Hello all
It's a rainy day here today and very warm,very unusual and i imagine not very healthy.They are talking about it getting cold for tomorrow and maybe it will get down to some seasonal temps. It isn't that i haven't enjoyed the nice weather we have been having but there are a lot of people sick all at once.We should freeze some of these bugs out i think.Also i have to get in the Christmas mood,as i'm going to have a lot of dinners to cater to.Our church usually give the seniors 70 and over gift baskets,and my huby is a deacon so that means the wives help get them ready,but this year they decided to have a Christmas dinner for them.So Sat. evening we are feeding 57seniors so that means i'm cooking one turkey and making the mashed potatoes.On Sund. i'm having all the girls over after church as we are singing in the nursing home after lunch.
So sat. the feable and on sunday the 8 to 14 year old,i just hope i'm going to handle it all.The 9th i'm having my hubbies family over that is 18 people,onthe 9th and 16th our church this years turn for having Christmas dinner at the senior home, and that is a huge undertaking.It's a very large home.I told the ladies i'm not available on the 9th so i'm on for the 16th. We have postponed our imediate family such as our children and grand children to the 29th of Dec.So that will give me a bit of a breather.By that time i'll be sick of turkey i'm sure.
I will take it a day at the time,oh ya i have to decorate our home yet and that is going to take a few days to get that done.Next year i'm going to try for a simpler holiday season ha ha.,My hubby says it keeps me out of trouble.Oh ya i forgot this Wed. evening we are having a father daughter evening for the girls,so another event i almost forgot.
It's kind of cute, yesterday at church one of the girls asked my hubby to be her stand in father as she also has a sister in the club.I thought that was just so nice of her.I think that is the reason that i love to teach these girls, they are such wonderful girls. She could have asked any other man to take that place but she asked an almost 75 year old man.Yes he is celebrating a very big birthday in the new year.That is the reason for having Christmas that late so we can do two things in one day.It's not always easy to drive a long distance for all the children,so this way it's only one trip.
Well i've been going on and on.Hope you all are doing well and hope you all have a good week.
Hugs Margaret
