Good Lord, how did it get to be November already?
You know what that means…the holidays are upon us! I’m going to have to schedule some overtime so I can afford presents this year, what with the hurricane claim and the deductible and all. Maybe I can sell a story or two
I’m hoping to have the back porch restored by the end of the year IF I can find a contractor and agree on a reasonable price that’s within my insurance budget. I’ve just got off the phone with a roofing/siding company who’s been contracted to check out the house for possible damage, so that’s one thing going right. Now if I can find someone who can rebuild the porch …
What are some of your holiday traditions? For American Thanksgiving, we almost always have a turkey with all the trimmings (cornbread dressing with gravy, green bean or broccoli casserole, and pumpkin pie for dessert). At Christmas, we usually do something off the wall like barbecue or lasagna. I do like to decorate a little, but not something crazy that I will then have to turn around and take back down to store again. A few Fall tokens, as in the above photo, then a few Christmas items for the porch. We may or may not put up a tree … that depends on our mood at the time and whether or not we have the library floor cleaned off so we can actually fit the tree into the corner. I do like having a tree up, but it’s a lot of work.
Comment and let me know some of your family traditions!
