I am finally on here. I lurk every day but not much to talk about. I have decoded not to sell my home. Everything has gone through the roof in price and no reason for me to leave my beautiful home. I had the three very large sumac trees removed and cut out about 80 percent of clean-up in the garden. This will change the complete climate of the garden and I will need to get educated on that. I am still cleaning out the house but that could go on for years.

My daughter\'s 3 sons came over last week and unpacked all of my Christmas decorations. And then put the boxes back. Only took them 2 hours. It would have taken me days. I had a blast going through each item and memories kept flooding back.

My granddaughter and great granddaughter are in town until the end of the year. He husband is also with them. She works for Adobe from home an he is studying for medical first year finals so they locked up their condo and headed West. My DD, GD and GGD came over this evening and walked the dogs with me.

My house keeper was here all day and my home looks marvelous. My backyard backs on the greenbelt and right behind my house is the tot lot with swings and equipment for the little ones to play on. I have a weeping mulberry tree which is perfect to decorate for the kids and then right behind the tree is the raised fire pit. Another place to place Christmas and holiday decorations.

Betty, my mother\'s house flooded all the time and my bothers dug a trench around the house and diverted the water. They also asked the county to divert the water higher up in her area. Told them if they said no, I was going to sue them. I guess I am the big bad wolf. Maybe they need to increase the size of the drainage pipe.

I love your truck. I saw some plates in Michael\'s that had the same design. It was in their flier.

My son, his wife and son got Covid but were not very sick. He\'s a doctor so they think he got it at work and brought it home. My daughter\'s mother-in-law died 2 weeks ago from an aneurysm. So my her youngest son, 17, texts me every night to make sure I am OK. I am the last grandma. She was 85.

I have many coleus cutting in my garage. The majority re rooted. Next step is to plant them in pest moss and perlite. After this part is where I usually fail. Wish me luck.

Karen, I am so pleased you are able to go to your grandson\'s wedding.

This was Boots yesterday checking out some of the decorations for the tot lot.

I am watching The Crown. At the par where they are going into the falcon islands.
