I finished the last of my Christmas shopping today by jumping out of bed and being one of the first at Kohls holiday madness sale. I still lack a couple of games for
the little girls but I will have to check with Ellie and
see what she is getting.

We put up the Christmas tree and a garland on the mantle. We can't have the real thing because of allergies and I miss the scent of real trees.

There wasn't much madness going on until about ten, which
was when I came home.

Ted had the Dr. give him some pain medicine and he was
able to do some work outside today. I think he got it for
the sole purpose of being able to paint. It enabled him to
do a lot more than he usually does but I am inclined to think he will pay for it tomorrow.

We had a wetter summer than usual and the foliage is gorgeous. You don't need to take a foliage tour you can
see lots of beauty just in the nieghborhood. The trees are
all red and yellow.

Renee is having her huge garage sale. It is so much work
I started to put some stuff in it but it was easier just
to donate to Habitat for humanity.

Have a wonderful Sunday.
