Goodbye, Hello.

Goodbye, Thanksgiving.

Hello, Christmas.

I visited the cousins and family yesterday (hubby stayed home). They bagged the lunch out at the last minute and I went to the VRBO as originally planned. Much easier and made a lot more sense. There's nothing in that area worth "going out."

It was as expected. Chaos. It was nice seeing the group though. Most of my time was spent with my aunt and uncle and my cousin. Everyone else was a passing hello. I'm glad I went ... family is important.

That visit put Thanksgiving to bed for me. 

Leftovers finished.

Family visits over.

Now for Christmas ...

Tree is up in the living room and it fits nicely. I thought it was going to be an awkward fit ... nope. I struggle with spacial arranging without seeing it physically in the space. I totally overestimated the size of the tree. 

I sampled lights on the fence this morning while it was dark. Going for a straight line across instead of a drape or wrap. Fingers crossed I measured correctly. 

The rest of the decorating will wait until next week.

My grandson is on the mend, but I woke up feeling worse. 

The arch of the cold or caught something else?!? 

Sinuses are raging.

My hairdresser wrote a book. Did I mention that? 

It's a Christian story ... not my usual read. It came yesterday.

Of course, I bought it.

Of course, I'll read it.

Of course, I'll rave about it.

I hope it's good or at least good enough. 

I'm going to her book signing and launch party in December. 

I'm super impressed she wrote a book and self published. 

Those feelings I don't have to fudge. 

Maybe I'll really enjoy the book too. 

Today is my only free day -- Sunday through the rest of the week is full (as of now). 

I'm taking it easy.

Having some fun decorating.

Reading.

TV.

Maybe a walk to coffee. 

I hope you're relaxing or still enjoying the holiday weekend or just having a good day. Later gators.
