Morning Sans family
I’am up having my coffee this morning reading the Sans.
Lyme was lovely though much limited in the rooms to see. Each decorated room was in a different history period relating to other NT property in our region. So we had Tudor, Regency, Georgian, Edwardian finishing with a corridor display or wreaths dressed for the 12 days of Christmas.
Sounds like a nice time.
So, you do presents on Christmas Eve or just some on that day and keep some for the 25th?
We do presents on Christmas Eve. In years past I always had a big meal and Celebration with present opening with all the family on Christmas Eve then a nice dinner meal for local family Christmas Day. It was becoming to much, so cut it down to just the big celebration Christmas Eve. We all unwrap our presents then. The littles are so happy to be together.
This year all will have to check temps before they make the trip over and if they have been exposed to someone who is sick sadly they will have to stay home.

By the looks of your balls I’am sure they were lovely
Hope all is well with you Robo and you and your husband are doing well......
We are doing ok. Thank you. Hope you and all your family are well and looking forward to Christmas.
That definitely looks like a shot Robbie! Glad you were both ok. So good you got to visit with your Dad too.
Thank you. We had a nice visit with dad although he can a bit cantankerous at times. This will be his first Christmas without my stepmom I know it will be hard for him.
Time to cook our stir fry now - easy meal and little prep or clearing up so more parcels can be wrapped. We have “The Holiday” on now - gradually working through the Christmas movie
Sound like a nice evening.
When is the wedding?
So sweet you were included in the bridal search for the dress.
Bet it was a happy time and lots of fun.
At the end of June.
You’ll have a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with your family.
It’s wonderful you can all get together in your home.
I’m sure you’ll have fun those two days with your loved ones.
The best thing in life are our friends and family.
Thank you Mac. We are looking froward to our get together Christmas Eve.
Pixie dust for you that have a blessed time with the ones you love.
My prayer for you dear lady is that you have a wonderful Christmas too.
I’m sure he appreciated both things!
He did.
My hand still looks like a club from the swelling. Im icing it faithfully, elevating it & surgical bandage is intact. if i use it at all, it inflates. Frustrating
Sounds like your doing all the right things. Some post op swelling is expected, but if the swelling gets severe to the point of finger numbness get on phone with surgeon ASAP. One of the issues of severe swelling is compartment syndrome. Doesn’t happen very often, but something to be aware of post surgery on hands or feet.
Sending lots of healing thoughts and prayers your way.
I am fortunate in that I don't have may people to shop for. I only buy gifts for B, dh, my mom, and one friend. I've also gone to a simpler form of gift wrapping this year.
I think on last count I have 36 I buy for.
Nice that she found her dress so quickly, When is the wedding?
Her dress is beautiful. Wedding is the end of June.
Made some chocolate chip cookies this afternoon, so that and my evening cup of tea will be called dessert.
Sounds yummy.
Tomorrow having a spur of the moment trip to the Dark side. I have that extra ticket since we didn't have HHN this year and finally managed to make plans with a friend before the big holiday rush.
Yeah!!!!! To a trip to Universal. Have a great time.
For those still in the Xmas shopping game, it’s Green Monday, the hunt is on
. Helped one DS snag the elusive PS5 console a few weeks ago. Hoping to find o
Happy hunting on the game system.
Still cannot type with my thumbs like they both do. And really quickly too.
LOL.....I’am amazed at the speed the young ones can type with their thumbs. I cannot type with thumbs on phone
Just when I think we're getting a handle on Covid, it throws us for another loop. One of my son in law's friend died last night from it in Philly. She was only 31, the age of my eldest dd and son in law and was at their wedding. I'm so upset.
I’m so sorry to hear of one so young passing from Covid. It is so sad for anyone to die of it, but when you hear of someone so young passing of it it is tragic.
We'll be getting the snowblower ready tonight. Yep, we always get dumped on and so far it's predicted to be "greater than 10 inches" of snow with some estimates between 16 and 24 inches so far. I'm realllllyyyy hoping the forecast changes. We have had that much snow before, but it really is a pain to deal with. We're also the "higher elevations" you hear about when the forecasters say "with more expected in the higher elevations".
Hope everyone stays safe!
Wow.......sounds like a lot of snow. I will not complain of the 25 degrees I woke up to today and the first frost on the grass. Sounds like a mountain of snow heading your way. Hopefully the system will settle down and you won’t get as much as predicted.
Can anyone guess what I’m doing right now? If you guessed sitting on hold with an insurance company, you win. I am so ready to go home right now.
You are a saint for having a job dealing with insurance companies.
And ack, as of news this evening, expecting 6 to 10 inches of snow. But I’m in the hmm area, as there is the sure where McK is, will get over a foot of snow, and shore area mostly just rain.
Wow....you too Lynne and the snow. Hope you all don’t get as much as predicted either. It’s beautiful to look at, but a pain to deal with in large amounts.
B and I went to the mall tonight so she could buy something for her dad. I found 2 puzzles that perfectly sum up 2020.
Those puzzles do kind of sum up this year for sure.
As I was yelling at the cat I looked at Dh and he was holding a towel to his head. Me: Are you bleeding again? Him: I was scratching my head. (He just got the staples out today.) I told him that if he did it again I would get him a human sized cone of shame.
Did he get the picture........LOL.....
Granddaughter had a bad reaction to an antibiotic. It caused her face to swell and blisters inside of her mouth. It was caught before she had breathing issues. She is on meds to help now and sees doctor today. I feel so bad for her. She is such a sweet heart.
We spent most of the day yesterday going to meeting hearings at the county seat of our community about the various things that need to be passed for the builder who bought the farm land behind us. They were the drainage board, the County Council and the Area Plan Commision on the rezonimg from A1 Agricultural to R1 Residential. The builder showed the houses he wanted to build and they are awful looking. He is wanting to put way to many houses on the land and the houses are cheaper and will devalue the homes in our neighborhood and the ones adjoining it on the other side. It was postponed until next month. The builder will have to bring it before the board again.
A good point was brought up as to whether the amount of earth the builder will have to move to build on the land will destabilize the surrounding homes. There are old mines under a good portion of this area and some homes in the community on the other side of the farm land have already had some mine subsidence settling issues.
Spoke with older sister yesterday and she had to put one of her dogs down. I felt so sorry for her. She was very upset. Although we don’t have pets we do enjoy our families pets and know how much their furry babies mean to them.
Last night about 11:30 when we were preparing for bed we heard 3 rapid sounding explosions and them our power went off. Someone either hit the transformer box or there was obviously a major malfunction. Power came back on about 3 am. When I got up this morning I went into the formal living room to turn on my Angel tree and the burglar alarm went off. When power went off and came back on it reset the interior sensors. When I passed the sensor in the living room whoopee......I had to get to the alarm pad and reset the system.
I need to get moving this morning. I have a few things to do and some phone calls to make.
Have a great Tuesday everyone.
Mac it’s taco Tuesday.
Santa is coming soon.
