Holiday season

Less than two weeks till Christmas. It will be different this year. We are going over to Tim and Courtney's for Christmas dinner. Hooray for my daughter- in-law!

Looks like Sam will be the only kid around on Christmas day. Grace and Dallyn will be in Drayton for the day but we will see them some time over the holidays. I have no problem with a quiet holiday.

We had a nice week-long visit from Will at the end of November. He got to see lots of the booboos which made him happy.

Caitie decided in the end not to return from maternity leave so they asked me if I wanted to stay on for awhile. After some thought I decided to carry on, for a couple of months anyway. We'll see how it goes.

Not a lot of note happening here. I have put up decorations but the tree will have to wait. We are having a Cjristmas party here on Wednesday and if we have a tree in the living room there won't be room for all the guests.

I have been doing a bit of sewing which I am finding satisfying. It's like knitting, I like doing it but somehow have to make myself get started doing it.

Geoff had cortisone shots in his elbow and shoulder which helped relieve the pain for a while but did not seem to last. He has an appointment with the specialist next week, maybe she has some solutions short of getting him addicted to painkillers.
