Thinking of you, Cheryl. I know how hard it will be to get through these couple days. Praying you find comfort in stories others will share about your dad and in knowing how many people loved him.
JB, I got a tree put up out on the front porch (my Halloween tree, actually, since I never got it painted black) with blue lights only bc I remember my mom always telling us their outside lights growing up were blue. I sat her inflatable Olaf on the bench next to the tree. He's as big as the tree! I think that's it for outside. Inside I got my village all up. Soooooo much smaller than my Halloween one! It just has a Nutcracker wood carving shop, a chocolate factory, candy shop and three bakeries for buildings. Hmmm...a theme in my life! There are lots of smaller pieces too. The tree will go up tonight, I hope and that may be it. We got at least one 2" of snow yesterday and hubby didn't feel like clearing it last night so today I'm meeting a friend for lunch and then need to shovel, workout, make my pancakes and put up the tree. What a bummer your snowshoeing lessons got sleeted out! I love snowshoeing, hate sleet!
Karen, I'll try to remember to post a pic of Olaf at TotalFitness when I get one taken. I need to get back to running one of these days. I only ran once each in Sept and Oct so unfortunately I'll be back to square one. Sigh.
I don't remember which of you asked about reading. When I worked 15 miles away I listened to Stephen King's Dark Tower series on CD but I don't listen to audiobooks now. I don't read much bc once I sit down with a book I can barely get myself to stop and do anything else. My favorites are Stephen King, Dean Koontz, William Kent Krueger and Janet Evanovich, although I do like others too. I can't wait to get my friend's new one started!
I listen to a lot of podcasts. Mostly fitness, dogs, and supernatural/horror stuff. I listened to a lot of TTSL in btwn music on the trip to/from AZ!
