DH and I went to Lowe's yesterday to buy some yard lights and we looked at getting a small tree. Nope, too expensive for something that'll have to sit on the porch for most of the month and come in for the actual event of Christmas. I can't imagine having a tree with four cats, especially my Louie cat--he'd topple if for sure!
I also doubt I'll do cards this year...
Looks like a trip to Dallas in early January for my BIL's memorial service.
My FIL, who I mentioned has had some problems, might get out of the hospital today or tomorrow. He had had surgery for a rather large kidney stone a few weeks ago and then woke up last week unable to breathe. Collapsed lung. Hospital for a day or so, discharged and the next day it collapsed again, so this time they did surgery to repair it. We were supposed to golf in a tournament this coming weekend, but he won't be able to, MIL with her hip problems is still having problems walking, so she may not be able to, and I'm afraid of ripping out a stitch, so we might forego the tournament. At least the donation goes to a good cause.
