The gal at Walmart said “It looks like you are starting some Christmas shopping,” to which I replied, “I’m just finishing my shopping, since I want to have everything ready to go by Thanksgiving. It is weird wrapping presents on November 18, but it is also nice to have it all done. I still have a couple more things to finish making and I’ll be done, at least as far as my offspring and theirs. We are thinking of getting photo-frames for our Mom’s. Even thought they don’t have internet, we can just bring pictures and dump them in every three months when we go down. I think they would both enjoy having it. Then I just have to buy little things for the people I work with and for the piano kids.

After one cold, wintery-feeling day, it has warmed up again. Not as warm as before, but still unseasonably warm for hunting season. I’m not complaining! Warmer weather = less heating fuel used.
