Ohhh hello there 'tubby' ..no snow here, extremely cold, maybe flurries although light for next few days..wonderful for travelling..hope you enjoy and don't overdo...does Shirley have some time at home over the holidays?

Wow, been quite a day and not over yet...that's what you get when you are up during the middle of the night..lol..

Vacuumed/dusted upstairs and downstairs, at Walmart and Home Depot..although I bought 3 or 4 more gifts, still sweaters needed for the boys, that's tomorrow though..did groceries and got home and it was 8:15am..shaking my head here..girls and George started to arrive around 9am so just had time to put groceries away and came downstairs...

Nice bunch..all enjoyed the Christmas luncheon..they've just left, I've a few chores, mostly clean-up and the afternoon to myself..should really drive into Midland and Penetang but seeing as I'm delivering gifts tomorrow in same places I'll just make 1 trip..

We were suppose to make little gift, only George because of having a stroke recently couldn't..he was just too cute..he's 82..when it came time for us to open his gift to us, he explained what the gift was...omg, wasn't that at all, his wife had gone out and purchased flameless candles for us all..simply blow and it come on, blow again and out it goes....the look on his face to see us all open it and it wasn't what he thought he was giving..too funny...

I got so many wonderful pressies..I especially like the containers full of homemade sweets..was going out to purchase a tray but now I'll not need to..

Not sure if I told you all while sewing the other night I stepped on a needle, talk about pain, fell backwards, hit my right arm on the stove, it's black and blue and purple..lol.. protected my fall with my right hand..guess carrying all those bags of groceries and working it has cause great pain..can barely use my wrist..perhaps I sprained it after all...

Who knows, might run into town and purchase a tensor glove or wrap to tighten it up...that ought to slow me down...

OK..drum roll please....

Bernie just called, his lawyer called and said that the insurance called and offered a settlement, not near as much as he wanted, sent back the offer and now we'll see...think he wanted $450K and they offered $300 so he sent back offer 1/2 the difference...prayers please..wouldn't it be nice to settle this year and before court case starts Jan.16th... what a Christmas that would be...
