Coming Around the Back Stretch...

Today is the LAST pay day before Christmas!

Whew!

I have finally finished all of my Christmas shopping for our large family (8 adult and 3 grandchildren)! I'm broke as a piece of peanut brittle (oh, yum!!!) but I am so glad that's all over! Now as we roll around to the back-stretch I have one more special person - my Husband - to shop for; and two weeks to do it...well, 1 1/2 weeks.  Can I just say out loud.....once children grow up and become adults, and as my husband and I grow together, it sure gets harder and harder each year trying to think of just the right gift(s) to buy!!

Each year I swear that I'm going to start early saving money and shopping for gifts - but that never, ever happens! Fortunately, this shopping season hasn't felt the least bit stressful and I haven't spent more than I have in Christmas' past. That in itself is a bonus for me!

The tree's not up, decorations are still boxed in the garage, nothing is wrapped or boxed for shipping. Hmm, well, I'm almost there....I see the finish line up ahead.

Soon the race will be over and a New Year will be nipping at the heels of Chistmas day.

Cheers!

Peace!

The Dark Days

I still have them...just without drinking through them. Sometime I wish I could, but it's not an option if I want to live. Peace
