Good Weekend
I had this whole weekend off. It was so very nice not to have to do anthing or be anywhere. I did get ALL of my holiday shopping done on Friday by 1:30 in the afternoon. It was already very busy by then so I was glad to be heading out of Madison before things got really hectic. My little pup and I (and Tibbs) hung out in the girly room all
afternoon, watching Christmas movies and wrapping presents until Scott came home from work. He had to work the weekend, so on Saturday Olive and I loaded up and went to the Sauey House. Everyone was home so it was just very warm to be there. We made Scottie dog shortbreads and Krumkake and watched movies. My Mom and I stopped by my Aunt Lois and Uncle Gary's house and they had the most beautiful birthday present for me. These wonderful hand-embroidered day of the week towels. 
Each one has a different squirrel on it. The grey one on Wednesday is my favorite. I love them! Thak you with all my heart! On Sunday most of the fam went to my sister's holiday program at the highschool. The program was for the school choirs, orchestra, and band and it was lovely. It wasn't quite the Nutcracker that I so wanted to see but it was still wonderful and Gretchen did so well singing her heart out. By the time the program endend it was already getting dark. The pups and I packed ourselves back up and headed for our little house. So now back to work. This week will be very busy, I feel, and I only have Thursday off until Christmas. There is still one big gift I need to make and a couple of little ones as well. I will need to do some more baking, cookies and cakes and such. And the little house needs some attention, too. Things are quite messy around here, lots of laundry and , Gasp!, no laundry detergent. How can this be? I had better get crackin'.
