Re: 28 SUNDAY 28 DEC 2025 ~ SAT JAN 3 2026
GOOD AFTERNOON!
SORRY FIR MISTAKE IN THE FALL. THERESA, HIOE YOU ARE STILL OK.
YEP, WILL GO SLOW ON PUTTING CHRISTMAS DECOR AWAY. DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO GET THE SILVER MERCURY GLASS SPHERES PUT OUT SO WILL DO THAT. LUKE THE LIGHT THEY BRING TO DARK WINTER NIGHTS. ALSO WILL GET OUT VALERIE PARR HILL CELEBRATION HURRICANES OUT. THE REMIND ME OF FIREWORKS. GOT FROM QVC. BEFORE I HAD SOME IF THESE ITEMS, HOUSE LOOKED SO BARE AFTER CHRISTMAS OUT AWAY.
WE DO HAVE A BIT OF CHAMPAGNE TO RING IN THE NEW YEAR.. COULDN'T FIND THE KIND IN PINK THAT WE LIKE. GOT THE SAME BRAND, BUT NOT IN PINK. ALSO GOT A BOTTLE FOR MIMOSAS NEXT DAY. ONLY ONE WHO LIKES THEM. I DON'T BUY EXPENSIVE CHAMPAGNE. A REAL CHEAPSKATE, HERE. WHEN A MEDICAL PERSON ASKS ME ABOUT ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION. THEY LAUGH WHEN I SAY MAYBE A GLASS OF WINE FOR ANNIVERSARY AND A LITTLE CHAMPAGNE FOR NEW YEARS.
I LOVE THE TIME BETWEEN CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR'S. GUESS SHOULD STRETCH OUT THE HOLIDAY CELEBRATION AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
COLD HERE TODAY. AT LEAST SUN IS OUT AND HIGH WINDS DIED DOWN. WE DIDN'T LOSE POWER, THANKFULLY.
STAY SAFE AND WARN. TRISH, STAY COOL.
JANET, DID YOU FIND YOUR MACHINE MANUAL? HOPE SO.
NEXT WEEK, HOPE BECKY AND I CAN GET BACK TO DECLUTTERING AND ORGANIZING.
Belated Birthday wishes to Heather.

THINKING OF EVERYONE. PRAYERS...........

It’s that week of the year that I have to keep checking my phone to see which day it is! I also have a Walmart order coming, but not a big one.
We had breakfast tacos for brunch when Ralph got home from having labs drawn. Hidden Valley has a spicy ranch that has a nice kick to it that we use on the tacos, with scrambled eggs, bacon and cheese.
It’s clear, cold and windy, high today 31. Thanks for all the birthday wishes for Heather!

I don’t keep a journal…never had. Personally don’t see the need?
Linda - yes. The manual was right where I thought but behind 3 heavier totes. DH got it. It’s now with the machine in the carry case….where it should have been. My plan is to check out that machine Thursday as I will be busy tomorrow doing “stuff”.
The winds here last night were terrible, but didn’t affect the power lines.
Anyone here have plans for NYs eve. We are going for an early dinner. DH rarely stays up. I usually do. We don’t watch the NYs programs. I put it on In time to watch the ball come down.

Aaron, Katie and the kids are coming over tomorrow night for our New Year's Eve "party". Also Gabriel's girlfriend is allowed to come with them this year, so he is happy about that. We don't do any sort of alcohol and toast the new year with Welch's beverages. They look like champagne and I have fancy glasses that we all use. Looks like we are drinking alcohol, but we are not. Dean and I do not drink alcohol.
We play cards, board games and eat. I make a lot of snack foods and usually put in a pork roast with sauerkraut. None of the others eat it, just Dean and I. Oops, sometimes Katie will have a little of it. So, that is our big plans.
It sprinkled snow all day and we have gotten about 2 inches of fluffy snow on the ground. I had to go to the grocery store and it was packed! I was glad to get out of the store and get home.
With all of the wind we had the other night, Lake Erie's western shore blew out into the lake. It was down to the bare rocks, down about 12 feet. The weatherman said it was a seiche, (pronounced saysh) and Buffalo on the Eastern shore was up by 12 feet!. We could see the docks and wharf all bare. Weather is certainly weird.
Linda, I am opposite of you in that I am glad the holidays will be over. Seems like all I do is shop for groceries and cook big meals since Thanksgiving. After New Year's Day, it will be restful for a while.
