Good morning everyone! Sorry, I lurked yesterday. It was a busy day around here and didn't have much time to post.

You all are so busy!!! That's great. Well, in my opinion. I would rather be busy than have nothing to do.

Fin - Thanks for posting the picture. Look how good your painting looks hanging on a gallery wall. I think it is is awesome!!! It's ok if it didn't sell. The great thing is, is that your on your way to obtaining your dream. How wonderful is that! I am so proud of you.

Momma - Thanks for the poem. I liked that.

B2Y - Your photos are stunning! Thanks for posting them. They bring back some great memories of my childhood, growing up back east.

Kelly - Tux is doing the same thing. We have a fake tree though and it isn't that heavy. I was sitting here yesterday working on some projects and the tree started wobbling. Oh, that kitty! Some things fell off and our start on the top of the tree was crooked! (DDs wanted the star this year, not the angel). I am waiting for the night when I am asleep and hear a big crash.

Sandy - It isn't fun to go Christmas shopping when people can be so crabby and rude. It changes our moods and takes the fun out of it. Last year, I shopped at local stores that weren't that busy and any big stores, like Target, I shopped during the day, during the week. It was much easier on me.

Renee - How are you? I hope you are doing better. Saying a little prayer for you.

Sarah - Oh my goodness, you busy girl! Hopefully on your days off you will be able to get some rest/sleep. Hi Maddie!

Barb - I hope that the weather is great and clear on Thursday for your trip to Ohio. Saying a prayer for you too!

Vonn - Where are you? Hoping you are doing well.

Hey Working Girl (Weave), do you still have that smile? LOL I think it is great that you got that job. Every time I think about it and your excitement I get a smile on my face.

Twink - That color sounds pretty. Of course I love butternut squash - yum! So the color of it on a wall sounds great to me. That color is very common around here. You can walk through any model home and see it on at least one wall. Good job on getting everything painted yesterday (that goes for you too, Mr. Twink).

Frank & Deb, Kay, Sox,, and Anyone else I know I missed [insert Frank's generic here] - Thinking of you and hoping you are doing well.

Have a great day everyone!
