Cards

 We got our first Christmas card in the mail.  Someone is more on the ball than me!   Ours will go out in the mail today.  I wrote the Christmas letter so it is not nearly as entertaining as my husbands versions. 

Card from Nebraska!

We had another quiet day, I did a few small projects. Nothing earth shattering. 

I did some laundry, washed some decorative glassware in the kitchen, crocheted until I fell asleep sitting up and then had a nap until my other baby brother and she who sees robins first stopped by to check on us.

It snowed and snowed

 Yes it snowed ALL day.   We have a fine bunch of snow now.  Kinda looks like Winter. 

We have enough.  It must be 3 or 4 inches of fluffy white stuff.  All hope for an Indian Summer was dashed...beaten to a pulp.

I cleaned out a box that sits on my desk.   It had lots of junk in it.  Then I got the Christmas cards ready for their Christmas letters ...I am not finished with the letter yet, but the cards are stamped and addressed and stuffed with cards.  They just need the letter and to be sealed. 

Progress is good.  I had 100 red envelopes and finished off the rest with left over blue and white envelopes from previous years. 

We did not venture out of the yard.

Weekend Activities

 We went for a couple of trail rides with my other baby brother and she who sees robins first.  I won't explain why they were both opening their doors going down the trail.

One night as we were returning home the moon was coming up. 

In other activities, we worked on the Christmas Ornaments.   I have decided how to paint them and have completed a sample.   It will work.   I made a list of the things I need to complete that project.  Far Guy is not done carving yet...and I can paint them later in the Fall when the weather outside gets rotten.  

I designed the outside of this years Christmas Card.  I have yet to work out the inside.   I ordered card stock and envelopes and made a list of what I need to finish the cards...a few brushes and some water color pencils.   I hope to have everything in process so that I can put them together during the craft retreat in October. 

We trimmed some branches that were bugging me when I was mowing the lawn.  I hate the ones that I have to push out of the way with my arm! Far Guy and my other baby brother put new mulching blades on my lawn mower ...so when the leaves begin to fall I can mulch them.   I mulch about ten different times before the leaves are all out of the trees. 

We have a very busy week ahead of us. Lots of appointments and places we have to be.  Next week isn't looking much better.
