Where has the time gone? It’s already time to get busy for the holiday season! Our calendar is full for the next few weeks.
Saturday we are planning a garage sale, weather permitting. We have a lot of Christmas décor that someone might have a need for!
Sunday we have friends coming over for homemade Mexican buffet.
Monday getting things done around the house before family arrives for Thanksgiving feast.
Tuesday more preparing the house for family before Thanksgiving feast.
Wednesday, cook all day for Thanksgiving feast
Thursday, eat and eat. Take a nap and eat some more!!!!
Friday, hang-over recovery from eating too much Thanksgiving feast.
This will be the last Thanksgiving at our house. We usually host Thanksgiving (when we are in town) and Christmas at our house.
We look forward to celebrating Thanksgiving in a different place each year. We have decided what we will do about Christmas yet. We’ll have to play that by ear.
The weather here in North Texas has begun to get cooler and the leaves are dropping from the trees which means I had to clean the gutters on the back of the house. We have a few large pecan trees in our back yard.
We love having the pecans but our gutters don’t. Dawn held the ladder while I climbed up and cleaned out the gutters. It is a nasty job! It didn’t take long but that is just one of many times we’ll have to do that before the trees are bare. We have learned a valuable lesson here. Don’t plant trees that close to the house.
We didn’t plant these trees. Dawn’s parents did and they weren’t that close to the house until we extended the patio.
