You are an inspiration getting your Christmas ornaments going. Although it is only like 129 days until the big event! I called for measurements last night for making things for Christmas. Why I didn't do it while they were here? I was distracted most of the time! LOL! More so than usual that is. I didn't watch the olympics this year and I usually watch them....always have but I canceled satellite and the kids were here so that was that. Have a great day! Oh, I think I'm going to watch Fargo tonight. I remember when you watched it and I've been meaning to so I decided Friday nights will be movie nights.Sam I Am......https://www.blogger.com/profile/17358633233189452832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-85080338821898757992016-08-18T23:30:42.852-05:002016-08-18T23:30:42.852-05:00Congrats on the birth of a new baby.
