had the most wonderful quiet day today… I am particularly happy about this as I anticipate that the next four days are going to be packed…

wrote a few cards to pop into the mail, made chili and spaghetti with meat sauce, and put away the last few groceries from yesterday’s shopping trip…

the chili came out great… I added some hamburger and onion to the basics… delicious…

missed having the boys for dinner, but they were busy… we are planning to make a gingerbread house next time they are over…

packaged up some meals to share and for the coming week…

had a number of phone calls and enjoyed a few Christmas movies as well…

nice;-)…
