations up so I can enjoy them. I feel like they should all be up by mid-day on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. If I get the early start on Thanksgiving night, then I won't feel rushed!

I love that you & your mom enjoy so many Christmas traditions together. Enjoy every moment!! My mom use to love Christmas too (maybe not as much as me...) -but now she doesn't find much joy in life anymore at all. So sad!
She did ask me if I was going to decorate her house again this year...OF COURSE!!! It's sad that it has come to the point of having to cancel Christmas home tours. But I agree - can't blame them. Such a fun tradition! Our town has never had one, but there are some towns in the area that still do it.
Funny when you mention tradition - my friend bought the trailer next to us at the lake this past summer. Me & my lake friend (girls) do a lot of Christmas things together. Anyway, my new neighbor friends husband told her on Saturday ~ the lake girls sure do enjoy tradition, don't they?? Ha ha ha! Yep, some things we do, especially at Christmas!
He better get use to it! 
Enjoy all your celebrations & decorating!!
Thank you so much Holiday. I finally heard back, everything is normal. What a relief!
Yum! Oh my goodness, I can’t wait either. So exciting!
That's the best news I've heard all day!!! YIPPEE! So happy for you!
Agree!
Everyone, have a wonderful evening!! Should be a quiet one at our house - that is unless Lucy is a wild girl - LOL. Jim is working late. Let his holiday season begin. I guess I'll have to watch some Christmas on tv - oh darn!
You guys are making me hungry with all your Thanksgiving day meal plans!

@Holiday: praying for your mom and Lucy (love that name) ! {{{HUGS}}}
@HomemakinGirl: thank God all is well! {{{HUGS}}}
Merry Monday!
Hope all is well with everyone! Made cranberry ketchup today ~ yummy stuff. Tomorrow I'm going to the Mennonite store for groceries and am going to check out a thift store a couple of towns over. Usually find a lot of interesting books there and what with winter looking rather cold and miserable out this way, I need to stock up on some reading material.
Be merry!
