Good morning!
Good choice for a title, Laura! Yeah, this year has just sort of gone.... I'm hoping 2021 will go back to normalcy, although I think some things will change forever. I think some stores won't make it and I don't know what will move back into that space or just empty
. Also some new habits like online ordering and pickup at stores will continue. Hoping the masks will go away eventually and immunization becomes available - I'd probably qualify sometime mid to late spring for that.
I'm planning on walking Gus this morning - temps are falling and winds are picking up. I'm sure Gus will still enjoy his walk! Otherwise putzing around - I've got the house and yard decorated (pretty low scale nowadays) and I'm not planning on baking anything - I will pick up some favorite fruit cake from a good store. I should clean the house - lots of dog hair to sweep up! I should also start composing some Christmas cards and I need to stop by the Post Office to pick up more stamps. I'm a bit sad that I've lost parents and aunts this Christmas time... They loved the cards.
Laura, thanks for future titles - my mind in the morning isn't the best some days... Sounds like you have a full sized Christmas tree! Mine's only about two to three feet tall.
Paula, so you can come visit snow for ten days? That's about what I could handle going down to sandy tropical places for a vacation - couldn't live there permanently! I think there are several breaks for retired 65+ people here - I don't think their property taxes increase after the age - probably catches up as they move to another living situation after that age. Ooooh, fudge sounds wonderful! I don't make any at home as you end up with a ton of it, but sometimes I'll pick up a little box at a store with about four pieces in it - yum! As this is what I now go and pick up, I wonder if I should get rid of some of my food processing equipment as it's not been used in about a decade.
Waves to all (from >6 feet apart)!
