Morning all,

Lordy it's been a hectic week, just this morning am I able to feel like my energetic self...

Had days mixed with nights, worked a god 20 hrs. a day for seems like ions...last night 6:30 to bed, slept like a babe until 5:00 ...now here I am...wanting to gab with you all...

"M" so pleased that Lorna is now home with you..changes your schedule somewhat but am sure you feel better caring for her with shortages in our health system (hospitals almost need a family member on hand for the day to day care)..sending her hugs....

Cindy, this thread IS for all who need each each other..for those just wanting to drop in with a hi ... so glad you dropped in...don't worry, this room is filled with friends....
no need to be lonely!

Brrr it is cold outside, bright and sunny though...talk about summer like weather we had the past while...with each day of sunshine we shorten the winter don't we...did this morning scrape the car windows...teaching a class Sat. morning and needed some vine and red branches for the arrangment so stopped on the side of the road, cut a bunch and started to laugh at my falling almost shoulder deep in a ditch that was hidden by a snowfall..blizzard of a day..just thought I'd perish..lol..and here I am again, in the same bushlot...I simply don't learn now do I...

Last weekend was in Buffalo and Hamburg for the weekend...mom told me her knee was doing poorly, after her slight stroke says she tires easily...omg, had trouble keeping up with her...lol..

Both enjoyed the 450 vendor craft sale in Hamburg N.Y...think mom was more enthused that there was a casino next door..nope, she didn't win!

I did purchase several Christmas gifts and debated on one for me...a craft item for outside deck..don't know why we will spend out $$$ for everyone else but when it comes to getting something for us we himmmm and hawwww...do you do this too? anyway, did purchase it..

With taking Friday off we were able to put in our 48 hrs. on USA side, got home just around 11am...Greg and a friend were shrink wrapping the Foxy Lady...both wearing short sleeve shirts..last year when they did it there was a blizzard, so, without taking my goodies out of the vehicle I proceeded to get boxes from back storage shed and started to hand Christmas lights, decorations and trees out front..even had my Christmas music going..think both of the boys thought I had lost it...I'm sure when they are putting out same in a blizzard and freezing they'll wonder why didn't they do it same day I took it on...rest assured I'll remind them...lol

Tuesday night I drove up after work to MacTier to teach an Iris Folding Christmas Card class for 22 participants...lots of prep work (think that's why I wasn't sleeping) all enjoyed ...

So funny, yesterday I fell asleep at my desk and photo's were taken..ooops, surely can't ask for a raise and saying I'm overworked can I? just kidding, lucky to work 1/2 hr. a day...

Some family trauma going on..worse case scenerio so this morning here in the office I'm babysitting my grand niece in order to keep her safe...I'll share the story later...

Well best go entertain her..lol
