Greetings Friends, And happy Monday January 6, 2025. How was your weekend? Mine pretty chill - as in chilly! Temps were scheduled to drop into the 20's Sunday night - and weather man says it's gonna stay this way for at least a week - so I did all the necessary things a homeowner should do:  cover/secure the outside faucets, drip faucets, bring any can't take the brrrr perish plants in or cover those I can't bring in - because they're in the ground - with big sheets and secure their cover ups,  shop for staples at the grocery store so I don't have to get out,  secure lawn furniture and umbrellas, etc ... ya get the picture. Anyway, all is accomplished and I feel good about it.

Monday Greetings, Friends! What did the weekend bring your way besides some last minute shopping? Only 9 days 'til Christmas. Hard to believe! My sister, Jennie, and I had that conversation today. Jen said, "I can't believe Christmas is only 9 days away.  Just yesterday it seems it was Thanksgiving." I agreed.  "When we were kids, Christmas seemed a million days away."  We laughed.

Hello Monday and hello friends! Let's start today with a smile. Have you finished your Thanksgiving market shopping? Or still have a few items on your go-get-list? Me? I don't have to worry about the shopping part as I'm gonna travel and be with my precious family and do a little chip in for my $$ contribution while they do all the shopping leg work.
