Five more days! I bet all the little ones are wound up and have enough energy to power Santa’s sleigh! And speaking of little ones, I haven’t seen Cameron in a while. Noah’s schedule and the weather are making it tough. I’ll see them soon I hope!
I started the morning out by mixing up bread dough and setting it to rise. Just did a few household chores, ate lunch, and then decided to trek down to L&L Fleatique, for no specific reason. I found a little cow for my farm scene, and a spoon rest for the stove. Those are the little things I enjoy, rather than eating out or splurging on frequent movies or hi-ticket shopping. I can manage spending a few dollars every couple of weeks!
A few things caught my attention at L&L. One was a Shirley Temple paper doll set. Karen Ober (Skunk Hollow Cousin) and I used to stay up late (without permission!) and play paper dolls. Her favorite was the Lennon Sisters – and if I could have found those I would have sent them to her! Such happy memories…
Another thing I saw was a set of little figurines that spelled N-O-E-L. We had a set of little candle holders, and when no one was looking Dad would rearrange the figures to spell E-L–N-O! He always denied it, of course!
This Sunflower dresser also caught my eye! It’s something I though Kelly would love. It was also look super cool in my Crooks room!
By the time I was on my way home, traffic was backed up on Route 30 for as far as I could see. I had planned on going home the back way but needed gas in the car for the weekend.
When I finally got home, I put the bread in loaves and they are currently rising. I can probably bake them about 7pm, and I’ll have a warm slice for supper.
Last night before I went to bed I snapped a pic of my neighbor’s house across the street. They have LED lights and they sparkle and shine and it’s beautiful to see!
My blessing for today was just thinking of so many precious friends!!!
PEANUTS Thought for the Day:
TOMORROW December 21st is:
Blue Christmas Service; Don’t Make Your Bed Day; Humbug Day; Anne (Frank) and Samantha (Smith) Day; Look on the Bright Side Day; National Crossword Puzzle Day; National Flashlight Day; National Fly Day; National French Fried Shrimp Day; Short Girl Appreciation Day; Winter Solstice; World Snowboard Day.
Yesterday’s fake day was National Turkey Neck Day; Tomorrow: Anne and Samantha, for sure! Not only will I make my bed, but I’ll change the sheets! There were a lot of obscure and off-the-wall celebration suggestions. So pick the ones that appeal to you! Like, Kelly – Short girl appreciation? And Daniel Morris – Snowboard? I think I remember a connection there. So let’s just all look on the bright side! God bless…
