The other day I realized it was time for another blog posting. I stared at a blank page for what seemed like hours. Was it possible that nothing entertaining had happened in our lives? Were we sick or had Richard, Ginger and I finally blissfully settled into our new way of life?
I took another look around the house. A Christmas tree draped in gold garland and sparkling colored ornaments stood proudly in the corner of the living room. It's white lights twinkled in the daylight. A beautiful angel tree topper smiled down at me. I glanced at the calendar. Today is November 10th.
We held our Secret Santa drawing. I drew Richard and he drew me. Ginger drew herself so we'll make a trip to Petco so she can pick out something. We set a $25 limit for each other. I fully expect my gift to appear under the tree in a day or two. Oh, the temptation of waiting until December 25th!
If only we had a fireplace, the stockings would be hung with care while the fire crackled below. But we don't. This is Florida. The best anyone can do is an inflatable snowman in the front yard.
Hang on to your hats for the cooking of the Thanksgiving turkey. That event is a spectacular one around here. Always has been, always will be. This year however, Christmas came first.
