On a Personal Note

I just returned from a three-day trip with my husband to visit his family for Thanksgiving.  I am grateful that we had clear roads on the way out and our return trip.  Some of you prayed for that…thank you!  It did snow about 8 inches between Wednesday night and Thanksgiving Day while we were there, but we had very little driving to do then.  Though I am not a fan of driving in snow, it was a beautiful sight as all the trees looked as if they had been frosted with fluffy cotton candy.

As I was finishing up this post I wanted to begin with some Christmas ideas….I have several from last year that I took photos of but never posted.  As I went from one to the other I realized that I am tired.  The energizer bunny’s batteries must have lost their charge. [wink]  I guess, I’ll just have to share those with you at another time.

Are in the midst of decorating for Christmas, are just thinking about it, or are you all finished?  Last night I helped my friend a little bit…it was nice to play.  And I might even share it with you later.

So tell me…what good things have made your week?

 

Wishing you an Extraordinary weekend!

    8 inches of snow….oy…. I’m good with just two, tyvm. LOL Welcome to winter! (well, almost…..)

    Definitely a busy week with a lot of going and doing–and on top of that you’re posting nearly every day. I’m good with ya being tired and needing a bit of rest and rejuvenating. Good grief, who wouldn’t need some of that.

    Yes, we’re in the midst of decorating. Seems every day I come home to another bit that’s been transformed. Interestingly enough, that which needs to be ‘moved’ to make room for the festive decorations….finds its way to the bedroom. LOL Which is a total disaster at this moment–which leads me to today’s project……finding the floor AND getting some prezzies wrapped.
    I like the second task better! 😉

      Haha!! I’m not a fan of 8 inches either. But, we only needed to drive a few miles between Wednesday night and Thursday night and on Friday all the roads were wet or dry. Yay!! The highway drive, bookending our trip was dry almost all the way. WooHoo!! I must say it was incredibly beautiful to look at snow on the evergreens, though.
      We’ll see if I get back on that schedule….I doubt it as I’m doing a wee bit of struggling with Christmas and my role in it this year.

      Yay for decorating!! And for a room to stash the stuff that needs to be ‘moved.’ 😀 Okay…maybe it’s not so cool to have to organize and find a place for that stuff. But….presents…already….you go girl!!! How fun!
