Safe & Sound

Well we made it home from our vacation, safe and sound. On arriving we found no snow but very cool temperatures. However, the following morning, it was snowing. "Welcome home" was the message I was hearing in the snowflakes. It's that time of the year. What more can you expect? Just over a month till Christmas so we need the snow!  Too bad we didn't get our lights up BEFORE we left though as it is going to be chilly putting them up in the cold and snow.

We got to bed about 1:30 am and of course we both had work the next day. Wouldn't you know it! Not good planning on our part. I made it on time but I am sure glad I start at 9 am and not 8 am.  In the afternoon I took a few hours off work to attend a funeral for a lady I know. She had breast cancer which spread and after three years of treatment and suffering - she finally succumbed. She had the loudest laugh of anyone I know - and I know a few, loud laughers - but she made people around her feel better - she seldom complained (not that I heard anyway) and was more intent on making others smile.

Yesterday was busy at work. Occupied the whole day with something or other. It was nice to stay home and be inside today. I was supposed to meet someone at 8:45 this morning but oops...didn't make it. (Note to self:  Never make plans two weeks in advance without writing it down! Good thing to remember for the future.)

So, time to start pulling out the decorations or at least thinking about them. I am also thinking about birthday gifts for our two grandchildren with birthdays coming up on Nov 25 and Dec 6. Have to pick up gifts and mail them off. Sure wish those rates were a bit lower. Oh well...

Snowing again (lightly) but snowing nevertheless. Will try to do all my 'indoor' activities tomorrow and stay inside nice and warm!
