Still Here!

 Hi, all!  Still here! Still removing from the Thanksgiving plague although I think now it has just morphed into miserable allergies what with the mountain cedar and all — I can handle that!  

Just been getting some stuff done == a little decluttering, a little mailing, a lot of reading - yep, our weather has been nice but it has turned nasty now and all it is good for is a nice cuppa and a good book.

I have finished the first three books in the Weezy and BeBe series and am starting on the fourth — well, already started last night.  So far it is engaging and with our drizzly, cold day all I want to do is finish it!  Today!

I wish I could get in the Christmas spirit but alas, it is alluding me.  I think now that the kids are all big and into their own things it sort of dampens the excitement of it all but I will be feeling it on Christmas Eve when we head to church and back home for our traditional Mexican dinner.

Our youth group received donations from the congregation and went shopping for toys for donation.  They had a great time and then, Wednesday night, they took the toys to the drop off place and then went to dinner at In And Out.  They had a wonderful time.  It might be a small group of kids but they are certainly getting busy with their community service and their fun activities.

So, that is about it for now —I have been up since 5 a.m. thanks to Miss Trixie so I am already dozing and it is only 8 a.m.  Ha!  However, my daughter’s car is in the shop so we have already been on school drop off for her and Bean! Thanks goodness Christmas vacay starts today!

Have a great weekend!
