Frustrations

The nativity scene on the cabinet between the dining room and living room.

This centerpiece I put together all by myself. Aren't you proud? No Martha Stewart, but it works for me.

This is on the front porch, a new tree this year. It is done mostly in Boyd Bear ornaments, and of course ones from the little girls.

Our "chicken" planter that got run over last year when I set it behind the car and forgot about it.

Our new clock!

I think it is the same as last year, except we added the tree. We didn't put that up last year. Now, if I can just get all the lights to work. They are on a timer, comes on at dusk.

Why is it getting so hard to manage my check books???? I just spent almost 2 hours getting them to balance. Of course, it would help if I used my debit card from the right checkbook. I made a transfer in one checkbook, and paid a bill on line from the other. OOPS!!!! Thank goodness for check guard. ECCU must love me about now. Oh well, problem solved.

It is getting very cloudy, sure could use some rain. We have our Christmas dinner at the clubhouse in about 1 1/2 hour. I wish I could say I am really hungry, but nope. I don't suppose all the circus peanuts I ate this afternoon had anything to do with it. I would have forgotten about it, but the man of the house reminded me. Glad someone keeps track of things. (Maybe I should hand over the finances to him)

Just wanted to send along some pictures of what few Christmas decorations we have. Now I learned 1/2 of our outside lights don't work. Oh what to do???? Let them go for now or try to figure out the problem. I hate the thoughts of checking them one bulb at a time. YUK.

We have play practice tomorrow, something I look forward to each time. We are having so much fun, hope it is a success. Not that I have any big part in it, but it is still fun. Plus, I am getting to know more people.

I will try my hardest to post more often, we are just soooo busy.
