You could never 'trash' an area like I have!

All I can say to that Kim, is that you've obviously never been in my house

Liz did about half of our gift wrapping while she was home this past weekend. She's not home again until right before we have our Christmas (Dec 19). So I am have to do it myself before then.

We are having Christmas at my mom's on the 18th and then here on the 19th. That is the only weekend Alex has available to come home, so we will work with what we can.

Oh yes, exciting news, Alex and Steph got themselves a house

They still need to have it inspected before the deal is final but they have found something they like. It is in the country and has a lot of land around it. Alex has never been a country boy, so we will see how they like it.

I will try to post a link here so you all can see it.

Here it is:

I've not seen it of course but I've seen a lot of pictures of it.

The basement is totally unfinished so they can finish it however they like.

Lots of land there for Mom and Dad to park the trailer if they are passing thru the area

Wow Robin nice house!!! I love the size of the yard!

I haven't actually seen it in person, only in pictures but it does look nice.

Kids these days They sure don't seem to start out where I started out when I was that age. We lived in a little tiny house when we were first married but it served it's purpose just fine and we liked it.

The yard is huge and neither one likes to do yardwork, so I'm not sure what they are thinking

They did write the lawn tractor into the offer though. It's a lot easier to mow a lawn when all you have to do is sit on the tractor and take a drive.

Very Nice house Robin! I'm sure they'll love it there. I agree the yard is beautiful, but it's a TON of mowing!

I've been doing house stuff today - not a lot...bargain shopping (food) and getting the checkbook straightened out.

I made some really great homemade chicken soup the other night and we are going to re-heat it, but all of a sudden, I have a craving for popeyes chicken....hmmmmmm. Can I talk hubby into going outside? It's cold!

[tiggerwannabe]

I finally took a few pictures of my bedrooms that I painted a couple months ago.

The first set is Alex's old room. The colour of this room is very strange. It seems to change from a dark terracotta colour to a fairly bright pink colour depending on the light I'm not sure that I'm in love with it but it is what it is and I'm not about to paint it again.

The picture is one that I've admired at Disney the past few years. I finally bought it when I was there in October. It has a sand pail for each of the parks and also DCL

This room still needs some suitable bedside tables but I haven't found anything I like yet.

I love the bed and it is so very comfortable. It's great. It is a queen size though and the room is tiny, so it tends to dominate the room but that's okay with me.

These are pictures of Liz's old room.

Colleen, notice a familiar looking Mickey

I am quite satisfied with the way these two rooms turned out. Now the rest of the house looks like it needs some work

GUEST ROOMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Remember when you were a kid...Christmas took F O R E V E R to come around. Not so much nowadays! I swear just yesterday was Christmas.

I got 2 BEAUTIFUL Christmas cards!!! Thanksabunch.

I aint doin Christmas cards this year. But I will post one here. Christmas is kinda of a drag for me this year. I am doing ok, just soooooooo very weird without Mom. She was a BIG CHristmas nut.
The other day I was in the store and saw a Santa Statue, and thought KATIE WOULD LOVE THIS...and for a breif second I was gonna get it. Freaky i know.

Anyhoo...I am actually done with my Christmas shopping...except for my friends Grandkids...I aint got NOOOOOO idea what to get them. I will put up the tree & do some lights in front of the house. But I aint going all out this year. Maybe next year.

1 week and I am on vacation. Its been brutal here at work for so long. I am also in the middle of getting all me teeth done. The dentist is really cool. I had a cracked front (of to the sideish) tooth. WOW you would never know now. I am truly just looking to veg out between Christmas & new years. I aint doin NUTIN! Thats my Christmas present to meself!

Be back soon! Love to ALL!

Double ditto buddy...the first year is always the hardest

 

[Hollyann]

DU - I'm sorry you're having a difficult time this Christmas. Like Colleen said - the first year is always the hardest. You're in my prayers.

TW - I'm glad you're having a good time. Disney is really lovely this time of year.

Robin - I'm with DU! Guest rooms! WooHoo!

PD - always great to see you!

Hi to everyone! I'm thinking of you.....I hope ya'll are having a good day today. I had my teeth cleaned this morning and I'm off to have lunch with my friend (our annual Christmas lunch). Had a nice dinner with friends out last night and I'm going to an open house tomorrow.

Ya'll take care!

 

[Cruisin]

Thanks Colleen

Hi Ann, busy as usual I see.

Thanks Betsy for the card

I am going to see Liz tonight.

We are going out to dinner at a chinese Buffet place. It is a very large place with lots of choices. I'm not real fond of Chinese food but I can eat at this place okay.

Then we are going to see the stage tour show of So You Think You Can Dance, Canada.

Seems like a long time ago that I bought those tickets.

The weather is not supposed to be the greatest here for the next day or so. Right now it is doing nothing but it snowed last night and then washed it away with rain. Expecting more snow and more rain today. Yuck.

 

[Hollyann]

Robin - how cool that you're going to see a show! I LOVE that sort of thing (Tom isn't a huge fan, tho he has a good time when he does go). Looks like you're busy, too! Have a great time!

Really heading out this time....

 

[Cruisin]

The show was fantastic but the weather is atrocious.

It is so very windy outside right now.

Now, you all know that I'm no little person but the wind was almost knocking me right off my feet when we were walking to the theater

Nasty weather.

Is it summer yet

 

[KimRaye]

Is it summer yet

I'll take Spring, actually!

-temps and wind chills here. (didn't we have a BRRR smilie?) BRRRR!

DU!

 

[pixie dust 112]

So I saw on the weather channel this morning that my daughter's college town is in the 4th snowiest city in the US! They are supposed to get several feet of snow between today and tomorrow. Al Roker is an alumnus so he gives a report on Oswego about once a week.

 

[Cruisin]

Several FEET of snow in the next few days

We don't often have several feet of snow for the whole winter.

And that's the way I like it.

The less snow the better.

Lots of winters we barely have any snow at all.

Cheesy Mak & Santa!

At 3, She knew how yo play Santa.
