Thursday, December 1, 2022 Sunny Cold Breezy 42 Degrees 1:08 p.m.

Contrary to what the computer is telling me, there are a few high white clouds floating around.

Today, is the first of December and 24 days until Christmas. Shopping at the top of the list. Gifts need to be wrapped, packages need to be mailed and cards written, decorating finished up and baking and cooking an on going thing.

The amount of Christmas activities are astounding! Parades, Pageants, Parties, Plays; Bake Sales, Yard Sales, Garage Sales, and Flee Markets to browse through. Every store is having great sales, prices marked up so they can mark then down and say “SALE”. (not all stores). Even car lots are having “Christmas sales” and that is something new, I think. A fun time of the year.

Here, today, I have been artsy crafty and am painting a trinket box for a gift. I am in hopes that it turns out well and can be used for what my idea is. Can’t say what that is as it would be a great clue to who it is intended for. But it is fun doing this and I might try it again. Sierra has sat back and watched me from afar. I think she is afraid I might miss the box and paint her.

Today is quiet with not much in the way of outdoor activities going on. I guess it is to cold for even the dogs to want to go out. It is the winter meteorologic time so guess being cold is Okay. Of course they say it will warm up some next week and added rain most days next week plus a bit of the weekend. So goes life.

I’m not sure if the power pole got in or just what is going on with the “move.” Both Tina and I are ready to help when the time comes. I know that Dottie is more then ready as is Tammy and Jerry. It has been a hurry up and wait project. Maybe by Christmas Dottie will be in her new home.

Have a great rest of your day. Make it a day of possibilities, productivity, imagination, and fun.
