Early morning treadmill – don’t like the cold weather walking! After working both stores and stopped to see Mike P, I headed home. Diane planned to stop over with a frozen pizza and we had lunch together. I provided the hot tea and cookies, and she provided most of the conversation. We covered a lot of subjects! I’m not sure why I never remember to take photos at these things. But the pizza was different and really good.

Chicken, bacon and ranch flatbread

Last night on my way home my eye caught movement out the window, and there were three wise men – – ah, er, DEER — standing in a yard on Fosterville. I think they got tired of the camels and were hoping to hijack the cars…

Just hanging out…
“Can you drive a stick shift???”

Again I took a walk through my house, enjoying the decorations. I may have posted some of these before. Just absorbing the magic!

My white crystal nativity with blue lights
Snoopy decorating the dog house
I made the Frosty and Santa pillows for Kelly when she was a baby
‘Rockin’ around the Christmas tree’
My metal nativity
I love my little red sled and the poinsettias

When I finish here, I’m planning on reading over my script again a few times and then balancing my checkbook. Blaaaaa…

Memory book – December 9th: What did you like to look at there (favorite stores)? “Douds store had everything you needed for the housewife & things to use when you sewed. I liked to look at the pretty buttons in the cabinet full of drawers. Murphys 5&10 had fingernail polish that was behind the counter. We had to ask a clerk if we wanted to see a color up close. We never had money to spend on things we didn’t need.”

On this day in 1868 the first traffic lights were installed outside the Palace of Westminster in London. In 1965 A Charlie Brown Christmas premiered (first Peanuts animated special), and in 1992 Prince Charles & Lady Diana announced they were separating. Margaret Hamilton (wicked witch in the Wizard of Oz) was born in 1902; Donny Osmond in 1957, and Clarence Birdseye, founder of the frozen food industry, in 1886. And today would have been my grandfather Lloyd Steiner’s birthday – born in 1904.
