Well - Good Morning! How are we all doing today? The pitter-patter of little feet is going strong here at the moment. Had almost forgotten how fast a 4 and 6-year-old can move - they are a blur most of the time. We have stairs, and they are charging up and down all the time. Lordy, do I wish I still had a tenth of their energy!
The programed/forecast rain arrived about an hour ago ... you guys would call it a sprinkle, but it is enough to have some moving in the gutter! The temp is only supposed to reach a high of 57 today - and hence the rain - you know that it must be overcast.
I managed to "dump" a good-sized portion of the firewood in the garage so I would not have to go out in the rain to replenish the fireplace - it was nice to have a fire last evening while the kids watched a Christmas movie. The garage is full of Santa's gifts and all the 15 boxes of Decorations with the car sitting outside AGAIN!
Willie - One of my cousins from Beaumont (now departed) was the same age as I am; She had a real "gift of gab" and she used to tell about the 6 of them (5 girls 1 boy) being crammed into the 40's auto for a six-hour ride with her father puffing on a pipe which he would knock the ashes on the side of the car and they would fly back into the back seat where they were constantly trying to snuff out the embers which put holes in their dresses - girls wore dresses back then!
The way she would embellish the story would have everyone in stitches.
FLO -- good morning - I'd like a couple of eggs sunny-up with sausage, hash browns, sourdough toast with lots of butter .. please don't forget the harbonaro sauce.
