We had such a nice weekend. I had to work Friday but it wasn’t too busy and I was able to get out a little early. Thanskgiving was great, leftovers are still great. We went to Amy Ruppel’s studio and I got one of the bee paintings for the state of Mississippi. Here it is:
We didn’t do much shopping, just wrapping paper and batteries from Walgreens. We picked up our tree though, from a nice non-profit lot on 82nd. Our house now has tree and lights in the front. Mississippi was afraid of the tree at first but has warmed up to it. I hope she leaves the ornaments alone. So far so good. We rewarded her with a new doggy bed for her early Christmas present. She loves it as long as we are on the couch but the minute we vacate, she’s back on the couch. She doesn’t like to share the couch with us all that much, she wants it all to herself.
Yesterday was yard work day. I finally took down the tomato plants and put some ferns in the strawberry baskets so we’ll have a little green throughout the season. We brought the money tree inside for the winter and Tom raked all the leaves in the backyard. We went through a bag of ancient computer cables and I did a little tidying in the garage. Dinner last night was an amazing roast turkey with green beans and leftover yams.
Saturday I had craft night with Tricia and her daughter Ella. Tricia made this very cute reindeer:
and I made this um… lovely lampshade which Ella promises to cherrish forever:
I’m a little sad to be back at work. I miss my husband. Lots to celebrate right now. It’s an exciting time and I’m so distracted. This week I’ve got to get back into the groove and get some more paintings done. Toodle loo.
