Hi...

It's been awhile since I have been on here...sorry...just have not felt up to getting on the computer. The holidays always adds extra stress on me not that I don't have enough...but I am trying to do better. Trying not to worry about the things I cannot change or do anything about anyway..that is hard to do.
Thanksgiving has come and gone. We had a great time at Mom and Dad's house. The meal was scrumptious. Everyone was there except Wayne and his family who were hosting his mother-in-law and a special friend and Tina's grandmother.
We went shopping on Black Friday. Went to Kohl's first, that was a total disaster. The checkout lines were wrapped around the inside of the store on both sides going in opposite directions. We very nicely scooted out of there without a thing and then headed to Walmart. There was not a whole lot there either that I was interested in. We left there and went to Haywood Mall where Mom and Deborah found some things that they wanted. Me? still nothing. It is not so much fun when you don't have children to shop for. I do have Allyssa and Dakota and maybe the new little one but I have not decided what to get them. I had better be making my mind up pretty soon though or it will be too late!
Went to the dentist with this tooth that has been nearly killing me for the past 1 1/2 months. Final result, a root canal that has to be done the end of January. Since the dentist needs to get the pre-estimate from my insurance company to make sure they will pay for it, in the mean time I have pain medication and an antibiotic to take. More medication, just what I need....but at least the pain will be subsiding, woo-hoo. There is nothing, well maybe a couple of things, that I can thing of that the pain is worse that a toothache!
Well, guess I had better get going. Work at 6:00 am, yuck!

When can I eat you....

This seems to be what Miss Kitty is thinking in her mind. Elliott of course just wants to aggravate her, peck her nose or try to pull her hair out. Just like siblings! Miss Kitty is a good sport about it all. She is the oldest animal member of our family. Then she acquired a brother german shepherd Hanzo who is 8 months old and looks like he is full grown and then she acquired brother or sister Elliott (assuming he is a boy). They both aggravate her. Hanzo has to chase her every time he comes back in the house.
We are getting ready to head to "our" lake house to winterize 2 jet skis for the winter. The lake house actually belongs to a customer of Vincent's but we have spent so much time there this past summer that we kinda of "inherited" it for our own. Pretty neat, huh and we have to house payment!!!!!! This is going to be an 8 hour job and of course my loving dear husband wanted to get an "early" start so we could get back before dark!!!!! Here is is 11:00 and we have not left yet. Lateness not on my part of course, I have been ready since 10:00. So I have been looking at my favorite blog site right now, lovelife. Kal is just so down to earth and you never know what she is going to write about, mostly her work, but it is interesting.
It has been a while since I have posted due to several different things. I did post the sunday we got back from the beach trip, a long one. But of course, I hit the wrong button and POOF! it was gone and I did not feel like retyping all of that at the time. So I will try to give little bits and pieces of it in the next several blogs. The weather was beautiful while we were down there. We had a great time with my brother Wayne and his wife, Tina and their daughters, Courtney and Lauren, both of whom are teenagers. Mom and a friend of the family, Alpha, ended up down there at the same time so we had dinner with them one night. Well, gotta go for now. Grab my coffee and head out the door, FINALLY!
