Been Awhile

Wow it has been quite awhile since I last posted anything. It has been a very busy time I guess. First we had Thanksgiving. We all went to my mom's for lunch. My brother Les and his wife were there and my brother Chuck and his family were there. We had a good time together. Too bad Kelly and the girls couldn't be there. Of course we ate too much, but that didn't stop me. We went to Millie's apartment to the community room for supper. There were about 25 of us that got together. Once again soups were the main menu. Very tasty and lots of fun. Since then I have been busy nearly every week night. Between band practice, work, church meetings, etc it just seemed like there was no time for anything extra. This weekend has been the busiest though. Thursday night we went to Rachel's play. They did Okalahoma this year and it was fabulous. Friday night we spent at the fire hall decorating and getting everything ready for the fireman's Christmas party. Saturday during the day I had a VIP trip. Then Saturday night the fireman's Christmas party. This morning of course was church and tonight is our community band Christmas Concert and party afterward. In between I have been trying to get caught up on laundry. I haven't really felt very well this past week either. I have a chest cold so I spend a lot of time coughing - especially at night when I am trying to sleep. I am so tired of sucking on cough drops I could throw up. Maybe after tonight when things slow down I can rest more and get rid of this cold. Yipes. Oh wait, I need to get going on my Christmas shopping. I have a few things purchased, but have a lot left to get. I guess I won't have a lot time to rest.
