'Tis the Season!

 I am still in the throes of decorating and preparing for Christmas and it looks like I will need to start even earlier next year!


Still, we made it to Harrison's hockey game Sunday morning.
As always, it was good to see Amber and catch up on all the Bell's activities.


This is what the stack of waffles looked like when she made breakfast for dinner the other night and this was AFTER a few layers had already disappeared!


I'm still addressing Christmas cards and hope to have them all in the mail by the end of the week.
Normally, I write a personal message as well, but this year I don't know if that will happen or not.
Due to my arthritic hands and time flying so fast I can't keep up - I may just send the cards.

Louis Dean is holding up and his shoulder sometimes hurts and other times not.

Sherry joined Ilene and me in a movie night Sunday after the Stars hockey game - which was so exciting as the Stars won in a shoot out!


This was a good one and could certainly relate to it from previous years and it had a good ending!

I'll be meeting Jesse on Wednesday to purchase a new laptop so I may not post another journal entry until I'm set up on that.
Louis Dean has been such a good sport in letting me use his, but he is getting antsy, so I'm returning it to him as soon as I close this post.

Hi Linda... I don't know how you do all that you do. Your plate is pretty full. Hope the soccer game resulted in a big Win. If you don't mind, could you send me your address (again). I'm blaming it on the computer for me losing all of my addresses. apollard53@gmail.com

I am with Shug - I have no idea how you do it all - but you do - do it well.

I’m with them! You are amazing to accomplish all that you do. Remember to take care of yourself too because “ you can’t pour from an empty cup.” Sending you all only the very best!

I cannot imagine how long it took Amber to make all those waffles!!! I want details on the new computer when you get it all set up. Laptop? Brand? Screen size?

Have you a brand of computer in mind? I hope you will like what you get!

I like all the Christmas balls hanging down...don't know whether you painted it or not.
I hope you and Louis Dean are well and will get his shoulder in shape before Christmas. It'll soon be here! Love you- Trudy

That is a big stack of waffles.
I hear you on starting earlier next year. It seems to be taking me much longer this year to get the decorating done.

As always Linda your light is shining for all of us. Belinda

You are doing so much! This is really the busiest month of the year.
I hope you like your new laptop. I need one, too. Happy Holidays! :)

I plan to start my cards today! I've already got several in the mail. Seems like every year I get less of them. Enjoy all the Christmas festivities with your family. A new computer is always a welcome thing! Enjoy!

Linda I love your closing painting. It is both interesting and beautiful. I will assume it is one your working on. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
