Well!

Seems like it's been a busier week than the "usual" around here lately.  

Our washer has been increasingly louder and we had a service call early in the week.  Nice man that has been here before.  He checked and said the bearings were "shot" and it would be at least $600 to repair and it would just happen again.  Then told us what not to buy and what to look for.  So we've been researching washers.  And in the process decided to replace some other appliances that are older than they seem.  That made more research.

Yesterday morning we went to breakfast at First Watch when they opened and when we finished eating, we went straight to Lowe's armed with our lists.  A new washer and a new stove will be delivered and installed on Sunday afternoon.  The new refrigerator is on backorder and won't be coming until January.  Whew!!!

Other than this, I've just been keeping up with things around the house.  I had a couple slower days due to increased pain and swelling in my hands.  It felt more like arthritis pain than anything from the carpal tunnel.  I believe that was due to all the decorating.  🎄 It is better now.

Our girls are doing okay and staying busy. 

Take care and stay safe.  God Bless America!  And remember, life is great, even now.
