Monday, Monday, Monday! The Start Of A New Week.

When You Think Your Order One Thing, But It Isn't In The Bag At Pickup!

I was making my final check on the gifts I'm sending to Michigan. My granddaughter's gifts were fine, my grandson's as well, so was my daughter-in-law's. However I didn't order my son's gift card. Drat! I can remedy that with an overnight delivery. Then I went to the guest bedroom closet to get... Sign in to see full entry.

At Last! The Decorating is Complete, Including the Train! Must See Pics!

Last night Jessica and Chris put the finishing touches on outdoor lights. It looks so good in person. The pics we were able to get don't do it the justice it deserves but we used the phone camera. You will get the idea though. Jessica put the train under my tree, I was going to skip it this year but... Sign in to see full entry.
