My big disappointment with Christmas was the Grandson was playing games on a phone all afternoon. I knew this would happen, but I didn't think it would happen at age 6.
The most ambitious things I’ve done over the past several days have been in the kitchen:Sunday - Christmas cookiesMonday - Lemon lime Jello cottage cheese surprise (aka Green Stuff)Tuesday - Vegetable beef soupWednesday - reasonable facsimile of a turkey dinnerThe upshot is a refrigerator full of fabulous leftovers. We just had Richard’s favorite “morning after” breakfast - turkey bacon sandwiches on whole wheat toast.
The neighbors loved their baking-supply gift. The best reaction I could have hoped for.
No kidding, Elmore. He was mostly playing with Grandpa's phone (he had downloaded games on it when we were babysitting). He set it down once, and I swooped in and put it on the bookshelf. I was getting ready to start reading "Horton Hears a Who" to Aunt Sassy, and Grandpa handed it back to him. I was pretty ticked off.
This is the only child I have ever known who has no patience for books. But if I start reading to Aunt Sassy, he'll climb up on the sofa and wiggle in to see what's going on.
And if Grandpa's phone wasn't available, he took Mama's.
And that's the end of that rant.
I'm thinking of making a trip to Big Lots to see if I can score some lights for the Christmas Tree next year. They are going totally out of business, so maybe there's some good prices. I don't need anything except lights.
Today is the DH's birthday - the Feast of Stephen that Good King Wenceslas talks about. We went out for breakfast, and a friend is throwing a dinner party tonight.
Should I know who Stephen Farrow is, since I'm somehow blocked from seeing his posts on Facebook? I see people responding to Stephen Farrow by name, but not what Stephen Farrow is saying.
Boxing Day greetings! We had a very quiet Christmas Day, the highlight of which was a 3-party live chat with Rob’s household in Illinois and the other grandparents in Michigan. We got to watch Charlotte and Hannah open a huge box that spewed forth half a dozen BLUE balloons, signifying the new sibling will be a brother!
Not really, DR Jane. Unless these count:
Our Safeway closed yesterday.

Not feeling great. I know I don’t want sugar.
Back from the bank - first in, first out - then CVS (more Claritin-D and two light bulbs). Allergies have calmed down a bit, so that's spiffy.
