It is a bright sunshiney day here in the heartland. I just heard a big boom and then the electricity went off so maybe a transformer exploded. Weird for sure. I have had a bad cold these past few days and it is on the down side now. I have been sucking on Cold Eeze and it has not been as bad as it could have been. I am not planning on putting out all of my little pieces that go with my glass village this year for I don’t want to keep picking them up off the floor for I do believe that the kittens will be frolicking in them. I will just put up the buildings with their lights around the roof edges. I felt so rotten last evening that I didn’t go to WW. I did get to town though and bought Will a long gun for Christmas that he has been wanting. So now that is taken care of. Life is good. It will look festive around here though. We will be having our annual New Years Eve party and after that we will take the decorations down. This year has sure whizzed by quickly. I will email you the copies of the December calendar that my WW leader sends out. Will is going to the market to get the items I need to finish up filling up jars with goodies to give as gifts.
DONNA FAY That is so neat that he wants you to make more sox. What a kid. I am with the others that think you may be packing water and it will go as it should. Hope Jack is feeling better. Please email me so I can capture your address.
JEAN Burrrr. Those cold temps are making me shivver. I am sure you have nice warm clothes in which to snuggle up in when you go out and about. I don’t think it gets that cold here. When the wind blows it seems like it goes right through a body.
SUSAN Sox ~ I generally just wear black knee sox that don’t bind but do have some neat ones I got from a reinactment place. They are like the ones they wore in the gold rush days which are cotton. Up over the knee kind and striped or plain red or black. I have some purple and green striped ones and some black and blue stripped and some red ones.
I am through. Type at y’all later
have a lovely day, this first day of the last month of this year.
I saw that Penneys has the towels I use on sale in sets for $25 and they are lovely thick absorbent towels. I did want to get white and red and put candy canes in them, but they don't have red so I am going to figure something out in the colors they do offer.
I have all my jars filled that I plan on filling and the party is December 12 so I am ready with that chore. I need to now decide what to wrap up for my white elephant gift. Maybe I'll wrap what I got last year (I never used it). It is a small sandwich press. Went to our favorite butcher shop yesterday which is 60 miles down the road in a very small community. Got the 10 pounds of burger meat for my chili that I will make for the party. Also picked up a nice roast and a couple 1½ inch pork chops with pockets that I will stuff and bake some fine day. He will sell us a half of a beef, cut and wrapped for $200 less that what the butcher here in town charges. We also went to another small town that has an awesme gun shop. We can get our reloading supplies there for he has everyhing. What he doesn't have he will get for you. That old fellow has been in business for many years and has an inventory that certainly is worth up in the millions. Lots and lots of stuff and the hunters come from miles around to do business with him. He got our attention.
