It seems as though I am underwater in slow motion this
week. Almost everything is done. The house is clean and
the cooking is last minute. Today is the big grocery shopping day at Tinker Air Force Base.

I took Adrienne and Ashley shopping for new dresses
yesterday and out to lunch. I tried to get Ellie to buy
something for herself but she was too intent on outfitting
the girls. We got three dresses for Adrienne and two for
Ashley. Ashley and I see eye to eye on fashion and Adrienne
and Ellie are more conservative. Adrienne really needed
new dresses for concerts and honors banquets. She picked
out two black ones and a navy blue. I don't like black
on young girls.

We always have Chinese when we go out to lunch. Bobby is
almost living on ensure and boost so we didn't take him any
and Ted doesn't care for Chinese. We can indulge ourselves.

Rex is acting like a puppy. I have been giving him a very
expensive joint treat but I have also been feeding him a
can of tuna a couple of times a week. I don't know which
one is responsible for his vim and vigor. He is back to
stealing things, (always mine) and wanting to play games
with me.

I hope that everyone has a good holiday and a delicious
Christmas dinner.
