Aftermath

Posted by: J on: December 28, 2008

Our holiday celebrating is basically over. We are still visiting with family and maybe a friend of DH.
It was a really nice Christmas. We received great presents, among them a George Foreman grill, a recharageable massager (which DH already used on my knotty shoulders), a couple of gift cards, tasty food items, a [...]

A little Christmas

Posted by: J on: December 14, 2008

I’ve done a bit of decorating in my apartment. The little pines were on sale at Walmart and I bought a package of ornaments to put on it. Went Christmas shopping yesterday with a new friend and spent some time in the evening getting things wrapped.

Found these little turkeys at the Hallmark shop in Kewanee. They were on sale and I couldn’t resist. Now if I just remember that I have them when Thanksgiving rolls around next year.

Metal Head
