made breakfast when my daughter arrived this morning… she had been on a work related check-in close by… then she helped me with the printer which had started to misbehave about 11:30 last night, right in the middle of a project… 

once it was fixed she laid down for a nap and I proceeded to finish the project… 

realized last night how much has to happen before the kids arrive from the East and West on Friday and Saturday… made me a bit nervous, but I wrote a list and checked off a few items today, which made me feel better…

it has been a long time since the two of us have spent the day together, and I enjoyed it all… we met two dear friends for lunch and had a great time… special moments…

tonight my son-in-law fixed two different timers so that the various Christmas trees turn on and off without my help… yay… need to get about three more timers so that everything can be automated…

here are the bigger trees with presents under them now (one of the items checked off the list)…

 
tonight’s supper was a lovely treat… Chinese food, so all we had to do was set the table, lol… and eat…

now everyone has gone home and I am enjoying the quiet beauty of the living room…

 how blessed my life is…
