DONNA ~ so glad you and your DH had such a wonderful trip to Whitehorse; and you got your Christmas shopping done as well. Happy Birthday to the little fella; and good for you eating so well on your trip too.
2b ~ sounds like you are a busy lady; hope you like your new job. Night shift can be really tuff; both you and Tricia have long shifts I see (you 10 hours and her 12 hours) -- that can be very tiring indeed. Night shift was one shift that I just couldn't do; my internal clock would get so messed up that I would literally be sick
JUDI-LYNN ~ don't send that storm here
; we have been getting light snow on and off, but not too much at once, thankfully.
TRICIA ~ hope you start to feel better soon; not fun to have to work if you aren't feeling well. Gee, hope you don't spread that cough around; most employers today say they would prefer those who are sick to stay home until they feel better; maybe pick up some losenges as they might help you.
We spent all of yesterday working on our Creche (Nativity Scene); DH and a friend made the creche 2 days ago, and then made a crib for baby Jesus this AM, so it was all up to me to produce Mary & Joseph. Well, that took me all day too, by the time I drew them out on thick cardboard, then cut them out and finished the fine drawing in the afternoon.
Then we stopped and had thin-crust pizza for dinner; and it was back to work for me doing the coloring of my poster people ...
It took me all evening to get them both done, while DH drilled a hole and put our Bethlehem star on the front; then he glued all the cracks to keep out the snow using a big plastic glue gun. Hey, they look pretty good considering it was all handmade and no $$$ spent so far, but we do have to get a flood light so we can see them out there in the dark, and they just happen to have some on sale this week -- so I hope they have one left for us ...
Our temps have dropped here too, but the
was shining brightly for us for most of the day and it was lovely. We both were so tired that we went to bed and I woke up just now and decided to have some tea. I will likely go back and lay down again as we were both so tired (even my fingers and arms were a bit numb from all that art work), but we shall recover.
Take good care, and hope you all have a wonderful weekend ... Rosebud
We had colder temps today; the sun tried to peak out but we only saw it for a short while late in the day. We got our Nativity Creche (manger) all set up and the lights working tonight and it looks great; we have even had some compliments on it already. Took some pics; will show them when I have them uploaded and resized. Hope you all are feeling better today -- take good care of you and yours ... Rosebud
