December 20th; eleven days left in this year and in this month. Can you imagine that??? And can you believe that we are supposed to reach 55 degrees today and that we might have 60 degrees on Christmas day?? But —— I’m not complaining about any of that. 

Our house cleaner was supposed to come today but I got a text from her that her son and her husband have both tested positive for COVID. So, she won’t be coming; and that’s okay. We went a lot of decades without a house cleaner. I just pray they will all recover quickly. Would be terrible to be spending Christmas with the entire family down with COVID. 

I’ll be spending some quality time today at Walmart, sigh!!! Got to get the shopping done for the Christmas company coming in and today is about the only free day to do that. Tomorrow and Friday we do doctor’s appointments and Friday Jules and Jim come in and then we have company for the rest of the year. My list isn’t overly long and I want to get my stuff and get out of the way of the last minute crazies. Ms. Kate and I have our menus fairly well planned, at least for the “big meals”. 

Yesterday we did a good outing. I got ms. Kate to actually ride along with me and we went to our butcher shop, and to both of the churches. She didn’t get out of the car but she did get to see. Few folks that we know and got to have short visits with them. It did her a world of good and it did me a world of good too. It was almost like a”normal day”. It’s been a long time since she went anyplace that wasn’t aa doctor’s visit. 

Well, I can’t put off Walmart forever so I better get properly dressed and get my shopping done. Have a blessed day. Peace.
