Whew!

It's been a busy time for us! This was our year to go to Bikini's for Thanksgiving, so Golfer and I were away for a few days. We had a nice trip and a wonderful visit. Bikini did a great job preparing dinner. Boxer and Bloomer are growing up sooo fast! The weather wasn't too bad but the traffic was a bit worse than usual. We are safely home now and getting back into a daily routine.

There was some catching up to do with unpacking, and putting away of "stuff" and doing a mountain of laundry. The yard needed leaf clean-up again; I think we might be nearing the end of that yearly job. At least we hope so! And then there was the decorating to tackle. Golfer and I decided it would be nice to have a tree at the front of the house that would be visible from the front windows. Our usual tree is a bit too big for that, so we bought a tall, slim one for the dining room. Our original tree is in the living room in its usual spot (after shifting the new furniture around a bit) I really like them both! The furry kids are wearing themselves out running from one tree to the other. (they don't know which tree skirt to rearrange first!)

It was at this point that I wanted to insert pictures of both trees. For some reason, that function is not working with blogger right now, but I discovered I could post the pictures separately by using another route. So please see the two following posts. Thanks Bikini for your help!

I'm in the process of finishing the Christmas cards and hope to have them in the mail soon. Haven't even thought about baking anything yet. Most of the shopping is done. So we are well on our way into the Merry Christmas season.

While we were at Bikini's, NurseJ and CableGuy surprised BeyB with a trip to Disney World! They had a great time and came back exhausted.

I have to get back to work on all this desk stuff so take care and stay safe!
