It's Beginning to Look

a little like Christmas. Started decorating the house yesterday, but got interupted by going to work at noon. But have the big bay window done and the tree is up. The new tree is enormous, taking up a lot of room. We'll just have to deal with it and it almost touches the ceiling at 7 1/2 feet , so no room for a tree topper again. The house is in shambles and the grandkids are staying tonight.
Found a picture I really love and will share. Will post some photos of the house when it is a little more finished.

It's Almost December, oh my!!!!

And the panic begins for shipping out gifts, sending cards, baking goodies. But I think the shopping is pretty much done. And I think one more project just to decorate. Things are well under control. Curtis and I had Nicholas and Harlee today, and yes, I took photos.
And here they are. Harlee was in the Christmas spirit.

Movie Night

Curtis and I actually went to see a movie together-the new James Bond flick. Pretty good--lots of bang, bang, shoot em up as usual. Pretty quiet day around here--got some groceries, visited with Kirsten and the kids and finishing up some Christmas projects,

Black Friday

So, it's Black Friday and what do you do when one gets canceled from work. Shop, of coarse. Hit Michaels to get some frames, wrapping paper and few little other goodies.
Next, Bed, Bath and Beyond for a Christmas gift for someone special and around the corner to Herbergers. That was about it. Lots of people out shopping. And I sure didn't open the shops at 4am. I was up at 4:45 calling work.
Curtis hit the jackpot in Kalispell- getting us a new Christmas tree for $49. Looking forward to putting it up and decorating it in the near future.
Promised Curtis we would go to the James Bond movie tomorrow.
And Sunday we have the grandkids.
Yummy Thankgiving dinner at Kirsten's and Tim's last evening. Nice to have someone else cook the big dinner. She did a GREAT JOB. Thanks, Kirsten.

It's Been Awhile,

so I thought I better update the blog. Had a good, but quick trip to Salt Lake last week. The weather was unbelievably warm. I had packed clothes for much cooler weather, since it is Nov. Glad the weather was good for travel and that gas prices have gone WAY down. Filled the Pilot this morning from empty and it was only $35. I can remember not that long ago when it cost $40 with it half full. So that is a real plus. Worked my couple of days over the weekend and now off until Thanksgiving. The new fence is up in the backyard and looks real nice. Will post photos of the sunrise the day we left for SLC and a few others.
