Hey Cherries. It rained all day yesterday and it has finally stopped. The temperature has been in the 50s and will shoot up to 57 today. I never made it to the post office yesterday so will do that today, along with a few errands. Then back home to continue on with wrapping and getting this house in order.

Have a great day Cherries.

good morning,

Life has certainly been a rollercoaster lately.  Family drama always rears its ugly head around the holidays, and then throw in some health issues, it's not a good mix.
I've been trying to lay low and fly under the radar, but the drama queens hunt and find more reasons to start trouble.
It certainly makes me dislike the holidays more and more.  We are one step closer to just staying home and spending time with our little family and letting the others deal with their own manufactured issues.

On a good note, I've been slowly working on some pages and sneaking in some orders...some of the sales are just too darn good to pass up!  lol!

have a great day!

Back to the quilt grindstone. Yesterday i dug out some hair claws to see if that would help and roll the quilt. But some aren't very strong. Need to venture to the shed and see if I can find some spring clamps.
Smacked my pinky toe on a box this morning.   I have officially named that toe li'l smokie. Because it's a tiny sausage. I don't know how many times i've hit it over the years but it's been at least a few. It's definitely shorter than the other pinky toe.

Have a great day, cherry berries! Gotta run... (or in this case, hobble.)

Thanks for the nice welcome the other days!  I have begun to feel better. My head is clear, just nasal cold, now.  DH is a day or two behind me.  He had a rough night last night, coughing, even with meds and all other remedies we are trying! LOL. So I Came out and slept in a recliner.  Surprisingly, I slept!  I have never done that before!  I know my late mother in her 80s always said she could sleep better in the recliner.  Well, I am 79, so I guess it is my turn!

I did decorate the tree yesterday.  Now our family room downstairs is a mess, as I had all the Christmas boxes out rifling through them.  I have to find the energy to straighten that out.  DH (81) and I have to go downstairs today and make up the beds for family coming on Friday.  I could ask them to do it when they come, but they are driving through and will get here late.

sorry for all the drama ,  Wendy. ( is that right?). I hope it gets more peaceful for you.  Nice of you to start the chat, PawPrints.   I will try to get to know you here, then I will know you in the challenges and galleries.  I have to go in search of a cough drops, as I am having a coughing fit.  Ugh!   I think I am on tail end now.  Cough always last, it seems.

Awww Wendy! I TOTALLY get the drama llamas! It can CERTAINLY be frustrating! Hugs!
I think it's great that you've been making some pages! AND yes! Sneaking in some orders! I've been shopping, too! We DESERVE it! 
Hang in there!

Lil smokie! I love that! I have a meme somewhere where the other ties are saying to the little toe, "why is always you?!" (I've definitely had my fair share of that, and 
I HOPE you're not hobbling too much! )
Good luck with your quilt today!!!

I hope that both of you find relief from the colds, soon! I know I had one a while back that hung in for two weeks! I REALLY hope y'all don't have that happen!
So nice to have visitors!  
Hope you have a great day!

Hey Cherries  
Well I didn't get done filling out and addressing my cards yesterday. I kind of wasn't in the mood really. So I just got ONE done! I realize time is ticking by and I need to get it in order! 
I have to go do some shopping today and I'm kind of JUST taking my time getting everything together this morning. I slept in late and am having some coffee. I'm taking my time with everything because I'm off work today. 
Have a blessed day, Cherries!

Hey Barb!  So good of you to start these chat threads each day.  I don't often reply to them because I never have much going on but they're fun to read.  Do we live in the same region?  We've been getting rain too and today it is the the low 50's.  I'm loving it!  It could stay like this all winter long, if you ask me.  ;0)  Hope you get your wrapping done!

Ugh, family drama is no fun!  I hope things settle down so you can just enjoy the real reason for the season.  Scrapbooking and shopping sound like good ways to escape.  Enjoy and keep scrappin!

Sorry to hear about your poor little pinkie toe!  Don't they all look like li'l smokies??  ROTFL!  Have fun quilting!  Hope you get lots accomplished.

Sorry to hear you're still feeling under the weather.  I've had a cold and blocked ears since last Tuesday.  Finally went to the quick care and got put on some antibiotics.  Turns out I have an ear infection in one ear and the other ear is also very unhappy.  Anyway, I hope you're feeling better soon.  Hooray for you for getting your tree decorated!  Small victories..... right?

You'll get your cards done.  I just know you will!  Sometimes you just gotta wait til the spirit hits you.  Relaxing with a cuppa joe is always a good way to start the day.  Hope you get lots of shopping done today.

Just quickly checking in before I start to vacuum and mop.  DH is out driving and the fog and snow decided to roll in, so he is taking his time and won't be back for a while.  I ran to the bank, Target,(where I ran into someone I use to work with and got all the low down.) Her daughter is also at school with my oldest granddaughter.  So we have a lot  to talk about.  Then I headed to the grocery store for my weekly shopping trip.  It's amazing how fast that week goes by.  So now I clean and will be able to spend the days enjoying my Seattle daughter's visit, when she arrives tomorrow.  

Otherwise, enjoying the season.  Also got the cookies done yesterday.  And went down to the sewing machine to quilt the Halloween quilt I am making for my oldest daughter.  Should be able to get it finished today.  Sounds like I am having better luck than Tan I Am with her quilting.  Make some binding and get it sewn on.  

Hope those who are under the weather get to feeling better quickly.  Not the season to be sick

Grey and drizzly and cold but no real rain. Supposed to b grey and cold here rest of the week until weekend.  Then next round of storms Saturday through Christmas Eve. 

DD in Florida ordered gifts for my sons and me to come here cause easier.  I wrap all but my own which my sons take care of. Welllll. Got one Amazon box yesterday that was delivered to next door neighbor and looked like it had been squished and partly torn open and retaped.  Finally got the other either very late last night or early this morning but still one gift missing-mine!  lol. Oh well. 

got my tree up and decorated yesterday.  Took two of my neighbors to do it. Dang thing was so crooked.  But looks ok now and will b gone on the 26th anyhow.  Also decorated living room and entry hall.  Looks very homey and festive. 

boys coming to dinner tonight. Beef stew and biscuits.  Need to go get some potatoes, carrots, and celery for that so a quick store run later.  Maybe wrap a few more things if I’m so inclined later. 

have a productive and beneficial Tuesday.

Oh Wendy! I’m so sorry about the drama! Why do people feel the need for such nonsense? I’m glad you’re scrapping and buying! The sales really have been awesome! {{{HUGS}}} and I hope things calm down soon!
