Just peachy

Everything went just PEACHY yesterday with my procedure.  I got a good report, was all the doc told Dick.  Guess he didn’t want to tell Dick how cute my colon looked!  Beautiful snowflakes were falling on us all the way to the hospital, making everything  a pristine white for our ride home.  I can see a few spots left up in the woods and on the carport roof, which makes for a perfect snow, in my humble opinion…here today; gone tomorrow!

I wound up sleeping all afternoon, so I need to kick it up into high gear today and get a few things done.  Boy howdy is it cold this morning—20.  I’m staying inside till lunch time.  Brrr…come on, sunshine.  Warm us up!

The plan for today is to get out our small fiber optic tree and a few other decorations and call it DONE.  Everything has to be put away by 12/29, and I want to actually MAKE some gifts, so that is taking priority over decorating this year.  Period.

Everything in life is a balance, right?  And setting priorities.  There will be no Christmas stress allowed around here!  No sirree.

Stay well, warm, and stress free, y’all!  Life is good…

Monday stuff...

I sure hope I'll hear these sweet words this morning.

To the over-50 crowd:  Got yours yet???

Let it snow...

And so it is.  Light flurries are gently falling outside, and I am watching the wind swirl around those first beginnings on the rooftop of the carport.  I don't think we'll have much accumulation, but we are in for a very cold week ahead.  Brr...

Please join me in wishing Sarge a very happy birthday today, and have a piece of cake with me.  That Sarge is a mighty special fella.

Stay warm, and enjoy your Sunday, y'all!

Sistas, food, friends, wine…

First, our local BSP chapter is hosting the annual NE Georgia Council Christmas luncheon today at a local restaurant.  We expect around 60 sistas to attend.  We are a loud, loving group.  And talkative.  Some of these gals we only see once or twice a year, so we have lots of catching up to do.  And hugging.  You might want to avoid Young Harris, if you are seeking a  peaceful, quiet lunch. 

And later is the annual Advent Wine Tasting event, women only, mostly from our parish, but others are also included.  Everyone brings a bottle of ‘cheap’ wine for a fun tasting and rating.  And lots of good food.

Make the most of your Saturday.  Wish you were here!

 

 

Friday stuff

This is the way Scooter acted after his nap here yesterday, poor guy.  He has big brother’s fever.   Big brother is now better.  Macey has also been feverish this week, and now Haley has it.  Sheesh.  No strep or flu, but ‘bugs’ are definitely going around.  I am washing my hands a bazillion times a day.  Germs, begone!

Project galore around here—Christmas list checking, decorations (not doing a lot this year), gift making—the list is LONG. 

Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet (I know smart Empress Bee already has finished hers.)?

And a major cold front is moving our way.

Please send hot chocolate instead!

Frosty morning in Paradise

It is 25 outside. Florida is 28 days away. Yikes! Brrr...

December. Already?

Yes, it is…and we had a few snow flurries here at the house this morning.  December arrived with a chilly blast, y’all!  The mountains are all coated with that white stuff, but we only had ice on the deck, thanks to yesterday’s rain.  At least the sun is out and the ice has now melted.

Brrr…29 days until we leave for Florida!
