Good morning, all! One more week and the Christmas 'hype' is over! YIPPEE! I believe the expression is "bah, humbug"? For once, I had all my shopping done a loooong time ago! Now, if I want 'hustle and bustle', I can go walk around the stores and watch the buying frenzy and listen to Christmas music and Salvation Army bells.... No pressure! :)
Winter has finally arrived in Florida! :) Cool nites and notsohot days. We've even had to put on jackets a few mornings! Keith had to wear his jacket all morning on the dozer the other day!
Life has settled into a routine, and I've been able to find and re-organize all the stuff I crammed into any vacant space before we left Illinois! It's nice to be able to find things again! Heck, I found stuff that I hadn't seen since we moved into the new trailer in May! :)
So, I still can't adapt to spending the Holidays without "family". Christmas had become fun again, once we got Connor--and now there's Dawn, too. Granted, she will be clueless about THIS Christmas, but Connor is at such a fun age...and slipping fast toward that gangly, pre-teen period! Hopefully, this will be the last year we have to be far away during the Holidays.... But hey! I got to be the grandma who sent the big box of Christmas goodies in the mail! I remember how cool that was when I was a kid--after all, ya don't have save the packages until Christmas morning! Or, at least, that's how *I* see it.....
Okay, I'm blathering. I'll quit. Just wanted to check in and say howdee.
