Making memories.<br />I am with you, no desire for all the parties and such any more. I used to - years and years ago.

The only ...I love the winter, so no problem there. The only christmas decoration I have put out is a rotating lighted wreath above the fireplace. I have a full pantry and freezer. So no worries there.<br /><br />I have been watching my son and his wife. Thinking back to younger days when it was go, go, go. I kept the grandson Sunday so they could go to a Christmas party and they have another tomorrow evening. I will have the grandson for a couple of hours.<br />It was a fun time when I was younger but now I have no desire for all the festivities.<br /><br />I did get up enough energy to make cookie dough, so the grandson and I will make cookies tomorrow. Stay well, will type to you again soon!Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03678570688924756944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-89073503582630837332022-12-13T22:06:51.729-05:002022-12-13T22:06:51.729-05:00I have goals that involve changing lifestyle--losi...I have goals that involve changing lifestyle--losing weight and improving my health...favorite perennials. lol The next two months are hard for me, too cold.

I've thought of that before, that just must be so very hard at times. And your indoor kitty too now. I just thought of something though, do you know Petco is waiving adoption fees right now? At least that is what I heard on the radio in our area, I think you go to their site for details. : ) I thought of you and I thought of my daughter also who has lost all of her kitties including her kitten this year tragically. Praying for you.

The National Health Service in the UK moves at its own pace!! assessment is this Thursday, so planned vacations are on hold.<br />We have a busy time with family until the 28th then we can chill. <br />We had sad news with a Christmas Card today. The wife of one of my husband's old work colleagues was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year and unfortunately it has spread so it's not good news. They moved from the area back in the spring to live near family so that is a blessing.<br />In a few months time it will be time to start planting fruit and veg again. I love the spring and early summer when plants grow from such tiny seeds.<br />Meanwhile, I will follow Lori's plans and start January with a book (or three) which I know are Christmas gifts, and a cuddly blanket and take it from there. We also have the small dog to mind for 5 days so that will be a treat. <br />Best wishes, Heather from the UK<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-42978327676006748822022-12-13T17:59:52.926-05:002022-12-13T17:59:52.926-05:00We have months of cold coming yet!
