It was a pretty nice day for a Friday the 13th. I didn’t even realize the date until we were half way through it. Kelly stayed until about 11am. She worked on a small project and I made 2 rice bags for her and a winter pillowcase. I also sewed pillow shells for her to stuff with the foam filling.
We had a good time together – it’s so rare that she doesn’t have at least one of the boys with her. We went out to lunch, and went shopping all over the place. We also made and ate our potato soup for supper. We were going to watch Biltmore Christmas but I couldn’t log into the right app. It was nice to have Kelly to myself for a while! We even stopped at an antique store and strolled around for a while.
I used the rest of the day today to catch up on errands. I stopped at Giant Eagle and picked up a prescription refill. Then I stopped at the bank to get Christmas money, and that is all handled for the kids. I also stopped at T-Mobile as I had a question about my phone storage, but they couldn’t figure it out either.
From there I got a few groceries, then material for more rice bags. A quick stop to get another book of Christmas stamps at the post office (Hi, Dad!) and then got called to work. I was there for about an hour.
Spent the last bit of time finishing up my Christmas cards so I think I’m done with that now. It’s snowy and cold out so I’m happy to be inside.
Now – short recap on Don’s party Wednesday night. It was nice to see a few familiar faces. I hadn’t seen Ellen or Kelly Smail except for at the funeral home in years so it was nice to chat with them. Talked to an old friend, Dan (controller at Smail’s) and his wife Gail. Mike P and his wife were there, too. Don and Sharon have a beautiful house and it’s always so elegant and welcoming. Tons of good food, too!

Autmn sent me some photos of Cameron. She says he can give kisses, boop your nose, dance, climb, shake his head no, say ‘quack’, ‘duck’ and ‘knock’ (while knocking). And drink with a straw!
My blessing today was getting caught up on so many chores!
