Beautiful tree! And white lights! My favorite! I need to find a local groomer. There is one close by that has good reviews online so I think I will call tomorrow to get an appointment after we get back from WI. I think the dogs will appreciate having the extra fur in WI!
Post a pic of the stocking please! Thanks for the reminder that I need to pick something for the 2 significant others that will be attending the festivities. Kids are getting cash this year. Not very personal but they all seem to need it now! Hopefully they can all buy something fun that they will like!
Greetings Peeps, Peps and Pups
Still more sun. The big storm may arrive tomorrow but for now I will take this. We are below average on rain so far and while I am fine without it, I know lack of rain leads to all sorts of other issues. But glad we are not like Washington state.
So Liz those people sound fun. Always good to make new friends at this time of life. Our Christmas group is down to 7 people though our host wants it small anyway. I have old pictures on my phone of past groups of people who are now deceased. So enjoy the new folks. GL on you Christmas travels. I bet DD is right that your DD may eventually be glad to do holidays in Florida.
Hmmm DD Duluth in December?? The events must be great ones. Kudos to you for braving the cold. Yep. in the winter be a cat and seek sun. And it is so sweet of you to make a quilted stocking for DS girlfriend. Expecting any Christmas announcements? Regarding Pop, I remember starting college in a small school that had students from all over the the nation and thinking it odd that people went to the "soda" machine.
Great looking tree Peps. Holidays seem to be synonymous with bad eating. Our friend brought over cranberry nut bread and I ate two slices in one day. Don't beat yourself up. This too shall pass.
Yesterday at the gallery was not too bad - had some visitors and sales. Turns out the boat Santa parade is tonight. Studio buddy is coming over today at 3 for football and bringing pizza. I told her that works but we can't go too late as we turn into pumpkins. So we shall see if she takes that hint and does not stay too late. She is fun to be around but kind of wears us out with loudness. We are sedate midwesterners.
DD Brazil in a month!! Can't wait to hear about your adventures. Hope you can stay connected here. I understand that What's App is the best email connection when one is in a foreign country.
No cookies here yet but a store mission is in the planning stage.

Ohhhh CC, nothing like a good salon facial! Sounds like you had an extra special one. To DD try a basic salon facial at a good place that knows what they are doing. So relaxing and refreshing. You will love it. ds
Beautiful! I love all the ornaments!

203. - Boooo, but yesterday I was up to 202.8 and so I threw caution to the wind and ate like crap. My rebellious side took over. IF the scale is going up, I might as well eat like it should... type of thinking took over. I didn't eat a lot, but my choices were high sugar and I drank about 12 oz of water for the entire day. The rest was coffee... Not a good intake day for the scale, but I got some eating disorder behavior done and out of the way. At least, I'm aware...
Mostly grooming today. It is another gray day. Blech.... I'm sitting next to the tree, which is cheerful. 
A couple of years hosting, and your DD may welcome the offer to celebrate in Florida : )
One month! Yay! It will come quickly.

We met this couple when we were here in mid August for a week. They had just moved here in June. We invited them to join our bocce team and have done some golfing with them. It is definitely easier to make friends in Florida where we are all transplants than it is up north.
I'm with you on hosting Christmas in Florida. We tried to float the idea for this year including doing it at some point other than on Christmas itself. DS was ready but DD was insistent on hosting at her home this year. We may try for it again next year. We probably would have gone home just for 2-3 days before Christmas to see DH's kids and my SILs, then hosted my kids for up to a week down here at a convenient time for them. Traveling with the dog, freezing out on Cape Cod, and staying 3 out of 13 nights in hotels doesn't thrill us. But the actual celebrations and visits with family and friends will be enjoyable so I am trying not to be a grinch about it.
I'm glad you found a church you are comfortable with. Between meeting people there and in your new community I bet you will have close friends in no time.
