Hello, everyone!!!!

I just wanted to let you know that I did survive the weekend.  Saturday was Xmas shopping with in-laws, which was a blast.  No shortcuts were taken, and to be sure M drove.

Yesterday was grocery shopping, then we went to see Xmas Lights.   See, there is a place in Tucson, a subdivision that does up Christmas lights for the whole place.  It’s called Winterhaven.  And there were ALOT of lights.  It has been a thing to do for free in Tucson for years.

They did an awesome job, there was one corner that was a Griswold Christmas light fight going on, one guy had his yard wired for lights on it, along with everywhere else!

Another had a Frozen theme with soap bubble snow, that looked amazing!

Then there was the mystery of where Royal Ember’s flock had gone for the winter solved.

There was laughs to be had, along with my nephew being thrilled with lights as well as playing with M.

All in all, I have been busy the entire time I have been here, either resting (like today, too many people at Winterhaven!) or being so busy we had no time.  But this week M and I are all alone at the house, and it might be time for us to relax.

I am on a slow connection, so if you want to talk to me, be patient.  I really have to work on some chores this week, mostly making cookies and chocolate covered cookies, my peanut butter rice crispies dipped in chocolate, crunch berries treats, snicker doodles, chocolate covered pretzels.   And wrapping for people.  Since I am OCD on wrapping, everyone trusts me to do it for them.  lol!

I had forgotten the cards to mail out for the Xmas cards exchange, so I bought new ones, and will send out them as I receive the cards.  Sorry, I had to forget something!  This time was a little more than normal.  I was excited to get here!

Now I am off to write.  Hopefully, some fun stuff that you guys will like!
