Diane Too bad they don't light. I haven't seen any like this before.
Gail I hope you're feeling better soon.
Ann We have only had a dusting of snow and then it melts. Looks like a no snow Christmas here.
Jim Reminds me of the "olden days" when someone would ask how to spell a word and they were told to look it up in the dictionary.
Christmas will be different for us this year. Usually everyone would come here for at least 3 days and we would do all sorts of things. That hasn't happened since 2021. My sister has had a really rough year, first an infection in her spine that took 3 months to diagnose, then she's had 3 surgeries since then. One of them removed the bone in her spine that was destroyed by the infection. She already had her spine basically replaced a couple of years ago, and a hip replacement. This fall, as she was recovering, the hip went out so they had to redo that in November. Then a screw connecting her spine to her pelvis bent and now they will have to redo that in February. If it doesn't work this time she will be in a wheelchair forever. At least she isn't in pain - when she had the infection the pain was unbearable for 3 months before they figured it out. So....we are going to go visit her before Christmas and take Christmas to her. My DD and the Sunshine Kids decided they were going too, and my nephew already lives there so we'll have some fun.
We'll still be here for Christmas but with a smaller group at our house.
Some good things with my horse, Wiz, this fall. He was reserve champion at the state fair, and then won the Thoroughbred High Point Jumper at the big Harvest Horse Show in October. That even came with a trophy, a cooler (blanket) and a monetary reward. This show has been one of my goals since I got him so I was on cloud nine.
