1ST HALF OF DECEMBER

COPY CAT COPY CAT....YEP TRACY POSTED AND I FIGURED I BETTER.

My excuse : I started this 1st week of December and got frustratred when my pictures I took in Bama of my tree was tooo big to post and just never got back to it. New years resolutions are really overwhelming me this week, lol. I will post this to cover most of December and prob see most of you before I post again.

I have managed to get the tree up in Bama and drive back to Vicksburg by dark. Not many people drive 300 miles to put up a Christmas tree, lol. The boys returned from thier moms and Kyle was able to get the radiator hose installed, but he had a low tire and was gonna put the spare on and geeesh his spare was gone....no idea where but gone...of course Pat had a spare stashed and Kyle found that and threw it in the back of his truck....He aired the low tire from the van air pump and was back in business. He sure is growing up into a handy young man.

It is now Tuesday and I have the tree up here as well. Today is Pat's birthday and Elaine's too, I think Pat has had a great day... seems he had calls from many.... I even got a few calls of SYMPATHY, seems some folks know its hard to live with an old man, lol. Pat stayed in Bama for this week to be there when a roofing guy was finally fixing our leak we have been trying to fix for 2 years.... not a bad leak and not everytime it rains... but a leak. Pat stayed in Bama until Saturday... I was off on Friday and enjoyed my day off... I went to the outlet mall to do my annual shopping there I really did not buy any Christmas not sure what I did not but did it all day. On Saturday Blake and I got up early and went to walmart, then we wnet to SHIPLEY's to get doughnuts and also got a dozen chocolate covered to carry to Tyler and Tanner. Later in the afternoon I carried Tyler and Kyle shopping for shoes and birthday stuff for Tyler...well we managed to do OK but Tyler was more interested in going to Game Stop than looking at clothes...But we did get a pair of pants .... I sometimes wonder if he belongs to Tracy cause she sure knew how to work me on a shopping spree. We went back to my house for cake and pie when Tracy and Pat showed up.

2nd week fo December was kinda slow I started getting sick, and went to Dr to get meds to get better quick if possible. I had to work on Saturday (boss panic, lol) which got me way behind on Christmas stuff to get done. Sunday was busier than I like but I did get most things done and only 3 days to work and I be off the rest of the year, lol.

Sorry for boring post or no post at all...I will try to do better next year but gosh the winter months are so boring. Loved the card from Brandon and Christi and look forward to meeting the twins next Sunday. Until then all be careful and drive safely.
