Getting Ready


So it occurred to me recently that Christmas is fast approaching! As most of you know I believe my real job in life is to spoil my grandkids mercilessly. Having said that of course I have already bought them far too many Christmas presents. The cost of shipping things from South Lebanon Ohio to Rutland is insane. So what to do with all of the presents except get them wrapped and bring them with me to Rutland. So that is what I have been doing. I have been diligently trying to find the gifts which of course I started buying immediately after last Christmas and had moved with me. And guess what! I can locate some of them. LOL. But not to worry I have more than will fit in my car, especially with them being in gift boxes and all pretty! Oh well, getting everything in the car, that will be Mike's problem.

It is pretty cold here today. Last week it was in the 70's, today I think it is about 40 and the wind is blowing. Everything is parched and ugly as it never rains here! The weather people are saying that we are having a drought, it only took them 5 months to admit what all of us already knew. At least Mike is no longer watering the lawn. Our water bill was crazy all summer long.


Mike has gone to Vegas, some work related conference. He surprised me last week and bought my mom a ticket to come here to see me. She will be here on Friday. That was very sweet of him. Hope everyone is doing well in Rutland. I miss you all. I have attached a picture of some of the deer I see everyday just a few yards from my house. There are more dumb deer here than I have ever seen and they are huge. They cross the road like they own it and stop traffic on a regular basis. They can be a pain but they are nice to look at.
I love you all, will post soon.
