Tuesday evening

Hi everyone!

I know I have not posted lately. I have been reading posts, just not posting. The weeks have been flying by and now it is only two weeks until Christmas! I have my shopping almost finished. We finally found a doll house for Lauren. She wanted one big enough for her Barbies but we did not want to get the Barbie Dream house (very expensive and cheaply made.) We found what we ( and she) wants at TRU. It is a wooden one and really nice. So that finishes us for the kids. We got Jake a Leap Pad. Lauren has one and he uses hers so   we thought he would like his own. I am planning to make them each a pair of pjs. I have outfits for them and new hooded bath towels which they love. I still have to do my cards and finish decorating but I do that a little at a time.

I have been reading a lot since I last posted. I read The Perfect Hope by Nora Roberts. It was a nice finish to the trilogy. I read An Outlaw's Christmas by Linda Lael Miller. This was her annual holiday book. It was a good short read. Not her best but still good. I read Sleigh Ride with the Rancher by Donna Alward. She is one of my recent favorite authors and I really enjoy her books but this one was not as good as her usual. I had some trouble liking the h. Not a bad book just not her best. I am now reading Christmas Confidential, a two story HRS by Linda Conrad and Marilyn Papano. Good stories.

Margie--I enjoyed your pictures of the Christmas trees. I am familiar with those progressive dinners. They sound like fun.

Donna M--I continue to enjoy your pictures. The ones of the waves made me miss the shore.

Trudy--Belated happy birthday! Glad you had a nice day and heard from your sons and grandson.

Amanda--Glad you had fun at your reunion. I have never been to any of mine. Maybe the next one. That was a nice surprise to get the inheritance, but for a sad reason.

Sandi--let us know what you find out about the other interview. Glad you listened to 50 Shades.

Well, I think that catches me up for now. I will be going to the library for my volunteering tomorrow. We have been very busy there. We will  have the kiddos overnight on Friday so Karen and Jer can attend Jer's work Christmas party. The kids are excited for a sleep-over. I have craft projects planned and will get some movies at the library to watch.

I hope all is well with everyone and you are getting your Christmas prep done.

Take care and take time to read!
