Good morning mamyhats :) Thank you for your post :) I enjoyed reading/hearing from you. It is so wonderful hearing from and about other people :) Sounds like your granchildren had a lovely evening too :) I chuckled at your coment on my amount of energy :) there are many days since hitting 60 that I slow way down and or have to give myself and extra push :) One of my Christmas open house will be for my sibs and their wives, my uncle and aunt and several cousins and their hubby........was telling my cousin May in an e-mail of what candies I had made so far this past weeek and was going to finish making by Friday. SHe emailed me back and said for me to tell mu DH to spray paint me pink and put me on TV....lol she said she thinks I have more energy then the bunny LOL. It sure was my chuckle for the day. In all honesty :) I could never do half the things I do if not for the help and encouragement of my DH. :) :) Going to do all my cookie baking this coming week and spend Monday and Tue of the next week cleaning, dusting, cleaning and dusting :) on Wed I will pull out serving plates/dishes and making some food that can be held.....my first open house is for my card club and it is our Christmas party/gift exchange. Then on the following Monday (19th) I host the certified providers Christmas party/cookie exchange......another on Tue for a different group......family on Web plus family communion at church ......friends of DH on the 23rd (3 other couples these guys and my DH have been friends all through school) and on the 27th I am having a ladies night out :) my DH will be working that night and I have invited some friends in for a buffet, music, talking, lauging, and I always have a snowman craft for each to do and take home as a reminds of our evening :) this is our third year for getting together after the holidays and just relaxing :) :)
Was trying to find an empty night to try and get our birthday club in too........some ladies from church and we went to school together and have birthdays in Sept :) we did not graduate the same year but withing a year or two of each other and now we go to the same church and find that our birthday's are all withing a week of each others :) :) how neat.....or so I think :)
I am off here for now..........DH has coffee made and ready in my cup with my cinn/hazlenut creamer and sitting ready for me by my chair :) :) he is so special....and I sure let him know :) :)
HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY :)
