I’m planning to wrap gifts and get packages ready to ship this weekend. Sunday might be the day to bundle up and take a long walk. Mittens are now out of my closet and part of my walking attire.
Stay warm this weekend! I hope that you have a good one.
There are times when something has to give. Sometimes it gives without me even realizing that it “gave” until after the fact. When I woke on Thanksgiving morning, I realized that I’d forgotten to publish my Thanksgiving post, wishing all of you a happy holiday. I hope that you were able to spend quality time with family and friends and that you had a special Thanksgiving holiday (if you celebrate it).
Here’s what I have to share this weekend.
