I love it when the house is clean. It’s looks comfortable and sparkling, smells fresh, and makes me happy! I again took my time getting everything done. Started a new book – having trouble getting started with it – the main character sure had more than her fair share of trouble to start out! I like more ‘take me away, Calgon’ type books. But so far I’m sticking with it.
So – now to recap yesterday! Cameron was fun and exceptionally co-operative. He’s moving in the right direction. I’ve seen some changes in him even since his last visit. I think he knows how to push his Dad’s buttons, though. As usual, the first two things he went for were 1) his cows. 2) his farm! He likes giving the pig a ride in the tractor.
Since I picked him up at noon, we ate right away. He had Vienna sausages, crackers and cheese. His favorite is cheese. I think he’d eat that all day! That, and M&M’s (but we waited for those). He loves to hide, so he sat on the little bench behind the couch for a while.

Next he decided to take care of his baby. He loves to feed it and wrap it in a blanket and carry it around. He was being exceptionally tender and I told him he was a very good Dad!

Kelly txt me about making her pillowcases, so Cameron and I went upstairs to measure mine. She needed to know how much material to buy. I measured and wrote it down – but then Cameron needed to measure too! He was measuring everything in the house and writing it down. For ‘Aunt Kelly’! He insisted on putting the note card on her bed in her room! So I guess she’ll need an interpreter!

We played some games and read some books, then got out the plastic Match Box mat. The cars kept getting stuck in the creek (yes, he said creek!) and he’d rescue them with the milk can ladle!

I have a set of old fashioned keys that he plays with and we couldn’t find them. I got him a flashlight and we started hunting. He looked everywhere – inside of things and under things and behind things – it was very cute! He actually loved looking for them. I found them after he went home – they were in the ‘music box’ of Charlie Brown and the gang on the bookcase. So he’ll have them for next time. As I mentioned yesterday, we had a good day – but I was still tired at the end of the day! But it was a good tired.
Today after I cleaned I took an hour and went outside in the gardens. I dug out a few weeds beside the deck and at the top of the hill. Made sure the side flower bed was cleaned up. One little bit at a time!

So that’s it for the day. Oh, and I did see the horses again about noon. They are so beautiful standing up in the field in the sunshine! And my friend Tom sent me a Christmas video – with a note: 253 days until Christmas! (Just a note – there are only 247 days — I think this was someone’s miscalculation!)
QUOTE of the DAY:
Well, closer to a joke…..

I read the book before I saw the movie – and was excited when I recognized it!
